Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key
Analyze the question: The question asks when politics is "practically demonstrated," meaning when it is put into action, in a way people can see.
Concept: Politics is the struggle for power, and the use of that power, to decide who gets what, when and how in a society. Its most visible form is the competition for public office. That competition shows up when parties and candidates:
- present their programmes to the public,
- mobilise supporters,
- persuade voters, and
- contest for power.
Evaluating the options:
- A. Electioneering campaigns: This is where politics is acted out in public. Candidates and parties canvass for votes, hold rallies, make promises and compete for power. This is practical politics.
- B. Parliamentary debates: These are part of the legislative process. They involve politics, but they are mainly law-making and deliberation, not the general public demonstration of political activity.
- C. Formation of political parties: This is an organisational step. It is preparation for politics, not the action itself.
- D. Inter-party consultative meetings: These are private or closed-door discussions. They are not a public demonstration.
Answer: The best choice is A. electioneering campaigns.
Tip: In Government questions, "practically demonstrated" or "put into action" usually points to the most visible, public activity. Here that is campaigns and elections, not the background activities like party formation or meetings.
