Question and options
Direction: Read the following passage and answer the question.
The constitution of India is very well written. It not only defines the need for fundamental human rights but also ensures that we do not abuse these laws. The access to justice is one such law but in the present political scenario, this right like other such rights has been hidden from the marginalized section of the society. As a result, we can say that for such classes of the society, there is no such thing as a constitution.
The given paragraph says what about the Indian constitution?
The constitution of India is very well written. It not only defines the need for fundamental human rights but also ensures that we do not abuse these laws. The access to justice is one such law but in the present political scenario, this right like other such rights has been hidden from the marginalized section of the society. As a result, we can say that for such classes of the society, there is no such thing as a constitution.
The given paragraph says what about the Indian constitution?
- It defines rights but does not prevent their abuse
- Could be better
- It ensures everyone has basic rights
- The marginalized sections of the society don’t enjoy the rights guaranteed by the constitution
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - The marginalized sections of the society don’t enjoy the rights guaranteed by the constitution
The passage's point is that rights such as access to justice are hidden from the marginalized, so for them there is effectively no constitution. 'It defines rights but does not prevent their abuse' is contradicted (the constitution ensures rights are not abused), 'Could be better' is not stated, and 'It ensures everyone has basic rights' is contradicted for marginalized groups.
