=>ANSWER: B
1. Continued with follow-up assistance in elementary schools Keywords: follow-up assistance, elementary schools.
Both the “Headstart” and “Missouri” programmes focused on children’s early education before the age of three. So neither “Headstart” nor “Missouri” continued with further assistance in elementary schools.
=>ANSWER: D
1. Did not succeed in its aim Keywords: not succeed, aim
Paragraph 5 of Section C reports on the „Headstart‟ programme and its failure: “Despite substantial funding, results have been disappointing”.
+ not succeed in its aim = results have been disappointing
=>ANSWER: A
1. Dupplied many forms of support and training to parents Keywords: support, training, parents
We can see that “Headstart” did not provide support and training to parents, as stated in paragraph 5, Section C that: “Second, the parents were not involved. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment”.
The parents were not involved: parents were not the subject of the programme.
„Headstart‟ only took children at the age of three to pre-school institutions and taught them in schools. However, the “Missouri” programme offered support and training to parents, as indicated in paragraphs 6 and 7, Section D: “a pilot programme was launched in Missouri in the US that focused on parents as the child’s first teachers… The programme involved trained parent-educators visiting the parent’s home and working with the parent, or parents, and the child. Information on child development, and guidance on things to look for and expect as the child grows were provided, plus guidance in fostering the child’s intellectual, language, social and motor-skill development.”
=>ANSWER: B
1. Received insufficient funding Keywords: insufficient, funding
In paragraphs 4 and 5, the writer says that “Headstart” received substantial funding: “A lot of money was poured into it”. “Missouri” also gained a lot of funding, as described in paragraph 6, Section D: “As a result of the growing research evidence of the importance of the first three years of a child’s life and the disappointing results from that “Headstart” a pilot programme was launched in
Missouri in the US that focused on parents as the child’s first teachers”. “Missouri” provided a lot of guidance and support to parents and the children, so it could not have received insufficient funding.
