Question: What is the basic requirement of the Scientific Outlook on Development?
A. Development
B. Comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable
C. People-oriented
D. Overall planning and all-round consideration
Your answer: C
Correct answer: B
Answer:
The correct answer is B. 全面协调可持续 (comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable).
Detailed Explanation:
The Scientific Outlook on Development (科学发展观) was formally established as the guiding ideology of the Communist Party of China at the 17th National Congress (2007). The Party’s official documents provide a clear, standard four-part summary of its main content:
-
First essential / core meaning / primary task (第一要义): 发展 (development)
→ Development is of overriding importance; everything must serve development. -
Core position / fundamental purpose (核心立场 / 核心): 以人为本 (putting people first / people-oriented)
→ This is the fundamental standpoint and value orientation of the Scientific Outlook on Development. -
Basic requirement (基本要求): 全面协调可持续 (comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable)
→ This is the explicit answer to the question. It describes how development should be carried out: comprehensively (not one-sided), coordinated (balanced among different aspects), and sustainable (environmentally and resource-wise long-term viable). -
Fundamental method (根本方法): 统筹兼顾 (overall planning and all-round consideration / making overall plans and taking all factors into consideration)
→ This refers to the practical method of implementation, i.e., properly handling major relationships through统筹兼顾.
This exact formulation appears repeatedly in official CPC documents, textbooks, and exam materials:
“科学发展观，第一要义是发展，核心是以人为本，基本要求是全面协调可持续，根本方法是统筹兼顾。”
Therefore:
- 以人为本 (C) is the core (核心), not the basic requirement.
- 全面协调可持续 (B) is clearly defined as the basic requirement (基本要求).
Your choice (C) confused the core standpoint with the basic requirement. They are two different components of the same concept.
