part A: VERBAL AND LOGICAL ABILITY
Analyse the subsequent passage and give an improper ans for the ques. nos. 1
through two that follow.
In Hume
s eyes productive labour was the greatest asset of a country, and foreign trade was
valuable because it enabled a nation to use more and more varied labour than would otherwise be
possible. But commerce was of mutual advantage to the nations involved, not a benefit to 1 and
injury to other. "The increase of riches and commerce in any 1 nation," added Hume, "instead
of hurting, commonly, promotes the riches and commerce of all its neighbours." "The emulation
in rival nations serves ... to keep industry alive in all of them."
1. The importance of foreign trade, in eyes of Hume, was due to that:
A. it allowed the employment of surplus labour in a nation.
B. it allowed the diversion of labour to export oriented industries.
C. it allowed the deeper specialisation of the identical labour force.
D. it allowed varied application of labour force in a nation.
E. it allowed application of varied labour force in a nation.
