Sample questions

Q1Easy

A growing gap between a small number of ultra-rich and the very poor is an example of ____.

A.economic inequality✓ correct
B.political equality
C.social diversity
D.transparency
Why

The widening distance between the rich and the poor in terms of income and wealth is economic inequality, a challenge democracies struggle to address.

Q2Medium

A democratic government may be slower in taking decisions than a dictatorship. From a democratic standpoint, why is this often considered acceptable?

A.Because slow decisions are always better decisions
B.Because citizens prefer governments that do nothing
C.Because delay is needed to consult and follow proper procedures, making decisions more acceptable and effective✓ correct
D.Because courts force governments to delay every decision
Why

Democratic delay reflects deliberation and following due procedure, which makes decisions more legitimate and easier to implement, even if it sacrifices some speed.

Q3Hard

Assertion (A): Democratic governments are likely to be more accountable than non-democratic ones. Reason (R): Democracy follows norms and procedures and holds regular, free and fair elections in which citizens can change their rulers. Choose the correct option.

A.A is true but R is false
B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A✓ correct
D.A is false but R is true
Why

Accountability flows directly from procedural norms and the threat of being voted out, so R correctly explains why democracies are more accountable.
