Decision-making – Introducing free breakfast for primary students Statement: School M will provide free breakfast from the next academic year to all students in its primary section through its canteen, even without any government grant. Courses of Action: I. The school will have to admit many poor students who will now seek admission. II. The canteen’s facilities and utensils must be checked and augmented as needed. III. Funds must be raised to sustain the scheme in future years.

Introduction / Context:The school plans a welfare initiative (free breakfast) for all primary students. We must identify which actions logically follow from the decision, distinguishing operational necessities from speculative outcomes.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Free breakfast will be offered via the school canteen.
• No government grant is available.
• Scope: all primary-section students.

Concept / Approach:Actions that ensure readiness (infrastructure, hygiene, logistics) and financial sustainability follow. Predictions about admissions may or may not occur and thus do not “follow” as immediate courses of action.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:Any feeding program requires kitchen upgrades, vendor tie-ups, and a financing plan beyond launch. These are standard implementation steps.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• I as a course of action is not an action but a conjecture.
• “All follow” incorrectly treats I as certain.
• “Either I or II” is inapplicable: II is necessary, I is not.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing consequences with actions; assuming increased demand without evidence.

Final Answer:Only II and III follow
