Which is/are correctly matched (political culture as per Almond and Verba and country)?
- 1. Homogeneous culture: UK
- 2. Elite-mass culture: India
- 3. Parochial culture: China
- 4. Subject political culture: Uganda
A1, 2, 3 and 4
B1, 2 and 4
C1 and 2 ✓ Correct
D2 and 3
Correct answer: (C) 1 and 2 — Pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1 and 2.
Explanation
★Pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1 and 2.
★The UK is taken as an example of a relatively homogeneous political culture.
★India is cited as an elite-mass political culture, with a gap between the politically active elite and the masses.
★Pair 3 is wrong, because the parochial culture example is Uganda, not China.
★Pair 4 is wrong, because the subject political culture example is China, not Uganda.
★So the country labels in pairs 3 and 4 have been swapped between China and Uganda.
★A parochial culture shows little political awareness, while a subject culture obeys but stays passive.
