Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021
"When in doubt, observe and ask questions. When certain, observe at length and ask many more questions."
Created this thread as a one stop solution for all members so that all the doubts wherein any conceptual clarification is required can be solved here.
Biryani,
D?
I did (d). Vajiram and drishti had (a) as an answer. I don't know why?
Prima facie, even I would have gone for (d). But if I re-read the last sentence properly, I can see that they have mentioned two roles for a state. A)To abstain from bla bla blah and B) Regarding private players..
Now if I look at these two(which one will get only after reading and re-reading very properly), then I will go with option 1 and 2..
I wonder what Upsc has mentioned in its own answer key though. Because only then will we be able to know whether. We need to read sentences on the face value , or should we read between the lines..
What is the upsc answer?

The reason I didn't go for A is because of the word 'institution.' There is no mention of institution or anything in the paragraph. If they had said 'mechanism' I might have gone for A. I would still go with D unless of course UPSC says its A

Availability of security? Role of state? Will all this not require 'some institutions'for enforcement? Since some valid assumptions have to be made, should we not read the passage in entirety rather than looking for specific words?

I have two things to say :
1. The last paragraph was about right to expression where it says that state should in iteself not prevent freedom of expression and second was not allow private parties to do so as well. - Now if we follow the same analogy, where does the idea of state participitation is there? I think there is no idea for that and b would be the only one right.
2. @sjernal was right? Do we have to look so closely at each of the paragraphs? This would then be ridiculous!

If yes please provide with the link ( as I could not get it)and if there is no such , then could you please compile it for us . It would be much helpful.

Though there is an option of deleting paragraphs and then taking a printout of 9 pm brief, it is time consuming.
