What task did Salan offer Omar to perform in order to attend his private school to learn English?

• A. To wash the floors of the school
• B. To tutor younger students in math
• C. To fetch water for the school once a week
• D. To carry messages between classes

Answer: (C)

The situation tests how education can be accessed when resources are limited and people trade services to make learning possible. Salan’s offer to Omar is to attend his private school to learn English in exchange for a practical task the school needs—fetching water for the school once a week. In a setting where water is scarce and every contribution matters, this arrangement turns Omar’s effort into a tangible way to get education, showing his determination to learn and the community’s reliance on each small act of help to keep the school running. It highlights why learning English is so valued—it's a path to better opportunities—and how, in refugee contexts, education often comes with negotiating and contributing to daily life. The other chores mentioned in different contexts don’t match the specific trade Salan offers or the camp’s realities in this moment.
