The children are paying attention to the test schedule, showing that students are diligent.

Answer 1

The exams are huge and are labeled "more tests" and "still more tests," showing that testing is overdone.

This detail most directly supports the cartoonist’s critical view of excessive testing. (The other choices are weaker or interpret the image differently.)
