Logical Reasoning Question 6
Question; Direction; Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
We can say that conduct in public life is more rigorously scrutinized now than it was in the past, that the morals which the public demands remain high and that the great majority of people in public life meet those high standards. But there are weaknesses in the procedures for maintaining and enforcing those standards. As a result, the people in public life are not always as clear as they should be about where the boundaries of acceptable conduct lie. However, it is possible to scrutinize that the recent political scandals are not the sole cause of the drop in the public’s trust of politicians. There is the perceived lack of difference in the major political parties after the general election in 1990, which contributed to lower voter turnout and general apathy. The experts argue that contemporary society expects that politics be free from sharp ideological division and adversarial conflicts. What is the positive argument for the result of differences in the major political parties?
Options:
A) The differences are the root of adversarial conflicts

C) Political scandals have brought these differences
