1. Which of the following best explains why oil prices may stay high even after fighting in West Asia reduces?
A. Because oil-producing countries always cut output after wars
B. Because shipping, insurance, refinery adjustments, and reserve rebuilding take time
C. Because India has stopped all imports from the Gulf
D. Because global oil demand permanently disappears after conflict
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: The report’s argument is structural rather than event-driven. Even if military hostilities ease, supply restoration is not immediate. Shipping contracts must be reset, insurance premia take time to normalize, damaged infrastructure may need months to assess, and countries that drew down strategic reserves may re-enter markets to replenish stocks. Hence market stress can outlive battlefield calm. This is a useful UPSC lesson: commodity markets respond not only to current events but also to restoration lags and expectations.

A. Electoral rolls can never be revised
B. Administrative omission does not permanently extinguish voting rights
C. Voting rights are a gift of the executive
D. Tribunals are unnecessary in election matters
Correct Answer: B
