Higher education - Assumptions

Reading Comp.Education passageRC - Assumption validation● Medium

Question

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

1.
Higher education is a constantly evolving subject that needs to align towards new developments in all spheres of society.
2.
In our country, sufficient funds are not allocated for promoting higher education.

Options

I only

Answer

II only

Both I and II

Neither I nor II

Explanation

Statement I is a valid assumption; the passage states that "new demands of society and the future of work require critical and independent thinking," directly implying that higher education must evolve alongside societal developments. Statement II, regarding a lack of allocated funds, is an external fact not referenced anywhere in the text. The author focuses purely on the methodology and philosophy of education, not its financial backing.

Never introduce external knowledge (like funding deficits in Indian education) into Reading Comprehension assumptions; base your logic strictly on the provided text.

Answer: (a).
