Modern warfare has changed from large scale clashes of armies to suppression of civilian populations. Chemical agents that do their work silently appear to be suited to such warfare; and regretfully, there exist people in military establishments who think that chemical agents are useful tools for their cause.
Which of the following statements best sums up the meaning of the above passage:
"there exist people in military establishments who think that chemical agents are useful tools for their cause"
makes the option (D) correct.
Using the word "regretfully" may be the personal opinion of someone.
why not OPTION B?
Chemical agents that do their work silently appear to be suited to such warfare.
Chemical warfare is the use of the toxic properties of chemical substances to kill, injure or incapacitate an enemy in warfare and associated military operations.
i think option B also seems correct
“there exist people in military establishments who think that chemical agents are useful tools for their cause” The cause here means “suppression of civilian populations” and not a conventional war. The option D is wrong.
