There is strong lobbying for privatization.
Why ?
Privatization will improve two things:-
1. Efficiency of workers
2. Eliminate the corruption.
Question Stem:-Argument against the proposal ie we need to weaken the argument that privatization won't improve the two things.
Pre-thinking:- We need something which will tell us-
1 The two expected things wont happen.
2. Or on the contrary Privatization will worsen the current situation.
Answer Choice Analysis:-
Choice A
Incorrect
Formulation of policies is not talked in the question stem. Also policies being acceptable / not acceptable is not our concern. Also what kind of policies? Policies regarding reducing corruption and improving efficiency of employees?
Nothing mentioned as such.
Choice B
Hold
Somewhat -In line with our pre-thinking
ie
Private companies will focus only on their profits . They wont focus on the two mentioned problems.
But will look for an answer choice that tells us specifically about the two mentioned points.
Choice C
Incorrect
Selling of shares is not our concern. Out of Scope.
Choice D
Incorrect
Feeling of competition among private companies is IRRELEVANT to us. Nothing to do with the two mentioned expectations.
Choice E
Incorrect
What to do if private companies close down some loss making companies ? How is this linked with the corruption and the efficiency of employees ???
Closing down loss making companies wont give us our required answer.
Hence Choice B is correct
