Identifying the central idea regarding economic planning
Question
Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
Options
1 only
2 only
Both 1 and 2
Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Evaluate the stated assumptions against the text[cite: 1307, 1308]. Assumption 1 sets up a comparative value judgment ("greater role than the governments") regarding educational efficacy that is completely unmentioned by the author, who only notes parental expectations[cite: 1313, 1314, 1317]. Assumption 2 prescribes a solution containing a fatal structural constraint: a "uniform" national curriculum. The passage diagnoses foundational learning gaps in reading and arithmetic, not a lack of curriculum uniformity across states. Neither premise is a foundational assumption of the author.
Answer: (d).
