Question
In the question given below, a passage is given followed
by three statements which may or may not be inferred from the passage. Select the correct combination of statements that can be inferred. Passage: A study conducted in rural areas found that households with access to microfinance services experienced improvements in children’s nutrition and school attendance. The benefits, however, were more significant in households where women were the primary borrowers. This suggests that empowering women financially can lead to better outcomes for children in terms of health and education. Statements: 1. Microfinance schemes targeted at women can have a positive impact on children’s welfare. 2. The financial empowerment of women influences decisions related to children's health and education. 3. Households that have access to microfinance always show improvement in children's nutrition and school attendance.Solution
Statement 1 is supported. The passage says households where women were the borrowers saw more significant improvements in child welfare, so targeting women can positively impact children. Statement 2 is also supported. The conclusion drawn in the passage is that empowering women financially leads to better outcomes for children — this implies that women’s financial role influences decisions regarding children's welfare. Statement 3 is too extreme. The passage says households experienced improvements, not that all of them did, and especially not always. The word "always" makes this inference invalid.
