READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.
Though the U.S. prides itself on being a leader in the world community, a recent report shows that it lags far behind other industrialised countries in meeting the needs of its youngest and most vulnerable citizens. The U.S. has a higher infant mortality-rate, a higher proportion of low birth-weight babies, a smaller proportion of babies immunised against childhood diseases and a much higher rate of adolescent pregnancies. These findings, described as a 'quiet crisis' requires immediate and far-reaching action. Research shows that a fourth of the nation's 12 million infants and toddlers live in poverty. As many as half confront risk factors that could harm their ability to develop intellectually, physically and socially. Child immunisations are too low, more children are born into poverty, more are in substandard care while their parents work and more are being raised by single parents. When taken together, these and other risk factors can lead to educational and health problems that are much harder and more costly to reverse.
The crisis begins in the womb with unplanned parenthood. Women with unplanned pregnancies are less likely to seek pre-natal care. In the U.S. 80% of teenage pregnancies and 56% of all pregnancies are unplanned. The problems continue after birth where unplanned pregnancies and unstable partnerships often go hand in hand. Since 1950, the number of single parent families has nearly tripled. More than 25 percent of all births today are to unmarried mothers. As the number of single parent families grow and more women enter the work force, infants and toddlers are increasingly in the care of people other than their parents.
Most disturbingly, recent statistics show that American parents are increasingly neglecting or abusing their children. Babies under the age of one are the fastest growing category of children entering foster care. The crisis affects children under the age of three most severely, the report says. Yet, it is this period-from infancy through pre-school years-that sets the stage for a child's future.
The 'Quiet Crisis' severely affects the children belonging to the age group ___________.

A between one and three years
B between two and three years
C below one year
D below three years


the answer wasn't given clearly in passage.

Ans 1:

Rebekah Lisa Thomas from STRS, Trivandrum
Class : Class 8
I think that the answer has to be D because it is written clearly that "The crisis affects children under the age of three most severely

Ans 2:

Sharvari Joshi from VIBGYOR High Balewadi, Pune
Class : Class 9
the answer should be D it is clearly stated in the passage

Ans 3:

MRUDSDHA2 from Abhinava Vidyalaya English Medium Primary School, Pune
Class : Class 8
I think the answer should be option D- below 3 years. To quote the passage, "The crisis affects children under the age of three most severely, the report says."

Ans 4:

Aarav Mahavir Koul from NPS ITPL, Bangalore
Class : Class 8
It is Dit is d

Ans 5:

Anushka Agrawal from Choithram International, Indore
Class : Class 8
It doesn't make sense, as it is quoted children under 3 years are most severely affected.

Ans 6:

Anurag peddi from Niraj International School, Hyderabad
Class : Class 9
I think its D

Ans 7:

Suhani Amogh Thaly from NPS, Bangalore
Class : Class 8
Shouldn't the answer be 'd' as they mention it "affects the children below the age of three most severely"

Ans 8:

Ethel shiju from National Public School Indiranagar, Bangalore
Class : Class 9
The answer is below one year as it is said in the passage that “These findings described as the quiet crisis requires immediate and far reaching action. One fourth of the nation’s 12 million infants and toddlers live in poverty” As infants are below 1 year..that must be the answer

Ans 9:

Ayush Gorain from Sarala Birla Public School, Ranchi
Class : Class 8
In my opinion, the answer should be Option (D) instead of Option (C), as, according to the final paragraph of the passage, it is written as "The crisis affects children under the age of three years most severely, the report says.". As it is clearly, mentioned, children under the age of 'three' years suffer most severely.

The correct answer is option c. It is completely correct to say “there is A need” but wrong to say that “there is a need to REVISING the school timings.”,it should be to REVISE the school timings...thus the answer is option c. Hope you found it helpful!

Arnav kaul from Chirec, Hyderabad
Class : Class 2

Ans 2:

Kyra Vashishtha from Gurukul the School, Ghaziabad
Class : Class 5
Divide is more appropriate than open. It may be an error from the SOF side.

Ans 3:

Ishita Das from VMS, Kolkata
Class : Class 5
Yes the correct answer should be divide ( option c) .

Ans 4:

anvi jain from SPRING DALE SENIOR SCHOOL, amritsar
Class : Class 5
I think it should be option c as bridge means 'to join' and antonym for this has to be 'divide'.

Ans 5:

Harshit from Montfort , Delhi
Class : Class 7
option C is correct

Ans 6:

Ananya sharma from Jayshree periwal high school jaipur , Jaipur
Class : Class 8

Ans 7:

Alina Chattopadhyay from Tagore International School, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi, South Delhi
Class : Class 6
the meaning of bridge is bind so, antonym poen is more appropriate . So whoever is saying its wrong, please acknowledge these are right answers by sof

Ans 8:

Arihant Medhi from Dps Barasat, Kolkata
Class : Class 8
Bind can not be, as bride means 'to join' . But open is the answer,as the antonym of join is open

Ans 9:

marika from VTS, Mumbai
Class : Class 4
Option c is right as per the Internet. Open doesn't sound right either.

Ans 10:

Atharv Ashwin from Legacy International School, Bangalore
Class : Class 5
its divide

Ans 11:

Swarnava Pal from Vivekananda Mission School, Haldia
Class : Class 8
d is the answer

Ans 12:

Ananya sharma from Jayshree periwal high school jaipur , Jaipur
Class : Class 8
divide must be the correct answer because word divide means to separate and bridge means structure carrying road over river etc.

Ans 13:

Aneek Dey from Little Angel School, karimganj
Class : Class 6
Divide ought to be the correct answer as it means to separate. If it was not in the options, then open could have been considered. Bridge means to connect for which divide is its antonym.

Ans 14:

Agrim gupta from DPS, Agra
Class : Class 5
why can't it be divide

Ans 15:

Shreyans Jain from Glendale Academy, HYDERABAD
Class : Class 5
It says the antonym which is the opposite of a word so I think it is option d

Ans 16:

Tanay Tatu from billabong high international school, Vadodara
Class : Class 5
yup, but if it is showing wrong, think of the next possibility! open?

Ans 17:

Sanas Gandhi from Army Public School, New Delh
Class : Class 5
Divide is more appropriate option. SOF's answer key is probably showing the wrong answer.

Ans 18:

Durjoy Datta from Venkateshwar International School, Sector 10, Dwarka, New Delhi
Class : Class 5
The answer is divide. There is an error from the SOF side. Anyways, there are many answers given by this website which are wrong.

Ans 19:

Agastya Ashwin from VIBGYOR, P
Class : Class 5
"Divide" - option C does sound more appropriate to me! Hope, SOF sends a correction.

Ashaz Shaikh from Marble Arch School, Mumbai
Class : Class 5
SOF has not sent a correction yet guys we need to voice our opinion

Ans 21:

Sneha Bhide from Symbiosis, Pune
Class : Class 9
I think Divide is correct answer.

Ans 22:

Durjoy Datta from Venkateshwar International School, Sector 10, Dwarka, New Delhi
Class : Class 5
The answer is c as divide makes more sense here. If it was not present, then it would have been open.

Ans 27:

Sagnik Nag from Thakur Public School , Mumbai
