Hint:

For reading comprehension questions about solutions, match the answer to the passage's explicit mention or examples, and eliminate options that introduce unrelated or contradictory ideas.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: Understand the question. The question asks for what is being developed to address low student engagement in online education, requiring a specific solution from the passage.
- Step 2: Locate relevant information. The passage states, "Interactive tools, such as virtual simulations and discussion platforms, are being developed to address this issue." This directly identifies "interactive tools" as the solution.
- Step 3: Evaluate the options.
- Option (1): "New courses" is not mentioned as a solution to engagement issues, so it is incorrect.
- Option (2): "Interactive tools" directly matches the passage's wording, supported by examples like virtual simulations, making it the correct choice.
- Option (3): "Physical classrooms" contradicts the online education context, so it is incorrect.
- Option (4): "Standardized tests" is not referenced and is irrelevant to engagement, so it is incorrect.
- Step 4: Verify specificity. The passage explicitly uses "interactive tools" with examples, ensuring option (2) is a precise match. No other solutions are mentioned.
- Step 5: Cross-check for alternatives. The passage does not suggest courses, classrooms, or tests as solutions, confirming that interactive tools is the only correct answer.
- Step 6: Final conclusion. Option (2) Interactive tools is the correct answer, as it directly reflects the passage's stated solution to low student engagement.
