aThe Right to Education now is a Fundamental Right.
bThe Right to Education enables the children of poor and weaker sections of the society to attend schools.
cThe Right to Free and Compulsory Education should include quality education for all.
dThe Government as well as parents should ensure that all children attend schools.
AnswerUPSC’s answer is (c).
The passage starts with access, then reaches its larger point: the right to education goes beyond free and compulsory schooling to include quality education for all, and a child denied quality is denied the right. Curricular reform, teacher accountability and testing reform all serve that point. The other options give a fact not argued here, a narrower point about the poor, or only attendance.
Why each option is right or wrong
(a) The Fundamental Right status is not argued in the passage.
(b) Focus on the poor is a part of the passage, not its main message.
(c) Correct: free and compulsory education must include quality for all.
(d) Attendance is only part of the argument; quality is the real point.
Answer: UPSC’s key. Explanation: written by UPSC Grade, not by UPSC.
