Rosemary Sarri lists out the following activities of social welfare administration, which does not include :

  • A.Translation of social mandates into operational policies and goals
  • B.Design of organisational structures and processes through which the goals can be achieved
  • C.Helping those who cannot help themselves
  • D.Selection and engineering of the necessary technology

Answer: C

The key is C: 'helping those who cannot help themselves' is not on the list of administrative activities.

Rosemary Sarri's list describes administration as a set of functions: turning social mandates into operating policies and goals (A), designing organisational structures and processes to reach them (B), and choosing and engineering the technology needed (D). Each is a task of managing a service.

'Helping those who cannot help themselves' (C) states the purpose of social welfare itself, not an administrative task, so it is the one that is left out. The list is quoted from a textbook and I could not trace the original wording, so this is the reading that matches the key.
