Question

Choose the correct meaning of the given phrase:
‘Fun is what makes them come back for more; makes them learn and remember.’
a) Children learn through fun and play
b) Children play more and more for fun
c) Children remember things while playing
d) Children learn only through play

Answer 1

Hint: The given statement means that fun is a crucial part of the process through which kids learn. While rote learning is boring and not fun for them, playing helps them learn in a fun way.

Complete answer:
Option a “Children learn through fun and play.” Correctly expresses the meaning of the given phrase. AS mentioned above the phrase means that children learn through playing in a fun way, otherwise rote learning is boring. This sentence expresses the same thoughts. Thus, option ‘a’ is the correct answer.
Option b “Children play more and more for fun.” does not correctly express the meaning of the given phrase as this sentence means that children play only for fun, they keep playing more and more to have more fun. This sentence does not link playing to learning. Thus, option ‘b’ is incorrect.
Option c “Children remember things while playing” is again incorrect as is it talks about children remembering things while playing. This does not correctly express the meaning that we are looking for. Thus, option ‘c’ is incorrect.
Option d “Children learn only through play.” Would mean that they only and only learn through play, i.e. an act or form of drama, which is not in alignment with the required meaning. This alters the meaning of the sentence. Thus, option ‘d’ is incorrect.

Note:
 In option c, the sentence talks about remembering things while playing, which is quite different from learning through playing and fun. Be careful with the meaning of the given phrase and choose correctly.
