Discussion

The only true education comes through the stimulation of the child's powers by the demands of the social situations in which he finds himself. Through these demands he is stimulated to act as a member of a unity, to emerge from his original narrowness of action and feeling, and to conceive himself from the standpoint of the welfare of the group to which he belongs. 

The passage best supports the statement that real education -

  • A.will take place if the children imbibe action and feeling.
  • B.will take place if the children are physically strong.
  • C.is not provided in our schools today.
  • D.comes through the interaction with social situations.
  • E.comes from the self-centred approach of the students.

Answer: D

Correct answer: comes through the interaction with social situations.

The first sentence states the thesis: true education comes through the stimulation of the child’s powers by the demands of the social situations in which he finds himself. The second sentence describes what those demands do - they draw the child out of narrowness and towards the welfare of the group.

Action and feeling appear only as the narrowness he emerges from, and the passage says nothing about physical strength, about present-day schools, or about a self-centred approach.
