Question

Read the passage and answer the question given below.

It must be realized to make compulsory education a success, it is absolutely necessary to make it entirely free. India is a poor country and we cannot expect our people to pay directly for the education of their children. Even in rich countries like England and U.S.A. mas education is not only free but there are many additional facilities like mid-day meal for children, free medical service, and scholarship on a generous scale. Since education is a fundamental civil and human right and basic to the health of the body politics, funds must be found for the purpose whatever the cost of the scheme. If we consider educational and cultural activities to be important, funds will be forthcoming. What we have to do is to rearrange our priority. With this in view, we have to adopt a many-sided programme of national planning and economic and industrial reconstruction. If not there will always be arguments and statistics to prove that it is impossible to introduce free, compulsory and universal education in India.

Why should compulsory education be free in India?

• A. Otherwise compulsory education will not be a success.
• B. Funds will be forthcoming.
• C. Industrial construction is possible.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Otherwise compulsory education will not be a success.

Option A is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the begining of the passage that - 'It must be realized to make compulsory education a success, it is absolutely necessary to make it entirely free.'

There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options B, and C are the right answers.

Hence, these are incorrect.

Option D is incorrect because the right answer is Option A.
