Directions: Choose the correct option to fill the blank.

Many educators believe that bilingual education has proved to have definite _______ education in any one tongue.

Directions: Read the given passage and answer the question that follows by selecting the most appropriate option.

Renowned educationist, Sir Tim Brighouse, observed that an outstanding school has four factors that are visible. "Teachers talk about teaching, teachers observe each other's practice, teachers plan, organize and evaluate their work together rather than separately, and that teachers teach each other."

He continues, "One of the reasons I like, is that you can immediately see ways, in which you could make it more likely that teachers talk about teaching."

Sir Tim then encouraged schools to focus on activities that were low in effort but high in impact, describing them as "butterflies". Some examples he gave included rotating staff meetings around different classrooms with the host, at the start, describing the room layout and displays, or discussing other teaching techniques and approaches. With modern technology, teachers could observe their own lessons and then when viewing them back, decide whether they want to share them with a mentor.

The role of mentoring was vital and suggested that more schools could send teachers out in small groups, to learn from colleagues in other schools.

He said, "If this were widespread practice, if people were to attend to their butterflies, the outcome in terms of teacher morale and teacher satisfaction would be positive. We all agree that professional development is the vital ingredient."

Q. 'Low effort but high impact' in this context implies that schools

Directions: Read the passage carefully and select the best answer out of the given four alternatives.

Malnutrition affects millions of people worldwide and is responsible for one-fifth of deaths in children under the age of five. Children can also experience impaired cognitive development and stunted growth.

According to Finlay and UBC PhD student Eric Brown, malnutrition can be difficult to treat because it affects the good bacteria that live in the gut. People suffering from malnutrition often show signs of a disease known as environmental enteropathy, which is an inflammatory disorder of the small intestine and is likely caused by ingesting pathogenic fecal bacteria early in life from a contaminated environment. This shifts the balance of the original healthy bacteria in the gut and leads to poor absorption of nutrients.

The study, published in Nature Communications, explains how the research team developed a mouse model to reproduce the symptoms of environmental enteropathy and malnourishment.

"We were able to see how a malnourished diet has a strong, measurable impact on the microbes in the small intestine," said Brown. "This new model gives us the opportunity to examine the impact of malnutrition on gut microbiology and assess the role of infections."

Pathogenic bacterial infections like salmonella and E. coli are huge problems in developing countries because they are much more harmful to people suffering from malnutrition, leading to chronic diarrhea and inflammation.

"Treatments and vaccines created in developed nations and tested on healthy people often don't work in malnourished populations," said Finlay, distinguished professor at UBC's Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies. "People suffering from malnutrition respond differently."

With an animal model, Finlay said researchers will be better able to test treatments and understand how malnutrition impacts a child's development.
