Question:
DIRECTIONS: In the following questions, you have passage with questions following passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


Regular physical activity provides numerous health benefits from leaner bodies and lower blood pressure to improved mental health and congnitive functioning. As the school’s physical education programme promotes physical activity and can teach skills as well as form or change behaviour, it holds an important key to influencing health and well-being across the life  span. To improve the fitness of students, we need to rethink the design and delivery of school-based physical  education programme. Adults in the United States think that information about health is more important for students to learn than contents in language, arts, mathematics, science, history or any other subject. Despite this ranking, most schools devote minimal curriculum time to teaching students how to lead healthy lives. Our first step might be to consider ways  to increase curriculum time devoted to physical education. In addition, schools need to thoughtfully analyse the design and delivery of school physical education programme to ensure that they are engaging, developmentally appropriate, inclusive and instructionally powerful.
