In the question below is given a statement followed by two courses of action, numbered I and II. It is assumed that everything in the statement is true. Then decide which of two given courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing.

Statement:

Despite the RTE Act, many children are still deprived of education.

Courses of action:

I. Government should ensure the enforcement of RTE Act.

II. Parents of educationally deprived children should be punished.

Solution

I. "Government should ensure the enforcement of RTE ACT." This course of action seems logical because it addresses the issue mentioned in the statement. If the RTE (Right to Education) Act is not being effectively enforced, the government should take measures to ensure its proper implementation to reduce the deprivation of education among children.   II. "Parents of educationally deprived children should be punished." This course of action might not be entirely justified or effective. Punishing parents might not be the most constructive solution, as there could be various reasons for a child being educationally deprived, and punishment may not address the root causes. It is generally more effective to focus on systemic issues and improvements in education policies. Therefore, Course of Action I logically follows based on the given statement.
