Validating assumptions regarding access to quality education

Reading Comp.Education / Society passageStatement-basedMedium

Question

With reference to the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:

1Travel leads to an understanding of humans.
2Travel helps those who wish to learn fundamental common values.
3A person with long experience in travel can resolve differences amongst people.

Options

a

1 and 2 only

Answer
b

2 and 3 only

c

1 and 3 only

d

1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Assumption 1 is valid because the text calls learning common values through travel the key to "live at ease among their fellows" , which requires human understanding. Assumption 2 paraphrases the final sentence : "the art of learning fundamental common values is perhaps the greatest gain of travel...". Assumption 3 overreaches significantly by claiming a traveler can "resolve differences" among people. The author states travel helps a person understand or tolerate differences, not act as a conflict mediator.

Eliminate assumption choices that exaggerate personal realization or internal understanding into an active capability to solve external social conflicts.

Answer: (a).
