Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Concept

In literal reading comprehension, an answer must be based on an idea explicitly stated or directly paraphrased in the passage.

The key test is textual alignment: identify the phrase naming the cause, then match the outcome attached to it without adding an outside inference.

Application

The passage calls technology a vital input for people-oriented action and then states that technological imperatives can lift people to a new life—a life to which they are entitled. This directly expresses improvement in people’s living conditions and dignity.

Contrast

  • “Unbridled technological growth” adds the idea of growth without restraint, which the passage does not present as the outcome.

  • “Importing plant machinery” is described as an insufficient basis for India’s long-term success, not as the advantage produced by technological inputs.

  • “Sidelining environmental issues” conflicts with the passage’s warning that insufficient technological impetus can waste natural resources.

Cross-check

Replacing the option with the passage’s own wording preserves the meaning: technological imperatives lift people to a new life to which they are entitled.

Result

Therefore, the supported result is lifting our people to a life of dignity.
