In Practice → VARC → Para Summary → Question 8: The word **"failed"** is not explicitly mentioned in the passage. While one could argue that the passage discusses the drawbacks of the urban renewal schemes, those drawbacks do not necessarily imply that the schemes **failed**. The passage describes negative consequences, but it does not explicitly state that the overall scheme was unsuccessful.

bro what you are saying is true that failed is not written in the question but option 2 is the only option that captures the essence of the whole summary and even if you eliminate all the options only option 2 is the viable answer to that particular question. everything wont be written in the summary you have to draw inference from the summary in this case the rise in crime is a direct indicator of how the policy failed miserably i know its not written but its logical if you infer it on this basis i think so :)
