Which of the following assumptions could be drawn most appropriately from the clause in the first paragraph, "Pakistan’s Army and political leadership are on 'one page' to take dialogue with India forward"? (I) In Pakistan, to have a dialogue with India, there should be a consensus between Pakistan’s Army and Pakistan’s political leadership. (II) There is a paper of high strength present in Pakistan where Pakistan’s Army and Pakistan’s political leadership could stand together. (III) Pakistan’s political leadership could independently take forward dialogue with India.

1. Only (II) & (III)
2. Only (I)
3. Only (I) & (II)
4. All of (I), (II) and (III)

Correct answer: Only (I)

Solution

The phrase "on one page" means there is consensus between Pakistan's Army and political leadership. Statement (I) follows from this, while (II) is a literal misreading and (III) is not supported because the clause emphasizes joint agreement. Therefore, only (I) is valid.
