wrong answer (Question:110866.2)

the option C is quoted from the 2nd last paragraph

Question:
DIRECTIONS: Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


There is a general impression among the public that our schools and colleges educate students. That some kind of uncritical knowledge is imparted to the students is beyond any doubt. Students are made to copy notes, learn them by heart, and reproduce it during examination. Those who learn by heart and reproduce it to the exact letter are considered as the best. Others who do not succeed in the exercise are termed 'failures'. The examination results are all a grading in memory work which has nothing to do with education. An educated person is one who has developed qualities of mind and heart, and who can critically evaluate thing and objectively decide the course of his action based on factual information.


The impressions that the students gather in the years of their academic life are important for their future. In fact, attitudes to life are built on what is happening in the academic institutions. The type of things that are taught, the ways and methods of communication and the mental attitudes of those who teach are primary in education. What are some of the things taught in our institutions? The first thing the student learns is that the teacher is always right. Students do not know.

Who, according to the author, is an educated person?

Options:
A) One who learns by heart and reproduces it to the exact letter
B) One who is humble enough to realize that the teacher is always right
C) One who has developed qualities of mind and heart and can critically evaluate factual information
D) One who copies notes, learns them by heart, and reproduces them during examination.
Solution:
Ans: (c)


The correct answer is (c). First paragraph, last line mentions that 'An educated person is one who has developed qualities of mind and heart, and who can critically evaluate thing and objectively decide the course of his action based on factual information.
