Detailed Solution for OTET Paper 2 Mock Test - 5 (Social Science) - Question 5

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) refers to a system of school-based evaluation of students that covers all aspects of students' development.

CCE was introduced by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India to evaluate the student’s development in all aspects throughout the academic year on a continuous basis.
The objective of CCE is to make evaluation an integral part of learning through diagnostic and remedial teaching.
CCE helps improve student’s performance by identifying his/her learning difficulties at regular intervals right from the beginning of the academic session and employing suitable remedial measures for enhancing their learning performance.

measures, certifies, and reports the level of students' learning by assessing them at the end of the term.

"Formative evaluation", commonly known as "Assessment for Learning" is a type of evaluation which: 
monitor the child's progress throughout the teaching-learning process and improve students' academic achievements.
diagnoses and removes the learning difficulties of students with appropriate strategies.

OTET Paper 2 Mock Test - 5 (Social Science) - Question 17

Direction: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. Some words may be highlighted for you. Pay careful attention.
It is important to first understand what Artificial Intelligence (AI) actually is. According to the definition of AI in the Oxford dictionary, Artificial Intelligence is intelligence exhibited by machines. In computer science, an ideal  "intelligent" machine is a flexible rational agent that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal. Thus, when a machine mimics a human-like behaviour e.g. learning, planning, reasoning, problem-solving, the perception of the environment, natural language processing etc., then it falls under the category of Artificial Intelligence. Despite the fact that we are counting on  Artificial  Intelligence as the next tool to revolutionize the way we live,  work and interact with each other -- which will be mostly enabled by machine-learning techniques – it remains unclear as to how these intelligent agents will help to solve more complex problems than the ones existing today (e.g. Poverty, Epidemics, climate changes) while keeping in mind that the state of the art in AI today is to intelligently recognize images and smartly playing games.
Nevertheless, if it does improve, then it will be no less than a superhuman intelligence and the question arising is that if we do not have a legal framework to prevent malicious use of this intelligence, then it might put the entire humanity on the verge of devastation too. If we also look at the present situation and who is involved in riding the waves of progress in Artificial Intelligence, then one can easily find big enterprises like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and  IBM  are the ones who are big players in the field.  The progress in AI is also bringing steady consequences e.g. eradicating jobs by the means of work automation,  one such scenario can be seen in the Industry 4.0  framework, which is nowadays in use in the automobile industry.  Industry  4.0  creates what has been called a ‘smart factory’ wherein a large number of robots take forward the whole manufacturing process with the help of cyber-physical systems,  IoT and cloud computing.

Q. What is a smart factory?

Detailed Solution for OTET Paper 2 Mock Test - 5 (Social Science) - Question 17

A large number of robots carrying out the whole manufacturing process is a smart factory.

The given passage is about Artificial Intelligence.
Let us refer to the line from the passage, " Industry  4.0  creates what has been called a ‘smart factory’ wherein a large number of robots take forward the whole manufacturing process with the help of cyber-physical systems,  IoT and cloud computing".
From the given passage we get to know that many robots carry out the whole manufacturing process with the help of cyber-physical systems. This is termed as a 'smart factory'. 

So, 'a large number of robots carrying out the whole manufacturing process​' is the correct option.
