Question 16.
"In fact, truth and power have a far more complicated relationship, because in human society, power means two very different things."
Question Explanation
Option A: The author here emphasizes that the choice between truth and social cohesion is a difficult one for scholars, as it means choosing between truth or uniting everyone using a common narrative. Here, the reach and influence of fiction created by that scholar has been overemphasized, and hence, is the answer.
Option B: There is no overemphasis in this option. Since humans have achieved these feats, and these feats do manipulate the objective reality around us, Option B can be eliminated.
Option C: Here too, the importance of fiction has not been overemphasized, but the importance of truth has been downplayed.
Option D: Option D presents a statement, which is unrelated to the emphasis being placed on the importance of myths.
