Question

[2]. Passage: In many classrooms the phone has become a silent rival to the teacher. A notification, even when ignored, splits attention and leaves a residue that makes the next five minutes of explanation harder to follow. Research on divided attention shows that students who keep devices face-down but within reach recall less than those who keep them out of sight altogether. The problem is not technology itself but unmanaged access: the same device that distracts can also simulate a laboratory, translate a passage, or bring an archive into a village school. Schools therefore need rules that are consistent, explained, and enforced without humiliation, combined with lessons that deliberately teach self-regulation rather than merely punishing lapses. Which inference is best supported by the passage?

1.
Communities and users have no useful role in monitoring or regulation.
2.
Outcomes improve when rules or protections are combined with understanding, participation and measurable indicators, not by appearance or punishment alone.
3.
A single strict ban solves every problem described in the passage.
4.
What cannot be measured in a photograph is unimportant for policy.
