Directions: Read the given passage carefully and answer the question that follows.

Before the dawn of civilisation, man overpowered the weak with his physical strength. In the struggle for existence, it was the survival of the fittest. Might was right. Man didn't think twice before killing his prey. So, the prehistoric man was almost barbaric and lived solely on the strength of his muscle power. Gradually, man became aware of his intellectual ability. He learned to turn things in his favour by using his brain. He realised that he was superior to all in the animal kingdom due to his ability to think. He began using his mind to deal with day-to-day situations. As the civilization advanced, it became apparent that there was no need to cross swords to solve all the problems. In fact, it was realized that the pen is mightier than the sword. A sword may kill a man, but it certainly cannot bring about a change of heart or values.

Pens can create a revolution in the minds of men. In France, during the reign of King Louis XIV, there was a lot of discontent among the masses. The writings of Rousseau and Voltaire at that time fired the imagination of people. The King’s strong army could not stop the onrush of the flood-waters of the revolution. On the other hand, even the army was influenced by the slogans of equality, fraternity and liberty. Their loyalties also changed under the influence of the revolutionary ideas of Rousseau and Voltaire.
