The impressive GDP per capita growth has been used as a justification for the increasingly authoritarian tendencies of president Paul Kagame. Kagame, who has led Rwanda since 1994, was recently re-elected for a third term as president, with more than 98% of the vote. Although Rwanda is a democracy, opposition parties have a difficult time gaining traction as many citizens fear showing dissent. Which of the following can be logically inferred from the above sentences? Correct Answer Rwanda is a repressive country following an antidemocratic trajectory. The correct answer is option 1. Explanation: Let us look at the relevance of each and every option as per the lines given in the question. Option 2 is a mere restatement of what is already given. It is not an inference. Option 3 is not an inference as it goes beyond the scope of the passage by mentioning the constitution. Option 4 cannot be inferred from the passage. Kagame may/may not continue as the president. Option 1 is the correct answer. 'Repressive' means '(especially of a social or political system) inhibiting or restraining personal freedom.' 'Antidemocratic' means 'in conflict with the principles of democracy.' 'Authoritarian' means 'favouring or enforcing strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom.' The following is stated in the given question: "...increasingly authoritarian tendencies of president Paul Kagame..." This means that even though Rwanda is a democratic country, it is increasingly becoming less democratic day by day under the repressive regime of Paul Kagame where the personal freedom of citizens is restrained. Hence, only option 1 can be inferred from the given sentences.
