  • Question 1

    Which one is the most visible and representative institution in a democracy ?
    Solution
    Political parties are easily one of the most visible institutions in a democracy. For most ordinary citizens, democracy is equal to political parties.

But chances are that they would know something about our political parties. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the groups do not have mass appeal among the majority of the less educated citizens, hence incorrect.
