Directions to Solve
Laws of nature are not commands but statements of acts. The use of the word "law" in this context is rather unfortunate. It would be better to speak of uniformities in nature. This would do away with the elementary fallacy that a law implies a law giver. If a piece of matter does not obey a law of nature it is punished. On the contrary, we say that the law has been incorrectly started.

The correct answer is Option B.
The passage emphasizes that the term 'law' is misleading because it shows that laws are being created by lawgivers, but the author prefers to view this as a uniformities of nature.
However he also mentions that "it would be better to refer to uniformities of nature", but he is mainly unhappy with the word 'law' because it implies an agency which made them.
Option D is partially true because the term "law" may create false belief but he didn't state anywhere in the context as it leads us to the false belief but implies an agency,
Hence option B is the correct answer.

The Answer Should be C.
It Clearly reflects from the passage that the author is not much convinced with the word 'law' rather he has asked the readers to judge the sense of uniformity should be the underlying meaning on the back of the fallacy he mentioned underscoring 'law should be given by a lawgiver'.

I think Option B is correct.
The author expresses dissatisfaction with the use of the word "law" because it falsely suggests the existence of a lawgiver or agency responsible for creating these laws. The author prefers the term "uniformities in nature" to avoid this implication.

I think A is the correct answer because, the author states that the laws of nature are NOT commands,command is too harsh a word.
Yes we call them "Laws", but still they are just statements of acts done by nature itself.

As per the author, Because of law nature can't make uniformity in all. If some one right about his opinion but it is against the law of nature is punished. So this perfectly explain the theme rigidity and harshness.

The ans should be C.
According to the line " It would be better to speak of uniformities in nature" simply shows that author was not happy with the word"LAW" because it does not convey the uniformities in nature.

The ans should be C. As somtimes law makes the judgement bias for one party, means it is not uniform in all cases.
But for nature's law it comes with eqiuty to every dwellers of it.

Here mentioned: If a piece of matter does not obey a law of nature it is punished-so it seems rigidity and harshness, I think A is the answer.

If a piece of matter does not obey a law of nature it is punished. It denotes rigidity and harness hence option A is correct.

A is surely a wrong answer. The answer should be B--a law implies a law giver-- and it does not hold true for nature.
