Statement & Assumption — “Make schools free from fear, trauma, and anxiety to turn the Right to Education into a grand national movement.” Which assumptions are implicit? I. A nationwide Right to Education movement is desirable for society. II. Many children currently experience anxiety and stress at school.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: if both Assumption I and Assumption II are implicit

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:The prescription links emotionally safe schools with energizing a national Right to Education effort. We test which premises are necessary.

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Goal: strengthen the Right to Education through better school climate.
  • Problem: fear/trauma/anxiety impede participation and learning.

Concept / Approach:Assumption I is necessary because the recommendation aims at advancing a valuable national goal. Assumption II is necessary because the remedy (reduce fear/anxiety) targets an existing impediment; if stress were not prevalent, the remedy would be misdirected.

Step-by-Step Solution:Affirm I: The statement presumes RTE is worth amplifying.Affirm II: The intervention targets a real, present barrier.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:“Only I” or “Only II” omit a required pillar of the recommendation’s logic; “Neither/Either” break the linkage.

Final Answer:if both Assumption I and Assumption II are implicit
