Practice Questions for CLAT 2027 Logical Reasoning

The practice questions given below are based on the two passages from the CLAT question papers.

Passage 1

The post-truth era is, expectedly, marked by a discernible erosion of public trust in sources of information. Mass media - both traditional and new-age avatars - have borne the brunt of this mistrust. And for good reasons too. Social media, its most popular platform, is a harbinger of falsity. It is thus encouraging to see that at least the old guard of the media ecosystem - the newspaper - continues to defy this discouraging trend. A pan-India survey of media consumption by Lokniti found that print media remains the most trusted source of information. The finding is consistent with the heartening surge in public endorsement of the reliability of newspapers since the pandemic. An earlier survey, which attempted to examine the impact of the lockdown on 'reading patterns', had found that the number of readers who used to spend over an hour on newspapers every day had risen to 38 %, up from 16 % in the pre-lockdown period. The increased trust in newspapers is because the lockdowns coincided with the dissemination of the crudest kinds of misinformation about the pandemic in India and around the world, and newspapers played a pivotal role in exposing these lies. But that is where the good news ends - for the print media, at least. Among other things, the data collated by the survey found deepening footprints of social media in rural and urban constituencies, while television continues to dominate the screen. These developments are consistent with global trends that reveal that the newspaper industry is struggling to contain the migration of readers and revenue to other formats, especially digital media. Ironically, the pandemic, which saw a resurgence in collective trust in newspapers, adversely affected the print media as traditional advertisers, reeling under the economic fallouts of COVID-19, cut back on advertisements. But the crisis in print precedes the pandemic. Newspapers have been outpaced by speedier, but also spurious, sources of information. The dominance of the image over text as a cultural phenomenon is another formidable challenge. The print media's hopes of remaining competitive and profitable must, therefore, centre on using this collective trust as a form of capital. Survival strategies, especially the revenue model, must be re-explored and the emphasis shifted to in-depth analyses of news as well as eye-catching layouts now that newspapers are slower to reach news to the audience. 

Q1. Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with?

Option 1: The COVID-19 pandemic was an unmitigated disaster for the newspaper industry.

Option 2: The COVID-19 pandemic had negative as well as positive effects on the newspaper industry. 

Option 3: The COVID-19 pandemic only had good effects on the newspaper industry. 

Option 4: The COVID-19 pandemic did not affect the newspaper industry at all. 

Answer: The COVID-19 pandemic had negative as well as positive effects on the newspaper industry.

Q2. Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author's arguments?

Option 1: Social media is a reliable source of true and accurate news and information. 

Option 2: Social media is a highly unreliable source of news and information and should not be trusted. 

Option 3: Social media is a good way for people to stay connected with each other. 

Option 4: Social media is a faster source of information than newspapers. 

Answer: Social media is a reliable source of true and accurate news and information.

Q3. Which of the following would be an effective way of making print media more competitive?

Option 1: Slowing down the process of print media production. 

Option 2: Using more expensive printing methods that achieve better print quality, even if it results in newspapers becoming more expensive. 

Option 3: Only publishing newspapers on alternate days. 

Option 4: Developing ways of ensuring that print media can reach readers more speedily.

Answer: Developing ways of ensuring that print media can reach readers more speedily.

Q4. Based on the author's arguments, which of the following, if true, would have resulted in the weakening, rather than deepening, of public trust in newspapers since the pandemic?

Option 1: Newspapers were very careful in ensuring they reported accurate and true news during the lockdowns. 

Option 2: Newspapers played a leading role in exposing lies and misinformation spread during the lockdown. 

Option 3: Newspapers actively disseminated misinformation during the lockdowns and made no efforts to expose lies spread by others. 

Option 4: Newspapers alerted the public to the fact that a number of sources were spreading crude forms of misinformation during the pandemic. 

Answer: Newspapers actively disseminated misinformation during the lockdowns and made no efforts to expose lies spread by others.

Q5. What would be the impact on the readership and revenues of the print media if the image were not dominant over text as a cultural phenomenon?

Option 1: Print media would not suffer as much of a reduction in readership and revenue as readers shifted to other formats. 

Option 2: Print media would suffer a greater reduction in readership and revenue as readers shifted to other formats. 

Option 3: There would be no impact on the readership and revenues of the print industry. 

Option 4: There would be an increased demand from readers that newspapers carry more images and less text. 

Answer: Print media would not suffer as much of a reduction in readership and revenue as readers shifted to other formats.

Q6. How does the author suggest newspapers can overcome the problem of being outpaced by speedier sources of information?

Option 1: They offer direct means by which newspapers can become faster to publish and deliver to readers. 

Option 2: They encourage a complete and immediate shift to digital media as a way of ensuring newspapers are not outpaced by other sources of information. 

Option 3: They offer ways to reduce production costs, which would offset the losses caused by readers shifting allegiance to faster sources of information. 

Option 4: They offer alternative means for newspapers to become competitive and profitable, but do not solve the problem of how newspapers can become faster sources of information.  

Answer: They offer alternative means for newspapers to become competitive and profitable, but do not solve the problem of how newspapers can become faster sources of information.

Passage 2

In this moment, the developed countries — I point to them, because these countries have already burnt massive amounts of carbon dioxide for energy to build their economies — are faced with a real energy conundrum. On the one hand, developed countries are battered because of a fast-heating planet; temperatures have gone through the roof; droughts and extreme weather events are hitting them as well. On the other hand, ordinary people in these countries are worried, not just because of climate change but because of the lack of energy to heat their homes this coming winter. In the US, gas prices went up in summer, so much so that people travelled less and consumption of fuel dropped. But now prices are down, and it is business as usual. The fact is that this energy disruption has provided the much-needed boost to the beleaguered fossil fuel industry. Governments are asking this industry to supply more. Europe has baptised natural gas, a fossil fuel less polluting than coal but still a major emitter of carbon dioxide, as “clean”. The US has passed a climate bill, which will invest in renewable energy but is conditional on increased spending on oil and gas and the opening up of millions of hectares of federal land for drilling. Through this bill, the US will do more than ever before to build a manufacturing base for renewable energy, particularly solar. Europe, even in this desperate scramble for gas, is working to ramp up its investment in renewable power. So, it is the worst of times. It could be the best of times, but there are some caveats. One, this renewed interest in fossil fuels must remain temporary and transient. Given the nature of economies, once the investment has been made in this new infrastructure or the supply of fossil fuels has increased from new oil and gas discoveries, it will be difficult to wean off. Two, these countries should not be entitled to more use of fossil fuels in our world of shrunk carbon budgets. They need to reduce emissions drastically and leave whatever little carbon budget space that is remaining to poorer countries to use, thereby satisfying such poorer countries’ demands. [Extracted, with edits and revisions, from “New energy conundrum”, by Sunita Narain, DownToEarth] 

Q1. Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with?

Option 1: People in the US are not worried at all about climate change. 

Option 2: People in the US are worried about climate change, and these concerns affect their energy consumption habits more than anything else. 

Option 3: Climate change has resulted in an increase in energy prices across the world, and as a result, governments have had to invest in finding newer sources of renewable energy. 

Option 4: Changes in the energy consumption habits of people in the US are affected more by energy prices than concerns about climate change.

Answer: Changes in the energy consumption habits of people in the US are affected more by energy prices than concerns about climate change.

Q2. Which of the following is most similar to the author’s statements about developed countries’ renewed interest in fossil fuels?

Option 1: Developed countries should not, under any circumstances, invest any resources in fossil fuel energy extraction, and must immediately put a halt to all fossil fuel consumption.

Option 2: Things could improve if developed countries recognise the difficulty of moving away from reliance on such sources of energy and make a conscious effort to move to alternative or renewable energy sources quickly. 

Option 3: Since investments in energy extraction of any kind are very expensive, developed countries must ensure that they make permanent and continuing investments in fossil fuels. 

Option 4: Developing countries must not, under any circumstances, consume fossil fuels, and leave whatever carbon budget space is remaining to richer countries to use. 

Answer: Things could improve if developed countries recognise the difficulty of moving away from reliance on such sources of energy and make a conscious effort to move to alternative or renewable energy sources quickly.

Q3. If the information in the passage above is correct, which of the following must necessarily be true?

Option 1: The fossil fuel industry in developing countries will face reduced sales in the short term, with increased sales in the long term.

Option 2: The cost of making, installing, and using solar panels will reduce substantially in the coming years. 

Option 3: Passing a bill in the US is a huge effort, and it would not have been possible to pass the new climate bill unless the current energy crisis had compelled 

Option 4: The fossil fuel industry in developing countries will see an increase in business, at least in the short term. 

Answer: The fossil fuel industry in developing countries will see an increase in business, at least in the short term

Q4. Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author’s argument about why travel and fuel consumption in the US reduced in summer?

Option 1: People like to travel regardless of season, and the only thing that would prevent them from travelling at any time of the year would be high costs. 

Option 2: Airlines raised ticket prices as a response to an increase in fuel prices, and therefore, fewer people were able to buy air tickets to travel. 

Option 3: Strict lockdowns were imposed in the US in summer, because of which people travelled less; further, temperatures were moderate, and this meant people had to use less fuel to heat or warm their homes. 

Option 4: Widespread geopolitical tensions in the first half of the year meant that fuel prices were at an all-time high in summer; but prices have now eased off somewhat, making fuel slightly more affordable in the US.

Answer: Strict lockdowns were imposed in the US in summer, because of which people travelled less; further, temperatures were moderate, and this meant people had to use less fuel to heat or warm their homes.

Q5. Which of the following, if true, would resolve the ‘conundrum’ the author says developed countries face now?

Option 1: The development of adequate renewable power sources in the near term that would lead to a reduction in consumption of fossil fuels. 

Option 2: Finding new sources of fossil fuels that will ensure there is no shortage of energy to heat homes in the winter. 

Option 3: Switching immediately to renewable power sources, even if it leads to a shortage in energy supply for people. 

Option 4: Providing adequate aid to poorer countries so that they can develop renewable power sources for their use. 

Answer: The development of adequate renewable power sources in the near term that would lead to a reduction in consumption of fossil fuels

Q6. Assuming the aim of the US climate bill is to reduce fossil fuel consumption, which of the following would be the strongest argument that it will fail to achieve such an aim?

Option 1: The bill promotes investments in renewable energy but does not provide for enough increase in investments in developing more sources of fossil fuel-powered energy. 

Option 2: The bill is written in technical language, which ordinary people cannot easily understand. 

Option 3: The bill is self-defeating, since it makes investments in renewable energy conditional on more expenditure on oil and gas and making millions of hectares of federal land available for drilling, which would lead to an increased consumption of fossil fuels. 

Option 4: The bill does not provide any means of increasing carbon budgets, thereby making more room for fossil fuel consumption. 

Answer: The bill is self-defeating, since it makes investments in renewable energy conditional on more expenditure on oil and gas and makes millions of hectares of federal land available for drilling, which would lead to an increased consumption of fossil fuels.
