Question:

Read the passage and answer the question:
The Olympic Games in Paris have officially begun. More than 110 participants are at the Olympic village as part of the Indian contingent. Along with them is a team of coaches, doctors, physiotherapists, psychologists and a nutritionist. Nutrition plays a major role in the performance of the sports persons. They will have to consume a well-balanced meal and try to avoid having something new. When sports persons are in a foreign country, there may not always be dishes they have eaten previously. So they need guidance. If there is no Indian alternative, the nutritionist can suggest a close alternative. The Olympic village has four dining districts: World, French, Halal, and Asian. These halls will be functional round the clock, but the participants will not be allowed to cook anything within the venue. \medskip Which one of the following is a correct statement?

Show Hint

Be careful with absolute words like "will'' and specific numbers. If the passage says "more than 110,'' then "110'' is not correct. Also, understand the roles of supporting staff (like coaches, doctors, nutritionists).

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Let’s carefully evaluate each statement in light of the passage. Option A: "110 Indian participants are staying in the Olympic Village."
The passage states "more than 110 participants" are staying, not exactly 110. Therefore, this statement is inaccurate. Option B: "Doctors are to take part in Olympic Games."
This is incorrect. Doctors are part of the supporting team (medical staff), not participants in the Games. Option C: "Indian dishes will be supplied to Indian participants."
The passage mentions that if Indian dishes are not available, the nutritionist can suggest close alternatives. It does not say Indian dishes will be supplied directly. Hence, this statement is incorrect. Option D: "Coaches will give training and guidance to the player."
This is correct. The passage states that a team of coaches is accompanying the participants. It is their role to guide and train the players.
