Question

A- Communication is indeed an essential part of politics.

Answer 1

Hint: Logical Sequence of statements forms the part of reasoning ability. A statement is a message that is stated or declared; a communication (oral or written) setting forth particulars or facts etc.

Complete answer:
Let us analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'Politicians seem to have forgotten that voters decide the issue in an election, not government or opposition parties', is not relevant to sentence A or even C.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as it does not seem to fit in the sequence.

Option (b.), ‘They would do well to put their ear to the ground and be aware of what the voters want', refers to ‘they’ which cannot be used as there is no previous reference to any people in the previous sentence.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect.

Option (c.), ‘But can politics be packaged and sold like toothpaste?', refers to communication which plays a big role in the market economy as well as media.
Therefore, option (c.) is correct as politics being marketed is being talked about, and it thus implies good communication.

Option (d.), ‘Though comparisons are inevitable, dissimilarities too are undeniable', is incorrect as there is no direct reference to politics.

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the students to understand what politics is. It refers to social relations involving intrigue to gain authority or power; the profession devoted to governing and to political affairs; and the activities and affairs involved in managing a state or a government.
