PASSAGE-2
As I write, highly civilized human beings
are flying overhead, trying to kill me. They do
not feel any enmity against me as an individual,
nor I against them. They are only doing their
duty, as the saying goes. Most of them are kindhearted law-abiding men who would never dream
of committing murder in private life. But if one
of them succeeds in blowing me to pieces, he will
still be able to sleep without any degree of
compunction. He is serving his country, which
has the power to absolve him from evil.

198. The reason why they are trying to kill the
author is that:

are
199. In this passage the author assumes that
doing ones duty to ones country:
(A) heightens ones sensibility
(B) exonerates a person of his act of killing
(C) makes one kind-hearted
(D) makes one desist from doing anything
unscrupulous
