A manufacturing plant struggles with custom-fitting slightly varied components. Applying which inventor’s key principle solves this issue?

Eli Whitney is credited with developing and promoting this manufacturing system in the United States, which requires all parts to be nearly identical and meet strict tolerances. This standardization eliminates the need for manual fitting, enables efficient mass production, and simplifies repairs. The assembly line (Ford) is a technique for movement/speed, and the laboratory model (Edison) is a method for organized R&D, neither addresses the core component uniformity problem.

What is the primary societal consequence of Pakistan’s *biradari* system on its democratic structure?
💡 Explanation:The *biradari* (kinship/clan) system is a deeply ingrained traditional social structure in Pakistan that significantly influences the political process. It often determines electoral alliances, candidate selection, and voting patterns, leading to the consolidation of kinship-based politics rather than politics based purely on political ideology or policy platforms. This mechanism reinforces local power structures and patronage networks, which can challenge the ideal functioning of a modern democratic structure.
