Multiple choice

Directions: Read the passage/argument and answer the question that follows it.

Ten years back, very few people had heard the term 'social entrepreneur'‌. Now, to be a social entrepreneur is to be chased by politicians and businessmen alike for your potential to solve big social challenges in innovative ways. Governments, struggling to meet societal demands, are desperate for help from someone more creative than the typical bureaucrat.

It logically follows from the above discussion that

  1. social entrepreneurs have multiplied in number over the past ten years

  2. overall, there has been more awareness about and appreciation of the role performed by social entrepreneurs

  3. governments are facing more societal problems than they did ten years ago

  4. the typical bureaucrat is an uncreative individual
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Options (1) and (3) do not find any support in the passage as no reference to the ideas therein has been made. Option (4) is slightly far-fetched as the passage only mentions the government’s pursuit of individuals with more creative solutions to social problems. Hence, it is ruled out. Option (5) goes overboard in saying that they are partnering the government, which is not supported by the passage. Hence, option (2) is the best possible answer.
