Direction: Read the paragraph and answer the question.
Education should not stop when the individual should be prepared to make a livelihood and to live in modern society. Living would be mere existence were there not appreciation and enjoyment of the riches of art, literature and science.
The paragraph best supports the statement that true education
Education should not stop when the individual should be prepared to make a livelihood and to live in modern society. Living would be mere existence were there not appreciation and enjoyment of the riches of art, literature and science.
The paragraph best supports the statement that true education
- is focused on the routine problems of life
- prepares one for full enjoyment of life
- deals chiefly with art, literature, and science
- is not possible for one who does not enjoy scientific literature
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - prepares one for full enjoyment of life
The passage says living would be mere existence without enjoying art, literature and science, so true education must go beyond livelihood and prepare one for the full enjoyment of life. It does not say education deals chiefly with these subjects, nor the extreme claim that it is impossible for one who does not enjoy scientific literature.
