CAT Question of the Day
Sometime in the 1940s, Enrico Fermi was talking about the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence with some other physicists. They were impressed that life had evolved quickly and progressively on Earth. They figured our galaxy holds about 100 billion stars, and that an intelligent, exponentially-reproducing species could colonize the galaxy in just a few million years. They reasoned that extraterrestrial intelligence should be common by now. Fermi listened patiently, then asked, simply, 'So, where is everybody?' That is, if extraterrestrial intelligence is common, why haven't we met any bright aliens yet? This conundrum became known as Fermi's Paradox.

Which of the following, if true, does not resolve Fermi's Paradox?
  1. Intelligent life may be abundant in the galaxy, but the huge interstellar distances make travelling to other solar systems impossible.
  2. Human technological progress hints that intelligent societies that reach a particular technological level – i.e. the invention of nuclear weapons – may wind up destroying themselves in the long run.
  3. Travelling to other stars requires moving faster than light, which violates the laws of physics, but it is still possible to send a message that way.
  4. Earth may be a strange aberration in a galaxy largely devoid of intelligent life.

OPTIONS
 
 1)Only II
 2)Only III
 3)Both I and IV
 4)Both II and IV
 5)Both I and III
Tip of the Day
In questions based on Reading Comprehensions, certain options use words from the passage to induce a sense of familiarity in the reader's mind. Make sure to verify if these options are actually relevant to the question asked.
