The 'ASEAN Way'

Exercise: EXERCISES | Q: 2 | (Page Page 14)
For More Understanding

Explanation

Option (b) is correct because the textbook explicitly states that 'ASEAN countries have celebrated what has become known as the "ASEAN Way", a form of interaction that is informal, non-confrontationist and cooperative.' This clearly defines the ASEAN Way as a method of interaction among member states that emphasizes informality and cooperation. Options (a), (c), and (d) are incorrect as they are not mentioned anywhere in the context - the ASEAN Way is not about lifestyle, defence policy, or any physical infrastructure like roads.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Read the definition of 'ASEAN Way' from the context - it is described as 'a form of interaction that is informal, non-confrontationist and cooperative'

  2. Step 2: Match this definition with the given options

  3. Step 3: Option (b) correctly captures 'a form of interaction' that is 'informal and cooperative'

  4. Step 4: Eliminate other options as they are not supported by the textbook context
