Practice Reading: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #2874 School Buildings
Instructions ›
Read the text and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.
It is shocking to note that the majority of our schools do not even have the buildings. The classes are taken under the trees. These schools cannot afford the luxury of games. Sports activities are nonexistent as the schools and colleges do not have infrastructure to give students the proper training. The hockey stick is present but the ball absent; the football is in front of us but without air. Sports generate sportsman spirit in the child, the ability to take decisions according to the situations and to struggle in situations that do not favour them.

Option 3: "School education often fails to cover an important aspect of child education."

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the author's opinion as it encapsulates the main idea of the text. The author highlights the absence of sports and games in schools, indicating that this lack is a significant failure in the educational system. The phrase 'important aspect of child education' aligns with the author's concern about the role of sports in developing essential life skills.

Option 1: "Sports and games generate a feeling of competition in the child and strengthen it."

Explanation: This option misrepresents the author's focus. While it mentions competition, the text emphasizes the lack of sports infrastructure and the absence of sports activities in schools. The author's main concern is not about competition but rather about the deficiencies in the educational system regarding sports.

Option 2: "The schools lack sports infrastructure."

Explanation: Although this statement is true, it does not capture the broader opinion of the author. The text discusses not only the lack of infrastructure but also the implications of this deficiency on child development and education. Therefore, this option is too narrow and does not summarize the author's overall opinion.

Option 4: "The school curriculum need to be revisited to include sports as an important subject."

Explanation: While this option suggests a solution, it does not accurately summarize the author's opinion. The text does not explicitly call for a revision of the curriculum but rather points out the existing failures in providing sports education. Thus, it presents a solution rather than a summary of the author's expressed concerns.
