Question :
Directions : A situation/passage is given below. Read the passage/situation carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Laws, regulations, rules, and principles - whether civil, moral, commercial, athletic or some other sort - are by their nature general. They have to be, to effectively cover a large number and broad range of circumstances and cases. As the legal theorist H L A Hart explains in The Concept of Law (1961), no society could work if its members had to be separately and directly informed by some representative of the sovereign authority whether their actions were permitted or forbidden. You can't expect the holder of executive office to have to determine in every single case whether persons may or may not do what they intend to do.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
1. Under no circumstances, one should break or bend the rules/laws.
2. To preserve their generality and practicality, laws must be relatively simple and straightforward.
3. While laws are general, the human beings to whom they apply are particular.
4. The particularities and peculiarities, major or minor, that make for the variety of human behaviour are typically irrelevant when it is time to decide whether to enforce a law.
5. Other than these options.
