Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Only I follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The policy statement recommends that schools promote partnerships specifically to increase parental involvement “for promoting the growth of children.” Thus, parental involvement is presented as instrumental to growth.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
If parental involvement is promoted to achieve children’s growth, then involvement is being treated as a factor that supports growth. Therefore, Conclusion I follows. Conclusion II directly contradicts the rationale.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) I: Matches the stated policy rationale → follows.2) II: Claims “no influence,” which conflicts with the explicit purpose → does not follow.
Verification / Alternative check:
Had the statement said involvement is unrelated to growth, II might follow; it says the opposite.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Only II,” “Both,” and “Neither” misinterpret the policy’s stated purpose.
Common Pitfalls:
Overlooking intention embedded in policy statements as evidence of assumed influence.
Final Answer:
Only I follows
