DIRECTIONS: In questions below, you have brief passages with questions following each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the questions out of the four alternatives.


Child psychology is certainly not a strong point with most Indian schools; why else would they inflict a double trauma on a student performing badly in the pre-boards by banning her from taking the board exams, often with fatal results as evidenced by reports of student suicides in the run-up to the boards. Now the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has stepped in and put the brakes on this discriminatory practice, ruling that no student can be barred from the Boards without prior clearance from the CBSE. This is good news for parents and students, many of whom have had to live with the threat of performance-linked debarment. The school’s logic is that in order to attract talented students, they need to maintain their performance records at high levels. The argument that chances are that a student faring poorly at the pre-boards will replicate this at the boards is faulty.
