Transcript:

If you're like most parents, you remember sending your kindergartener off to school with a backpack bigger than they were. While your child may be able to shoulder it, students are now weighed down more than ever by these cumbersome packs. Which is why, say experts, more kids than ever before are complaining about back and neck pain. With school starting up again, a likely reason for the complaints is the heavy load they're carrying (and we're not talking about classes), with everything from textbooks to laptops to musical instruments crammed inside. Consider this: "The federal Consumer Product Safety Commission calculated that carrying a 12-pound backpack to and from school and lifting it 10 times a day for an entire school year puts a cumulative load on youngsters' bodies of 21,600 pounds," the New York Times reported, "or the equivalent of six mid-sized cars."

Option 2: "The Main reason of the back pain is the load with everything from textbooks to laptop to musical instruments crammed inside."

Explanation: This option accurately summarizes the text by identifying the heavy load of various items, including textbooks, laptops, and musical instruments, as the main reason for back pain. It aligns with the text's main idea and supports the thesis that students are burdened by their backpacks.

Option 1: "According to Experts the main reason of having back pain and neck pain is the load because of the classes."

Explanation: This option incorrectly attributes the cause of back and neck pain solely to the load from classes. The text specifies that the pain is due to the heavy load of various items, not just class-related materials. Therefore, it presents contradictory information.

Option 3: "According to Experts back pain is because of not doing exercise properly and not being physically active and study only."

Explanation: This option introduces a new cause for back pain that is not mentioned in the text. The text focuses on the physical burden of heavy backpacks rather than lack of exercise, making this option irrelevant and based on partial information.

Option 4: "Back pain is caused due to improper sleeping position, too heavy pillow and bending down too frequently."

Explanation: This option presents causes of back pain that are not discussed in the text. The text specifically attributes back pain to the weight of backpacks, not to sleeping positions or bending, which makes this option an example of contradictory information.
