Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B Joining hands with other political parties to pressurise the leadership
C Difference of opinions on policies
D Sharing the common goal inside the party

The Congress party was divided into smaller groups inside the party with diverse interests and positions. At times, the groups within the party joined hands with other political parties to pressurise the leadership. Though these groups differed on some policies, they shared a common goal inside the party. This worked as an inbuilt corrective mechanism in the Congress party and hence, was deemed as the Congress system.
