Statement and Course of Action Question Answers for UGC NET

The government cannot bow to demands of a group just because they’re causing huge inconvenience to the people. 
However, it can accept their demands after careful deliberation. Thus, only II follows.

Since inadequate advertising is one of the problems marring the domestic tournaments, it would be desirable to sanction money for advertisements. Thus, I follow. However, one cannot possibly ask the players to desist from participating in a governing body backed tournament. Thus, II doesn’t follow.

I is impractical. In a country as diverse and populated as India, compulsory voting would create more problems than it will solve. However, voters’ turnout might increase if they themselves understand the benefits of voting, which makes II a desirable course of action.

Asking investors not to pay heed to downward revision would not solve the problems, and will further lower the investor confidence in India. II should be followed as it speaks about addressing the grassroot and core problems that are stalling India’s growth.

I would be a viable and desirable course of action to follow, and will also help the passengers in avoiding or minimizing inconvenience due to late running or departure of trains. However, no sane person can ask the driver not to lower down the speed of the trains even in the fog affected areas just because passengers are affected due to late running of trains, as poor visibility due to fog poses bigger graver risks.

Both do not follow. Firstly, inflation is not completely a natural phenomenon. It is the result of changes in market forces, and thus can be and should be controlled by the government.

Though regulating the wage of workers might have an effect on inflation, it’ll culminate in tussles between the workers’ unions and the government, which might give rise to more problems.

The government can follow either I or II. Since the game is a part of celebration of a festival, it should not be banned. On the other hand, the reasons given for banning it are also concrete and tangible. The game might leave a dent on India’s reputation as a preferred tourism destination. Thus, the government can also deliberate upon making the game less brutal, or banning it altogether.

We are given two problems in the statement- backlog of cases, and other parties being traumatized. II solves the first of these problems, as more judges will lead to a decrease in backlog of cases. III will help in solving both the problems. Thus II and III follow. I is impractical, as it might lead to parties with genuine pleas being stopped from approaching the Supreme Court in appeals.

I doesn’t follow as finding reasons for the difference would not have any tangible effects on the fight against the disease. Further, even the experts say that 30,000 people may have been left disabled by this disease, and thus they might be wrong also. II rightly speaks about preventive as well as curative measures, and thus is a desired course of action.

I and III clearly follow, as they speak about initiating an inquiry, and punishing the guilty. However, II will diminish India’s reputation in the international fraternity, and there are other, better ways of inspiring other hospitals into enhancing their fire safety measures.
