Which of the following describes the weekly expectation Omar had to meet to justify entry to the school?

• A. To polish the school floors daily
• B. To deliver lunches to teachers
• C. To fetch water for the school once a week
• D. To study English at home every evening

Answer: (C)

The situation tests understanding of a specific duty tied to access to schooling in Omar’s camp. In the story, the only weekly expectation linked to being allowed into the school is that Omar fetch water for the school once a week. This reflects how daily life in a refugee camp is shaped by scarce resources, and schooling can be connected to contributing to community needs. The water-fetching task shows why attendance isn’t just about academics; it’s about shared responsibilities that keep the school running.

The other ideas don’t match the described arrangement: there isn’t a requirement to polish floors every day, deliver lunches to teachers, or study English at home each evening as the condition for entry. The weekly water task is the specific duty mentioned.
