A course of action is a step or administrative decision to be taken for improvement, follow-up or further action in regard to the problem, policy etc. On the basis of the information given in the statement, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

Question :6

  • Statement :
  • The dolphin population in India has been decreasing sharply over the past few years.
  • Courses of action:
  • I. Dolphins should be declared an endangered species and bred in aquariums or protected areas.
  • II. Locals should be enlisted to protect dolphins.

Both the courses of action will help increase the population of dolphins.

Question :7

  • Statement :
  • Severe drought is reported to have set in several parts of the country.
  • Courses of action :
  • I : Govt. should immediately make arrangement for providing financial assistance to those affected.
  • II : Food, water and fodder should immediately be sent to all these areas to save the people and cattle.

Answer: (d)

Only course of action II seems to be appropriate.

In case of severe drought food, water and fodder become scarce and in such a situation these items should be sent immediately to the affected areas to save the people and cattle.

At a glance, the course of action I too seems to be suitable for pursuing.

But the use of term "immediately" makes it invalid.

Question :8

  • Statement :
  • It is reported that though Vitamin E present in fresh fruits and fresh vegetables is beneficial for human body, capsuled Vitamin E does not have same effect on human body.
  • Courses of action :
  • I : The sale of capsuled Vitamin E should be banned.
  • II : People should be encouraged to take fresh fruits and fresh vegetables to meet the body requirement of Vitamin E.

Answer: (d)

Only course of action II is suitable for pursuing.

Since capsuled Vitamin E has not any deleterious effect on human body, it is not proper to ban the sale of capsuled Vitamin E.

Question :9

  • Courses of action :
  • I : The municipal corporation has advised all the govt hospitals to store adequate supply of malaria drugs.

I will help in cure while II will help in prevention.

Question :10

  • Statement :
  • A large number of lower ranked politicians are murdered by anti-social elements in City A.
  • Courses of action :
  • I : All those in the city with criminal records should immediately be arrested.
  • II : The city police should keep a close vigil on the movements of anti-social elements so as to prevent future attacks.

Answer: (e)

Both courses of action are suitable for pursuing.

Do not get confused by the use of the term "all" in the first course of action.

Since, murder of a large number of people is not a usual event.

Therefore, course of action I is also suitable.
