(c) Duly highlight the supremacy of the nations which possess nuclear weapons. (b) Illustrate the devastating effects of use of nuclear weapons on mankind. The author's most important objective of writing the above passage seems to (a) Highlight the use of nuclear weapons as an effective population control measures. (a) Beneficial (b) Harmful (c) Irreparable (d) Non-cognizable 2. Choose the word, which is most opposite in meaning of the word, printed in bold as used in the passage Deleterious. The population size of Homo sapiens conceivably could be reduced to prehistoric levels or below, and extinction of the human species itself cannot be excluded. In either case the extinction of a large fraction of the earth's animals, plants and microorganism seems possible. In any event, there would be severe consequences, even in the areas not affected directly, because of the interdependence of the world economy. If, as now seems possible, the Southern Hemisphere were affected also, global disruption of the biosphere could ensue. Post war survivors would face starvation as well as freezingĬonditions in the dark and be exposed to near lethal doses of radiation. Productivity in natural and agricultural ecosystems could be severely restricted for a year or more. Sub-freezing temperatures, low light levels, and high doses of ionizing and ultraviolet radiation extending for many months after a large-scale nuclear war could destroy the biological support system of civilization, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. Its report suggested that the long biological effects resulting from climatic changes may at least be as serious as the immediate ones. A meeting of biologists on the Long-Term Worldwide Biological consequences of nuclear war added frightening dimension to those forecasts. How appropriate it is that all this valuable skill should be devoted to the manufacture of weapons of death in a world of poverty is a question that must touch the scientific conscience. To this must be added the fact that more than 50 percent of the skilled scientific manpower in the world is now engaged in the armaments industry. Now the time is ripe to evaluate the responsibility of scientists who knowingly use their expertise for the construction of such weapons, which has deleterious effect on mankind. These activities are not only opposed to morality but also to law if the legal objection can be added to the moral, the argument against the use and the manufacture of these weapons will considerably be reinforced.
There is a fairly universal sentiment that the use of nuclear weapons is clearly contrary to morality and that its production probably so, does not go far enough.
