Understanding the overarching message of a socio-economic text

Reading Comp.Economy / Society passageStatement-basedMedium

Question

Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:

1Internet is not inclusive enough.
2Internet can adversely affect the quality of politics in a country.

Options

a

1 only

b

2 only

c

Both 1 and 2

Answer
d

Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Assumption 1 is valid because the passage states that "not every voice... commands the same kind of audience" and that high capital buys disproportionate reach, meaning voice access is highly non-inclusive[cite: 1159, 1160]. Assumption 2 is explicitly valid as the text directly notes that if digital spaces focus only on election outshining, "then the quality of politics suffers". Both underlying premises are sound.

If the text connects structural inequalities directly to systematic political decay, assumptions validating both non-inclusivity and political risk are true.

Answer: (c).
