In each of the following questions, a contextually meaningful sentence has been given. Three paragraphs have been placed next to each sentence, which may or may not be relevant to the context of the given sentence. You are required to select the most appropriate combination of paragraphs from which the given sentence can be inferred.
The reasonable path is to enable both economic output and rapid health response, as evidenced by the rate of infection spread.
(i) His address to the nation, delivered amid a roaring storm of viral outbreaks, was intended to reinforce the message about the commitment of the government to reversing economic decline and expanding healthcare services.
(ii) To be clear, the fact that this was formerly the case does not imply that government control of educational institutions must presently be maintained. However, the circumstances that existed at the time the government passed its first endowment statute have not changed significantly.
(iii) Regulatory reform proponents often point to the state's attitude to other activities. However, an examination of the associated laws reveals that the government also has significant supervisory responsibility for the management of educational properties.
Correct Answer :
Only (i)
Solution :
To determine the correct combination of paragraphs from which the given sentence can be inferred, let us analyze the sentence and the paragraphs step-by-step:
Given Sentence: "The reasonable path is to enable both economic output and rapid health response, as evidenced by the rate of infection spread."
This sentence highlights a dual focus:
1. Supporting economic output (or reversing economic decline).
2. Implementing a rapid health response (healthcare services) in response to infection spread (viral outbreaks).
Analyzing Paragraph (i):
"His address to the nation, delivered amid a roaring storm of viral outbreaks, was intended to reinforce the message about the commitment of the government to reversing economic decline and expanding healthcare services."
- The phrase "roaring storm of viral outbreaks" directly corresponds to the sentence's context of the "rate of infection spread".
- The commitment to "reversing economic decline" matches the goal of enabling "economic output".
- The commitment to "expanding healthcare services" aligns with enabling a "rapid health response".
Therefore, the given sentence can be directly and logically inferred from the context and themes of Paragraph (i).
Analyzing Paragraph (ii):
"To be clear, the fact that this was formerly the case does not imply that government control of educational institutions must presently be maintained..."
- This paragraph discusses government control of educational institutions and endowment statutes. It contains no connection to economic output, viral outbreaks, or health responses. Thus, the given sentence cannot be inferred from it.
Analyzing Paragraph (iii):
"Regulatory reform proponents often point to the state's attitude to other activities. However, an examination of the associated laws reveals that the government also has significant supervisory responsibility for the management of educational properties."
- This paragraph focuses on regulatory reform and supervisory responsibility for the management of educational properties. It does not relate to economic recovery or public health response. Thus, the given sentence cannot be inferred from it.
Conclusion:
Only paragraph (i) provides the context of managing economic decline alongside a health response to viral outbreaks. Therefore, the given sentence can be inferred only from (i).
