Question

Statement: There is a significant increase in the number of patients affected by some disease in a city. Course of action:
I. Municipal Corporation of the city should take immediate action.
II. This problem should be raised in the UNESCO.
III. Hospitals in the city should be equipped properly for the treatment of the patients

• A. All follow
• B. I and III follow
• C. Only III follow
• D. I and II follow

Hint:

Evaluate each course of action based on its relevance, practicality, and the scope of authority. A local problem requires a local solution. Escalating a city-level disease outbreak to an international cultural organization like UNESCO is illogical.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The problem is a local public health crisis in a city. The response should be practical and at the appropriate level.
\[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{Course of Action I: The Municipal Corporation is the local civic body responsible for public health and sanitation. It is their duty to take immediate action (e.g., sanitation drives, awareness campaigns). This is a logical and appropriate action.} \\ \bullet & \text{Course of Action II: UNESCO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. It deals with international cooperation in these fields, not local disease outbreaks. Raising a city-level problem at UNESCO is impractical, out of scope, and not an immediate solution. This action does not follow.} \\ \bullet & \text{Course of Action III: Equipping hospitals properly to treat the affected patients is a direct and necessary step to manage the health crisis and care for the sick. This is a logical and essential action.} \\ \end{array}\] Since actions I and III are logical and appropriate, while II is not, the correct answer is that I and III follow.
