Statement: Most development plans exist on paper only. Courses of action: I. The incharges should be instructed to supervise the fieldwork regularly. II. The supply of paper to such departments should be cut short.
Correct answer: A. If only I is the most appropriate
- A. If only I is the most appropriate
- B. If only II is the most appropriate
- C. If either I or II is most appropriate
- D. If neither I nor II is most appropriate
Explanation
The problem is a lack of implementation, not an excess of paper. Instructing supervisors to monitor fieldwork (Action I) directly addresses the gap between planning and execution. Cutting the paper supply (Action II) is an illogical and punitive measure that doesn't solve the problem.

About Course of Action
Course of action questions present a problem and several proposed responses, asking whether each response is practical, relevant, proportionate and directed at the stated cause. Sound action should be feasible and ethical, while an immediate reaction, an unrelated measure or an extreme solution does not necessarily address the problem.
