Question

refer to passage 1 to answer this question. when the author writes that whoever develops a plan to make children useful should have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation, he means that the person who solves this problem ______.
○ should be shamed and vilified
○ deserves fame and admiration
○ must pose for a sculptor
○ should be elected to public office

Explanation:

To determine the meaning, we analyze the phrase "have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation". Setting up a statue for someone is a way to honor and show admiration for their contributions. "Should be shamed and vilified" is the opposite of what a statue implies. "Must pose for a sculptor" misinterprets the figurative meaning of having a statue (it's about honor, not literally posing). "Should be elected to public office" is not directly related to having a statue; the statue is about fame and admiration for solving the problem. So the correct option is the one about deserving fame and admiration.

Answer:

B. deserves fame and admiration
