Q14. 14. Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made :
1. Internet is not inclusive enough.
2. Internet can adversely affect the quality of policies in a country. Which of the assumptions given above is/are valid?
Detailed Solution
Both assumptions are valid based on the passage. Assumption 1 is supported by the statement, 'When anonymous private entities with high capital can pay for more space for their opinions, they are effectively buying a louder voice.' This implies that access to a significant audience on the internet is not equal and is influenced by financial power, making it not inclusive enough.
Assumption 2 is supported by the line, 'If political discourse in the digital sphere is a matter of outshining one's opponent till the election is won, then the quality of politics suffers.' This directly suggests that the nature of internet-based political discourse can negatively impact the quality of politics, and by extension, the quality of policies in a country. This question tests the ability to identify underlying premises or implications within the passage.
