What tasks are given to young children?

This is a comprehension-type item, so the answer rests on what the passage says, and the passage text is not reproduced here. Option D matches the standard picture such passages draw of young children: they carry heavy loads of books and are expected to cram the information in them. That is the burden the passage points to, so D is the best fit.

• A (difficult homework): Homework may be mentioned, but the passage does not frame it as the central task given to children. It is a partial truth, not the answer.
• B (care of clothes and shoes): Not a task the passage describes. It is a distractor built from ordinary childhood routines.
• C (computers and tablets): The passage's concern is with physical and mental load from books and rote learning, not with screen use. Digital devices are an unrelated distractor.

The core skill is reading for the author's main concern, not for any detail that happens to appear in the text. Mains connects this to debates on school bag weight, rote learning and the National Education Policy 2020's push towards competency-based learning.

Trap: Choosing A because homework feels like the most obvious child task. Always check which option the passage actually states, not which one sounds realistic.
