Assertion (A) and Reason (R) Pattern :
Assertion (A) : Good policies depend upon good government.
Reason (R) : 'Good government' rests on three pillars : honesty, democracy and competency.
Codes :
Answer: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct reason of (A), which is the official key.
(R) is a standard statement, usually credited to Nicholas Henry's public administration text: good government rests on the three pillars of honesty, democracy and competency. (A) says good policies depend on good government. Honest, accountable and competent government is what turns policy design into policy that is carried out well, so the pillars are offered as the reason policies depend on government quality.
Options B and C wrongly make a statement false. Option D accepts that both are true but denies that (R) explains (A); the key takes the pillars as the explanation. The tie between (R) and (A) is the key's reading rather than a stated proof.
