[{"text": "Read the following passage carefully and answer question,( 46-50.)There is a great concern in Europe and North America about declining standards of literacy in schools. in Britain, the fact that 30% of 16 years olds have a reading age of 14 or less has helped to prompt massive educational changes. The development of literacy has far reaching effects on general intellectual development and thus anything which impedes the development of literacy is a serious matter for us all. So the hunt is on for the cause of the decline in literacy. The search so far has focused on socio-economic factors, or the effectiveness of 'traditional' versus 'modern' teaching techniques. The fruitless search for the cause of the increase in illiteracy is a tragic example of the saying 'They can't see the wood for the trees. When teachers use picture books, they are continuing a long established tradition that is accepted without question. And for the past two decades, illustrations in reading primers have become increasingly detailed and obtrusive, while language has become impoverished-sometimes to the point of extinction. Amazingly, there is virtually on empirical evidence of illustrations is teaching reading. On the contrary, a great deal of empirical evidence shows that pictures interfere in a damaging way with all aspects of learning to read. Despite this, from North America to the Antipodes, the first books that many school children receive are totally without text.", "type": "text_block", "database_type": "", "university": "", "year": "", "unit": "", "shift": "", "subject": "", "chapter": "", "topic": ""}, {"question": "In Britain the educational change were actuated\u00a0because of-\u00a0", "mark": 1.0, "answer": "one", "explanation": "", "options": [{"option": "\u00a0the average reading age of the increasing\u00a0number of students was decreasing", "answer": false}, {"option": "the curricular was outdated", "answer": false}, {"option": "the declining standard of literacy in school", "answer": false}, {"option": "the combination of all of the above", "answer": true}], "type": "question", "database_type": "qb", "university": "ju", "year": "2014-15", "unit": "f", "shift": "2", "subject": "e-b", "chapter": "e-140", "topic": "", "title": "In Britain the educational change were actuated\u00a0because of-\u00a0", "full_question": "In Britain the educational change were actuated\u00a0because of-\u00a0
