Question

It is time that begging must be forbidden in all public places in India. Exploitation of charitable instincts in general, far from solving the problem of poverty, may infact aggravate it by inducing laziness. Which of the following, if true, would support the above reasoning?

Options

• Destitution is the result of an unwillingness to work

• Most beggars are really poor

• All poor people do not beg

• None of the above

Answer 1

Destitution is the result of an unwillingness to work

Explanation:

The first statement which states that destitution (poverty) is a result of an unwillingness to work (laziness) supports this reasoning. This statement means that beggars became poor and had to beg because they were lazy and unwilling to work. Now, if they are given aims, it will fulfill their needs and they may continue to be lazy.
