ca leader must see that his country is free from despair
ddespair in a country sometimes leads to dictatorship
AnswerUPSC’s answer is (d).
The passage says that in a free country the leader is usually of outstanding character, and early signs make his rise foreseeable. For dictators this is not always true: they often reach power by chance or because of the country's unhappy condition. So despair in a country can sometimes lead to dictatorship. The other options misplace who foresees, where leaders are chosen, or what a leader must do, none of which is stated.
Why each option is right or wrong
(a) Others can foresee a leader's rise from his early qualities; the passage does not say the leader foresees his own position.
(b) Free countries usually produce able leaders, but the passage does not say leaders are chosen only there.
(c) What a leader must do for his country is not discussed.
(d) Correct: dictators often come to power through chance or the unhappy state of their country.
