Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions

from 21 to 25:
Science has obviously multiplied the power of the war-makers.
The weapons of the moment can kill more people more secretly
and more unpleasantly than those of the past. This progress as
for want of another word I must call it this progress has been
going on for some time. It has been said of each new weapon
that it is so destructive and horrible that it will frighten people
into their wits and force the nations to give up war for lack of
cannon fodder. This hope has never been fulfilled, and I know
no one who takes refuge in it today. The acts of men and women
are not dictated by such simple compulsions and they
themselves do not stand in any simple relation to the decision
of the nations which they compromise. Grapeshot, TNT and gas
have not helped to outlaw war and I see no sign that the
hydrogen bomb or a whiff of bacteria will be more successful in
making men wise by compulsion. Secondly, science at the same
time has given the nations quite new occasions for falling out. I
do not mean such simple objectives as someone else's uranium
mine or a Pacific Island which happens to be knee-deep in
organic fertilizer. I do not mean merely another nation's
factories and her skilled production. These are all parts of the
surplus above our simple needs which gives our civilization the
character andvwar in our times battens on this surplus. This is
the object of the greed of nations and this also gives them the
leisure to train and the means to arm for war. At
bottom, we have remained individually too greedy to distribute
our surplus and collectively too stupid to pile it up in any more
useful form than the traditional mountains of arms. Science has
created the surplus. Now put this year's budget beside the
budget of 1750, anywhere in the world, and you will see what
we are doing with it.

a. create the surplus by using science.
