1-A

Apart from option (a), all the other options are explicit in the

initial paragraphs and are also integral parts of Hume’s theory.

Refer to the wordings “But even where this is possible, Hume

argued, reason is a slow and inefficient guide…..” This makes

(a) the correct answer choice.

2-A

This is mentioned more or less right through the passage.

Recall para 1, ‘Hume held that these unjustifiable beliefs can

be explained by reference to custom or habit’ . Para 3 ‘…reason

is a slow and inefficient guide, while the habits acquired by

much repetition can produce a powerful conviction

independently of reason…’. This clearly shows that Option

(a) is the right answer choice for this question.

3- A

Refer to the line in the 5th paragraph “we form the association

of ideas that produces the habit of expecting the effect”.

Hence option (a) is correct. Option (b) is incorrect as Hume

does not negate the association of ideas by rational

means- he believes that it is inefficient and less likely. Option

(d) is incorrect as the passage mentions that experience

leads to expectation and not what is mentioned in option (d).

Option (c) is again an extreme opinion to which Hume would

not agree.
