Statement: For the fourth time in six months, many students in a local school fell ill after eating food from the school canteen. Courses of Action: I. Terminate the canteen’s contract immediately and seek compensation. II. Advise all students to avoid canteen food until a fresh clearance is granted. III. Arrest the canteen owner immediately for negligence.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Only I and II follow

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:Recurrent illness establishes serious safety lapses. Administrative and contractual remedies should stop exposure now and enable corrective action, while criminal liability must follow due investigation.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Four incidents in six months; strong linkage to canteen.
  • Students’ health is at risk.

Concept / Approach:Contract termination and damages (I) protect students and impose accountability. Advisories (II) halt consumption immediately. Arrest (III) requires evidence and legal thresholds; “immediate” arrest without investigation is not warranted on the statement alone.

Step-by-Step Solution:1) Suspend/terminate and appoint a compliant vendor (I).2) Inform parents/students; provide safe alternatives (II).3) Conduct statutory inspection; prosecute if violations are confirmed.

Verification / Alternative check:Food safety practice prioritizes public protection and evidence-based enforcement.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:III presumes guilt; “All” inherits this flaw; singular options under-address the risk.

Common Pitfalls:Restarting services without validated corrective actions.

Final Answer:Only I and II follow.
