Which of the following states the central idea of the fourth paragraph? Humans must have been of little concern for the inhabitants of Mars who saw only their needs. Humans are more like monkeys than the inhabitants of Mars are like humans. Intellectually, humans knew invasion was likely given the constant struggle for survival. The Martian world was undergoing dangerous cooling of the climate.
And we men, the creatures who inhabit this earth, must be to them at least as alien and lowly as are the monkeys and lemurs to us. The intellectual side of man already admits that life is an incessant struggle for existence, and it would seem that this too is the belief of the minds upon Mars. Their world is far gone in its cooling and this world is still crowded with life, but crowded only with what they regard as inferior animals. To carry warfare sunward is, indeed, their only escape from the destruction that, generation after generation, creeps upon them.
