Discussion
Which of the following statements may be assumed to be false from the information in the passage?
1.The writer finds the attitude of modern economists towards natural resources to be uneconomic.
2.Buddhist economists are in different to the cost of fuels
3.To use oil on non-essentials is contrary to the Buddhist economic philosophy
4.To fell a tree is an act of violence not permitted by Buddhist economists
Of the above statements
Answer: B
Correct answer: 1, 2 and 4 are false
Statement 1 is false because it is the Buddhist, not the writer's modern economist, who would call careless use uneconomic; the modern economist calls it economic. Statement 2 is false because Buddhist economics does not ignore cost, it simply refuses to let cost be the only measure. Statement 4 is false because wood is named as a renewable fuel that may properly be used. Only statement 3 holds: using oil on non-essentials is exactly what the passage forbids.
