| Read the following Two passages and answer the items that follow. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only. Passage-1 The maxim “the more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war” encapsulates a profound strategic and philosophical truth: rigorous preparation during times of tranquility mitigates suffering during conflict. Originating in military doctrine, its implications extend to governance, crisis management, and personal resilience. It advocates for proactive investment in training, infrastructure, and foresight rather than reactive improvisation. In essence, it critiques complacency and underscores the paradox that peace is not passive but demands disciplined effort. By emphasizing anticipatory action over retrospective response, the quote highlights a broader ethos- enduring security, whether national or individual, is forged in the crucible of foresight and diligence. Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made: 1. The principles of proactive investment and disciplined effort derived from military doctrine are universally applicable. 2. There is a clear causal link between the level of diligent preparation undertaken during tranquility and the severity of suffering experienced during conflict or crisis. 3. The natural state of human affairs, if left unattended during tranquility, tends towards disorder, vulnerability, or unpreparedness for future challenges. How many of the assumptions given above are valid? (a) Only one (b) Only two (c) All three (d) None |
