TS SET Paper 1 Mock Test - 6 - TS TET MCQ

Statement I: One of the basic principles of the progressive view of teaching is that education should be life itself rather than a preparation for living. 
As John Dewey said famously, “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself”. This progressive view of education has a great influence in today’s time. 

• This viewpoint advocated that the young fellows should be given the freedom to learn according to their choices. 
• It is a ‘social need and function’ of society.
• Here social and individual aspects are mutually dependent on each other. 

Hence, Statement I is correct.
Statement II: According to the reconstructionist view of education the new social order must be 'genuinely democratic'.
Social reconstructionism is a relevant theory today. This theory talks about holistic education and developing critical thinking skills in the students.

• It focuses on experiential learning.
• It is a more radical form of progressivism.
• It believed in the new social order that must be 'genuinely democratic'.

Hence, Statement II is correct.
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are true.

The mass media is a diversified collection of media technologies that reach a large audience via mass communication. The technologies through which this communication takes place include a variety of outlets.
Limited-effects theory, originally tested in the 1940s and 1950s, considers that because people usually choose what media to interact with based on what they already believe, media exerts a negligible influence. Class-dominant theory argues that the media reflects and projects the view of a minority elite, which controls it. Culturalist theory, which was developed in the 1980s and 1990s, combines the other two theories and claims that people interact with media to create their own meanings out of the images and messages they receive. This theory states that audience members play an active, rather than passive role in relation to mass media.

Anumana, (Sanskrit: measuring along some other thing or inference) in Indian philosophy, is the second of the pramanas, or the five means of knowledge.

Media that exist in an interconnected series of communication - points are referred to as Networked media.

• Network communication, or internetworking, defines a set of protocols (that is, rules and standards) that allow application programs to talk with each other without regard to the hardware and operating systems where they are run.
• Network media refers to the communication channels used to interconnect nodes on a computer network.
• Typical examples of network media include copper coaxial cable, copper twisted-pair cables and optical fiber cables used in wired networks, and radio waves used in wireless data communications networks.
• Network media is the actual path over which an electrical signal travels as it moves from one component to another. This chapter describes the common types of network media, including twisted-pair cable, coaxial cable, fiber-optic cable, and wireless.

Central universities or union universities in India are public universities established by an Act of Parliament and are under the purview of the Department of Higher Education in the Ministry of Education. In general, universities in India are recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC).
The Central Government provides grants to the UGC and establishes Central Universities/Institutions of National Importance in the country.

• The establishment of the Central Universities was influenced by the federal character of the state polity and the need to promote national integration and achievement in quality and performance comparable to international standards.
• Under the Central Universities Act, 2009, and other statutes, the President of India shall be "the Visitor" of a central university. 
• Chancellors are appointed by the President in his capacity as Visitors.
• The VCs too are appointed by the Visitor from panels of names picked by search and selection committees formed by the Union government.
•  The President, as a Visitor, shall have the right to authorize inspections of academic and non-academic aspects of the universities and also to institute inquiries.

So the chancellor and the Visitor (president) are the titular heads with their role limited to presiding over convocations in central universities.
Thus, options B and C are correct.

Assertion A: A fallacy occurs when the middle term appears to be the reason but it is not a valid reason.

• Fallacy is the class name given to bad (illogical) arguments.
• Fallacies are errors or tricks of reasoning. 
• We call a fallacy an error of reasoning if it occurs accidentally; we call it a trick of reasoning if a speaker or writer uses it in order to deceive or manipulate his audience.
• They give you the impression that they are valid.
• There are four main categories: fallacies of relevance, induction, presumption, and ambiguity.
• A fallacy occurs when the middle term appears to be the reason but it is not a valid reason.

Thus, A is correct.
Reason R: In Indian logic, a fallacy is called hetvabhasa.

• Hetvabhasa is a Sanskrit term that means fallacy in the English language. 
• In other words, in Indian logic, a fallacy is called Hetvabhasa.
• There are five kinds of fallacies according to Nyaya school: Savyabhicāraḥ, Virudhaḥ, Satpratipakshaḥ, Asidhdhaḥ and Bādhitaḥ.
• All five fallacies are regarded as material fallacies.
• Material fallacies occur when the reasoning is unsound because of an error concerning the subject matter of the argument.
• Material fallacies are also known as fallacies of presumption.
• They are informal fallacies.
• They are committed by deductive arguments.

Thus, R is correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

'Asynchronous' means 'not existing or occurring at the same time'. Newspaper is asynchronous because it is printed first and later read.

Sound is permanent because it is product like a Jar. This is Contradictory Reason because sound and Jar are unlike entities. Also, Jar is not of Permanent Nature (self-contradictory premise). The middle term and the major term contradict each other. So, this argument is fallacy of contradictory reason.

RAM is the primary memory. RAM (Random Access Memory) is the hardware in a computing device where the operating system (OS), application programs and data in current use are kept so they can be quickly reached by the device's processor. RAM is the main memory in a computer. It is much faster to read from and write to than other kinds of storage, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD) or optical drive.

Truth and falsity are the attributes of propositions. A proposition is a sentence that is either true or false. If a proposition is true, then we can assume that its truth value is true, and if a proposition is false, we can assume its truth value is false. So, the statement can either be true or false.

UGC- CARE: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has approved a list of journals, in that the UGC has decided to establish a Consortium for Academic and Research Ethics (CARE).
The good quality Research Journals in disciplines under Social Sciences, Humanities, Languages, Arts, Culture, Indian Knowledge Systems etc., will be maintained by CARE and referred to as ‘CARE Reference List of Quality Journals’. This will be used for all academic purposes.

Mass-line communication is the way in which Mao directed the Chinese government and the Communist Party to receive ideas from the masses (the general population of workers) and create policies that would fulfill their needs.
The essential element of the mass-line is consulting the masses.

Oxygen depletion is the cause of the extinction of plants and animals in water.

• Globally, oceans have lost around 2% of dissolved oxygen since the 1950s and are expected to lose about 3–4% by the year 2100 under a business-as-usual scenario, though the scale of effect is predicted to vary regionally.
• Much of the oxygen loss is concentrated in the upper 1000m where species richness and abundance is highest.
• Ocean oxygen loss driven by excessive organic matter and growth of algae and the threats it poses to ecosystem services are documented in many regions but likely under-reported in others.
