    C. Source-Based Questions
    Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
    “The people elect the government on the basis of the promises made by the leaders prior to elections. Thus, it becomes
    the responsibility of the leaders to fulfil the promises after winning the elections and forming the government. One of the
    most important functions of the government is to ensure that public facilities are provided to all its citizens without any
    discrimination. For example, running an anti-malaria or anti-polio campaign or keeping the drains clean or providing cheap
    transport facilities to the people is the responsibility of the government. One interesting fact is that only the government
    can provide such facilities as these are all non-profitable. No private company will be interested in providing facilities at
    cheap rates or free of cost in the interest of the public.”
