Question

[120]. Passage: Schools often treat mental health as a crisis service, called only after a breakdown, yet everyday pressures shape it long before: heavy homework, comparison on social media, bullying, and fear of disappointing parents. Teachers are usually the first to notice withdrawal, anger or falling attendance, but they lack time and training to respond safely. A better model builds prevention into the timetable: trusted adults, peer support, physical activity, and clear referral routes that do not label a child. Early, ordinary support prevents many crises that emergency counselling alone cannot undo. The word 'referral' in the passage most nearly means:

1.
directing a person to a specialist or service for further help
2.
a decorative addition with no practical function.
3.
a sudden event that has no lasting effect.
4.
a legal punishment imposed by a court.
