Question 27 : The Arab Spring is widely believed to have stemmed from dissatisfaction with the rule of local governments, though some have speculated that wide gaps in income levels may have had a hand as well. Issues such as political corruption, human rights violations, unemployment, and educated but dissatisfied youth may have been responsible as well._____________________

1. Thus, youth unrest was the main reason for the Arab Spring
2. Some also cite the 2009-10 Iranian election protests as one of the reasons behind the Arab Spring
3. The Arab Spring was due to the wide gap between the haves and the have-nots
4. To sum up, the Arab Spring was a series of anti-government protests, uprisings, and armed rebellions across the Arab world

Explanatory Answer

Option D starts off as a summarizing statement, but does not talk about the income inequalities; further, there is the mention of 'armed rebellion', which has not been talked about explicitly in the passage. So, option D can be eliminated. Option A attributes Arab Spring to the youth unrest alone, which is incorrect. Hence, option A is eliminated, too. Between options B and C, option B provides a fourth dimension to the three viewpoints put forth in the passage already. The tone is consistent with the passage as well ("Some cite" goes well with "widely believed", "speculated" and "may have been responsible"). Hence, the right answer choice is option B.

The question is "The Arab Spring is widely believed to have stemmed from dissatisfaction with the rule of local governments, though some have speculated that wide gaps in income levels may have had a hand as well. Issues such as political corruption, human rights violations, unemployment, and educated but dissatisfied youth may have been responsible as well._____________________"

Hence, the answer is Some also cite the 2009-10 Iranian election protests as one of the reasons behind the Arab Spring

Choice B is the correct answer
