alleryNCF 2005 says basic English proficiency can be reached in:
AAbout one year
BAbout eight years
CAbout four years
DAbout twelve years
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. About four years
1. NCF notes that every child is constitutionally guaranteed eight years of education.
2. Within this period, it should be possible to achieve basic English-language proficiency in about four years.
3. So the stated span is about four years.
**Why not the others:** One year is too short, and eight and twelve years are longer than the period NCF states.
