The main advantage of giving home assignments is to develop the habit of self-study in students.

Working independently at home trains learners to plan, read and solve on their own without constant guidance.

Keeping them busy in studies all the time treats homework as mere occupation, missing its real purpose.

Stopping them from watching TV is a negative, disciplinary aim rather than an educational advantage.

All of the above is wrong, because two of the stated aims are not genuine educational advantages.

Regular assignments build independent learning and self responsibility, key to lifelong learning skills.
