Concept:An assumption is an unstated idea that must be true for the given statement to make sense. We check each statement against the passage.
Explanation:Assumption I follows because the passage says students improved in attendance, assignments, mock tests, and confidence after attending mentorship sessions. So regular guidance clearly has a positive impact.
Assumption II does not follow because the passage only says improvement was observed among participants. It nowhere states that all participants were academically weak before the program.
Assumption III follows because education analysts argued that approaching exams and parental supervision could also be reasons for the improvement. This directly supports the idea that external factors may contribute.
Assumption IV does not follow because the passage does not mention compulsory attendance, nor does it state that students generally avoid structured activities unless forced. This assumption is extreme and unsupported.
Answer:Only I and III follow.
Correct option: A. Only I and III follow.
