Statement: Several students failed mathematics this quarter in a public high school. Courses of action: I. Mathematics should be removed from the curriculum. II. Remedial classes should be given to the students who failed. Which course(s) of action logically follow?

  1. Only I follows.
  2. Only II follows.
  3. Both I and II follow.
  4. Neither I nor II follows.

Answer

B. Only II follows.

Solution

The answer is: Only II follows. II helps the students improve. I is extreme and defeats the purpose of education. A course of action follows if it is practical and addresses the problem without being extreme.
