Which of these is NOT a weakness of the one-party system?
AIt lacked checks and balances on government
BIt discouraged alternative opinions
CIt operated without any opposition parties
DIt promoted unity by minimising conflicts
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. It promoted unity by minimising conflicts
1. The question asks for the odd one out: three weaknesses and one strength.
2. Lacking checks and balances, discouraging alternative opinions and operating without opposition are all criticisms of one-party rule.
3. Promoting national unity by minimising conflict is instead an advantage claimed for the system.
4. So that is the option which is not a weakness.
5. Candidates who read the question as asking for a weakness picked one of the other three, which the report records as the main error here.
