English Questions' Answers with Explanation

Read the following passage and answer questions 1-5

When it comes to dealing with violence against vulnerable groups in society, such as children, legislation is one important tool that must be enacted to deter people from resorting to violence. In Bangladesh, there are laws providing protection for children, especially girls, but these laws have often proved to be ineffective either because of an absence of stricter clauses or lack of proper implementation. These have resulted in a surge in violence in recent times. Rape, gang-rape, torture, deaths and child marriage are only a few examples of violence-related cases. Formulating appropriate mechanism for the implementation of the Children Act 2013 has become an urgent need to improve legal protection of children. We must all be sensitized to the rights of children and must unite to create an environment of zero tolerance towards violence of any sorts – sexual, physical or psychological against children through the implementation of the Act.
