1.   Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out
     of the four alternatives:
     Civil and political rights and socio-economic rights do not exist in. a state of
     antagonism. The conditions necessary for realising or fulfilling socio-economic rights
     do not postulate the subversion of political freedom. The reason for this is simple.
     Socio-economic entitlements must yield true benefits to those for whom they are
     intended. This can. be achieved by eliminating rent-seeking behaviour and by
     preventing the capture of social welfare benefits by persons who are not entitled to
     them. Capture of social welfare benefits can be obviated only when political systems
     are transparent and when there is a free flow of information. Opacity ensures benefit
     to those who monopolize scarce economic resources. On the other hand, conditions
     where civil and political freedoms flourish ensure that governmental policies are
     subject to critique and assessment. It is this scrutiny which sub-serves the purpose of
     ensuring that socio-economic benefits actually permeate to the underprivileged for
     whom they are meant. Conditions of freedom and a vibrant assertion of civil and
     political rights promote a constant review of the justness of socio-economic
     programmes and of their effectiveness in addressing deprivation and want. Scrutiny of
     public affairs is founded upon the existence of freedom. Hence civil and political rights
     and socio-economic rights are complementary and not mutually exclusive.
