Read the passage and answer the following questions (72-75):
A closer analysis carried out by feminists in recent years has revealed that the dominant social relations are also part and parcel of technology itself. We can no longer argue whether reproductive technology or genetic technology as such is good or bad; the very basic principles of this technology have to be criticized no less than its methods. These are based on exploitation and subordination alike of nature, women and other peoples (colonies). In this context lies the inherent sexist, racist and ultimately fascist bias of the new reproductive technologies.
Reproductive technology and genetic engineering are based on the same principles as physics and other sciences. Like other sciences, they involve the dissection of living organisms into ever smaller particles, molecules, cells, nuclei, genes, DNA and their various recombination’s according to the plan of the (male) engineer. In this process to select desirable elements and eliminate undesirable ones is crucial. In fact, without the principle of selection and elimination the whole technology of reproduction and genetics would make no sense. What purpose would a study of genetics serve if not to promote the propagation of what are considered to be desirable attributes and the elimination of those seen as undesirable? This applies as much to human genetics as to plant and animal genetics and applies equally to reproductive technology, which is based on the selection of fertile elements (Sperm, ova) and their combination outside the female body. This selection and elimination would not be possible if those living organisms were left intact and free to regulate their reproduction in accordance with their own desires, love and lust.
Carolyn Merchant finds a parallel to the dissection and invasion of nature in the torture of women in witch pogroms and shows that both types of violence are intrinsic to the method of modern science and technology. Francis Bacon, founding father of the modern scientific method, perceived nature as a witch whose secrets has to be extracted by force. Force and violence constitute the invisible foundation upon which modern science was built. Hence violence against women in the witch pogroms, and violence against nature which was perceived as a woman.
72. What kind of analysis carried out by feminists in recent years?
(A) Dominant social relations are part and parcel of technology itself
(B) Social constraints are not leading to gender discrimination
(C) Exploitation and oppression are in the roots of technology
(D) All above
Answer: (A)

(B) Superiority over inferiority

(D) Women’s reproductive role
Answer: (A)
74. What applies equally to reproductive technology?
(A) The selection of fertile elements
(B) The elimination of undesirable
(C) To select desirable elements
(D) To regulate their reproduction
Answer: (A)
75. Assertion (A): Francis Bacon perceived that nature as a witch whose secrets has to be extracted by force.
Reason (R): Force and violence constitute the invisible foundation. Hence violence against women in the witch pogroms and violence against nature which was perceived as a woman.
