How does permanent executive assist political executive?

Correct answer: Through facts, advice, and implementation

Answer: A. The permanent executive consists mainly of career civil servants and officials who continue in administration even when elected governments change. They collect information, maintain records, provide expert administrative advice, prepare proposals, and help implement decisions made by the political executive. The political executive gives democratic direction and is accountable to the legislature and voters, while the permanent executive supplies continuity and administrative experience. B is wrong because officials do not form political parties as part of their administrative role. C is wrong because court judgments are written by judges, not civil servants acting as permanent executive. D is wrong because dissolving Parliament is not the ordinary administrative assistance provided by officials. Memory cue: political executive decides direction; permanent executive supplies knowledge, continuity, and implementation.
