Which of the following is NOT a reason that the writer gives for desiring equality in a democracy ?

  • A.It makes people equal as far as possible at the very start of the race.
  • B.It ensures that the preexisting social equations continue.
  • C.Statesmen deal with large numbers of people who are too vast to classify and assort.
  • D.Statesmen require a practical plan of action to proceed in politics.

Answer: B

The statement that is not a reason given is 'It ensures that the preexisting social equations continue.'

The writer wants equality to correct the unequal start that birth and wealth give, so keeping existing social arrangements is the opposite of his argument. The other three are reasons he gives: making people equal as far as possible at the very start of the race, so that society gets the most out of its members; that a statesman deals with vast numbers of people whom it is impossible to classify and assort; and that politics is a severely practical affair that needs a practical plan.

In a NOT question the three reasons actually stated are the wrong choices here, and the one that contradicts the passage is the answer.
