The education ministry recently came up with the idea of abolishing the class 10 Board Exams. According to the experts, it will take needless burden off the minds of the learners and exams conducted at the school level will produce better results. Questioning the move, an expert said, “How do you expect the students to perform better when they have no fear of failing at a national level exam?”

Which of the following statements would best answer the question posed by the expert?

Fear of failure alone doesn't ensure better results; it rather plays on the minds of the students and affects their performance.

Strict marking and opacity in the system will ensure that exams conducted at school level continue to be relevant, impartial and effective.

The concept will be phase tested in some parts of the nation initially and extended to the whole country only on getting a good feedback.

The level of syllabi of class 10 and 11 will be raised to ensure hard work among the students.
