Which of the following reflect the intent of the writer in the above passage?
- To evolve methodologies for objective analysis of the two viruses
- To establish the epidemiological similarities and differences between the two viruses
- To offer a better understanding of the remedies of HMPV when analysed in conjunction with SARS-CoV-2 Select the answer using the code given below.
Detailed Explanation:
The passage contrasts HMPV and SARS-CoV-2 to show that HMPV is not a novel threat like COVID-19 was. It highlights key differences: HMPV has been known for decades, shows strong seasonality, causes milder illness, and rarely leads to deaths or long-term symptoms—unlike SARS-CoV-2.
Statement 1 is incorrect—the passage describes existing knowledge, not methodologies for analysis. Statement 2 partially captures the intent (establishing differences), but no option offers "2 only." Statement 3 is incorrect—the passage does not discuss remedies or treatment frameworks.
Therefore, since none of the given statements accurately reflect the writer's intent in isolation or combination, Option 4 is the correct answer.
