Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: D

The British Prime Minister does not recommend the appointment of the First Lord of the Treasury, because the Prime Minister himself holds that office.

The Prime Minister does advise the Crown on appointments such as the Lord Chief Justice, the Archbishops of the Church of England and Privy Counsellors. The keyed option is the one that is not a recommendation, since the post is held by the Prime Minister himself.

The Prime Minister is also First Lord of the Treasury, so he cannot recommend himself, whereas the other posts are filled on his advice to the Crown.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: D

The Citizen's Charter in the United Kingdom lists principles that include standards, information and openness, choice and consultation, courtesy and helpfulness, and value for money, so all five printed items are correct.

The charter in its original form also had a principle on putting things right when they go wrong, but among the five items printed all belong to it. The shorter options leave out one or more of these listed principles.

The Charter was launched in 1991 under John Major, and its principles were meant to give citizens clear standards of public services and a way to complain.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: B

The statement that development administration is concerned with maximising innovation for development was made by Edward Weidner, who also gave the definition of development administration as the administration of planned change.

Riggs wrote on prismatic society, Saul Katz on the administration of development and B.B. Schaffer on the sociological aspects, so the quoted sentence belongs to Weidner.

Weidner's usage links the concept to purposeful change, so innovation is the central test of whether an administration serves development.
