Comprehension: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions: The most important part of a person's life is his childhood. The learning our young citizens receive at home, in school and in society between the ages of five and sixteen will shape them for the rest of their lives. during this phase, they need a good value based education to become enlightened human beings. Parents and teachers need to have an integrated mission: education with a good value system at home and in school. Education is fundamental to building the nation of our dreams. All our aspirations as a society are tied to the capabilities of our youngsters, who form such a large part of our population. A child's individuality and creativity need to be given due importance in our education. The curriculum needs to be innovative and the examination system overhauled so that it recognizes and evaluates creativity and new thinking rather than the memorization of facts. Schools must move away from being centres of education alone, instead becoming centres of knowledge and skill development.

A child becomes an enlightened human being as a result of the value based education received:

(A) At home only

(B) In school only

(C) At home, in school and in society

(D) In society only

(E) Between the ages of five and sixteen

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is (C) & (E) Only.

To understand why this combination is correct, let us carefully re-read the key sentence from the passage:

"The learning our young citizens receive at home, in school and in society between the ages of five and sixteen will shape them for the rest of their lives. During this phase, they need a good value based education to become enlightened human beings."

This single sentence from the passage contains the complete answer. Let us break it down into two distinct pieces of information that directly correspond to the two correct options:

Why Option (C) is correct — "At home, in school and in society":
The passage explicitly states that the learning received "at home, in school and in society" is what shapes young citizens. It further says that during this phase, they need a "good value based education to become enlightened human beings." This directly tells us that value-based education — which leads to becoming an enlightened human being — comes from all three sources: home, school, and society. Option (C) captures all three sources together, making it accurate and complete. Options (A), (B), and (D) are all incorrect individually because they each mention only one of the three sources, which is an incomplete and therefore wrong interpretation of the passage.

Why Option (E) is correct — "Between the ages of five and sixteen":
The same sentence also specifies the age range during which this formative learning takes place: "between the ages of five and sixteen." The passage calls this the most important phase — childhood — and emphasizes that the education received during this specific age window is what shapes a person for the rest of their life. Option (E) correctly identifies this critical time period.

Why the other combined options are wrong:

• (A) & (E) Only — This is incorrect because Option (A) says "at home only," which contradicts the passage that clearly includes school and society as well.
• (A), (D) & (E) Only — This is incorrect because Options (A) and (D) together still omit "in school," and combining incomplete parts does not form the complete picture that Option (C) already provides.
• (A) & (B) Only — This is incorrect because it excludes society entirely, and also does not mention the age range (E).

Conclusion:
The passage tells us two facts simultaneously: (1) a child becomes an enlightened human being through value-based education received at home, in school, and in society — which is Option (C), and (2) this education occurs between the ages of five and sixteen — which is Option (E). Both facts are essential and work together to answer the question completely. Therefore, (C) & (E) Only is the correct and most comprehensive answer.
