विशेष:

"News" is always used in the singular form. Hence, it requires a singular supporting verb.
Correct Sentence- No news of firing along the border has been heard of.

The sentence indicates the contraction of skeletal muscles. Rhythmic contraction would mean a strong, regular pattern of movement or sound, while nonmetrical, arrhythmic, and unrhythmic mean the opposite.
In the above sentence, Rhythmic contraction suits the meaning of the sentence. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.

The correct word is 'who' which is a pronoun used to introduce a clause giving further information about a person or people previously mentioned.

स्पष्टीकरण -

• ‘इति + आह’ में प्रथम पद के अन्त में ‘इ’ और दूसरे पद के आरम्भ में ‘आ’ होने से यहाँ यण् सन्धि होगी।

सूत्र- इको यणचि।

स्पष्टीकरण- ‘इक्’ अर्थात ‘इ/ई’, ‘उ/ऊ’, ‘ऋ/ऋ’ और ‘लृ’ के आगे अगर कोइ भी अन्य स्वर (विजातीय) आता है, तब वहाँ यण् अर्थात् य्, व्, र्, ल् होते हैं।

नियम –

1. इ/ई + स्वर = य् + स्वर
2. उ/ऊ + स्वर = व् + स्वर
3. ऋ/ॠ + स्वर = र् + स्वर
4. लृ + स्वर = ल् + स्वर

अतः स्पष्ट है कि ‘इति + आह’ का सन्धि होकर 'इत्याह' शब्द बनेगा। (यहाँ इत्यह सही उत्तर नहीं है, क्योंकि इति + आह (इत्याह) सन्धिविच्छेद है।)

Additional Information

सन्धि:- दो वर्णों के संयोग से होने वाले परिवर्तन को सन्धि कहते हैं। जैसे-

• विद्या + आलय = विद्यालय
• रमा + ईश = रमेश
• न + एकः = नैकः
• सम्यक् + ज्ञानम् = सम्यग्ज्ञानम्

सन्धि के प्रकार:-

स्पष्टीकरण - दो या दो से अधिक शब्दों के मेल से जो नया शब्द बनता है उसे समस्त पद कहते हैं।

इस मेल की प्रक्रिया को समास कहते हैं। अर्थात परस्पर संबंध रखने वाले दो या दो से अधिक शब्दों का मेल समास कहलाता है।

विशेष संज्ञा से मुक्त समास केवल समास है। अर्थात् अव्ययीभाव, तत्पुरुष, द्वन्द्व और बहुव्रीहि के अलावा समास केवल समास है।

सूत्र स्पष्टीकरण

सह सुपा सूत्र से केवल समास समास होता है। कहीं कहीं सुबन्त का सुबन्त के साथ समास हो जाता है।

समास विग्रह - पूर्व भूतः- पूर्व अम् भूत सु- भूतपूर्वः

सूत्र - भूतपूर्वे चरट् से भूत का पूर्व प्रयोग

अतः स्पष्ट है कि 'भूतपूर्व:' केवल समास का उदाहरण है।

स्पष्टीकरण -

उक्त पद में चतुर्थी तत्पुरुष समास हैI

• सामासिक पद - पित्रर्थम्
• विग्रह - पित्रे इदम्

सूत्र - "चतुर्थी तदर्थार्थबलिहितसुखरक्षितै:"

• जिस तत्पुरुष समास में पूर्वपद चतुर्थी विभक्ति में होI चतुर्थ्यन्त पदों के साथ अर्थ, बलि, हित, सुख, रक्षित आदि पद आये हो तो वहाँ चतुर्थी तत्पुरुष समास होता हैI

अन्य उदाहरण

• गोभ्य: सुखम् = गोसुखम्
• गोभ्य: हितम् = गोहितम्
• भूतेभ्य: बलि = भूतबलि

अतः स्पष्ट है कि यहाँ पित्रे इदम् सही उत्तर है। जहाँ पित्रे शब्द चतुर्थ्यन्त पद है।

​Coal minerals are divided mainly into four types on the basis of the percentage of Carbon amount- Peat, Lignite, Bituminous and Anthracite. 

​The element found the maximum in the soil layer is Oxygen 46.8% followed by Silicon 27.2%, Calcium 3.65% and Carbon 0.6%. 

​Fats have highest calorie value per unit because of its higher rate of oxidation due to less oxygen.

Red blood cells (RBCs) or red blood corpuscles also called erythrocytes are the most common type of blood cell and he vertebrate organism’s principal means of delivering oxygen (O_2) to the body tissues-via blood flow through the circulatory system. RBCs take up oxygen in the lungs or gills and release it into tissues while squeezing through the body’s capillaries. The cytoplasm of erythrocytes is rich in haemoglobin, an iron-containing biomolecule that can bind oxygen and is responsible for the red colour of the cells. 

Hence, Option A is correct.

As we know that the low value attached to women’s household and caregiving work is not an individual or family matter.

• It is part of a larger system of inequality between men and women.
• It, therefore, has to be dealt with through actions not just at the level of the individual or the family but also by the government.

Allowing the students to make mistakes is important for them to learn problem solving skills, to be responsible and to make certain decisions on their own.
If students are instructed on everything and are not allowed to make mistakes, they may lose self confidence, stop trying new things and even become rebellious.

Factors such as rigid curriculum hinders children's success in school.

Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. An alternative conception of creativeness is that it is simply the act of making something new.

• From a scientific point of view, the products of creative thought (sometimes referred to as divergent thought) are usually considered to have both originality and appropriateness.
• Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others. Ability to generate, create, or discover new ideas, solutions, and possibilities. divergent thinking: the opposite of convergent thinking, the capacity for exploring multiple potential answers or solutions to a given question or problem (e.g., coming up with many different uses for a common object)

So, it is concluded that writing a script for role play in class is the best example of creativity.

Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek was a Dutch scientist who is credited with being the first person to observe and describe microorganisms using a microscope. He made his microscopes, which were far more powerful than any that had been made before. Van Leeuwenhoek's discoveries revolutionized our understanding of the microscopic world and laid the foundation for the field of microbiology.

Bangladesh and Pakistan were worse off, while Bihar’s Begusarai was named the most polluted metropolitan area. Ten of the top 11 polluted cities were Indian, with Lahore being the only exception. 96% of India’s population faces PM2.5 levels exceeding WHO guidelines.

The correct answer is Mercury.

• Mercury planet is the closest planet to the Sun.

​Key Points

• Mercury:
  • The smallest planet in our solar system
  • It is nearest to the Sun.
  • It's only slightly larger than Earth's Moon.

The correct answer is chemical energy.

Key Points

• The dry cell is a type of electric battery which is used for portable electrical devices.
• Electricity is produced through the dry cells from electrochemical energy. Hence, Option 1 is correct.
• A common dry cell is a zinc-carbon cell.
• The electrolyte is immobilized as a paste by a dry cell, with just enough humidity in it to allow current to flow.
• Like a wet cell, a dry cell can work without spilling in any direction, because there is no free liquid in it.
• The versatility makes it ideal for mobile devices.
• The first wet-cell batteries, in comparison, were usually fragile glass containers featuring lead rods sticking from an open-top.
• Hence, they required careful handling to prevent spillage.
• The dry-cell battery development made a significant advance in battery safety and portability.
• Batteries render electricity from chemical energy.
• Batteries consist of one or more different parts, or cells, which contain an electrolyte called a chemical.
• Every cell has two electrodes that are electrically conductive immersed in its electrolyte.
• The electrodes consist of different materials; one releases electrons into the electrolyte, and the other absorbs them.
• Once an electrical system is attached to the electrodes, an electrical current passes through it and supports its operation with electric power.
• The energy contained in the dry cell is therefore in the form of chemical energy.

Additional Information

• Thermal energy
  • It is also called heat energy 
  • It is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
  • The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
  • Thermal energy is energy that comes from a substance whose molecules and atoms are vibrating faster due to a temperature rise.
• In physical sciences, mechanical energy
  • It is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
  • It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system.
  • The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant.
• Nuclear power
  • It is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity.
  • Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay, and nuclear fusion reactions.
  • Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants.

Concept:

• Nutrition is a process by which an organism consumes and uses food materials.
• According to WHO, Nutrition is the intake of food, considered in relation to the body's dietary needs.
• There are various modes of nutrition mainly Autotrophic, Heterotrophic, Chemoautotrophic, Saprophytic,  etc.

Explanation:

• Holophytic or autotrophic nutrition: In this type of nutrition the organisms prepare their food by themselves. Eg - green plants.
• Plants prepare their food by the process called photosynthesis. 
• During photosynthesis, plants trap solar energy or light energy with the help of chloroplast present in the green leaves and convert it into Chemical energy
• A pigment called chlorophyll is present in the chloroplasts which are required in trapping sunlight
• Plants utilize Carbon dioxide and Water for the synthesis of carbohydrates during photosynthesis, oxygen is liberated as a side product
• This gaseous exchange occurs through the stomata present on the leaf surface

• These events can be demonstrated by the following equation:

  

Therefore, Plants require CO₂, Chlorophyll, Sunlight and water for autotrophic nutrition and hence the correct option will be ''All of these''.

Although no certain conclusion can be derived because it is not given whether X was hit by a bullet or not, yet one of the two conclusions must be true.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is defined as a diverse set of technological tools and resources used to communicate, create, disseminate, store, and manage information.

Key PointsAdvantages of ICT-

• It promotes multi-sensory learning that engages more than one sense at a time. The lessons can be presented to the students in a variety of methods that will best engage them in the material and excite their brains.
• Information and communication technologies (ICT), when made accessible and available, enable children with disabilities to fully and effectively engage, on an equal basis, in all facets of society and development.
• It allows students and teachers to access information (books, articles, blogs, etc.). Students can learn about their subjects by watching videos, pictures, and listening to audio content.

Hence, it is clear that ICT increases the communication gap between children and parents.

Hint

• ICT has increased the communication gap between child and parent as they become engrossed in various forms of technology, there may be less time for face-to-face interaction and developing close bonds among family members.

ICT (Information and communication technology) mediated teaching-learning refers to instruction via a technological channel such as television, radio or a computer.

• It creates learning as the ability to retain, synthesize, and apply conceptually complex information in meaningful ways. It encourages learning by doing. It enhances the learning environment and requires students to develop critical thinking research and evaluation skills.

Key Points

Dillemans, et. al. (1998) have identified six basic dimensions of an ICT-mediated teaching learning-

1. Information modality: This dimension refers to the ability of the available technology in an ICT-mediated teaching-learning environment to transmit verbal and nonverbal information.
2. Linearity: This dimension talks about the technologies which can be used to transmit information in a linear as well as nonlinear way in the environment.
3. Type of interaction: An effective ICT-mediated teaching-learning environment facilitates all types of interactions human-human as well as human-machine interaction.
4. Number of participants: As per the availability of resources in an ICT-mediated teaching-learning environment, the number of participants in a session is also an important issue. It depends upon the technology in the institution as well as learners and teachers. Their interaction through ICT-mediated teaching learning can be one alone, one to many, and many to many.
5. Time/place dependency: It talks about the ability of the technology to transmit information at different times and places. It may be synchronous or asynchronous or both
6. Immediacy: In an ICT-mediated teaching-learning environment, the amount of time for sending a message and getting a response to this message is improving day by day with advancements in technologies and their convergence.

Hence, we conclude that according to Dillemans, et. al., there are six dimensions of an ICT-mediated teaching-learning environment.

The term life skills have become an important concept in the discussions on learning and development and has been used by different organizations with different objectives.

Key PointsIn essence, we can say that life skills are:

• Psychosocial abilities: that empowers individuals to connect with self as well as others and develop a healthy lifestyle and positive behaviors.
• Innumerable life skills are needed to function as complete individuals and as responsible members of social and political groups like the family/household, community/society/workplace. market, state, and likewise institutions.
• Contextual: They may vary according to time and space. It is not necessary that skills relevant at one period of time may also be useful for all times. The same will apply to spatial dimensions which would vary across cultures and regions.
• Methods and techniques that will make the child have a positive outlook and think and act with sensitivity, logic, and rationality.
• Best learned through interactive, learner-centered methods.
• Acquired through a social learning process of observation, practice, and application.
• Practical in nature and are based on experimental learning.

Thus, it can be concluded that life skills development is the lifelong process that helps individuals to grow and mature.

Micro-teaching:

• Micro-teaching is defined as teaching in miniature where it is scaled down in size of the class time and task with a focus on a specific teaching skill.
• The concept of micro-teaching is a training concept that can be applied at various pre-service and in-service stages in the professional development of teachers.
• Microteaching helps to promote real-time teaching experiences.
• Microteaching sessions involve one student teacher, the class instructor (or school supervisor who provides feedback to the student-teacher), and a small group of peers.
• These sessions allow student teachers to practice and polish their teaching techniques in a simulated environment before putting them into practice with students.

Important Points

There are six steps of micro-teaching which are as follows:

Therefore, a very wide and large topic does not apply to Micro-teaching.
