उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) 2 और 3
The passage says sport teaches time management, teamwork and coordination, and that a culture of sport can build a healthier, happier society. It never blames parents; it only reports what parents say about their children.
- ✗ 1. Parents are only quoted as saying their children are inactive; nothing is said about parents failing to encourage sport.
- ✓ 2. 'From sport you can learn time management, fitness, teamwork, coordination, and so much more' — these are life skills.
- ✓ 3. The passage calls sport as a way of life 'a path to building a healthier, happier society', i.e., it can change the character of society.
Remember · Reported speech is not a judgement: 'parents say children are inactive' does not mean 'parents are not encouraging'.
