With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
I. Higher education is a constantly evolving subject that needs to align towards new developments in all spheres of society.
II. In our country, sufficient funds are not allocated for promoting higher education.
Which of the above assumptions is/are valid?
(a) I only · (b) II only · (c) Both I and II · (d) Neither I nor II
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (a) केवल I
The author asks higher education to change because the demands of society and the future of work are changing, so I is taken for granted. Funds for higher education are never discussed, so II is not.
- ✓ I The author says 'the new demands of society and the future of work' require a different kind of learning, and that teaching must be re-invented. This takes for granted that higher education has to keep adapting to changes in society.
- ✗ II Money is never mentioned. The problem the passage identifies is the method of teaching — learning for the examination — not a shortage of funds.
Remember · An assumption must connect to the author's reasons; a new cause such as funding, absent from the passage, is invalid.
