Question

The switchover of product subsidies to direct cash transfer to the poor would be a welcome shift because ______________________________.

• A. it would do away with the PDS
• B. it would simplify the process of helping the poor.
• C. it would sharply reduce poverty and also ensure fiscal correction
• D. it would enable the poor to buy things of their own requirement.

Answer 1

The correct option is C it would sharply reduce poverty and also ensure fiscal correction

Option C is the right answer because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - 'If implemented in five years as planned, this would be a welcome shift which would sharply reduce poverty and also ensure fiscal correction.'

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options A, B, and D are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.
