Read the passage given below and choose correct answers to the questions. (Q. No. 55 to 57).

The function of discovery is sometimes attributed to imagination. Through the exercise of imagination we hit upon hypotheses which help us to combine the discrete data into synthetic wholes. Hypothesis is the principle of growth in knowledge. In framing a hypothesis we seam to contemplate a situation which does not necessarily exist. We contemplate the non-existent and review a number of alternatives. Such an attitude of mind where the activity of assertion is suspended, and possible alternative situations are supposed seems to be obviously one of imagination. Crore identifies the activity responsible for hypothesis with artistic imagination. But an illuminating hypothesis is not the work of mere uncontrolled imagination. Imagination unvivified by intuition, imagination which is day dreaming, fancy, reverie or guess work, will not help us to light upon the truth except by accident. There is a difference between a mere guess which is the work of imagination and integral knowing or intuition. Those who attribute the framing of hypothesis to imagination assign it, not to the analytical intellect but to the appreciative part of our mind.
