In this section we will explain the rationale for choosing the answer pertaining to every question. The argument above rests on which of the following assumptions:Ī) The rural population is growing at an increasing rate.ī) The urban population is growing at a decreasing rate.Ĭ) The rural population is migrating to urban areas for job opportunities.ĭ) The urban population is migrating to rural areas for growth prospects. The country’s urban population contributes over 60 per cent of India’s GDP in 15 years this will be 70 per cent. Cities are engines of growth, and as a result attract a lot of people. The proportion of the urban population can only go in one direction - upward - as more Indians migrate to the cities and towns in search of jobs. This problem will only worsen with little or no intervention happening. A shade less than a third of India’s population now lives in urban areas, overcrowded cities and towns with infrastructure bursting at the seams.

Which of the following, if true, will most weaken the above argument?Ī) Some teenagers could not break away from the habit of drug addiction in fear of offending their seniors.ī) Habit of drug addiction begins under pressure.Ĭ) Teenagers are influenced to choose drugs by slightly older people to make them join the gang.ĭ) Teenagers willingly choose drugs for pleasure.ġ0.

Even if in the initial stages, those youngsters who have been induced to start taking drugs do not find it pleasurable, they are unwilling to break away lest they offend seniors. Drug addiction, like other habits such as smoking and drinking, almost always begins under peer pressure with teenagers being influenced by those of their high school and college colleagues who are only slightly older to join the “gang” and become adults, so to say.
