Question: 10

Statement :
In a highly centralised power structure, in which even senior cabinet ministers are prepared to reduce themselves to pathetic countries or yesmen airing views that are primarily intended to anticipate or reflect the Prime Minister own performances, there can be no place for any consensus that is quite different from real or contrived unanimity of opinion, expressed through a well orchestrated endorsement of the leader actions.

I. The Ministers play safe by not giving the anti-government views.

(A) if only conclusion I follows

(B) if only conclusion II follows
