The word 'theory', derived from the Greek word 'Theoria' means

  • A.A well organized political system
  • B.A well focused mental look
  • C.A well articulated economic structure
  • D.A system of physical arrangement

Answer: B

The word theory comes from the Greek theoria, which means a well focused mental look: contemplation or a considered way of seeing something. In political thought a theory is therefore a reasoned view of how political life is or ought to be.

A well organised political system, a well articulated economic structure and a system of physical arrangement are all wrong, because each names a thing in the world and not the act of looking at it that the Greek word expresses.
