‘A language is most easily leant when it is in tune with the social context. To teach an Indian child in English at the primary stage ... strengthens distinctions of class and status and warps the mind. Failure to resort to regional languages in literacy campaigns also hampers their success'.

Which of the following claims, if true, would weaken the argument in the passage above?


Direction : Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:

In a monarchy, the king or queen is the head of state. However, as the UK has a constitutional monarchy, the ability to make and pass legislation belongs to Parliament rather than the Queen. The monarch retains a symbolic role in government. She formally opens Parliament every year, and when the government passes a bill, it cannot become an Act of Parliament until it receives her stamp of approval, a process called Royal Assent. In reality, though, no monarch has refused to give Royal Assent since 1708, when Queen Anne did so only at the behest of ministers. As such, Queen Elizabeth II’s formal duties are largely representational, such as embarking on goodwill visits abroad and hosting foreign heads of state. The monarch’s main role is to serve as a vital part of Britain’s “national identity, unity, and pride”, says the official royal website, royal.uk.

Which one of the following can be inferred from the passage?

Statement: Should India adopt a Presidential system?

Arguments:
(a) Yes - Because our experience of Parliamentary democracy is disappointing. 
(b) No - Because it will concentrate power in the hands of a few people.


Identify the alternative which best explains the relation between the arguments mentioned below:

Arguments:

1. It is highly probable that every student of Law at University level would have done a course on principles of ethics and Rama being a student of law, in all probability, would have done a course on principles of ethics.

2. At University level, every faculty aims at a super specialty for which emphasis is laid upon structuring the curricula in such a way that every faculty is treated as a closed system so that no inter-disciplinary study is acceptable. Principles of ethics being essentially an integral part of philosophy most probably are out of any course on law.


Given below is some statement followed by two arguments. Read carefully and decide which of the arguments strongly support the statement.

Statement: Should a strong institution of ombudsman be created in India?

Arguments:

(i) Yes, this will bring transparency and accountability in the administration

(ii) No, this will develop lack of initiative and flexibility in the administration.


Between 1951 and 1963, it was illegal in the country of  Geronia to manufacture, sell, or transport any alcoholic beverages. Despite this prohibition, however, the death rate from diseases related to excessive alcohol consumption was higher during the first five years of the period than it was during the five years prior to 1951. Therefore, the attempt to prevent alcohol use merely made people want and use alcohol more than they would have if it had not been forbidden.  Each of the following, it true, weakens the argument EXCEPT:


Unless they are used as strictly temporary measures, rent control ordinances (municipal regulations placing limits on rent increase) have several negative effects for renters. One of these is that the controls will bring about a shortage of rental units. This disadvantage for renters occurs over the long run, but the advantage-smaller rent increases - occurs immediately. In many municipalities, especially in all those where tenants of rent-control units have a secure hold on political power and can get rent-control ordinances enacted or repealed, it is invariably the desire for short-term gain that guides those tenants in the exercise of that power.   
If the statements above are true, which one of the following can be properly inferred from them?
