Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. A country cannot simply choose its party system; each country develops one shaped by its own circumstances. India's social diversity led it to adopt a multiparty system.

    1 mark

  2. India is geographically vast and diverse, so two or three parties cannot absorb this diversity.

    1 mark

  3. A multiparty system lets a variety of interests and opinions get political representation.

    1 mark

Answer: India's social and geographical diversity needs many parties so that varied interests are represented.

Where the marks are

  • The party system depends on the country's circumstances; social diversity (1 mark)
  • Geographical diversity is too large for two or three parties (1 mark)
  • Representation of varied interests (1 mark)
