Q34. 34. With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made :
1. Travel leads to an understanding of humans.
2. Travel helps those who wish to learn fundamental common values.
3. A person with long experience in travel can resolve differences amongst people. Which of the assumptions given above are valid?
Detailed Solution
Assumption 1 is valid. The passage discusses how travel helps one understand 'what is parochial and what is universal' in values like 'justice, love and honour, courtesy.' Understanding these values is inherently an understanding of human nature and behavior across cultures.
Assumption 2 is valid. The passage explicitly states, 'the art of learning fundamental common values is perhaps the greatest gain of travel to those who wish to live at ease among their fellows.' This directly supports the assumption that travel aids in learning universal values.
Assumption 3 is invalid. While travel fosters understanding, the passage does not state or imply that a well-traveled person can *resolve differences* among people. Understanding differences is not the same as having the ability to mediate or resolve conflicts.
This goes beyond the scope of the passage. Therefore, only assumptions 1 and 2 are valid. This question tests the ability to identify direct implications and avoid over-extending the passage's claims.
