1) Read carefully the passage below and asnwer the questions that follow:
Most institutions depend for their effectiveness on the performance of other institutions. The Indian experience is replete
with examples of institutions failing because one critical link in their ties with other institutions was found to be deficient.
The deficiency of one institution cannot be removed by focusing only on that institution. One of the weaknesses of attempts
at reforming institutions has been the lack of attention to the external links of these institutions (to other institutions).
Indeed, this is the point at which the conflict between institutions is most palpable and institutional politics becomes a
significant obstacle. Analytically, there are three different approaches to this problem. One approach is analogous to a chain
being as strong as its weakest link...A different insight comes from multiple veto points inherent in multiple
institutions...Finally, systemic effects depend considerably on coordinating mechanisms.
Which one among the following statements represents the argument made in the paragprah most appropriately?[Question ID

1) Read carefully the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
Social phenomena are complex...virtually all everyday events show causal complexity...human understanding of causation
and of events in general is fundamentally holistic. Parts are not viewed in isolation but in context of the whole they
form...causal complexity, of the multiple conjunctural kind is when an outcome results from several different combinations
of conditions.

In the passage above, when theorists claim that the complexity of social phenomena is because of conjunctural causation,
they are referring to:
[Question ID = 20257][Question Description = Ph.D.POLH_Q_017]
