The scientific theory of evolution has challenged the view of human origin as divine creation and sees us as simply descended from the same ancestors as the apes. While science and technology have provided brilliant insights into our world and eased our everyday life. they have simultaneously deprived us of a view in which our importance is assured. Thus, while science has given us many things, it has taken away much that is also greatly valued.
Which one of the following is assumed in the passage？
(A) Science and technology are of less value than religion.
(B) People have resisted the advances of science and technology.
(C) The assurance that people are important is highly valued.
(D) The world was a better place before the advent of science and technology.
(E) The need of people to feel important is now met by science and technology.

Thus, while science has given us many things, it has taken away much that is also greatly valued.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion here : science has given us many things, it has taken away much that is also greatly valued.
The question is how author of this argument connects his premises to conclusion.

1. Importance of science in our life and what it has provided.
2. science and technology have provided brilliant insights into our world and eased our everyday life.
3. science and technology have simultaneously deprived us of a view in which our importance is assured.
Author assumes that we are important and it has to be valued.
Now look at answer choices:
(A) Science and technology are of less value than religion. -- No relation to conclusion. OFS
(B) People have resisted the advances of science and technology. : No. opposite effect on conclusion.
(C) The assurance that people are important is highly valued.--- Yes. This is the answer.
(D) The world was a better place before the advent of science and technology.--No relation to conclusion.
(E) The need of people to feel important is now met by science and technology.-- opposite what is stated in argument.
