If Shyam is handicapped, he has trouble adjusting with the rest of the children in the class, then he tries to establish the adjustment in the class by bringing first place in the class. Which defense device is being adopted by Shyam?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 3

Defense mechanisms are learned and designed to tackle self-devaluation, anxiety, and hurt and operate automatically at habitual levels. They typically involve measures of self-deception and distortion. Defense mechanisms are usually exercised in combination instead of singly and quite often they are combined with task-oriented behavior. To a great extent, they are necessary to soften failure, alleviate anxiety and hurt, and protect feelings of significance adequacy, and worth. Normally, they are adjustive reactions but sometimes they seriously interfere with the effective resolution of stress. Defense mechanisms may feature in a negative or a positive form.

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 7

Which of the following is not a trait (ability) of a creative child?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 7

Creativity is a cognitive ability to produce something original by offering a fresh perspective. It is the ability possessed by people who are creative, persistent, and imaginative.
Creativity is related to divergent thinking which refers to a way of solving problems by more than one approach. It is goal-directed thinking which is unusual, novel, and useful and includes brainstorming and out-of-the-box thinking in it

  • Creative children are those who show high-performance capability in several areas such as artistic and creative work, leadership quality, keen power of observation, etc.
  • These children have divergent thinking and are very curious in nature that's why sometimes the classroom seems monotonous to them because they grab things fastly than of their age-peers.

Trait (ability) of a creative child:

  • Elaboration
  • Abstracting ability
  • Fluency & Flexibility
  • Originality & Novelty
  • Sensitivity of problems

Characteristics of Creative Children:

  • Perceive relation between impossible things.
  • Curious, extrovert, and ambitious in nature.
  • Think quickly and solve problems in a novel way.
  • Convert imaginative and original ideas into reality.
  • Use divergent and out-of-the-box thinking in different situations.
  • Try new things and risk failure in executing innovative ideas.

Accuracy refers to the ability to do anything without making any mistakes. it is the state of being precise and accurate. It is not necessary that every time the creative child will be accurate as it is natural for them also to make mistakes.
So, it could be concluded that 'Accuracy' is not a trait (ability) of a creative child.

निर्देश: नीचे दिए गए गद्यांश के बाद  प्रश्न दिए गए हैं। इस गद्यांश को ध्यानपूर्वक पढ़ें और चार विकल्पों में से प्रत्येक प्रश्न का सर्वोत्तम उत्तर चुनें।
लगभग पांच शताब्दी पूर्व पुर्तगाली इतिहासकार डोमिंग पेस ने हम्पी (विजयनगर) को स्वप्नों की नगरी कहा था। यह संगम वंश के शासकों की राजधानी थी जिन्होंने 1336 में प्राचीन हम्पी के निर्माण स्थल पर विजय नगर साम्राज्य की नींव रखी थी। लेकिन वह कृष्णदेव राय (1509-1529) थे जिन्होंने भव्य महल और मंदिरों से राजधानी को अलंकृत किया और विजयनगर साम्राज्य की सीमाओं को दूर-दूर तक फैलाया जिससे वह दक्षिण भारत का सर्वाधिक शाक्तिशाली हिन्दु साम्राज्य बना। परन्तु इस साम्राज्य की शक्ति का पतन पड़ोसी बहमई राज्यों के संघ के 1565 में संयुक्त आक्रमण से आरंभ हुआ। इस विजयनगर को परास्त करके नष्ट कर दिया गया। यह उस साम्राज्य का दुखत अंत था जो कभी अरब सागर से बंगाल की खाड़ी और दक्कन पठार से भारतीय प्रायद्वीप तक फैला था। विजयनगर के भग्नाशेष एक दूसरे पर टंगी विशाल चट्टानों की निर्जन दृश्यावली के बीच फैले हैं। दक्षिण भारत के राजनीतिक परिदृश्य में अपने उदय से पूर्व हम्पी कई शताब्दियों से एक प्रख्यात पावन स्थल था। रामायण में जैसा वर्णित है यह बाली शासित क्षेत्र किष्किन्धा का एक भाग था। इस स्थान में बाली और सुग्रीव, हनुमान, राम सीता, लक्ष्मण से जुड़ी अनेक घटनाएं घटी हैं। तुंगभद्रा नदी के पार स्थित वर्तमान एनीगोण्डी दुर्ग इस वानर साम्राज्य का प्रमुख केन्द्र था। हम्पी के चट्टानी पर्वत जैसे हेमकूट पर्वत, मातण्ग पर्वत और माल्यावंथ पर्वत का उल्लेख रामायण में मिलता है। तुंगभद्रा का प्राचीन नाम और पार्वती का नाम पम्पा है जिसने विरूपाक्ष रूपी शिव से विवाह किया था। इसी नाम पर इस नगरी का नाम पड़ा है।

Q. हम्पी साम्राज्य की शक्ति का पतन कैसे हुआ?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 12

हम्पी साम्राज्य की शक्ति का पतन संयुक्त आक्रमण से हुआ।

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 13

निर्देश: गद्यांश को पढ़कर निम्नलिखित प्रश्न में सबसे उचित विकल्प को चुनिए।
प्राचीन भारत में शिक्षा, ज्ञान प्राप्ति का सबसे बड़ा स्रोत माना जाता था। व्यक्ति के जीवन को सन्तुलित और श्रेष्ठ बनाने तथा एक नई दिशा प्रदान करने में शिक्षा का महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान था। सामाजिक बुराइयों को उसकी जड़ों से निर्मूल करने और त्रुटिपूर्ण जीवन में सुधार करने के लिए शिक्षा की नितान्त आवश्यकता थी। यह एक ऐसी व्यवस्था थी, जिसके द्वारा सम्पूर्ण जीवन ही परिवर्तित किया जा सकता था। व्यक्ति को अपने व्यक्तित्व का विकास करने, वास्तविक ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने और अपनी समस्याओं को दूर करने के लिए शिक्षा पर निर्भर होना पड़ता था। आधुनिक युग की भाँति प्राचीन भारत में भी मनुष्य के चरित्र का उत्थान शिक्षा से ही सम्भव था। सामाजिक उत्तरदायित्वों को निष्ठापूर्वक वहन करना प्रत्येक मानव का परम उद्देश्य माना जाता है। इसके लिए भी शिक्षित होना नितान्त अनिवार्य है। जीवन की वास्तविकता को समझने में शिक्षा का उल्लेखनीय योगदान रहता है। भारतीय मनीषियों ने इस ओर अपना ध्यान केन्द्रित करके शिक्षा को समाज की आधारशिला के रूप में स्वीकार किया। विद्या का स्थान किसी भी वस्तु से बहुत ऊँचा बताया गया। प्रखर बुद्धि एवं सही विवेक के लिए शिक्षा की उपयोगिता को स्वीकार किया गया। यह माना गया कि शिक्षा ही मनुष्य की व्यावहारिक कर्तव्यों का पाठ पढ़ाने और सफल नागरिक बनाने में सक्षम है। इसके माध्यम से व्यक्ति का शारीरिक, मानसिक और आत्मिक अर्थात् सर्वांगीण विकास सम्भव है। शिक्षा ने ही प्राचीन संस्कृति को संरक्षण दिया और इसके प्रसार में मदद की। विद्या का आरम्भ ‘उपनयन संस्कार’ द्वारा होता था। उपनयन संस्कार के महत्त्व पर प्रकाश डालते हुए मनुस्मृति में उल्लेख मिलता है कि गर्भाधान संस्कार द्वारा तो व्यक्ति का शरीर उत्पन्न होता है पर उपनयन संस्कार द्वारा उसका आध्यात्मिक जन्म होता है। प्राचीन काल में बच्चों को शिक्षा प्राप्त करने के लिए आचार्य के पास भेजा जाता था। शतपथ ब्राह्मण के अनुसार, जो ब्रह्मचर्य ग्रहण करता है। वह लम्बी अवधि की यज्ञावधि ग्रहण करता है। छान्दोग्योपनिषद् में उल्लेख मिलता है कि आरुणि ने अपने पुत्र श्वेतकेतु को ब्रह्मचारी रूप से वेदाध्ययन के लिए गुरु के पास जाने को प्रेरित किया था। आचार्य के पास रहते हुए ब्रह्मचारी को तप और साधना का जीवन बिताते हुए विद्याध्ययन में तल्लीन रहना पड़ता था। इस अवस्था में बालक जो ज्ञानार्जन करता था उसका लाभ उसको जीवन भर  मिलता था। गुरु गृह में निवास करते हुए विद्यार्थी समाज के निकट सम्पर्क में आता था। गुरु के लिए समिधा, जल का लाना तथा गृह-कार्य करना उसका कर्त्तव्य माना जाता था। गृहस्थ धर्म की शिक्षा के साथ-साथ वह श्रम और सेवा का पाठ पढ़ता था। शिक्षा केवल सैद्धान्तिक और पुस्तकीय न होकर जीवन की वास्तविकताओं के निकट होती थी।

Q. निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा कथन असत्य है?

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 17

Direction: Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention.
The big fuss about consensus management is an issue that boils down to a lot of noise about not much. The consensus advocates are great admirers of the Japanese management style. Consensus is what Japan is famous for. Well, I know the Japanese fairly well: They still remember Douglas MacArthur with respect, and they still bow down to their Emperor. In my dealings with them, I found that they talk a lot about consensus, but there's always one guy behind the scenes who ends up making the tough decisions. It doesn't make sense to me to think that Mr. Toyoda or Mr. Morita of Sony sits around in committee meetings and says, "We've got to get everybody in this organization, from the janitor up, to agree with this move". The Japanese believe in their workers' involvement early on in the decision-making process and in feedback from employees. And they probably listen better than we do. But you can bet that when the chips are down, the yen stops at the top guy's desk. So, we're wasting time trying toDirection: Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention.

But you can bet that when the chips are down, the yen stops at the top guy's desk. So, we're wasting time trying to emulate something I don't think really exists.
Business structures are microcosms of other structures. There were no corporations in the fifteenth century. But there were families. There were city governments, provinces, and armies. There was the Church. All of them had, for lack of a better word, a pecking order.
Why? Because that's the only way you can steer clear of anarchy. Otherwise, you'll have somebody come in one morning and tell you: "Yesterday I got tired of painting red convertibles, so today I switched to all baby-blues on my own". You'll never get anything done right that way.
What's to admire about consensus management anyway? By its very nature, it's slow. It can never be daring. There can never be real accountability - or flexibility. About the only plus that I've been able to figure out is that consensus management means consistency of direction and objectives. And so much consistency can become faceless, and that's a problem too. In any event, I don't think it can work in this country. The fun of business for entrepreneurs, big or small, lies in the free enterprise system, not in the greatest agreement by the greatest number.

Q. What is the central idea behind the passage?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 17

The author tries to convey that consensus management is impractical, especially in a free enterprise system. Even the Japanese pretend to follow it but they actually don't. No one can actually follow it in order to become a superpower.
"The Japanese believe in their workers' involvement early on in the decision-making process and in feedback from employees. And they probably listen better than we do. But you can bet that when the chips are down, the yen stops at the top guy's desk. So, we're wasting time trying to emulate something I don't think really exists."
A general agreement regarding something sounds great, but it is impossible to practise it as it would result in anarchy or a state of disorder. 
So, it can be concluded that consensus management exists more in theory than practice. The phrase 'in theory' is used to say that something seems to be true or possible as an idea but may not actually be true or possible.
Other options are rejected because Option (A) is an integral message of the passage but cannot be stated as the central idea of the passage. Option (B) and (D) are factually incorrect. 

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 18

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 18

 

A deductive lesson is a lesson where a general rule is explained first, and then examples are illustrated. Deductive learning is an instructor-centered approach to education. In this approach, learners are given a general rule, which they then apply to specific examples. 

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 19

‘Check word order ’ would come under which heading?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 19

'Check Word Order' would come under the Grammar heading. 
The ordering of the words in a sentence is called Word order. Every language has a standard word order. The standard word order in English is- Subject + Verb + Object. In order to write the proper sequence of words, we should know what is subject, verb, and object. It is important to know the sequence of words as it impacts the meaning. For example, "Sneha plays football" and "Football plays Sneha" both sentences are conveying two different meanings since the position of the subject and object are changed. The same thing will happen if we change the position of the verb, for instance: "plays football Sneha". 

  • Word order comes under Grammar because grammar deals with the structure and functions of a language. It is the study of words, their usage in a sentence, and their change of meaning in different contexts. 
  • Organization of ideas comes under the composition and speech as it deals with the ordering of ideas, incidents, events, or details in a perceptible manner in a paragraph, essay, or speech. 
  • Vocabulary and general meaning is a word stock of a language whereas story length deals with the length of a story (word count).

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 22

Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely, and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns, there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 20th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours so that it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.
The children assembled first, of course. The school was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands. Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix—the villagers pronounced this name “Dellacroy”—eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys. The girls stood aside, talking among themselves, looking over their shoulders at the boys, and the tiny children rolled in the dust or clung to the hands of their older brothers or sisters.
Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet, and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Soon the women, standing by their husbands, began to call to their children, and the children came reluctantly, having to be called four or five times. Bobby Martin ducked under his mother’s grasping hand and ran, laughing, back to the pile of stones.

"Scientific knowledge is subject to change" This given statement gives which aspect of the nature of science?

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 27

Science learners need to know not only facts/concepts but also about the processes through which this knowledge is generated. Aspects of Nature of Science:

  • Scientific knowledge is long-lasting yet tentative, that is Scientific knowledge is subject to change because we make new observations and tend to reinterpret the existing observations.
  • Empirical evidence is used to refine and support ideas in Science
  • Social and historical factors play a role in the construction of scientific knowledge
  • Laws and theories play a central role in developing scientific knowledge, yet they have different functions
  • Accurate record-keeping, peer review, and replication of experiments help to validate scientific ideas
  • Science is a creative endeavor
  • Science and Technology are not the same, but they have an impact on each other.

Hence, it can be concluded that the statement "Scientific knowledge is subject to change" means Scientific knowledge is long-lasting yet tentative.

UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 28

In _______ all the cues provided by teacher while teaching, the deductive thinking where in abstract content is differentiated by the teacher giving appropriate examples to the students.

Detailed Solution for UP TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 8 (Science and Mathematics) - Question 28

The expository Approach is also known as the Transmission Approach. In this approach, the teacher is communicating maximum information to the students in a minimum of time. This approach helps the teacher to
cover the content to be taught to the students. This approach is widely used across all subjects and different levels of education by the teacher. The main proponent of this method is David P. Ausubel.
In the expository approach all the cues provided by the teacher while teaching, the deductive thinking wherein abstract content is differentiated by the teacher giving appropriate examples to the students. The teaching Learning process is totally controlled by the teacher.
Note that:

  • In Discovery Approach some cues in the form of learning material are presented by the teacher to the students and using Inductive thinking, the students are expected to discover the concept or the generalization/rule. Therefore the teaching-learning process is partially controlled by the teacher and students are also involved to a great extent. 
  • In an Inquiry approach, the students are given a problem or a discrepant event. The students will ask the teacher questions to collect the data and they through interaction find out a satisfactory solution to a given problem or explanation of the given discrepant event. In this approach, the teaching-learning process is totally controlled by the students.
