Question

According to the "Centre for Peace", what has increased over the years?

• A. National Power
• B. Close Communication ties
• C. Societal wars
• D. Freedom

Hint:

Notice decreased versus increased.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the question.
The question asks what has risen, according to the Centre named in the passage.

Step 2: Recall what the passage says.
The passage says that according to the Centre for Systemic Peace, conflict between national powers has decreased while societal wars have increased.

Step 3: Check option 1, National Power.
National power conflict is said to have decreased, not national power rising. So this is wrong. So option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option 2, Close Communication ties.
The passage says knowledge of others does not necessarily lead to better communication, so close ties are not said to increase. So option 2 is wrong.

Step 5: Check option 3, Societal wars.
Societal wars are named as having increased. This is right. So option 3 is right.

Step 6: Check option 4, Freedom.
Freedom is not said to have increased. The passage talks of limits on access to information. So option 4 is wrong.

Final Answer:
Societal wars have increased, so option 3 is the answer. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 3}} \]
