In the following questions, you have a briefpassage with some questions following the passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives,A vexed problem facing us is the clamour to open more colleges and to reserve more seats for backwardclasses. But it will be a sheer folly to expand such facilities recklessly without giving any thoughtto the quality of education imparted . If admissions are made for more selective , it will automatically reduce the number of entrants. Thisshould apply particularly to new colleges, many of which are little more than degree factories. Only then can the authorities hope tobring down the teacher - studentratio to manageable proportion .What is more , teachers should be given refresher courses, every summer to brush up their knowledge.Besides , if college managementsincrease their library budget it willhelp both the staff and the studentsa great deal .At the same time, however, it will be unfair to deny college education to thousands of young menand women , unless employers stopinsisting on degrees even for clerical jobs. For a start , why can ’t theGovernment disqualify graduatesfrom securing certain jobs , say classIII and IV posts ? Once the link between degrees and jobs is severed ,at least in some important departments,it will make young peoplethink twice before joining college.What can automatically helpto reduce admissions ?1). Tough entrance tests2). Discouragement to opennew colleges3). Selective admissions4). Abolishing reservation
