Paper 1 · Comprehension
Passage
The concept of creative society refers to the phase of development of a society, in which a large number of potential contradictions become articulate and active. This is most evident when oppressed social groups are politically mobilized and demand their rights. The upsurge of peasants and tribes, the movements for regional autonomy and self-determination, the environmental movements, and the women's movements in the developing countries are signs of the emergence of a creative society in contemporary times. The forms of social movements and their intensity may vary from country to country and from place to place within a country, but the very presence of movements for social transformation in various spheres of a society indicates the emergence of a creative society in a country.
According to the passage, what are the manifestations of social movements? Select the correct answer using the codes given below.
- Being aggressive
- Involvement of the whole society
- A quest for social equality and individual freedom
AOnly 1 and 2
BOnly 3 ✓ Correct
COnly 2 and 3
D1, 2 and 3
Correct answer: (B) Only 3 — The only manifestation supported by the passage is statement 3, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The only manifestation supported by the passage is statement 3, so that is the answer.
★The whole passage points to a quest for social equality and individual freedom through movements.
★So statement three fits the demand for rights that runs through the passage.
★Statement one is wrong, since social movements need not be aggressive.
★Statement two is wrong, since the groups are mobilized internally and demand their rights, not the whole society at once.
★So only statement 3 is a manifestation of social movements.
