Solution to Today's CSAT PYQ
Question 53: Answer is (d)
The passage explicitly states that opponents keep a leader "on the path of reason and good sense" and emphasizes that a balance of political power is needed to prevent the administration from becoming arbitrary.
โQuestion 54: Answer is (d)
โAssumption I is invalid
Because the text suggests that all statesmen especially "good" and "wise" ones need opponents to point out dangers, not just indifferent leaders.
โAssumption II is invalid
Because the author warns that the opposition should not become "revolutionary and irreconcilable," meaning unrestrained aggression is not the ideal state for governance.
