Reading Comp.RC — InferenceReading Comprehension● Easy

Question

[PASSAGE] Sport is not just about winning medals or getting jobs through a sports quota. Today's generation is struggling with issues like depression and anxiety. Parents often say that their children are inactive and rarely leave the house. Sport can help tackle these problems. From sport you can learn time management, fitness, teamwork, coordination, and so much more. We need to develop a culture in which sport is seen as a way of life—a path to building a healthier, happier society.

[QUESTION] Which of the following statements is/are correct?

Options

1 and 3

2 and 3

Answer

2 only

3 only

Explanation

Let us check each statement carefully against the literal text of the passage:

Statement 1 is incorrect: The text states that parents observe or say their children are inactive , but it does not claim or evaluate whether parents are failing to provide enough encouragement.

Statement 2 is correct: The text explicitly notes that sports help develop vital life skills like 'time management, fitness, teamwork, coordination' .

Statement 3 is correct: The final sentence highlights sports as a lifestyle path toward 'building a healthier, happier society', showing it can help improve the collective well-being of society.

Since statements 2 and 3 are correct based on the text, option (b) is the correct choice.

Inference questions must be based strictly on the explicit facts provided, and cannot introduce outside assumptions regarding parental behavior that are not discussed in the text.

Answer: (b).
