Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.

During the Indo Pakistan War of 1947, the Pakistan government issued licenses to bandits (armed robbers) who were allowed to plunder Indian areas.

Which of the following, if true, is a drawback to the Pakistani tribesman's proposal?

  1. Modern smugglers are much dangerous than the common Indian people.

  2. Although the Pakistani Constitution still authorizes the licensing of bandits, no licenses have been issued for over 50 years.

  3. Modern bandits would be unable to finance their operations by selling the seized goods without being in violation of the law.

  4. The 1947 bandits looted goods that belonged to citizens of another country.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Modern bandits would be unable to finance their operations by selling the seized goods without being in violation of the law because the goods are illegal as they are being smuggled and therefore cannot be legally sold. Also, since the goods are pirated, they cannot be sold legally.
