Q:

In the question given below, a statement is given followed by three courses of action. A course of action is taken for improvement, follow up, etc. Read the statement carefully and give your answer accordingly.

Statement: The appearance of China-made globes that show Jammu and Kashmir not a part of India has alarmed the Indian diaspora in Canada.

Courses of Actions:

I. The Indian diaspora should lodge a complaint against the manufacturers for giving out inaccurate information.

II. The Chinese government should issue an official apology to the Indians.

III. The Canadian people should altogether stop buying Chinese made products.

A) Only course of action I follows B) Only course of action II follows
C) Both I and II follow D) Both II and III follow
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Only course of action I follows

Explanation:

Only course of action I follows. The Indians, or as a matter of fact anyone else, can lodge a complaint against the manufacturers for the inaccurate information. Courses of action II and III do not follow as both of them are rather extreme steps. It does not make sense for the Chinese government to issue an apology for a mistake committed by a Chinese manufacturer. Similarly, expecting the Canadian people to stop buying Chinese products simply because one manufacturer from China gave out incorrect information is not a feasible course of action.
