Coinciding with World AIDS day tomorrow, the centre is going to announce an action plan for implementing the national blood policy announced in April this year. The policy was put in place to ensure safe blood transfusion, especially in the light of the HIV/AIDS scare. Apart from sexual intercourse and drug abuse, blood transfusion is one of the channels by which the infection spreads. A cornerstone of the action plan will be to ensure compulsory accreditation of all blood banks by the government.
Which of the following statements would be a logical continuation of the above passage?
A. AIDS patients across the world are faced with a bleak future and certain death.
B. The government proposes to collect tax from all the blood banks post-accreditation and utilise this for the welfare of people afflicted with AIDS.
C. This will ensure that all blood donors and the blood collected will be screened more effectively and bring more accountability into the operations of blood banks.
D. The present policy of the government is responsible for the soaring rates of infection among high risks groups in the country.
E. accreditation of all blood banks by the government will lead to more awareness among people.

Break Down Senteces:
Coinciding with World AIDS day tomorrow, the centre is going to announce an action plan for implementing the national blood policy announced in April this year.
It is a fact - states that the centre will announce an action for NBP.
The policy was put in place to ensure safe blood transfusion, especially in the light of the HIV/AIDS scare.
Fact 2: States the purpose of NBP and the need for NBP
Apart from sexual intercourse and drug abuse, blood transfusion is one of the channels by which the infection spreads.
Fact 3: Again need for NBP
A cornerstone of the action plan will be to ensure compulsory accreditation of all blood banks by the government.
Fact 4: Main-point of the Action plan.
So we have several facts about NBP, the need for it, the purpose and the major action plan. The question might ask for an inference.
Which of the following statements would be a logical continuation of the above passage?
Ok. The question asks for logical continuation.
The argument went like - NBP was announced in April, the centre is planning to put in an action plan for implementation of NBP and the cornerstone of the plan is compulsory accreditation of blood banks for eliminating one of the sources for HIV/AIDS - Blood Transfusion.
But how does the accreditation help ? The answer choice would probably tell us that.
A. AIDS patients across the world are faced with a bleak future and certain death. >> Irrelevant
B. The government proposes to collect tax from all the blood banks post-accreditation and utilise this for the welfare of people afflicted with AIDS.
>> Doesn't fill the gap and hence incorrect + How Govt wishes to spend the money is irrelevant.
C. This will ensure that all blood donors and the blood collected will be screened more effectively and bring more accountability into the operations of blood banks. >>> Close to our pre-thinking and the correct answer.
D. The present policy of the government is responsible for the soaring rates of infection among high risks groups in the country.
>> The present policy is out of scope.
E. accreditation of all blood banks by the government will lead to more awareness among people. >>Awareness about what and will awareness alone help reduce transmission?

Analysis:
We can start our analysis from the last sentence in the passage, the last line says "A cornerstone of the action plan will be to ensure compulsory accreditation of all blood banks by the government.".
This is a new information introduced in the last line and we do not have any other information about compulsary accreditation until now. So the first thing that comes to our mind after reading the last sentence is "why do we need the compulsary accreditation" , so we will look for answe choice that provides information related to accreditation.
A. AIDS patients across the world are faced with a bleak future and certain death. - INCORRECT
Though this may be correct, this statement is in wrong place and breaks the continuity of the author's direction.
B. The government proposes to collect tax from all the blood banks post-accreditation and utilise this for the welfare of people afflicted with AIDS.- INCORRECT
Again same as above, this may be right but government's plan to collect tax from accreditation cannot be the sole reason for making accreditation mandatory
C. This will ensure that all blood donors and the blood collected will be screened more effectively and bring more accountability into the operations of blood banks - CORRECT
This option correctly answers why accreditation was introduced in first place.
D. The present policy of the government is responsible for the soaring rates of infection among high risks groups in the country.- INCORRECT
This information is not related to accreditation and does not provide any logical continuous information to the readers.
E. accreditation of all blood banks by the government will lead to more awareness among people.- INCORRECT
This may be right , but the national blood policy is to ensure safe blood transfusion and that can be main reason government opted for accreditation
