Model Answer

(C) The majority must work with the minority so government represents the general view.

Source: Accommodation of social diversity, Chapter 5

Explanation

The passage explicitly states that "the majority always needs to work with the minority so that governments function to represent the general view" as a necessary condition for democracy to accommodate social diversity. Options A, B, and D contradict democratic principles — they describe majoritarian rule or suppression of diversity, which the text warns against using the Sri Lanka example.
