Read the given passage and answer the question that question that follow. On paper the Indian Government spends a lot on the poor but in reality the poor barely get anything. The major reason for this misallocation of funds is corruption. As the money has to pass through several stages before reaching the poor, most of it is taken by the corrupt officials and the small amount that reaches the poor, is used inadequately. This is one of the problems that slows down the progress of the country. Which of the following argument could be made from the above passage? Correct Answer Poor people cannot develop until the money meant for them reaches them. The correct answer is option 2. Poor people cannot develop until the money meant for them reaches them. From the given passage, we can understand that the Indian Government wishes to spend money on the poor in order to help them but the money never reaches the poor because of the corrupt officials. This slows down the progress of the poor and eventually, of the country. the passage gives us no information regarding the funds being spent on farmers, hence option 1 is wrong. Option 3 goes against the discussion in the passage, and hence is wrong. Option 4 is also wrong, as there is no information in the passage through which relates to corruption and democracy. Hence, argument 2 is the only argument that supports the statement by favouring the point made in the passage, that is, the poor can only develop when the money that is meant for them is used by them. Hence, option 2 is the right answer.
