sir, can you provide the explanation
of 4th question.

Explanation

4. The author primarily believes that radical skepticism is an unreasonable position because __________.

Explanation

The passage discusses the position of radical skepticism, which questions the existence of all things or our knowledge of anything. The author argues against this position and presents reasons why radical skepticism is unreasonable.

The author suggests that it is not reasonable to be skeptical to the extent of distrusting our senses and questioning the existence of everything. The author argues that our senses provide us with certainty and evidence of the existence of things in the world. The author states that the certainty of things existing, based on the testimony of our senses, is as great as our condition needs and is suited to the purpose of our lives.

The passage further explains that our faculties, such as our senses, are not meant to provide us with a perfect and comprehensive knowledge of things. Instead, they are designed to serve our purpose in preserving ourselves and to give us certain notice of things that are convenient or inconvenient to us. The author argues that the evidence provided by our senses is sufficient to direct us in attaining what is good and avoiding what is harmful or causes us pain.

Therefore, the author primarily believes that radical skepticism is an unreasonable position because it is to our advantage to trust what the senses tell us about what gives pleasure or pain. The evidence provided by our senses guides our actions and helps us make decisions based on the reality of the world we experience.

Hence, the correct answer is (A) it is to our advantage to trust what the senses tell us about what gives pleasure or pain.
