Q:

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.


True, It is the function of the army to maintain law and order in abnormal times. But in normal times there is another force that compels citizens to obey the laws and to act with due regard to the rights of others. The force also protects the lives and the properties of law abiding men. Laws are made to secure the personal safety of its subjects and to prevent murder and crimes of violence. They are made to secure the property of the citizens against theft and damage to protect the rights of communities and castes to carry out their customs and ceremonies, so long as they do not conflict with the rights of others. Now the good citizen, of his own free will obey these laws and he takes care that everything he does is done with due regard to the rights and well-being of others. But the bad citizen is only restrained from breaking these laws by fear of the consequence of his actions. And the necessary steps to compel the bad citizen to act as a good citizen are taken by this force. The supreme control of law and order in a State is in the hands of a Minister who is responsible to the State Assembly and acts through the Inspector General of Police.


The last sentence of the passage implies that:-

A) The Inspector General of Police is the sole authority in matters of Law and order. B) In every state, maintenence of public peace is under the over all control of the responsible minister.
C) The State Assembly exercises direct authority in matters pertaining to law and order. D) The Inspector General of Police is responsible to the State Assembly for maintaining Law and order.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) The Inspector General of Police is responsible to the State Assembly for maintaining Law and order.
