Question

People don't criticise the government when it _______.

• A. increases electricity rates
• B. increases the number of government schools and colleges
• C. increases the price of vegetables
• D. increases the price of petrol

Answer 1

The correct option is B increases the number of government schools and colleges

People criticise the government when the policies and laws introduced by the government impact the people negatively. The government may introduce such measures to increase its revenues or to manage the country-wide prices of different things. For example: it may increase the prices of essential items such as food, fuel or vegetables, or increase the price of using public services such as electricity or water. Such measures lead to more expenditure of the people for the same types and amount of goods which they were buying before. This would lead to a substantial decrease in their savings, and thus cause them to protest against the government's moves. However, an increase in educational institutions such as schools and colleges will increase the intake of students, which will be praised by all the people.
