The greatest misfortune is that Englishmen and their Indian associates in the administration of the country do not know that the

y are engaged in the crime I have attempted to describe. I am satisfied that many Englishmen and Indian officials honestly believe that they are administering one of the best systems devised in the world and that India is making steady though slow progress. They do no know that a subtle but effective system of terrorism and an organized display of force on the one hand, and the deprivation of all powers of retaliation or self-defense on the other, have emasculated the people and induced in them the habit of simulation. This awful habit has added to the ignorance and the self-deception of the administrators.

Answer:

A). Explain some of the reasons for downplaying the seriousness of the situation.

Explanation:

As per the given excerpt from 'The Hot Zone', the author includes this paragraph most likely to 'describe and demonstrate a few of the reasons for reducing the seriousness of the situation'.

<em>The paragraph displays the effects or reactions if people learn about the hazard or danger that the 'Ebola virus' could bring to the place. This revelation could create panic('mothers screaming 'where are my children', jams heading, etc.)</em><em> </em><em>and among the people and therefore, the truth is required to be kept.</em> The author intends to display some reasons that why the seriousness or intensity of the situation was being downplayed by not revealing it to people as it may worsen the situation. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
