• In child development, sequencing refers to the consistent order in which certain developmental milestones or abilities are typically acquired. While the sequencing of development tends to follow a predictable pattern, the speed at which children reach these milestones can vary between individuals.
• Individual action refers to the actions and behaviors of an individual child. Each child develops at their own pace, influenced by factors such as genetics, environment, and individual characteristics. Some children may reach developmental milestones earlier or later than average, and the rate of development can vary across different areas, such as cognitive, motor, social, or emotional development.

The correct option among the given choices is Individual action.

Principle of continuity was given by Gottfried Leibnez, which states that 'Development is a never ending process'.

Teaching regularly and effectively in a class by teachers develops an interest in students in studies and it prevents them from being absent from school. The teacher must make sure that the study material used in the class is interesting for the students, and that she is able to clearly convey the idea. The involvement of students is also a must to develop interest in studies, and hence reduce absenteeism in the class.

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation refers to a school-based evaluation, which covers all aspects of school activities related to a child’s development.

• It emphasizes two-fold objectives such as continuity of evaluation and assessment of learning outcomes in a comprehensive manner.
• It covers all the domains of learning i.e. cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains.

व्याकरण के नियमों का ज्ञान , छात्रों में मौलिक वाक्य संरचना की योग्यता का विकास करता है शुद्ध रूप से लिखिए तथा बोलने के कौशल का विकास करता है।

प्राथमिक स्तर की पाठय-पुस्तक में कार्टून, भाषण और विज्ञापन आदि बच्चों के भाषा क्षमता विकास में सहायक हैं क्योंकि:

• कार्टून बच्चों में भाषा के प्रति रुचि पैदा कर उनमें आलोचनात्मक तथा चिंतनशील सोच विकसित करता है।
• विभिन्न अवधारणाओं से संबंधित भाषण बच्चों को महत्वपूर्ण तथ्यों से अवगत करा उनका भाषाई विकास करते हैं ।
• प्रासंगिक विज्ञापन पाठ के संप्रत्ययों को रंगीन चित्रों के माध्यम से दिलचस्प बनाते हैं जो बच्चों में भाषाई विकास को अंजाम देता है।

अतः कहा जा सकता है कि कार्टून, भाषण और विज्ञापन भाषा क्षमता विकास में सहायक हैं, बाधक, निरर्थक और अनुपयोगी नहीं।

• मौखिक वाचन को  
• लिखने को      
• पढ़ने को      

अतः, यही विकल्प इस प्रश्न का सही उत्तर है।

Vocabulary should be kept ungraded and this could be done by giving real situations. It provides better learning and gaining experience. Providing students with a shortlist of commonly used words would not work as there are a number of words used in day-to-day life, so a shortlist of words would not be enough.
Hence, the correct answer is 'students learning and practising in the context of real situations'.

The Bilingual technique is a method of teaching a foreign language in which the mother tongue is used in the oral manipulation of grammatical structure in bilingual patterns. When students aim to become fully bilingual in terms of language learning, this technique is considered to be a suitable one. Hence, the correct answer is the Bilingual technique.

The walls act as a protection, as they hide what is inside.

Grammar is useful to improve accuracy. It is of great importance as it helps in correct and meaningful sentence formation.

A teacher can use the above example to explain that when subject and object change positions, the meaning of the sentence changes. The subject is the person or thing doing something, and the object is having something done to it. When we change the place of subject and object in any sentence, their meaning will change accordingly.
Hence, the correct answer is 'when subject and object change positions, the meaning of the sentence changes'.

We know that if a number is divisible by another number, then it is also divisible by all the factors of that number.
Thus, the number divisible by 12 will also be divisible by all the factors of 12.
Now, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.
Among these factors, only 3 is given as an option.
Hence, the correct answer is 3.

Mathematics is the study of geometrical figures, their co-relation, and their dependency on each other. It deals with quantity, measurement, and spatial relationships.

• The National Policy of Education (1986) lays down the importance of "mathematics" as a vehicle for developing creativity.
• The teacher should use effective teaching methods of mathematics so that individualized discovery-oriented (or problem-solving) learning could be fostered.

Given that,
The internal length, breadth and height of a rectangular box are 10 cm, 8 cm and 6 cm respectively.
The volume of the cubes = 6240
As we know,
The volume of the rectangular box = length × breadth × height = 10 cm × 8 cm × 6 cm = 480 cm³
According to the question,
The total number of the boxes required = Total volume of the cubes ÷ Volume of the rectangular box = 6240/480 = 13
Hence, the total number of boxes needed to pack 6240 centimetre cubes = 13
.

Mathematics is the study of patterns, numbers, geometrical objects, data, and information. It deals with data analysis, and integration of various fields of knowledge, and involves proofs, deductive and inductive reasoning, and generalizations.

• It involves the mathematization of thoughts that develops through mathematical reasoning which consists of abstract statements and their proofs.
• In mathematics teaching, teachers should focus more on providing practical exercises and abstract knowledge to students to foster their individualized discovery-oriented learning.

Children use abstractions to perceive relationships, to see structures, to reason out things, to argue the truth or falsity of the statement. The main goal of mathematics education in schools is the 'mathematization' of a child's thinking. Clarity of thought and pursuing assumptions to logical conclusions is central to the mathematical enterprise.
As in general it increases the knowledge and also social skills in a systematic way. In science, it is also considered as the basic language as every other field is heavily dependent on mathematics. Experimentally proven that general intelligence, cognitive ability is given more priority than special ability in mathematics.
Hence, the correct answer is "All of the above".

Learning mathematics totally depends on the interest of the learner and also on the attention of the learner to the given problem.

A rubric is a tool that is used to evaluate the work of the student and it is a scoring tool for subjective assessment. So, the rubrics of assessment for the geometry lesson on points and lines can differentiate between the line, a ray and the line segment. Also, can define them separately.

Coal is different from the others. It is found at its site of deposition as a solid and relatively pure massive organic substance, whereas Petrol, paraffin wax and grease are related to each other. Petroleum is recognized as a liquid that migrates readily from its place of origin into porous reservoir rocks. Paraffin wax comes from petroleum. It is recognized as a by-product that is created when crude oil is refined. Grease, thick, oily lubricant comprises inedible lard, a petroleum-derived or synthetic oil containing a thickening agent.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Coal.'.

This is the correct option because ocean water is not fit for drinking.

Charles Darwin:

• Darwin proposed a theory of evolution called natural selection in the year 1859.
• According to it those populations which are a better fit (reproductively fit) in an environment will be selected by nature and will survive more.
• Darwin's theory of natural selection is popularly known as 'Darwinism'.
• English naturalist Charles Darwin developed the idea of natural selection after a five-year voyage to study plants, animals, and fossils in South America and on islands in the Pacific.
• Darwin conducted a sea voyage in a sailing ship called H.M.S Beagle as a part of his experiments on the theory of evolution.
• Charles Darwin became almost universally thought of as the "Father of Evolution".
• Darwin's process of natural selection has four components:
  • Variation
  • Inheritance
  • High rate of population growth
  • Differential survival and reproduction

Thus, Charles Darwin proposed the theory of biological evolution by natural selection.

The 'Khejadi' tree is found in the desert areas of Rajasthan, as it is found in desert areas it does not need much water to grow, it is a shady tree and children like to play in its shade. Hence, (I), (II) and (III) give the best explanation of the Khejadi tree.

Speed: The distance travelled by the body in unit time.
Speed = Distance/Time
Also, Time = Distance/Speed
Average Speed: Since the body does not always have the same speed, So we use the concept of average speed. It is the ratio of total distance covered to total time taken by the body.
AverageSpeed = Total Distance/Total Time

Conversion of units of speed:
From km/hr to m/s = multiply by 5/18
From m/s to km/hr = multiply by 18/5

A, B and D are the correct options because we can write only because of friction between the tip of the pen and the paper. We can walk because of the friction between our feet and the ground. We are able to stop a moving vehicle by applying brakes because of friction.

CCE stands for Continuous and Comprehensive Scheme of Evaluation. It was made compulsory in India by the Right to Education Act, 2009. This includes a wide range of activities that helps to improve teaching and learning activities among the students. Hence, all the aspects like projects, surveys explorations, observations, experimentation, anecdotal records, and portfolio are used. 
Hence, the correct answer is "All of the above".
