In the following sentence, a part of the sentence is underlined. Beneath each sentence, four different ways of paraphrasing the underlined part are indicated. Choose the best alternative among the four options.
This government has given subsidies to the Navratnas, but there is no telling whether the subsequent one will do.
Options
whether the subsequent government will do so
if the government to follow will accept the policy
if the government to follow will adhere to the policy

Solution
no telling whether the subsequent one will do, will be replaced by, whether the subsequent government will do. Therefore 'whether the subsequent government will do so' is the correct choice and other options do not fit in the context.
