Refer to the passage given above. In the final sentence, the phrase "a promise deferred" implies that the self-correction of science:
1.
has already been achieved through the introduction of registered reports.
2.
is impossible in principle and should be abandoned as an ideal.
3.
occurs only in textbooks and never in actual research practice.
4.
remains an unfulfilled ideal rather than a present reality.
Correct Answer: remains an unfulfilled ideal rather than a present reality.
"A promise deferred" means something pledged but not yet delivered — self-correction is celebrated in textbooks but, the author argues, not yet realised in practice. Options (a) and (b) overstate the claim.
