Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

Parents and Teachers

Solution :

The correct answer is Parents and Teachers.

To arrive at this answer, we simply need to read the passage carefully and locate the exact sentence that addresses this question. This is a direct comprehension question, meaning the answer is explicitly stated in the passage — we do not need to infer or deduce anything.

The passage states:

"Parents and teachers need to have an integrated mission: education with a good value system at home and in school."

This sentence directly answers the question: "Who need to have an integrated mission: education with a good value system at home and in school?"

The passage clearly identifies two groups who share this responsibility:

1. Parents — who are responsible for instilling values and supporting learning at home.
2. Teachers — who are responsible for delivering value-based education at school.

Together, they form a unified team that must work in harmony, which is why the passage uses the word "integrated mission" — meaning a joined, coordinated effort rather than separate or isolated roles.

Now let us understand why the other options are incorrect:

- Politicians — The passage does not mention politicians having any such mission.
- Philanthropists — The passage makes no reference to philanthropists at all.
- Businessmen — Similarly, businessmen are not mentioned anywhere in the passage in this context.

Therefore, based strictly on the content of the passage, Parents and Teachers are the ones who need to have an integrated mission of education with a good value system at home and in school.
