Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-I (Concept)	LIST-II (Explanation)
A. Prejudice	I. Individuals are cut off from full involvment in a wider society.
B. Stratification	II. Disqualifying members of one group from the opportunities that are open to others.
C. Exclusion	III. Pre-conceived opinions or attitudes held by members of one group towards another
D. Discrimination	IV. A hierarchical arrangements of groups and communities in a society

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
• B. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• C. A-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Hint:

Prejudice is an attitude and stratification is a ranked order. Use these two pairs to eliminate options.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Method:
We pair each term with its meaning by first picking the pairs we are sure about, and then using those pairs to rule out the options one by one.

Step 2: Pair the sure ones:
Prejudice is about attitudes and opinions formed in advance, so it pairs with III. Stratification is about the ranking of groups in a society, so it pairs with IV.

Step 3: Rule out options:
Option 1 has A with I, which does not fit the first sure pair. Option 2 has B with I, which does not fit the second sure pair. Option 3 has A with IV, which also breaks the first pair. Only option 4 keeps A-III and B-IV.

Step 4: Confirm the rest:
In option 4 the last two pairs are C-I and D-II. Exclusion means being cut off from full part in society, which is I. Discrimination means shutting a group out of opportunities others have, which is II. Both pairs fit well.

Step 5: Why the other pairings fail:
Pairing prejudice with exclusion would mix up an attitude with a condition of being cut off. Pairing stratification with the idea of disqualifying people mixes up a ranked order with an action. Keeping attitudes, ranking, cut-off condition and unequal treatment apart is the safest way to avoid these traps.

Final Answer:
The full matching is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II. \[\boxed{4}\]
