Which of the following statements best reflects the logical inference from the passage given above?
(a) It is an important agenda of the countries around the world to ensure access to good external financing. · (b) Good corporate governance improves the credibility of the firms. · (c) International capital markets ensure that the firms maintain good corporate governance. · (d) Good corporate governance paves the way for robust supply chains.
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) सुचारु निगम शासन प्रतिष्ठानों की विश्वसनीयता को बढ़ाता है ।
Good governance brings accountability and control, and investors put money where disclosure, accurate reporting and fair treatment of stakeholders are assured, which is why such firms get easier external finance. The inference is that good governance makes firms more credible.
- ✗ (a) The passage says corporate governance moved onto the global agenda; it does not say ensuring access to external financing is countries' agenda.
- ✓ (b) Accountability, control, timely and accurate reporting and equal treatment are the standards investors trust, so good governance raises a firm's credibility and its access to funds.
- ✗ (c) This reverses the link: the growth of capital markets is why governance became important; markets are not said to ensure good governance.
- ✗ (d) Supply chains are not mentioned.
Remember · Watch for reversed cause and effect: an option that swaps the passage's cause and result is a classic trap.
