Read the following news report to answer question.

Air Canada flights will resume on Sunday after the government ordered cabin crew to end a strike that caused hundreds of cancellations.

The Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) instructed staff to return to work and extended the collective agreement that had expired on 31 March until a new one is negotiated. Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu invoked Section 107 of the Canada Labour Code, imposing binding arbitration after more than 10,000 flight attendants walked out, leading to about 700 cancellations.

The union accused the government of “caving to corporate pressure” and reiterated demands for higher salaries and payment for ground duties. Air Canada said it had suspended all flights, including those operated by its budget arm Rouge, and warned that full normalization could take several days[...]

Hajdu stated that “stability and supply chains” had to be preserved, while the parties had been “unable to resolve their differences in a timely manner.”[...] The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) criticized the intervention as a violation of charter rights, claiming it would cause “incalculable damage” to workers’ interests.

According to the report, why did Minister Patty Hajdu impose binding arbitration?

TEXT 2
English Should Not Be Taught Like It’s Physics: Rethinking How We Teach Beginner Level Learners

Introduction
When teaching English to beginner-level learners, one of the biggest mistakes we make is treating the language like a set of scientific formulas to be memorized. In the quintessential classroom of traditional, test-focused educational systems, English is often taught as though it were physics; it’s rigid, theoretical, and abstract. Language, however, is a far cry from the aforementioned descriptions. Language is dynamic, flexible, and has a certain “feel” to it.
The problem with the “Physics” Approach
Picture this: you walk into a physics class and sit down. Immediately, all sorts of theories, equations, and vocabulary you’ve never heard before are being thrown at you without any context. Doesn’t feel good, does it? That’s how many beginner-level English learners feel. This method relies heavily on grammar drills, vocabulary lists, and some pretty unnatural textbook dialogues. Learners may know the structure of the present perfect tense, but they choke when asked, “How was your weekend?” Why? Because they’ve been trained to decode language like a formula; not use it as a tool for expression.
What language really is
Language is instinctive. We don’t learn our first language by studying grammar rules, but rather through interaction, repetition, and real-life use. Babies don’t sit down with textbooks in their lap. They listen, observe, repeat, and gradually experiment; with zero fear of making mistakes. This is how language sticks. For beginner-level learners, especially adults, we need to replicate that natural process as much as possible. The focus should shift from knowledge about the language to using the language. There should also be some emphasis on making sure the process is enjoyable.
Rethinking success
We need to redefine what success looks like in beginner English classes. It’s not about perfect grammar. It’s about confidence, connection, and the ability to navigate simple conversations. It’s about the listener’s ability to understand what is being said by the speaker and vice-versa. I remember when I’d tease my grandma for mispronouncing words (for example, she’d say “brade” instead of “blade”), and her retort would be, “You understood me though, didn’t you?!”
It’s a win if a student can say, “I like sushi. You?” If they can ask, “Where is the toilet?” when they’re pressed, they’ve got more success than someone who has 50 verbs memorized but can’t use them.
Conclusion
English is NOT physics. It’s not about solving problems on paper; it’s about expressing thoughts and being understood, building relationships and making life easier in an everchanging global world. If we want our students to thrive, as well as keep being interested in improving and using English long after moving on from our lessons together, we need to stop treating the language like a set of scientific formulas and start treating it like what it truly is: a human skill.
Let’s make the classroom a space of interaction and communication, not calculation.

Take into account that certain English words are very similar in spelling and meaning to their Brazilian Portuguese counterparts because they come from the same origin. These words are known as “cognates”. With this in mind, choose the only option that correctly lists five English real cognates present in Text 2:
