Critical Reasoning Mixed Practice - III
Current electricity distribution policy is systematic fleecing of customers. It increases price of power for customers who pay regularly and costs the tax payer billions every year.
Which of the following statements, if true, would provide support for the author’s claims above?
I. Power subsidies amount to roughly one percent of GDP a year in government payouts and higher price of power.
II. According to a study by the Power Ministry, each unit currency of benefits provided to the power producers for production costs customers and tax payers five units of currency.
III. On an average, each power producer has an average net worth of over one billion currency units.
Both statements I & II present evidence to prove that subsidy is being paid to power producers and it comes from the tax payers. Statement III merely gives the average net worth figure of power producers not saying anything about subsidies or tax payers at all. Hence option (4) is correct.
