Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct option is (D) : Liberty is an infrangible concept

Answer 2

The question asks which statement about liberty the passage does not support, so each option needs to be checked against the actual description of liberty in the text.

1. Option A: The passage opens by calling liberty "a precious constitutional value," so describing it as a precious constitutional right is consistent with the text.
2. Option B: The passage does not dwell on limits to liberty as a fundamental right in this excerpt; it focuses on liberty's fragility and the vigilance needed to protect it, so this statement is not directly contradicted, but neither is it the sharpest mismatch with the passage.
3. Option C: The passage says liberty "is as tenuous as tenuous can be," and tenuous means fragile or flimsy, so calling it a fragile concept matches the text exactly.
4. Option D: "Infrangible" means unbreakable or inviolable, which is the direct opposite of "tenuous." Since the passage describes liberty as maximally tenuous, calling it infrangible squarely contradicts the text.

Weighing the options against the passage's own description, the one that most directly reverses what the text says is the claim that liberty is infrangible, since the passage insists it is tenuous, not unbreakable.

Hence, the correct answer is Liberty is an infrangible concept.

Answer 3

The correct option is (C) : Media and Judiciary

Answer 4

This question asks which institutions the passage credits with keeping liberty alive.

1. Option A: The passage does mention "the cacophony of the media" as one factor, but naming media alone leaves out the other institution the passage credits in the same breath.
2. Option B: Similarly, "the dusty corridors of courts alive to the rule of law" names the judiciary, but citing the judiciary alone omits the media, which the passage lists in the same sentence.
3. Option C: The passage states liberty "survives by the vigilance of her citizens, on the cacophony of the media and in the dusty corridors of courts." Both the media and the courts (judiciary) are named as the settings in which liberty stays alive, so this option captures the passage completely.
4. Option D: The executive and legislature are not mentioned in this sentence at all; the passage's chosen institutions are the media and the judiciary, not the political branches.

Since the passage names both the media and the courts together as the places liberty survives, the answer must include both institutions rather than either alone.

Hence, the correct answer is Media and Judiciary.

Answer 5

The correct option is (C) : (I) is true and (II) is untrue.

Answer 6

This question requires checking each of the two statements against the passage independently before matching them to the answer options.

1. Option A (Both (I) and (II) are true): Statement (I) matches the passage, but statement (II) about a twenty-four-hour limit is never mentioned anywhere in the text, so both cannot be true together.
2. Option B (Both (I) and (II) are untrue): Statement (I) is directly supported by the passage's language about a citizen having to "establish prima facie that the instrumentality of the State is being weaponized," so calling it untrue is incorrect.
3. Option C (I is true and II is untrue): The passage says the court's doors "cannot be closed to a citizen who is able to establish prima facie" misuse of the criminal law, which matches statement (I) exactly. Statement (II)'s specific twenty-four-hour figure appears nowhere in the excerpt, making it an unsupported, and therefore untrue, claim.
4. Option D (II is true and I is untrue): This reverses the correct assessment; statement (I) is the one grounded in the text, while statement (II) is the fabricated detail.

Testing each statement separately against the passage shows the first is textually supported and the second is not, which corresponds to only one option.

Hence, the correct answer is (I) is true and (II) is untrue.

Answer 7

The correct option is (C) : Against arbitrariness and of right to life and personal liberty.

Answer 8

This question asks what constitutional guarantees fair investigation is said to be a component of.

1. Option A: The passage does link fair investigation to the guarantee against arbitrariness under Article 14, but stopping there ignores the second guarantee named in the same sentence.
2. Option B: Likewise, the passage ties fair investigation to the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21, but this alone leaves out the Article 14 guarantee mentioned together with it.
3. Option C: The passage states fair investigation "is an integral component of the guarantee against arbitrariness under Article 14 and of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21." Both guarantees are named together, so only the option combining them matches the text fully.
4. Option D: "Political justice" is not a phrase or concept the passage uses in connection with fair investigation; the guarantees named are specifically constitutional, tied to Articles 14 and 21.

Because the passage links fair investigation to both constitutional guarantees in a single sentence, neither guarantee alone is a complete answer.

Hence, the correct answer is Against arbitrariness and of right to life and personal liberty.

Answer 9

The correct option is (B) : Social interest

Answer 10

This question asks what kind of interest the passage attaches to ensuring fair investigation and lawful handling of crime.

1. Option A: "Legal interest" is a plausible-sounding label, but the passage's own word for this concern is different, and using a synonym the text does not actually use risks missing the precise term it employs.
2. Option B: The passage states fair investigation protects, "at a more fundamental level, the societal interest in ensuring that crime is investigated and dealt in accordance with law." "Societal interest" is simply another way of saying social interest, making this the option the passage directly supports.
3. Option C: Political interest is not mentioned in the passage in connection with fair investigation; the text's framing is about society at large, not political considerations.
4. Option D: Economic interest likewise has no basis in the passage, which frames the concern in social rather than economic terms.

The passage's explicit reference to "societal interest" leaves only the option using the closest matching term.

Hence, the correct answer is Social interest.

Answer 11

The correct option is (D) : Both (B) and (C)

Answer 12

This question asks what the Court emphasises for protecting liberty, and it requires checking whether one or more than one of the listed emphases is actually present in the passage.

1. Option A: The passage speaks of citizens' vigilance in general terms but does not frame "role of society" as a distinct emphasis the Court places on protecting liberty; the more specific emphases are institutional.
2. Option B: The passage states it is "the duty of courts across the spectrum-the district judiciary, the High Courts and the Supreme Court to ensure that the criminal law does not become a weapon for the selective harassment of citizens," which is a clear emphasis on the role of courts at every level.
3. Option C: The passage also states that courts "must be alive to the need to safeguard the public interest while ensuring that the due enforcement of criminal law is not obstructed," and separately warns against the "misuse of the criminal law," together describing exactly this balance.
4. Option D: Since both the emphasis on courts at every level and the emphasis on balancing enforcement against misuse are independently supported by the passage, the option combining both captures the Court's position more completely than either alone.

Because the passage supports both B and C as separate strands of the same underlying concern, neither alone fully answers the question.

Hence, the correct answer is Both (B) and (C).
