Instructions: The following question has a statement and three courses of action with respect to it. Considering the statement to be true, decide which of the given course of action is logical.
Statement: The weather bureau has forecasted heavy rainfall during the next week, which may cause waterlogging in several parts of the city.
Course of action:
I. The bulletin should be given wide publicity through the mass media.
II. The civic authority should prepare in advance the pumping system for the removal of water from these parts.
III. The people should be advised to stay indoors during the period.
Solution
The course of action suggested in I might not be relevant since the issue is specific to certain parts of the city, and publishing such information widely without any addendums, such as a safety advisory or a travel restriction notice, would do little to help with our cause. III resolves this issue - we offer specific advice to people, asking them to stay indoors during the period, which should help avoid any casualties due to the expected waterlogging. Similarly, II directly address the issue of waterlogging. Therefore, both II and III are relevant courses of action.Â
