Ans :B Read the following passage and answer Q No.18 to 20
A man who has no sense of history, Hitler declared, is like a man who has
no ears or eyes. He himself claimed to have had a passionate interest in history
since his school days and he displayed considerable familiarity with the course of
European history. His conversation was studied with historical references and
historical parallels. More than that, Hitler's whole cast of thought was historical, and

his sense of mission was derived from his sense of history. Like his contemporary
Spangler, Hitler was fascinated by the rise and fall of civilisations. He was himself
born at a critical moment in European history when the liberal bourgeois world of the
nineteenth century was disintegrating. What would take its place? The future lays
with the 'Jew-Bolshevik' ideology of the masses unless Europe could be saved by the
Nazi racist ideology of the elite.
