5) Answer: C
Directions (6-8) :
6) Answer: A
7) Answer: B
8) Answer: E
Directions (9-10) :
9) Answer: B
Spreading a bad word about the restaurant may stop some people from going there but it is not an adequate solution for the problem. So, course of action I does not follow.
Since the owner and the food and sanitation inspector are involved in the fraud, it is essential that the inspector be fired and the restaurant owner be prohibited from continuing his business. Hence, course of action II follows.
Again spreading the information about the restaurant’s fraudulent activities will not ensure the change in hygiene management of the restaurant. So, it is an inefficient solution. Therefore, course of action III also does not follow.
Therefore, option b is the correct answer.
10) Answer: D
The demands of the protestors are not mentioned in the statement, therefore course of action I and II cannot be determined to be the actions for pursuing. Passing a law that will prohibit people from protesting is inappropriate because the public has the right to express their demand, it does not specify violent protests; therefore course of action III also does not follow. Hence, Option d is the correct answer.
