Question

The author suggests that the revival of traditional knowledge should:

1. A. Avoid being treated as unquestionable or perfect. (Correct answer)
2. B. Completely replace modern scientific systems.
3. C. Focus only on its religious aspects.
4. D. Depend solely on government funding.

Correct Answer

Option A — Avoid being treated as unquestionable or perfect.

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Avoid being treated as unquestionable or perfect..

Key Points

• The second paragraph opens with *revival must not mean blind imitation of the past*, and adds that traditional knowledge *should be studied critically*.
• To study something critically is precisely to refuse to treat it as unquestionable or perfect.

Additional Information

• Option B inverts the author's balance — the passage seeks collaboration *among scientists, scholars, and local practitioners*, not replacement of modern science.
• Option C narrows the subject to religion, which the passage does not discuss; its examples are medical, agricultural and architectural.
• Option D raises funding, a topic absent from the passage.
• In RC questions phrased as *the author suggests*, the answer is normally a restatement of an explicit sentence — here, the caution against blind imitation.
