As inferred from the passage, which of the following cannot be included in the various achievements made by the science?

Directions: Answer the question based on the following passage.

The ancients never believed in the noblest and most ennobling ideal of modern science –– that man can change and improve nature. The abolition of disease; the curtailment of labour; the suppression of physical pain; the conquest of distance, planetary and interplanetary; penetration of the heights and the depths, the deserts and the poles; interrogation of nature far beyond the limits of our own senses and the construction of machinery to continue that questioning and then change the answers into acts –– these magnificent achievements have given modern man a new freedom which raises him higher above the animals, and allows him, with justice, to boast of being wiser than his ancestors.
