Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is the capacity to manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills. This intelligence also involves a sense of timing and the perfection of skills through mind–body union. Athletes, dancers, surgeons, and craftspeople exhibit well-developed bodily kinesthetic intelligence.

The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, which represents the consequential legislation envisaged under Article 21A, means that every child has a right to full time elementary education of satisfactory and equitable quality in a formal school which satisfies certain essential norms and standards. So, as per the right, admission cannot be rejected for want of Transfer Certificate.

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.

CCE describes two different types of evaluations which include summative and formative assessment/evaluation.

• "Summative Evaluation", commonly known as  "Assessment of Learning" is a type of evaluation which:
  • measures, certifies, and reports the level of students' learning by assessing them at the end of the term.
  • produces an accurate description of students' potential and achievement to promote them to the next grades.
• "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.

So, it becomes clear that Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation includes both formative and summative assessments using a wide variety of strategies.

School-based assessment was introduced to ensure the holistic development of all the students.
In order to overcome the maladies and shortcomings that had crept in during the implementation of CCE causing serious malfunctioning, school-based assessment has been proposed as next-generation assessment.
It may be fourth in the sequence of one-time external (board) examination to a combination of external and internal examination to CCE and now SBA.
School-Based Assessment (SBA) may be defined as-

• Assessment that facilitates the attainment of competencies specified in terms of learning outcomes in a holistic manner during the teaching-learning process.
• Assessment embedded in the teaching and learning process within the broader educational philosophy of ‘assessment for learning’.
• Assessment of school students by school teachers in the schools.

Imitation learning mainly influences the personality of the child. Imitation is an advanced behavior whereby an individual observes and replicates another's behavior. An imitation is also a form of social learning that leads to the "development of traditions, and ultimately our culture.

प्राकृतिक विधि मातृभाषा सीखने की विधि है। इस विधि में बालक की जो मातृभाषा होती है उसे बिना मध्यस्थ बनाये उसे अन्य भाषा सीखायी जाती है अर्थात मातृभाषा की सहायता नहीं लेकर बल्कि विद्यार्थी को सीधे बार-बार मौखिक एवं लिखित अभ्यास द्वारा नयी भाषा सीखायी जाती है। इसमें क्षेत्रीय भाषा का प्रयोग भी नहीं किया जाता है।

किसी पाठ या पुस्तक को सस्वर अथवा मौनरूप से पढ़ना वाचन कहलाता है। मौन वाचन, पठन का एक प्रकार जिसमें लिखित सामग्री को बिना आवाज किए भावार्थ को समझते हुए पढ़ना शामिल होता है। इसमें नेत्र और मस्तिष्क दोनो सक्रिय होते हैं तथा यह स्वाध्याय की रुचि जागृत करने में सहायक होता है।

• आनंद और मनोरंजन प्राप्ति के उद्देश्य से लिखित सामग्री का अध्ययन करते हैं।
• सीखी हुई भाषाई ज्ञान का अभ्यास करते हैं तथा खाली समय का सदुपयोग करते हैं।
• पढ़ने की उचित गति और प्रवाह के साथ भाषा को तेजी से और बेहतर ढंग से समझते हैं।
• मुख्य रूप से साहित्य, पत्रिकाएं, उपन्यास, हास्य पुस्तकें आदि का पाठ कर सूचनाएं प्राप्त करते हैं।
• किसी अवतरण के विचार को आत्मसात करना।
• विषय वस्तु पर ध्यान केन्द्रित करना।
• गति के साथ पढ़ने की क्षमता का विकास करना।
• विषय वस्तु का अर्थ समझना।
• समय का पूर्ण लाभ उठाते हुए हिंदी के अलावा सभी विषयों का ज्ञान प्राप्त करना। 

अतः हम कह सकते  हैं कि समवेत वाचन, वैयक्तिक वाचन तथा अनुकरण वाचन मौन वाचन का प्रकार नहीं है।

भाषा एक व्यावहारिक विषय है अत: उसके अभ्यासों में इतनी संभावना होनी चाहिए कि वे बच्चों को भाषा-प्रयोग के साथ सार्थक अवसर प्रदान कर सके। प्रश्नों का स्वरूप ऐसा हो जहाँ बच्चे अपने निजी अनुभवों को साझा कर सकें। अपनी अभिव्यक्ति को सुदृढ़ बना सकें। निर्धारित एवं निश्चित उत्तरों से आगे विभिन्‍न उत्तरों वाले प्रश्नों को अभ्यासों में स्थान दिया जाना चाहिए।

• छात्र को अपनी भाषा का ऐसा ज्ञान हो कि वह भाषा प्रयोग के विभिन्न क्षेत्रो में एवं सन्दर्भो में यथोचित भाषा शैली प्रयुक्ति अवं सामाजिक या संस्थागत शिष्टाचारों से भली भाँति अवगत हो सके।

ज्ञान- बोध, इल्म, जानकारी, परिचय, विवेक, आत्मज्ञान।
विलोम शब्द- अज्ञान 
कवि ने गीतों से लेकर किताबों तक फैले ज्ञान के महत्व का वर्णन किया हैं। 

A diverse classroom refers to a learning environment where students come from different cultural, linguistic, ethnic, religious, socio-economic and/or academic backgrounds.

• The students in a diverse classroom may have different learning needs, abilities, and styles. Therefore, teaching in a diverse classroom requires teachers to have a range of instructional strategies that can cater to the diverse needs of students.

An assignment must reflect originality. The teaching of Social Sciences must adopt methods that promote creativity. This answer is correct.

Conducting surveys by students will provide them with primary information, which will be unbiased. Hence, they will understand the role of various issues from their own first-hand experience.

In 1994, the government gave the rights to fishing in the Tawa reservoir to private contractors.

• These contractors drove the local people away and threatened the ones who did not leave, by bringing in hoodlums.
• The villagers stood united and decided that it was time to set up an organisation and do something to protect their rights.
• Thus they formed the Tawa Matsya Sangh (TMS), which organised rallies and protests demanding their right to continue fishing for their livelihood.

Thus, it is clear that Tawa Matsya Sangh was fighting for the right to continue fishing for their livelihood.

Let the breadth of the rectangle = b cm
A cm² = l cm x b cm
Or, A = lb
Or, b = A/l
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b) cm
= 2(l + A /l) cm = (2l + 2A/l) cm
Thus, option (4) is correct.

When ozone levels decrease below 200 DU, the condition generally qualifies as an ozone hole.
The ozone hole is not technically a hole where no ozone is present, but is actually a region of exceptionally depleted ozone in the stratosphere over the Antarctic that happens at the beginning of Southern Hemisphere spring (August–October).

The Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) was founded at Delhi.

• Revolutionary nationalists such as Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Sukhdev and others wanted to fight against colonial rule and the rich exploiting classes through a revolution of workers and peasants.
• For this purpose, they founded the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) in 1928 at Ferozeshah Kotla in Delhi. 
• In 1928, the HRA underwent a significant transformation and was renamed the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) to reflect the socialist ideology that had taken root among its members.
• The HSRA was committed to the idea of armed revolution as a means of achieving Indian independence.
• Its members carried out a number of high-profile acts of political violence, including the assassination of British police officer John Saunders in 1928, and the bombing of the Central Legislative Assembly in Delhi in 1929.

Hence we conclude that the correct answer is Delhi.

• The British were uncomfortable with groups who moved about and did not have a fixed home.
• They wanted tribal groups or jhum cultivators to settle down and become peasant cultivators.
• Settled peasants were easier to control and administer than people who were always on the move.
• The British also wanted a regular revenue source for the state.
• So they introduced land settlements – that is, they measured the land, defined the rights of each individual to that land, and fixed the revenue demand for the state.
• Some peasants were declared landowners, others tenants.
• The tenants were to pay rent to the landowner who in turn paid revenue to the state.
• The British effort to settle jhum cultivators was not very successful.
• Settled plough cultivation is not easy in areas where water is scarce and the soil is dry.
• In fact, jhum cultivators who took to plough cultivation often suffered, since their fields did not produce good yields.
• So the jhum cultivators in north-east India insisted on continuing with their traditional practice.
• Facing widespread protests, the British had to ultimately allow them the right to carry on shifting cultivation in some parts of the forest. 

Based on the above discussion we can conclude that both the given statements (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

Height of Visakhapatnam = 45 m
Height of Mount Everest = 8848 m
Difference in the heights = 8803 m or 8.80 km
The average atmospheric lapse rate results in a temperature decrease of 3.5°F/1,000 ft (6.4°C/km) of altitude.
Average decrease in temperature = 8.80 x 6.4 = 56.32° Celsius
The temperature in Visakhapatnam was 40° Celsius.
Therefore, the temperature on Mount Everest will be 40 - 56.32 = -16.352° or -16° Celsius approx.

Continuous and comprehensive assessment is emphasised by NCF.

The categorization system known as Bloom's taxonomy is used to identify and classify the many stages of thinking, learning, and comprehending in humans.

This is the correct answer. Gender stereotyping is the practice of ascribing to an individual woman or man specific attributes, characteristics, or roles by reason only of her or his membership in the social group of women or men. The gender stereotypes in society must be addressed meaningfully, so as to provide a good message to the students.

Learning is the process of being modified, more or less permanently, by what happens in the world around us, by what we do, or by what we observe.

• How people are spread across the Earth's surface is known as the pattern of population distribution.
• More than 90 per cent of the world's population lives on about 30 per cent of the land surface.
• The distribution of population in the world is extremely uneven.
• Some areas are very crowded and some are sparely populated.
• The crowded areas are south and southeast Asia, Europe and Northeastern North America.
• Very few people live in high-latitude areas, tropical deserts, and high mountains are areas of equatorial forests.
• Sixty per cent of the world's population stays in 10 countries.
• Factors affecting the distribution of population are geographical, social, cultural and economic factors.

Thus, we can say that the above statements about the population are correct.

The Munda are an Adivasi ethnic group originated in the Chota Nagpur Plateau region of Northeast India.

The decadal growth rate in the case of India was 17.7 % compared to 21.5 % in the previous decade. The history of the growth of India's population can be divided into four distinct phases,

• The Period of Stagnant Population (1901-1921) or High Stationary Stage of Demographic Transition
• The Period of Steady Growth (1921-1951)
• The Period of Rapid High Growth (1951-1981)
• The Period of High Growth With Definite Signs of Slowing Down (1981-2011)

The concept of sustainable development holds that human societies must function and satisfy their needs without endangering the capacity of subsequent generations to satisfy their own needs.
