Question : 1

Out of the following statements, choose the one that brings out the principle underlying the Cabinet form of Government:

a) A mechanism for speeding up the activities of the Government whose responsibilities are increasing day by day.

c) An arrangement for minimizing the criticism against the Government whose responsibilities are complex and hard to carry out to the satisfaction of all.

d) A device for strengthening the hands of the head of the Government whose hold over the people is in a state of decline.

Answer: (a)

Ref: NCERT Class 9: Democratic Politics: Chapter 5: Working of the institutions, page 87.
