PYQ Question

Which one of the following statements best reflects the central idea conveyed by the passage?

Which one of the following statements best reflects the central idea conveyed by the passage?
  1. A. India does not have enough resources for promoting quality education in its universities.
  2. B. The institutions of higher learning in the country should not be under the control of the Government.
  3. C. Classroom approach to higher education should be done away with.
  4. D. Classroom needs to be reimagined and teaching to be re-invented.

Answer: D

Explanation

The passage critically examines the current state of teaching and learning in India, which is focused on examinations. It explicitly calls for a shift towards critical and independent thinking, learning through doing, and asking questions from multiple perspectives. The concluding sentence, “Teaching has to be re-invented,” directly supports the idea that the classroom approach needs a fundamental transformation. Option (a) is incorrect as resource scarcity is not mentioned. Option (b) misinterprets the passage’s call for intellectual independence from government policy as a demand for complete removal of government control. Option (c) is an extreme interpretation; the passage advocates for reinvention, not abolition, of classroom learning. This question tests the ability to identify the core message of a text, a crucial skill for UPSC CSAT Paper II.
