Political turmoil in a country is mainly caused by widespread violence and flawed
economic policies of successive governments. If at all this has to be crushed, it can be
achieved only by a dictatorial government which rules with iron hand. Therefore, the need
of the hour is to elect a government which imposes fresh set of stringent legislations.
The alternatives suggested (not necessarily all), if true, considerably weaken the argument.
However, one of them is most forceful. Identify the same.
It is not the imposition of new legislations which is required, but effective adherence to the existing legislations.
That government is the best government which governs least

Exploitation of poor by rich can be stemmed only if the state exercises complete control
over agriculture and industrial production. But state control is
beset by two evils ; corruption and delay. The net result is that if man tries to escape from
one evil, then he is trapped by another. Suffering, hence, is inescapable.
The argument presented above seems to imply the following conclusions. Identify the
one which is least dubious. Apply common sense.
If agriculture and industrial production can be abolished, we can free ourselves from all forms of evil
To avoid evil austere life shall be encouraged
The gap between poor and rich can be bridged by heavily taxing the rich and passing on the largesse to the poor

That the human soul is immaterial is an undisputed fact. Significantly, what is not
matter is not spatial and consequently, it is not vulnerable to motion. Evidently, no
motion no dissolution. What escapes from dissolution is also free from corruptibility.
Therefore, the human soul is immortal. In this argument, one premiss is
missing. Complete the argument by choosing from the following :
Nothing is free from dissolution
What is incorruptible is immortal
There is no motion
There is no motion
Under the same fact situation as above, which one of the following, if true, affects
seriously the argument presented above ?
Matter is not bound by space
Matter is indestructible
Whatever exists is not necessarily affected by motion.
Whatever exists is not necessarily affected by motion.
Protagonists of human rights vehemently oppose capital punishment. Their
opposition stems mainly from three reasons. Firstly, man cannot terminate what he
cannot generate. Secondly, the function of punishment is to reform the culprit. Thirdly, a culprit
should be given an opportunity to repent. Admittedly, death penalty fails on all three counts.
However, the defenders argue that a person is punished because he has to pay for
his deeds. Reformation or repentance, according to them, is peripheral. Hence, death
penalty is admissible.
Which one of the following is the focus of this debate ?
Man's rights and privileges
Nature and purpose of punishment
Prevention of crime
Prevention of crime
