In this question, a statement is given followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. It is required to grasp the statement, analyze the problem or policy it mentions and then decide which of the courses of action logically follow / most appropriate.Statement:A large number of people die every year due to drinking polluted water during the summer.Courses of action:I) The government should make adequate arrangements to provide safe drinking water to all its citizens.II) The people should be educated about the dangers of drinking polluted water.
Correct answer: E. If both I and II follow
- A. If only I follows
- B. If only II follows
- C. If either I or II follows
- D. If neither I nor II follows
- E. If both I and II follow
Explanation
The correct answer is Option E: If both I and II follow. Providing safe drinking water (Course I) is a direct solution to the problem, ensuring that people have access to non-polluted water. Simultaneously, educating the public about the dangers of drinking polluted water (Course II) ensures that individuals are aware of the risks and can make informed decisions to protect their health. Both actions together create a comprehensive approach to addressing the issue effectively. Relying on only one of these actions may not fully resolve the problem, as education without access to safe water still leaves people vulnerable, and infrastructure without awareness may lead to misuse or negligence.
