Discussion
Following are a few assumptions based on the above passage:
1. The only way to ensure true diversity is by imposing strict quotas on under-represented groups while implementing D & I programmes.
2. D & I programmes should focus on representation without considering the needs of diverse individuals.
3. D & I initiatives are inherently unethical because they prioritize inclusivity over performance.
4. Balancing the need for positive action with a merit-based system can contribute towards implementation of D & I in true spirit.
Which of the above assumption/s is/are valid?
Answer: D
Only assumption 4 is valid.
The passage says ethical dilemmas arise when balancing affirmative action with the principle of meritocracy, so balancing positive action with a merit-based system is the way to implement D & I in true spirit.
Assumption 1 is too absolute: the passage never says strict quotas are the only way. Assumption 2 contradicts the passage, which warns that programmes must go beyond representation and address the unique needs of groups. Assumption 3 is too strong: the passage names ethical issues, not that D & I is inherently unethical.
