Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The primary purpose of education is to make our lives easy and beautiful in all aspects. However, if we analyze the actions done and the endeavours undertaken by the educated people of all times, we find that those have not always been beneficial to humankind; some have even threatened the existence of human beings. Thus, education at many times has failed to serve its primary purposes. Why does it happen? Education gives us knowledge and skills, and eventually provides us with power. This power sometimes turns us into monsters and, sometimes, angels because the power of education can be used both for good and evil purposes depending on the intention of its users. The wars, for example, that took the lives of billions of innocent people were waged and executed by the educated people. Heinous scams and horrific incidents of corruption were also committed by the individuals having high academic degrees from world famous institutions. So, education does not always guarantee beauty and ennoble us unless it is imbued with morality, ethics and humanity.
