Directions to Solve

13.

Statement: Number of dropouts from the municipal schools has significantly increased after withdrawal of mid-day meal scheme.

Courses of Action:

  1. The government should reconsider its decision of withdrawal of midday meal scheme.
  2. The government should close down some of the municipal schools.
  3. The government should carry out a detailed study to find out the reasons for school dropouts.

None follows
Only I follows
Only I and III follow
Only II and III follow
All follow
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, the government ought to find out the reason behind the increase in number of dropouts, and also the extent to which the withdrawal of mid-day meal scheme is responsible for the same. So, both I and III follow. II appears to be vague.

Statement is clearly focused on dropouts due to mid-day meal withdrawal. Hence, the answer to it should be A only. Why should the government go on conducting surveys when they already know the impact of their decision.
