Dogmatic behaviour, in this passage, has been associated with primitives and children. Which of the following best describes the reason why the author compares primitives with children?
Explanation:
The answer is available with the analysis of this part of the passage: “But dogmatic thinking, an uncontrolled wish to impose regularities, a manifest pleasure in rites and in repetition as such, is characteristic of primitives and children; and increasing experience and maturity sometimes create an attitude of caution and criticism rather than of dogmatism.” Option 1 is eliminated because ‘education’ is not the reason that the writer associates dogma with primitives and children. Option 2 is eliminated for ‘innocence’. Option 3 is contrary to the italicized part of the sentence. Option 5 is eliminated for ‘civilization’. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
