Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The passage states that Alex was "a quick student and at twelve, the age limit prescribed for Moor School, he was sent to Markil Academy."
- The phrase "age limit" indicates the maximum age allowed for students to attend the school.
- Since Alex was sent to a different school *at* the age of twelve because it was the "age limit," it means he could no longer attend Moor School after reaching that age.
- Therefore, students were allowed to remain in the School only up to the age of twelve.
- Option 1) not admitted to the school before they were twelve: The passage implies children attended before twelve, as Alex was transferred at an earlier age (ten) and attended until twelve.
- Option 2) admitted to the school at the age of twelve: The passage clearly states that twelve is the age limit for *leaving*, not entering.
- Option 4) admitted to the school any time after the age of twelve: The phrase "age limit prescribed for, Moor School" at the age of twelve explicitly means students could *not* attend after reaching twelve.
