What has resulted from the modern debasement of man?

• A. The belief that man is merely a higher form of animal
• B. Human progress through science
• C. Moral revival
• D. Divine destiny of humanity

Answer: (A)

When we talk about the modern debasement of man, the idea at work is that human beings come to be seen mainly as biological, animal-like creatures rather than as beings with special moral or spiritual status. That shift in perspective makes the most sense as the belief that man is merely a higher form of animal. It emphasizes naturalistic explanations for human behavior and downplays transcendent or unique aspects of human dignity.

The other possibilities don’t fit as well because they imply improvement, revival, or destiny beyond the animalistic view. Seeing humans as a higher form of animal focuses on reduction rather than uplift or transcendence, which is why it’s the best answer.
