    Solution

    Statement I: Many parents are still not willing to send their children to places with large gatherings owing to a pandemic. • This statement is a possible reason for schools adopting a hybrid model. Concerns about the ongoing pandemic and the desire to minimize the risk of exposure to the virus could lead parents to prefer online schooling or a combination of online and physical schooling. Statement II: In schools, seating capacity will not be adequate to accommodate all the enrolled students owing to the social distancing norms. • This statement is also a possible reason for schools adopting a hybrid model. Social distancing norms require schools to maintain physical distance between students, which may result in reduced seating capacity in classrooms. This limitation could necessitate a hybrid model where some students attend school physically on certain days while others participate in online classes. Therefore, both statements I and II are possible reasons behind the given information. The correct answer is option 2: "Both statements I and II are possible reasons."
