Discussion

Explanation:

(a) is the correct answer choice.
In paragraph 3, the passage defines ‘legal development’ as ‘the promotion of the technical legal values of consistency, clarity and effectiveness. And these values were achieved in the WTO through (a) consistency: integrating under one roof the agreements signed under GATT.
(b) Clarity: removing ambiguities about the powers of constructing parties to make certain decisions.

(c) Effectiveness: eliminating grandfather rights exceptions and defects in dispute settlement
procedure.

Option (a) only covers how the value of consistency was achieved, option (c) relates to the value of effectiveness, but omits the word ‘eliminating’ and option (d) relates to the value of clarity, but omits the word ‘removing’. This omissions render these options incomplete, and hence disqualifies them as possible correct answers. Thus, option (a) ‘partly’ (as in the question stem) answers the question how technical legal values were promoted in the WTO.

Option (b) is an observation, not a step.
