Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: I and III are strong
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Regulating private tuitions by school teachers involves access, conflicts of interest, and instructional quality. Strong arguments must tie directly to student impact or school outcomes, not unrelated employment claims.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Argument I is strong: banning may reduce access to high-quality help for needy students. Argument III is also strong: prohibiting private coaching by in-school teachers may remove perverse incentives and refocus effort on classroom quality (a plausible mechanism). Argument II is weak—teachers’ regulation is not about providing income to unemployed others. Argument IV is weak—salary levels do not, by themselves, resolve quality or conflict issues.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
Where bans exist, policies often pair them with after-school support inside schools, reconciling I and III.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Options including II/IV over-value weak reasoning; “III and IV” ignores the strong access concern in I.
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing fairness to unemployed workers with student-outcome policy.
Final Answer:
I and III are strong.
