Green technology passage - Assumptions
Question
With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made :
- 1.
Path-dependent green investments will eventually most likely benefit growth as well as public finances in a country like India.
- 2.
If other green technologies follow the same pattern as that of solar energy, there will most likely be an easy green transition.
Options
I only
II only
Both I and II
Neither I nor II
Explanation
Statement I introduces specific variables—"public finances" and "a country like India"—that are completely outside the passage's generalized economic scope. Statement II assumes that a replicated pattern guarantees an "easy" transition. The passage only notes that moving early avoids "much disruption," which does not guarantee an objectively "easy" process. Both statements introduce prescriptive or overly optimistic terms not backed by the text.
Answer: (d).
