Answer
Correct Answer: if only I follows
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The statement cites a global framework already agreed upon. The logical next step is domestication and implementation, not re-hosting the event.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Outcome: a framework of action exists.
- COA I: implement relevant action points nationally.
- COA II: immediately organize a similar conference in India.
Concept / Approach:COA I is the obvious follow-through—curricular reforms, access/retention, teacher development, measurement, and inclusion. COA II adds little; convening another conference does not substitute for implementation and is not implied by the statement.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Translate framework → national plan and execution (I).2) Reject II as redundant at this stage.Verification / Alternative check:Implementation can proceed using existing documents and bilateral cooperation; no new conference is necessary to begin.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only II/Either/Both: confuses deliberation with action.Neither: ignores a clear, actionable path (I).Common Pitfalls:Overvaluing meetings relative to execution.
Final Answer:Only I follows.
