Question

Education matters a great deal, but information plays a

separate and equally important part in making democracy work more effectively in diverse contexts. The state enacts law after law-there is a plethora of pro-poor legislation in India-but the state does not make the effort to inform citizens about the law’s provisions. ……………………………………………………………. Misdeeds go unreported, because the public does not know how misdeeds are legally defined and practically detected. In each of these questions, a paragraph is given that has blank in it. Five sentences (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) are suggested. Out of these, only one fits the blank in the context of the paragraph. Pick that sentence as the answer.

A The level to which a person is educated matters for these outcomes.

B Decentralization too is made more effective by information provision.

C The protections, opportunities and benefits of democracy are not availed of by many because they lack the requisite information.

D Different examples attest to the beneficial association that exists between information and decentralization.
