Which among the following is the most logical corollary to the above passage?
(a) Launching more welfare schemes and allocating more finances for the current schemes are urgently needed · (b) Efforts should be made to push up economic growth by other means and provide licences to the poor · (c) Greater transparency in the functioning of the government and promoting the financial inclusion are needed at present · (d) We should concentrate more on developing manufacturing sector than service sector
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (c) वर्तमान में सरकार की कार्य-प्रणाली को और पारदर्शी तथा वित्तीय समावेशन को प्रोत्साहित करने की आवश्यकता है
The passage blames crony capitalism — land, resources and licences traded for payoffs — for killing transparency and competition and for creating oligarchies that slow growth. The corollary is greater transparency in government, with financial inclusion widening opportunity beyond the favoured few.
- ✗ (a) More welfare spending does nothing about cronyism, the problem the passage raises.
- ✗ (b) 'Other means' of growth and licences for the poor sidestep the real issue — lost transparency and competition.
- ✓ (c) Crony capitalism works 'by killing transparency and competition'; transparency and wider access to finance counter it.
- ✗ (d) Manufacturing versus services is never discussed.
Remember · A corollary follows straight from the passage's diagnosis; choose the option that removes the cause the passage names.
