    Explanation

    The passage discusses the role of the press in supporting just causes, criticizing the government in a healthy manner, and protecting the rights of workers and suppressed sections of society. It emphasizes the importance of a balanced view in helping the formation of healthy public opinion. Here's the analysis of the options based on the passage:

    1. Option A - press has a great role to play in a democracy:
      • The passage emphasizes the important role of the press in supporting righteous causes, criticizing the government, and protecting the rights of the workers and suppressed sections of society. This suggests the press plays a crucial role in democracy by helping form a healthy public opinion.
      • This option is strongly supported by the passage.
    2. Option B - the press is the only means to project to the masses the policies of the government:
      • The passage does not claim that the press is the only means to project government policies. It focuses more on the press?s role in supporting just causes, criticizing the government, and helping form public opinion, rather than being the only channel for government communication.
      • This option is not supported by the passage.
    3. Option C - the freedom of press is essential for the proper functioning of democracy:
      • While the passage emphasizes the role of the press in supporting justice and forming public opinion, it does not directly mention the freedom of the press as essential. However, the idea is implied in the sense that the press must be able to function without fear or restriction to fulfill its duties effectively.
      • This option is implied but not explicitly supported by the passage.
    4. Option D - the press can be used by the governments as an effective media for the upliftment of the backward sections of society:
      • The passage suggests that the press should protect the rights of backward and suppressed sections, but it does not mention that the government should use the press for this purpose. The press is described as independent and should provide balanced views, rather than acting as a tool for government action.
      • This option is not supported by the passage.
    5. Option E - all the information given by the press should be well-articulated so as to gain a good opinion towards the ruling party:
      • The passage advocates for the press to provide a balanced view, not necessarily to gain a good opinion towards the ruling party. It emphasizes that the press should be vigilant and help form healthy public opinion, but not in a biased or one-sided manner.
      • This option is not supported by the passage.
    6. Final Answer:
      • The best supported statement by the passage is A. press has a great role to play in a democracy.
