Use the passage below to answer the question below.
Chalyn was sixteen year old girl. She was sixth child in a family of nine. Chalyn’s father and mother were both private workers who barely had time for the home. The new management of Chalyn’s parents’ workplace was incompetent and could not pay workers’ salaries for several months. Chalyn became frustrated with the situation at home.
One day she met some friends who capitalized on her situation and advised her to leave home if she wanted to live a good life and she obliged. She was introduced to a trafficking agent who took her abroad where she was compelled to engage in prostitution. five years later, Chalyn was deported after she had contracted the deadly HIVIAIDS.
Chalyn’s ordeal would have been likely prevented through all the following means except
- poverty alleviation programme
- effective family planning
-
qualitative higher education
- skill acquistion coursed
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
While education is important, Chalyn's situation was more related to poverty and family circumstances. Poverty alleviation, family planning, and skill acquisition would have directly helped prevent her ordeal, whereas higher education alone would not have necessarily addressed the immediate issues she faced.
