Passage: (as in Q80). Who, according to the author, is more corrupted ?
General EnglishReading comprehension
- AOur system
- BThe person who demands bribe
- CThe affluent who exploits the weakness of the poor
- DThe supporter of bribe who is left with little choice
Explanation
The author says it is 'the affluent that grease this wheel of corruption' — the moneyed who exploit the weakness of the poor to get illegal favours. Corruption is thus located in the affluent bribe-giver rather than in the system abstractly, the taker, or the helpless supporter. Hence option C.
