IPMAT Indore 2022 - VA Q74 Explanation

Explanation:

(b)

Universe (n)– cosmos

Ideologies - a set of ideas which form the basis for a political or economic system

Phenomenon (singular) - an observable fact or event; Phenomena (plural)

Configuration (n) - the way in which the parts of something, or a group of things, are arranged

Option (d) can be ruled out as the word configuration would be a misfit in the first blank.

Option (a) can be ruled out as achieving spaceflights helps observe objects and ‘ideologies’ that are better observed from a space perspective, probably not; it won’t be parallel.

Option (c) can be ruled out as the aforementioned activities aren’t the elements of space ‘identification’. Let’s place option B in the blanks and see its impact Achieving spaceflight enabled humans to begin to explore the solar system and the rest of the universe, to understand the many objects and phenomena that are better observed from a space perspective, and to use for human benefit the resources and attributes of the space environment. All of these activities - discovery, scientific understanding, and the application of that understanding to serve human purposes – are elements of space exploration.
