Read this question in English
With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
I. People above the poverty line also are prone to suffer from anxiety about economic insecurity.
II. Eradication of poverty can result in peace and social equality in the country.
Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?
(a) I only · (b) II only · (c) Both I and II · (d) Neither I nor II
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (a) केवल I
The passage directly says that even people just above the poverty line face several economic insecurities, so I holds. It never links removing poverty with peace or social equality, so II is an outside claim.
- ✓ I The passage says 'even those just over the poverty line are subject to multiple economic insecurities' arising from wealth or health risks, market fluctuations and job-related uncertainties.
- ✗ II Nothing is said about poverty eradication bringing peace or social equality. The passage actually shifts attention away from poverty towards insecurity.
Remember · An assumption that promises a sweeping result, like 'peace and social equality', from a single cause is usually beyond the passage.
