The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage.If a consciousness of the eternal were not implanted in man; if the basis of all that exists were but a confusedly fermenting element which, convulsed by obscure passions, produced all, both the great and the insignificant; if under everything there lay a bottomless void never to be filled—what else were life but despair? If it were thus, and if there were no sacred bonds between man and man; if one generation arose after another, as in the forest the leaves of one season succeed the leaves of another, or like the songs of birds which are taken up one after another; if the generations of man passed through the world like a ship passing through the sea and the wind over the desert—a fruitless and a vain thing; if eternal oblivion were ever greedily watching for its prey and there existed no power strong enough to wrest it from its clutches—how empty were life then, and how dismal!Life would be filled with despair if it lacked a consciousness of the eternal, sacred human bonds, and if everything led to eternal oblivion, rendering human existence vain and dismal.The absence of eternal consciousness and sacred bonds among humans would make life like the passing seasons in the forest, meaningless and destined for oblivion.If man did not have an awareness of the eternal and was subject to a world of chaotic forces and ultimate oblivion, life would be devoid of meaning and hope.Life would be dismal and empty if there were no eternal aspect, no meaningful connections between people, and if all existence was just a transient journey towards oblivion.

Those of lowest character preferred the former, adjoining the town; they did not mind the glare of the public eye. they had been of no account during their successes; and though they might feel dispirited, they had no sense of shame in their ruin. Instead of sighing at their adversaries they spat, and instead of saying the iron had entered into their souls they said they were down in their luck.The miserable's who would pause on the remoter bridge of a politer stamppersons who did not know how to get rid of the weary time. The eyes of his species were mostly directed over the parapet upon the running water below. While one on the town ward bridge did not mind who saw him so, and kept his back to parapet to survey the passer-by, one on this never faced the road, never turned his head at coming foot-steps, but, sensitive on his own condition, watched the current whenever a stranger approached, as if some strange fish interested him, though every finned thing had been poached out of the rivers years before.Question Title31.
