Question

A society can achieve a fair distribution of resources only under conditions of
economic growth. There can be no economic growth unless the society guarantees
equality of economic opportunity to all of its citizens. Equality of economic
opportunity cannot be guaranteed unless a society's government actively works to
bring it about.
If the statements given are true, it can be properly concluded from them that

• A. \( \text{No government can achieve fair resource distribution.} \)
• B. \( \text{All societies with equal opportunity distribute resources fairly.} \)
• C. \( \text{Fair distribution needs government effort for equal opportunity.} \)
• D. \( \text{No growth without fair resource distribution.} \)
• E. \( \text{Some growing societies lack equal opportunity.} \)

Hint:

Follow the logical chain of conditions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Statements: Fair distribution → Growth, Growth → Equal opportunity,
Equal opportunity → Government effort.
Step 2: Chain: Fair distribution → Government effort (transitivity).
Step 3: (C) restates this logical necessity.
Step 4: Others (A, B, D, E) misalign or reverse causality.
