Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
1. For effective school education, parents have greater role than the governments.
2. School curriculum that conforms to today’s requirements and is uniform for the entire country may address the issues brought out.
Which of the assumptions given above is/are valid?
(a) 1 only · (b) 2 only · (c) Both 1 and 2 · (d) Neither 1 nor 2
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (d) न तो 1 और न ही 2
The passage describes a gap between what class 8 children can actually do and what they and their parents expect. It never compares the role of parents with that of governments, and it does not suggest a new, uniform national curriculum as the remedy.
- ✗ 1. Parents appear only as people who hold expectations for their children. The passage never weighs their role against the government’s.
- ✗ 2. Competencies fall short ‘even based on curricular expectations of class 8’, so the problem is weak learning against the existing curriculum, not the absence of a new or uniform one. A nationwide uniform curriculum is the reader’s idea, not the author’s premise.
Remember · An assumption must be needed by the author’s argument; a remedy the author never hints at is not an assumption.
