Statement: Should all the annual examinations up to Std. V be abolished?
Arguments:
- Yes. The young students should not be burdened with such examinations which hampers their natural growth.
- No. The students will not study seriously as they will get automatic promotion to the next class and this will affect them in future.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, neither the students can be burdened with studies at such a tender age, nor can they be left free to take studies casually, as this shall weaken their basic foundation. So, both the arguments follow.

Exams should conduct but children should not be burdened with excessive study. In their tender age parents should not expect them too much. They must devote time to find their own interest and to make career in their selective interest.

Exams are not the only way to flourish natural growth and therefore should not be considered as a strong argument.

I don't believe that Statement 1 follows since it is fairly vague in stating that natural growth will be hampered (which is unjustified and clearly did not hamper our natural growth when we were younger). Statement 2 is still strong as it justifies itself by giving a good reason.

I think 2nd argument is correct. A new born baby we can say a complete white paper. What we write on them that is the future of them. So parents and school teachers have to take the responsibility for the students to familiar with the annual exam. Because there is no filter in small children so they absorb things very quickly.
If they don't give annual exam for 5 years and suddenly in 6th standard they give annual exam that takes more pressure to them. So the school authorities have to apply less percentage pass marks and checking the copies lightly and ensure that all students pass their standards so that they are acquainted with the exam which helps them in future.

I think option b is correct because no child will study till 5th std. And if this happens he/she would face problems in future.

B should be the answer.
B should be the answer.
