Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
An institutional acronym is expanded by matching each letter, in order, to the official words in the body’s formal name. The expansion must also agree with the institution’s stated purpose.
Application
UGC created a consortium concerned with academic and research ethics, especially the quality and integrity of research journals. Matching the initials gives C = Consortium, A = Academic, R = Research, and E = Ethics.
Contrast
“Commission for Academic and Research Ethics” uses Commission for C, but the UGC body is named a consortium.
“Centre for Academic Research and Ethics” substitutes Centre and changes the grouping of “and”.
“Computer-Aided Research and Education” expands the initials into unrelated technology-and-education terms.
Result
Therefore, CARE stands for “Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics”.
