- 1. Identity crisis: 1938-47
- 2. Principles of administration: 1927-37
- 3. Era of challenge: 1948-70
- 4. Politics-Administration Dichotomy: 1887-1926
A1 and 2
B2 and 3
C2 and 4 ✓ Correct
D1 and 4
Correct answer: (C) 2 and 4 — Pairs 2 and 4 are correctly matched, so the answer is 2 and 4.
Explanation
★Pairs 2 and 4 are correctly matched, so the answer is 2 and 4.
★The era of the politics-administration dichotomy ran from 1887 to 1926.
★The era of the principles of administration ran from 1927 to 1937.
★Pair 1 is wrong, because the identity crisis phase belongs to 1948-70, not 1938-47.
★Pair 3 is wrong, because the era of challenge belongs to 1938-47, not 1948-70.
★So the periods of the era of challenge and the identity crisis have been swapped.
★These stages are drawn from Nicholas Henry's well-known paradigms of public administration.
