Question : Which of these statements is true?
1:In India, a large portion of total education spending goes toward elementary education.
2: Young people with higher education have the greatest unemployment rates.

Option 1: Only A

Option 2: Only B

Option 3: Both of the above

Option 4: None of the above

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Both of the above


Solution : Higher education accounts for the least amount of the total budget and elementary education for the most. The government places more focus on elementary education because it is the foundational or first level of schooling.
The fact that educated people have higher unemployment rates is partly due to their unwillingness to work in low-wage informal jobs, but also because there aren't enough paying conventional positions available for them.
Hence option c is the correct answer.

Question : Comprehension:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
'What's your name, boy?' said the gentleman in the high chair. Oliver was frightened at the sight of so many gentlemen, which made him tremble and speak in a very low and hesitating voice.
'Listen to me. You know you're an orphan, I suppose? And that you were brought up by the parish, don't you?'
'Yes, sir,' replied Oliver, weeping bitterly.
'I hope you say your prayers every night,' said another gentleman in a gruff voice, 'and pray for the people who feed you, and take care of you'.
'Yes, sir,' stammered the boy.
'Well! You have come here to be educated, and taught a useful trade,' said the red-faced gentleman in the high chair.

Poor Oliver! He little thought, as he lay sleeping, happily unconscious of things around him, that the board had that very day arrived at a decision which would exercise the most material influence over all his future fortunes.

But they had. They believed the workhouse was a regular place of public entertainment for the poorer classes; a tavern where there was nothing to pay; a public breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper all the year round; a brick and mortar place, where it was all play and no work. 'Oho!' said the board, looking very knowing; 'we are the fellows to set this to rights; we'll stop it all, in no time.'

So, they established the rule, that all poor people should be starved by a gradual process in the house. The water-works were asked to lay on an unlimited supply of water; a corn-factory asked to supply small quantities of oatmeal; and it was decided to issue three meals of thin gruel a day, with an onion twice a week, and half a roll of bread on Sundays.

Question:
What was Oliver's situation?

Option 1: He had no family and was living in a home for orphans

Option 2: His education would prepare him for the future

Option 3: He was enjoying a stay at a workhouse

Option 4: He was fortunate to be provided with good meals

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: He had no family and was living in a home for orphans


Solution : The correct option is the first option.

Explanation:
Oliver's situation is described as that of an orphan who was brought up by the parish. He is brought before a group of gentlemen who inquire about his background and inform him of their decision regarding his education and future prospects. The passage indicates that Oliver, being an orphan, was brought up by the parish, suggesting he has no family and is under the care of the authorities or the parish.

Therefore, the correct option would be: "He had no family and was living in a home for orphans."
