Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the question by selecting all the correct responses. You will need to select more than one response.
Newborn babies, infants, toddlers, children, and teenagers visit a common health platform, that is pediatrics departments. Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the diseases and health monitoring of children. Basically, a child, till he becomes an adult, has several physical, mental, emotional and social challenges to deal with; and pediatricians help children live a normal childhood free from ailments or diseases. Environmental surroundings and other extrinsic and intrinsic factors may affect a child in such a way that he/she might need medical attention. Pediatrics departments are further divided into many subspecialties, so that experts can treat each vital system separately, using a broad-spectrum method. Politically speaking, the acceptance of the fact that every child deserves the basic rights and needs, led to the universal foundation of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child by the United Nations, in the year 1959.

Option 2: "Not all doctors specialize in every child’s organs; there are separate departments for all vital systems."

Explanation: This option is correct as the text states that pediatrics departments are divided into many subspecialties to treat each vital system separately. This aligns with the idea that not all doctors specialize in every aspect of child health, confirming the statement.

Option 1: "There is a wing of medical science dedicated to the holistic development of people before they reach adulthood."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text specifically discusses pediatrics as a branch of medicine focused on children and their health until adulthood, but it does not mention a holistic approach or development in a broad sense. The emphasis is on treating diseases and health monitoring rather than a comprehensive developmental perspective.

Option 3: "Neonatal facilities are much more available in cities than in hospitals in rural areas."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not provide any information regarding the availability of neonatal facilities in cities versus rural areas. Therefore, this statement cannot be substantiated by the text.

Option 4: "The Declaration of the Rights of the Child declares free medical attention to children all over the world."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text mentions the Declaration of the Rights of the Child but does not state that it guarantees free medical attention. The declaration focuses on the basic rights and needs of children, which does not explicitly include free medical care.

Option 5: "The United Nations has been proactively working towards making the world free from illness."

Explanation: This option is correct because the text implies that the United Nations, through the Declaration of the Rights of the Child, is advocating for children's rights, which includes health. While it does not explicitly state 'free from illness,' the proactive stance towards children's health is evident.
