We should not despise the savage tribes because :

  • A.they do not believe in science.
  • B.they indulge in useless arguments.
  • C.they have stopped being superstitious.
  • D.we are no less superstitious than they are.

Answer: D

We should not despise the savage tribes because we are no less superstitious than they are.

The passage says that if we are tempted to look down on savage tribes for such ideas, we should remember that 'even today, among most civilised nations, a great many equally stupid superstitions exist'. The reason for not despising them is that civilised people share their weakness.

Disbelief in science, useless arguments and stopping superstition are not given in the passage as reasons. The passage in fact says the tribes hold such ideas, so the third option is the reverse.
