• Basic Structure of the Constitution
  • There is no mention of the term “Basic Structure” anywhere in the Constitution of India.
  • The idea that the Parliament cannot introduce laws that would amend the basic structure of the constitution evolved gradually over time and in many cases.
  • The idea is to preserve the nature of Indian democracy and protect the rights and liberties of the people.

  • The judgment implied that the parliament can only amend the constitution and not rewrite it. The power to amend is not the power to destroy.
  • This is the basis in Indian law in which the judiciary can strike down any amendment passed by Parliament that is in conflict with the basic structure of the Constitution.

  • It helps the learner to actively and continuously engage in learning in a non-threatening and supportive environment.
  • Effective formative assessment strategies involve asking students to answer well-thought-out, higher-order questions such as “why” and “how.” Higher-order questions require more in-depth thinking from the students and help the teacher discern the level and extent of the students' understanding.

The correct answer is Transmitting knowledge.
Explanation

• The primary objective of teaching is to transmit knowledge to students. This includes both factual knowledge and conceptual knowledge. Teachers help students to understand the world around them and to develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
• The other options are incorrect. Disciplining students is important, but it is not the primary objective of teaching. Promoting competition among students can be counterproductive, as it can lead to students feeling stressed and anxious. Encouraging creativity and innovation is important, but it is not the primary objective of teaching.

Essay type test is known as a long answer test. The main advantage of essay questions is that they can measure complex learning outcomes of higher-order learning objectives and this use is not confined to recall of facts only. The second advantage of such a question (especially extended response type) is its emphasis on the integration and application of thinking and problem-solving skills. A third advantage is its ease of construction.
Explanation

• The limitations of essay questions are not less severe.
  • The most serious limitation is the lack of objectivity and reliability. Though many a time this unreliability occurs because of the absence of clearly defined intent of questions, proper framing, a clearly defined scoring rule scheme, and proper training in scoring. Being a subjective test, it can't yield the same or nearly the same score, irrespective of the person who scores it.
  • The second limitation may be attributed to the time required for scoring. Ironically, most of the suggestions for improving the scoring of essay-type questions require more time for conscientious scoring.
  • The third limitation of such questions is the limited coverage of the subject matter or course content. Inadequate coverage makes an essay-type question ineffective for the purpose of proper evaluation.

Thus, it can be concluded that Essay questions lack objectivity and reliability.

NEP 2020 is the third education policy in the history of independent India after the policy of 1968 and the second policy of 1986.
Explanation

• "Language lessons have no correspondence with other subjects" is NOT among the fundamental principles guiding education according to India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
• NEP 2020 emphasizes the importance of integrating education across subjects, encouraging interdisciplinary learning, and breaking down the strict partitions of subjects.
• It underlines that language instruction shouldn't be standalone but should have relevance and links to understanding in other subjects, helping students better comprehend and use language as a holistic tool for learning.

Hint

• NEP 2020's principles:
  • Achieving foundational literacy and numeracy by grade 3 is one of the major goals outlined to ensure that all students reach basic proficiency levels.
  • NEP 2020 encourages integrating arts and sciences to promote holistic, multidimensional education.
  • Emphasis on conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization is a significant aspect of the new policy to foster meaningful learning.

Hence, 'language lessons have no correspondence with other subjects' is NOT among the fundamental principle guiding education according to NEP 2020.

A writing task refers to a specific assignment or activity that requires individuals to compose written text for a particular purpose or objective.
Explanation

• The best writing task to achieve this would be "Students write a letter to the principal expressing their opinion on a school-related issue".
• In this task, the audience (the principal) and the purpose (expressing opinion on a school-related issue) are clearly defined and authentic.
• Writing to an actual person about a real-life issue within their school allows students to practice and apply their writing skills in a meaningful and authentic context.
• It enhances their motivation and engagement as they feel that their voices matter and could possibly lead to real-world changes.
• In addition, this task encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills as students have to formulate their own opinions on a particular issue.

Hence, the best writing task to achieve this would be "Students write a letter to the principal expressing their opinion on a school-related issue".
​Hint

• Writing answers for chapter questions encourages comprehension but the audience isn't authentic.
• Writing a movie review could involve an authentic audience, but may lack a direct purpose.
• Writing on 'My school' may lack a clearly defined audience and purpose.

The correct answer is Biases against women continue in the workplaces.
Explanation

• Explanation: The passage discusses the significant challenges faced by women in the workforce, particularly in terms of societal and employer biases. It mentions that despite having the same educational qualifications and work experience as men, women continue to be discriminated against in workplaces due to these prejudices. This aligns with option 3, which suggests that biases against women persist in the workplace.
• Why the other options are incorrect:
  • Women are struggling to learn how to write: While the passage mentions that a large number of women in India cannot write a simple sentence, it does not suggest that women are struggling to learn how to write as a primary issue. It highlights a broader educational gap, not specifically a struggle with writing.
  • More women are studying to be graduates: The passage does discuss the high number of female graduates in India, particularly in STEM fields. However, the key focus is not on the increase in graduate numbers but on the low rate of employment among these graduates.
  • Women prefer to study through non-formal modes: The passage does not mention any preference for non-formal modes of study. It mainly focuses on the low employment rate and the challenges women face despite high levels of formal education.
• In summary, option 3 best reflects the inference from the passage, as it highlights the ongoing discrimination against women in the workplace, which is a central issue discussed in the text. Options 1, 2, and 4 do not align as closely with the main themes of the passage.

The correct answer is Way forward.
Explanation

• Explanation: The phrase "way forward" in the passage suggests a solution or action that should be taken to address the issue of the low rate of women's employment despite high education. The passage emphasizes the need to critically analyze the challenge and look for a possible way forward, indicating a call for action to improve the situation.
• Why the other options are incorrect:
  • Far from achieving: This phrase indicates a current status of being far from achieving a goal but does not suggest any action to be taken. It highlights the problem rather than offering a solution.
  • Remain true across other fields: This phrase discusses the consistency of the issue across various fields, but it does not imply any action or steps to be taken. It is a descriptive statement rather than a call to action.
  • Tops the world: This phrase simply states a fact about India’s position in producing female graduates in STEM but does not suggest any action or solution to the problem discussed in the passage.
• In summary, option 2 best represents the phrase that suggests action, as it directly refers to finding a way forward to address the challenges outlined in the passage. Options 1, 3, and 4 focus on describing the problem rather than offering a solution or action to be taken.

The correct answer is 'the project manager is the one whose ultimately accountable for the project's success.'
Explanation

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'the project manager is the one who is ultimately accountable for the project's success' should be used instead of 'the project manager is the one whose ultimately accountable for the project's success.'
• In the sentence provided, "who is" is the correct choice, not "whose."
• This is because "who is" is used to introduce a relative clause that identifies a person or entity. In this case, it refers to the project manager, who is responsible for the project's success.
• "Whose" is used to indicate possession or ownership, so it would not be appropriate in this context.

Correct Sentence: Responsible for overseeing the team's progress and delivering on key milestones, the project manager is the one who is ultimately accountable for the project's success.
