Find the incorrect statement from the following :
(1) Public policy may be either positive or negative in form.
(2) In positive form it may involve some government actions to solve particular problems.
(3) In negative form it may allow decisions by public servants to take action on some matter on which government order is sought.
Answer: C
The incorrect statement is (3).
Public policy can be positive or negative (1). In its positive form it involves some form of government action to deal with a problem (2). In its negative form, as James Anderson puts it, it is a decision by public officials not to take action on a matter on which government action is sought.
Statement 3 reverses this, describing the negative form as a decision to take action, so it is the incorrect one. Options naming (1) or (2) pick correct statements.
