Passage (Sport—as above). Which of the following statements is/are correct?
1. Parents are not encouraging enough when it comes to children playing sport.
2. Participation in sporting activities can help develop life skills.
3. Sport as a way of life can help evolve the very nature of society itself.
A.1 and 3
B.2 and 3✓ Correct
C.2 only
D.3 only
Explanation
Statement 1 is not supported—the passage says parents complain that children are inactive, but doesn't say parents are insufficiently encouraging. Statement 2 is supported—the passage lists life skills (time management, teamwork, coordination) that can be learnt through sport. Statement 3 is supported—the passage calls for a culture where sport is a way of life, leading to a 'healthier, happier society', implying evolution of society. Hence 2 and 3 are correct.
