Exploitation of poor by rich can be stemmed only if the state exercises complete control
over agriculture and industrial production. But state control is
beset by two evils ; corruption and delay. The net result is that if man tries to escape from
one evil, then he is trapped by another. Suffering, hence, is inescapable.
The argument presented above seems to imply the following conclusions. Identify the
one which is least dubious. Apply common sense.

  • If agriculture and industrial production can be abolished, we can free ourselves from all forms of evil

  • To avoid evil austere life shall be encouraged

  • The gap between poor and rich can be bridged by heavily taxing the rich and passing on the largesse to the poor

  • The gap between poor and rich can be bridged by heavily taxing the rich and passing on the largesse to the poor

That the human soul is immaterial is an undisputed fact. Significantly, what is not
matter is not spatial and consequently, it is not vulnerable to motion. Evidently, no
motion no dissolution. What escapes from dissolution is also free from corruptibility.
Therefore, the human soul is immortal. In this argument, one premiss is
missing. Complete the argument by choosing from the following :

  • Nothing is free from dissolution

  • What is incorruptible is immortal

  • There is no motion

  • There is no motion

Protagonists of human rights vehemently oppose capital punishment. Their
opposition stems mainly from three reasons. Firstly, man cannot terminate what he
cannot generate. Secondly, the function of punishment is to reform the culprit. Thirdly, a culprit
should be given an opportunity to repent. Admittedly, death penalty fails on all three counts.
However, the defenders argue that a person is punished because he has to pay for
his deeds. Reformation or repentance, according to them, is peripheral. Hence, death
penalty is admissible.
Which one of the following is the focus of this debate ?

  • Man's rights and privileges

  • Nature and purpose of punishment

  • Prevention of crime

  • Prevention of crime
