The Commission made the Bill effective by

Concept

A detail question on an unseen passage asks what the passage itself states, not what is generally true of the subject. The answer must be the relation the passage explicitly draws between the agent named in the stem and the means asked about; any option that introduces an agent, an action or a condition the passage never states falls outside its scope.

Applying it to this passage

1. The stem names the Commission and asks for the means recorded in its Report, so the material to read is the second paragraph, where that Report is described.

2. That paragraph says the Commission, in its Report, dealt with the application of the Right to Information in the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary.

3. It then singles out one of those organs: the Judiciary could be a pioneer in implementing the Act in letter and spirit, because much of the work the Judiciary does is already open to public scrutiny.

4. It backs that with a concrete measure - an e-governance project of about ₹ 700 crores sanctioned for the Judiciary, which would bring systematic classification, standardization and categorization of records and so help the Judiciary fulfil its mandate under the Act.

5. The means the passage attributes to the Report is therefore the recognition of the Judiciary as the pioneer implementer of the Act in letter and spirit.

Checking the other options against the passage

• "extending power to the executive authorities" - the passage names the Executive only as one of the three organs in which the Report discusses the application of the Right to Information; it records no transfer or extension of power to executive authorities.

• "combining the executive and legislative power" - the passage keeps Executive, Legislature and Judiciary as three separate organs of State that share the responsibility for the move to transparency; no merging of their powers is stated.

• "educating the people before its implementation" - the passage speaks of citizens arming themselves with the power that knowledge gives and of capacity building in public authorities, but sets no prior public-education step as the means recorded in the Report.

So the option that paraphrases the passage's own sentence - recognizing the Judiciary as a pioneer in implementing the Act in letter and spirit - is the answer.
