Q21. Which one of the following statements best reflects the most logical, rational and pragmatic message conveyed by the author of the passage?
Detailed Solution
The passage emphasizes that "Each State in India faces a distinctive set of challenges regarding the impact of warming, but also offers its own set of opportunities for reducing emissions depending on its natural resources." It provides examples like coastal states needing to protect shores, drier districts preparing for variable monsoons, and peninsular areas harnessing wind power. The conclusion states that "These various aspects need to be considered for developing clear and sustainable goals for the future." This collectively points to the necessity of tailored, region-specific strategies.
Option (a) is too strong, implying sole responsibility, which might overlook national coordination. Option (b) misinterprets diversity as a hindrance rather than a factor requiring differentiated approaches.
Option (c) contradicts the passage's focus on regional distinctions by advocating for centralized control. This question assesses the ability to synthesize information from a passage and identify the most logical and pragmatic conclusion or message, a core skill for UPSC CSAT.
