Explanation:

- The passage critiques examinations as a poor indicator of human development in education. It highlights that exams don't fully assess physical, spiritual, or even intellectual growth. The emphasis is that exams mostly measure memory capacity or cramming skill.

- Examining the options for blank No. 2:

- Quota: Relates to a fixed share or portion, doesn't fit the context of assessment in development.

- Magnitude: Refers to size or extent, not directly relevant to evaluating growth in personality development.

- Scope: Defines the range or extent, suitable in some contexts but not in evaluating detailed development.

- Measure: Directly aligns with assessing or evaluating development, making it apt for describing examination assessment.

- Correct Answer: Option 4 - measure
