The tragedy of civilization consists in

  • A.death
  • B.facilitates that increase life expectancy
  • C.increase in population
  • D.desire of human beings to live on forever

Answer: D

The tragedy of civilization, in the quotation, is the refusal of the doomed creature to die, which means the desire of human beings to live on forever. This is the last option.

Death itself is not the tragedy, nor are facilities that raise life expectancy or an increase in population. The words point at the refusal to accept death. The refusal to accept death is what makes it a tragedy in the speaker's view, and the passage returns to that idea when it discusses education for death.
