Option A

Only (iii)

Solution :

The correct answer is Only (iii).


To determine the correct combination of paragraphs, let us analyze the context of the given sentence and compare it with the details provided in paragraphs (i), (ii), and (iii):


Given Sentence:
"It has been brought to our attention that, despite the summer break, several private schools continue to use the regular online learning approach."


Analysis of the Paragraphs:
(i) This paragraph discusses farmers in Punjab and Haryana receiving minimum support price payments under the Direct Benefit Transfer Scheme. This is entirely unrelated to schools or online learning during summer break.
(ii) This paragraph discusses India's ranking in the World Press Freedom Index. This is also completely unrelated to the given sentence.
(iii) This paragraph mentions that many private schools are continuing online classes despite a decree declaring summer break, which led the Directorate to issue a circular discontinuing these activities. This directly matches the context and contains the premise from which the given sentence (regarding private schools continuing online learning despite summer break) can be inferred.


Therefore, the given sentence can only be inferred from paragraph (iii).
