Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Democracy has its flaws but it is considered the best form of government presently available because
1)      The government is accountable to the people who elected it.
2)      Decision-making in a democracy is comprehensive and, thus, leaves little scope for the mistake.
3)      It can deal with differences and conflicts by allowing representatives from diverse backgrounds to be represented in the government. There are no permanent losers or winners as the government may change with every election.
4)      It enhances the dignity of the country's citizens by granting every citizen a politically equal status irrespective of caste, class, creed, educational qualification, gender, etc.
5)      There is always room for correction of mistakes. If a decision is detrimental to the people's interest, either the government alters its decision, or the people may change the government through the democratic means of voting.
