Question 228

SSC CPO 2025• English Comprehension

In the given passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage intently and choose the most appropriate option to fill in each blank:

Equity in education is not a matter of distributing identical tools to unequal lives. It is, instead, the ______ (1) of design-one that begins by listening, not prescribing. To mistake uniformity for fairness is to ignore the histories etched into the margins of classrooms: the quiet absence of confidence, the inherited silences of caste, class, or gender, the invisible weight of underfed attention. In this context, merit is often brandished as a ________ (2) obscuring the scaffolded advantages that shape who arrives prepared and who arrives late. A just system does not pretend everyone starts at the same line; it re-draws the line so that the race itself does not entrench inequality. That redrawing requires more than infrastructure-it demands a ______ (3) of imagination. What if assessments accounted for lived complexity? What if pedagogy paused for breath where society gasps for access? Education is not a ladder out of poverty if the rungs are greased for some and splintered for others. Nor is inclusion real if it is merely spatial-a desk, a roll call, a token smile. True equity emerges not from programs alone, but from the ________ (4) to confront whose stories are centred, whose questions are validated, and whose silences are allowed to remain unbroken. The future of learning lies not in acceleration, but in the willingness to _______ (5) where we have failed to ask why the an always sound the same.
