A should be the answer. Please read carefully before posting answers.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to the given question out of the four alternatives.

Unfortunately, in our schools, we look upon children as mere raw stuff on which we can impose our unjust views through our powerful wills. Children born healthy are turned into the sick semblance of ourselves. We inject them with our own views and make them as corrupt as we are. Children should understand what is natural, spontaneous, uncorrupt, sound and reach harmony with themselves and other objects in the world. The monstrous sin of pride makes us commit gross perversions in their nature. The child is unable to defy, to be promethean, to create goals, to build worlds in conformity with what our moral sense knows to be eternal truths. We must free education from the chains of the evil past, from its ignorance and errors. We must liberate the young from the blind despotism of the old. We must not destroy the right and power of self-direction. Coercion is evil. It destroys what is natural and sacred in the child, the capacity for thinking and acting according to what it knows to be true.

If we stuff the mind of the child with our own views, it

Options:
A)

makes them as corrupt as we are

B)

is unable to develop his personality to the full

C)

is unable to reach his goals

D)

none of the above

Solution:

Impressing people with our own ideas, we make them as copies of us. We infect them with our own frailties and our own world view, however corrupt, it may be. So we deprived them, with the opportunity to develop their own sense of right and wrong, which comes from freedom to develop their own personality.
