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.

Each student must be assessed by various skills such as listening speaking reading writing life skill physical fitness leadership qualities helping sharing skills etc. . So I agree option E.

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.

Abolishing is not the only remedy for reducing burden, so I feel option A is vague and option B should be the answer not both.

How could yes and no answers (which contradicts each other) be both correct ? should not it be the case for using "either".

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

Option C should be correct because they are opposite to each other. Either conduction of exams is good or bad.
