Question : Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the question.
Another feature of the post-Cold War era is that since the West has become the victor of the East-West ideological rivalry, Western systems and Western influences, in general, have started to dominate the whole world. For example, the United States has visibly enhanced its influence in the Middle East and in the Caucasus since the end of the Cold War. The invasion of Kuwait by Iraq in August 1990 and the following Gulf Crisis, in a way, created an opportunity for the United States to exercise its hegemonic power in the Middle East. In the following years, in the absence of a counterpower, the influence of the United States increased further. With the military operation in Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the United States perpetuated its dominance in the region. The region of the Caucasus was formerly under the Russian sphere of influence. But the United States managed to enter this energy-rich region with some new allies that used to be part of the Soviet Union, such as Azerbaijan, Ukraine, and Georgia. Although Russia certainly did not want the United States' presence in the region, its ability to prevent it has remained limited. Likewise, NATO expanded to include Eastern Europe, a region that also used to be under Soviet influence. Russia, in the beginning, tried to resist NATO expansion, posing several threats, including creating a counter defence organisation. But it was eventually convinced by the project of "partnership for peace," through which it preserved many of its privileges in Eastern European countries.

Question:
Which of the following statements is correct on the basis of the given passage?

Option 1: Russia has visibly enhanced its influence in the Middle East and in Caucasus since the end of the Cold War.

Option 2: Russia certainly wanted the United States presence in the Caucasus region.

Option 3: East has become the victor of the East-West ideological rivalry post the cold war.

Option 4: Western systems and Western influences, in general, started to dominate the whole world after the cold war.

Correct Answer: Western systems and Western influences, in general, started to dominate the whole world after the cold war.

Solution : The fourth option is correct.

The passage discusses the post-Cold War era, highlighting that since the end of the Cold War, the West (represented by Western systems and influences) has become dominant globally. The passage mentions the visible enhancement of the United States' influence in the Middle East and Caucasus during this period.

The other statements are not supported by the information provided in the passage.
