Statement: For the fourth time in six months, many students in a local school fell ill after eating food from the school canteen.\nCourses of Action:\nI. Terminate the canteen’s contract immediately and seek compensation.\nII. Advise all students to avoid canteen food until a fresh clearance is granted.\nIII. 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.
