Question

but the darkened mind is incapable of embracing these displacements in our universe, and both the most sophisticated and the veriest simpleton among us, drawing on all lifes experience, can gasp out only: \me? what for?\
and this is a question which, though repeated millions and millions of times before, has yet to receive an answer.
according to the passage, why were people arrested?
○ the people were embracing the displacements in the universe.
○ the people were causing political trouble for the government.
○ the people were never given an answer as to why they were arrested.
○ the people were too simple and not doing enough for society.

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: The passage says "the darkened mind is incapable of embracing these displacements", so this option is wrong.
• Analyze Option 2: The passage has no mention of political trouble for the government, so this is incorrect.
• Analyze Option 3: The passage states "this is a question... has yet to receive an answer" (the question is "Me? What for?" which is about why they were arrested), so this matches.
• Analyze Option 4: The passage doesn't talk about people being too simple or not doing enough for society, so this is wrong.

Answer:

C. The people were never given an answer as to why they were arrested.
