बारहसिंगा हिरण प्रजाति का बड़े आकार का शानदार वन्य पशु है। इस वन्य जीव को उत्तरप्रदेश की सरकार ने अपना राज्य पशु घोषित कर रखा है। दुर्लभ वन्य जीव होने के कारण इसे संकटग्रस्त सूची में रखा गया है। बारहसिंगा दुधवा राष्ट्र्रीय उद्यान, हस्तिनापुर अभ्यारण्य, असम के काजीरंगा राष्ट्रीय उद्यान और बंगाल के सुंदरवनों में भी पाया जाता है। मध्यप्रदेश के कान्हा राष्ट्रीय उद्यान में भी बारहसिंगा की दूसरी प्रजाति पाई जाती है। बारहसिंगा की कंधे तक की ऊँचाई 135 सेंटीमीटर होती है। इसका वजन लगभग 170 - 180 किलोग्राम तक होता है। यह प्रायः नम दलदली घास वाले क्षेत्रो में रहना पसंद करते है। बारहसिंगा प्रायः समूहों में पाए जाते है। इसके सींग 75 सेंटीमीटर लम्बे होते है। अधिकांश बारहसिंगो के सींगों में 10 से 14 तक शाखाएं होती है। अधिकतम 20 शाखाएँ वाले बारहसिंगा भी देखे गये हैं।

  • यह प्रायः नम दलदली घास वाले क्षेत्रों में रहना पसंद करते हैं।
OTET Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 (Social Science) - Question 5

दिशानिर्देश: नीचे दिए गए गद्यांश को ध्यानपूर्वक अध्ययन करे और इस पर आधारित प्रश्नो के उत्तर दे:
केंद्रीय माध्यमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड (सीबीएसई) 10वीं कक्षा के अच्छे परिणाम से जहां खुशी का संचार हुआ है, वहीं इससे अन्य छात्रों को बेहतर पढ़ाई की प्रेरणा भी मिली है। कुल 91.46 प्रतिशत छात्र परीक्षा में सफल हुए हैं। पिछले वर्ष की तुलना में इस बार 0.36 प्रतिशत बेहतर नतीजे रहे हैं। अब यह आश्चर्य की बात नहीं कि लड़कियों ने 93.31 के पास प्रतिशत के साथ लड़कों को पछाड़ दिया है। लड़कों के पास होने का प्रतिशत 90.14 रहा है। खास बात यह रही कि इस वर्ष 2.23 प्रतिशत या 41,804 छात्रों ने 95 प्रतिशत से अधिक अंक प्राप्त किए हैं। यह बहुत सकारात्मक बात है कि 18 लाख विद्यार्थियों के बीच 1.84 लाख से अधिक ने 90 प्रतिशत से अधिक अंक हासिल किए हैं। मोटे तौर पर यह कहा जा सकता है कि 10 में से एक विद्यार्थी को 90 प्रतिशत से अधिक अंक हासिल होने लगे हैं, यह कहीं न कहीं बेहतर होती शिक्षा की ओर एक इशारा है।
एक अच्छी बात यह रही है कि सीबीएसई ने कोरोना वायरस के कारण उत्पन्न परिस्थितियों को देखते हुए इस वर्ष 12वीं और 10वीं, दोनों कक्षाओं के टॉपरों का एलान नहीं किया है। शिक्षाविद भी मानते हैं कि टॉपरों के एलान से लाभ कम और नुकसान ज्यादा होते हैं। आज छात्रों के बीच चिंता का माहौल है, वे घरों में रहने को विवश हैं, उनमें अकेलापन, अवसाद और अन्य तरह की समस्याएं बढ़ी हैं। अत: आज शिक्षा बोर्ड को ऐसी कोई पहल नहीं करनी चाहिए कि छात्रों की बड़ी जमात में किसी तरह का असंतोष, दुख या अपमान पैदा हो। कोरोना के इस दौर में हमें यह भी ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि 10वीं की परीक्षा ढंग से नहीं हो पाई है। अनेक विषयों की परीक्षा कोरोना के कारण स्थगित करनी पड़ी है। परीक्षा फिर से लेने के प्रयास भी सफल नहीं रहे हैं। ऐसे में, विद्यार्थी जिन विषयों की परीक्षा नहीं दे पाए हैं, उनमें उन्हें आनुपातिक रूप से ही अंक दिए गए हैं। इसलिए यह कहना गलत नहीं होगा कि परिणाम संपूर्ण नहीं है। यदि कोई छात्र परीक्षा रद्द होने से पहले तीन से अधिक विषयों की परीक्षा दे चुका था, तो उसे तीन उच्चतम प्राप्त अंकों के हिसाब से बाकी विषयों में अंक दिए गए हैं। इस व्यवस्था में उन छात्रों के साथ अच्छा नहीं हुआ है, जो तीन से कम विषयों की परीक्षा दे पाए थे। ऐसे विद्यार्थियों के परिणाम की गणना में आंतरिक, व्यावहारिक और परियोजना मूल्यांकन के अंकों पर भी गौर किया गया है।
बेशक, परीक्षा परिणाम सामने हैं, लेकिन कामचलाऊ ही हैं। उम्मीद करनी चाहिए कि कोरोना काबू में आएगा और दोबारा इस तरीके से मूल्यांकन की जरूरत नहीं रह जाएगी। गुणवत्तापूर्ण शिक्षा के लिए भी सामान्य शिक्षा, परीक्षा और परिणाम की बहाली बहुत जरूरी है। फिर भी एनसीईआरटी और सीबीएसई जैसी संस्थाओं को ऑनलाइन परीक्षा के पुख्ता तरीकों पर भी काम करना होगा। आने वाले दिनों में जो परीक्षाएं होंगी, उनका ढांचा कैसा हो? कैसे विद्यार्थियों का सही मूल्यांकन हो सके? इसके पैमाने चाक-चौबंद करने होंगे। आगे शिक्षा की चुनौतियां बहुत बढ़ रही हैं। शिक्षा की गुणवत्ता बनाए रखने के लिए विशेष प्रयास करने ही होंगे। दसवीं और बारहवीं की अगली परीक्षाओं में अब छह-सात महीने ही बचे हैं। सुनिश्चित करना होगा कि आगामी परीक्षाओं में सफल विद्यार्थियों की संख्या में कोई कमी न आने पाए।

Q. केंद्रीय माध्यमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड के इस वर्ष के परिणाम में कितने प्रतिशत बच्चों ने 95 % से ज्यादा अंक अर्जित किये?

OTET Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 (Social Science) - Question 7

The digital revolution has indisputably reshaped our society, permeating virtually every facet of life. We live in a hyperconnected era, where the boundary between the real and virtual worlds is increasingly blurred. Though its benefits are myriad, it's worth pausing to consider the potential downsides of this digital immersion.
On the one hand, technology has democratized information, fostering global connectivity and accessibility. The internet, smartphones, and various digital platforms have empowered us with the ability to learn, communicate, and collaborate like never before. They have catapulted us into an era of unprecedented convenience and opportunity, where we can virtually traverse the globe with a simple click.
Yet, this digital immersion also comes with pitfalls. The unending influx of information can overwhelm our cognitive capabilities, leading to information overload. The constant bombardment of updates, notifications, and messages can disrupt our focus, leading to a condition known as "digital fatigue." Further, it's alarming to see the increasing prevalence of cyberbullying, privacy breaches, and disinformation campaigns, which have severe consequences on our societal harmony.
The digital revolution is a double-edged sword. It grants us unparalleled access to knowledge, yet it can also breed distraction, misinformation, and anxiety. We need to strike a balance, leveraging the best of what technology offers while mitigating its downsides. As we continue to navigate this digital landscape, it's crucial to remember that technology is merely a tool—it's how we use it that ultimately defines its impact.

Directions: Read the given poem and answer the question that follows by selecting the most appropriate option.
As I Watch You Grow
Do you know how much you mean to me?
As you grow into what you will be.
You came from within, from just beneath my heart.
It's there you'll always be, though your own life will now start.
You're growing so fast it sends me a whirl,
With misty eyes I ask, Where's my little girl?
I know sometimes to you I seem harsh and so unfair,
But one day you will see, I taught you well because I care.
The next few years will so quickly fly,
With laughter and joy, mixed with a few tears to cry.
As you begin your growth to womanhood, this fact you must know,
You'll always be my source of pride, no matter where you go.
You must stand up tall and proud, within you feel no fear,
For all you dreams and goals sit before you very near.
With God's love in your heart and the world by its tail,
You'll always be my winner, and victory will prevail.
For you this poem was written, with help from above,
To tell you in a rhythm of your Mother's heartfelt love!
-KayTheese

OTET Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 (Social Science) - Question 10

Direction: Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
She was one of those pretty and charming girls born, as if by an error of fate, into a family of clerks. She had no dowry, no expectations, no means of becoming known, understood, loved, or wedded by a man of wealth and distinction. So she let herself be married to a minor official at the Ministry of Education.
She dressed plainly because she had never been able to afford anything better, but she was as unhappy as if she had once been wealthy. Women don't belong to a caste or class; their beauty, grace, and natural charm take the place of birth and family. Natural delicacy, instinctive elegance, and a quick wit determine their place in society and make the daughters of commoners the equals of the very finest ladies.
She suffered endlessly, feeling she was entitled to all the delicacies and luxuries of life. She suffered because of the poorness of her house as she looked at the dirty walls, the worn-out chairs, and the ugly curtains. All these things that another woman of her class would not even have noticed tormented her and made her resentful. The sight of the little Brenton girl who did her housework filled her with terrible regrets and hopeless fantasies. She dreamed of silent antechambers hung with Oriental tapestries, lit from above by torches in bronze holders, while two tall footmen in knee-length breeches napped in huge armchairs, sleepy from the stove's oppressive warmth. She dreamed of vast living rooms furnished in rare old silks, elegant furniture loaded with priceless ornaments, and inviting smaller rooms, perfumed, made for afternoon chats with close friends - famous, sought after men, who all women envy and desire.
When she sat down to dinner at a round table covered with a three-day-old cloth opposite her husband who, lifting the lid off the soup, shouted excitedly, "Ah! Beef stew! What could be better," she dreamed of fine dinners, of shining silverware, of tapestries which peopled the walls with figures from another time and strange birds in fairy forests; she dreamed of delicious dishes served on wonderful plates, of whispered gallantries listened to with an inscrutable smile as one ate the pink flesh of a trout or the wings of a quail.

Q. Which of the following is false?

Detailed Solution for OTET Paper 2 Mock Test - 2 (Social Science) - Question 10

The last line of the first paragraph states, "So she let herself be married to a minor official at the Ministry of Education."
From the above line, it is clear that she was married to a minor official instead major, and Thus, option (B) is false.
