Directions: In the following questions read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives. I notice nowadays a little girl at home always playing the school game in a corner of the verandah but never without a flat, wooden foot rule in hand which she flourishes menacingly at the pupils assembled in her phantasmagoric class room. On investigation I found that the cane being discredited, has yielded place to the foot rule, especially in. Convent schools the flat rule has the advantage over the primitive birch of mauling without marking which could count as an achievement in torturing technique and it also possesses the innocent appearance of a nonviolent pedagogic equipment. A modern educator naturally, has to adapt his ways to modern circumstances, and put away obsolete weapons. The flat rule is employed only at education, torments to a young soul are devised in subtler forms progressively: admissions, textbooks and examinations are the triple weapons in the hands of an educator today.

The cane is discredited because

A) the primitive birch can maul without marking

B) it is an achievement in torturing techniques

C) it has a menacing appearance and it cannot maul without marking

D) it is a non-violent pedagogic equipment
