The OA is correct.

It is clear that scientists accept that mathematicians uncover literal truth (as the author points out several times, that's what mathematicians are known for doing.) But do scientists think that the literal truth of an argument can be made clear only in a mathematical context? Yes, we can infer that scientists make this assumption because the opening sentence of the second paragraph tells us that outside of a mathematical context (ie, in reality), science deals with imperfectly understood approximations. Thus, in the real world the literal truth of an argument may not be made clear. (There is also more evidence to support this inference when towards the end of the passage, when the author discusses how literal and precise arguments--the mathemeticians' domain--are anathema to physicists).

And, in fact, the third paragraph discusses a paradoxical danger of the interrelationship between scientists and mathematicians: scientists work in reality and provide to mathematicians fuzzy or ill-defined situations; mathematicians then take these ill-defined situations and make assumptions in order to treat these ill-defined situations as well-defined so that they are able to do their math (math requires well-defined situations); mathemeticians then hand their conclusions to scientists and scientists may rely on those conclusions even though they were based on the assumptions that the mathemeticians made.

BTW, I really enjoyed this passage. What's the source?

hmmmm...that was good one.

I got 5 of them correct, But I want to know how better can we approach these kind of RC's.

I would instead say that theseRC's are complicated than being tough.

I know that I put ina very vague and a complete open ended question ,but any thoughts put in would be apreciated.

Thanks

The test-maker has different ways of making passages tough. This passage is tough because it is complicated.

how do you view this picture text ? When I save it as a doc and open it, the font size is small and can hardly read them.
If I increase or zoom out the image, the text is cut off... I am having a difficult time viewing this picture text
