Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
CONCEPT
For a source-based factual question, identify the exact person, action, institutional role, and time marker. Similar-looking names must be separated by their stated functions; a participant group or assigned duty is not automatically the chaired body.
APPLICATION
The source passage says that during International Women’s Year in 1975, Aruna Asaf Ali was chairing a Steering Committee. It separately says that another member was placed in charge of publicity and that representatives of political parties and women’s organizations served on the committee. Therefore, the committee she chaired was the Steering Committee of Women’s International Year.
CONTRAST
Women’s International Year’s Committee is a generic name, not the exact body named in the passage.
A Committee of Publicity confuses a member’s publicity responsibility with the committee chaired by Aruna Asaf Ali.
Women’s Organizations were represented on the committee; they were not the committee’s title.
CROSS-CHECK
The role words align consistently: Aruna Asaf Ali—chairing; another member—publicity; political parties and women’s organizations—representation. This confirms the result without relying on an option position.
