Model Answer

(D) I, II and III

Statements I, II, and III are correct features of Belgium's power-sharing model. Statement IV is incorrect — Belgium adopted accommodative arrangements, not majoritarian measures.

Explanation

Statement IV is the false one. Majoritarian measures were adopted in Sri Lanka, not Belgium. Belgium did the opposite — it accommodated minorities through constitutional amendments. Examiners expect students to clearly identify which statement contradicts the passage.
