But man is not destined to vanish. He can be killed, but he cannot be destroyed, because his soul is deathless and his spirit is irrepressible. Therefore, though the situation seems dark in the context of the confrontation between the superpowers, the silver lining is provided by amazing phenomenon that the very nations which have spent incalculable resources and energy for the production of deadly weapons are desperately trying to find out how they might never be used. They threaten each other, intimidate each other and go to the brink, but before the total hour arrives they withdraw from the brink.

Hi,
workout : I need help in Question-3.
Though I answered it correct but for a moment while answering this question I was tempted to mark E. I have observed that in questions like these in other RCs as well I tend to mark the wrong one. What do you suggest I should do in order to avoid this mistake.
My reasoning for E was that Author might say that indeed if all countries produce N-weapons then probably all of them fear each other and hence avoid war. Hence this can be a silver lining.
Thanks.
