Question
Which of the following best sums up the central idea of
the paragraph formed after rearrangement? Directions : A set of sentences is given, which when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Arrange the sentences in the correct sequence, and answer the questions. P. Thus, it is rational to assume that the carbon tax policy is likely to be met with a backlash if it gets adopted in Asian economies. Q. As some of the world's largest carbon emitters, the major emerging Asian economies have been under pressure in international climate change forums to adopt carbon pricing. R. Asian energy planners, however, are not likely to be encouraged by the experience of carbon tax legislation in a number of countries in the West which have been at the forefront of "decarbonizing". S. Many voters in the developed countries have become increasingly resentful of expensive climate change policies predicated on model-based projections of impending environmental catastrophe. T. There is no reason to believe that the average Asian citizen, generally poorer than his Western counterpart, will be any less opposed to policies which increase energy prices in his household budget.Solution
The paragraph discusses how Asian countries are under pressure to adopt a carbon tax policy to tackle climate change. It also states that a similar policy was met with protest in the West so it is likely that countries in Asia would also face a backlash. Thus, the central idea is that the road ahead for a carbon tax policy in Asia is fraught with challenges. A is incorrect. The title is generic and it does not highlight that the policy is bound to face challenges in Asia. B is incorrect. The passage does not discuss the merits and demerits of a carbon tax policy. D is incorrect. The passage does not focus on the attitude of Asian policy makers. E is incorrect. The passage does not talk about the role of Asia in the fight against climate change.
