Question

Many of us live one-eyed lives. We rely largely on the eye of the mind to form our images of reality. It is a mechanical world based on fact and reason. (\_\_\_\_\_\_) So today more and more of us are opening the other eye, the eye of the heart, looking for realities to which the mind’s eye is blind. This is a world warmed and transformed by the power of love, a vision of community beyond the mind’s capacity to see. Either eye alone is not enough. We need “wholesight”, a vision of the world in which mind and heart unite.

• A. It had led to unprecedented scientific growth and material well-being.
• B. In the nuclear age, our mind-made world has been found flawed and dangerous, even lethal.
• C. The question is irrelevant, whether or not they can be seen and reasoned.
• D. We have built our lives based on it because it seemed predictable and safe.

Hint:

When a paragraph offers a contrast or shift in viewpoint, the missing sentence usually serves as a bridge highlighting the reason for that shift — such as a failure, limitation, or crisis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The passage contrasts the mind's vision (cold, fact-driven, mechanical) with the heart's vision (emotional, compassionate, holistic). The missing sentence needs to highlight a flaw or danger in relying solely on the mind's eye.
Option (b) fits logically because it introduces a turning point — the mind's dominance has led to dangerous consequences in the nuclear age.
This sets the stage for the need to “open the eye of the heart.”
Other options either drift from the theme (like (a) merely praising science) or break the logical flow ((c) and (d)).
