Accepted Answer

1, 2 and 3

Explanation: The passage explicitly states sport should be "seen as a way of life" (validates Statement 1) and that sport can "help tackle" problems of youth being "inactive and rarely leaving the house" (validates Statement 2, addressing seclusion). The opening line acknowledges "getting jobs through a sports quota" as a reality of sport, even though it emphasizes sport offers more than this alone (validates Statement 3). However, the passage lists "time management, teamwork, coordination" as learnings from sport—these are standard corporate skills—so Statement 4 (claiming these cannot be learnt through sport) directly contradicts the passage and is invalid. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 3 are valid conclusions, making Option 4 the correct answer.
