CAT/2004
Question . 58
Four alternative summaries are given below each text. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the text.
Local communities have often come in conflict with agents trying to exploit resources, at a faster pace, for an expanding commercial-industrial economy. More often than not, such agents of resource intensification are given preferential treatment by the state, through the gram and of generous long leases over mineral or fish stocks, for example, or the provision of raw material at an enormously subsidized price. With the injustice so compounded, local communities at the receiving end of this process have no recourse except direct action, resisting both the state and outside exploiters through a variety of protest techniques. These struggles might perhaps be seen as a manifestation of a new kind of class conflict.
Explanatory Answer

(c) is the most appropriate option. Option (a) doesn’t talk about the expanding commercial-industrial economy. (b) does not explain the effect of the struggles i.e. ‘a new conflict’, (d) is not correct as it talks specifically only of raw materials for expanding economy. Further it says local communities are creating new type of conflict, which is wrong.
