Erikson's (1959) theory of psychosocial development has eight distinct stages. Like Freud, Erikson assumed that a crisis occurs at each stage of development. For Erikson (1963), these crisis are of a psychosocial nature because they involve psychological needs of the individual (i.e. psycho) conflicting with the needs of society (i.e. social).
Industry (competence) vs. Inferiority
It is the 4th stage out of eight. It is at this stage that the child's peer group will gain greater significance and will become a major source of the child's self esteem. The child now feels the need to win approval by demonstrating specific competencies that are valued by society, and begin to develop a sense of pride in their accomplishments.

Enquiry-based learning starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios—rather than simply presenting established facts or portraying a smooth path to knowledge. The process is often assisted by a facilitator.

The term development” is generally used to refer to the dynamic process by which an individual grows and changes throughout its lifespan. It is often thought of as the process of qualitative change taking place from conception to death. In this way, development is a broad term and deals with all areas including physical, motor, cognitive, physiological, social, emotional, and personality. It should be noted that developments in all these areas are interrelated. 

• Cephalo - Caudal Sequence: The direction of development is from head to limbs i.e, in a longitudinal axis called ‘cephalocaudal.
• Proximo distal Sequence: The spinal cord develops before the outer parts of the body. The child's arms develop before the hands and the hands and feet develop before the fingers and toes.  The development direction is from the center to the periphery called ‘proximodistal’.
• Locomotion Sequence: Various kinds of motions such as walking, running, jumping, swimming, etc. by the body are known as locomotion. Movement is one of the characteristic features of all living organisms. Locomotion helps us to move from one place to another.
• Bilateral Sequence: The human body plan is bilateral with symmetrical sense organs, a fast responding brain, half the body weight in muscles, a powerful heart, miles of arteries and veins, and a brain that coordinates it all.

So, we can conclude that the Proximo distal Sequence is appropriate when development proceeds from the center to the peripheral areas of the body.

Classification of students in different groups on the basis of their IQ tends to decrease their self-esteem and has no effect on their academic performance.

Constructivism is centered on the idea that human knowledge and learning are actively constructed by the teacher, not passively received from the environment. It is based on the theory of constructivism which holds that learning always builds upon the knowledge that a student already has.

Right to Education Act (RTE) is an act of the Parliament of India enacted on 4th August, 2009, which describes the modalities of the importance of free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 in India under Article 21A of the Indian Constitution.
After the implementation of RTE Act 2009, the classrooms are age-wise more homogeneous.

The best way to inculcate moral values in children is demonstration of the moral values by teachers and elders. Students have a knack of imitating elders, especially parents and teachers. Any move taken by the elder seriously affects the students learning ability. They try to imitate them, and thus the moral values are inculcated, which later on are inculcated as habit.

• In the sentence, "Their life is so full of care that they have no time to stand and stare," the part of speech of 'care' is a noun.
• Here, the word "care" refers to a state or condition of being worried or concerned. It is a noun that functions as the object of the preposition "of" and modifies the noun "life."
• If "care" were a verb, the sentence would be structured differently.
  For example, "Their life is so full of caring that they have no time to stand and stare."
  In this sentence, "caring" is a gerund (a verb form that functions as a noun) and serves as the object of the preposition "of."
• Therefore, in the original sentence, "care" is a noun that describes the quality of their life, not an action they are taking.

• The word "monotonous"  refers to something that is dull, repetitive, or lacking in variety and interest.
  Example - A long drive on a straight, flat highway can be monotonous.
• The word "Tedious" means too long, slow or tiresome.
  Example  - Manually copying a long list of names and addresses can be a tedious task.

Based on the given points, it is clear that monotonous and tedious 
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

• "Immersion" in the given passage refers to being deeply involved or fully engaged in something.
  Ex - John's immersion in his work allowed him to produce exceptional results." 
• "Involvement," means actively participating or being engaged in a particular activity or situation. 
  Ex -  School officials say they welcome parental involvement.

So, it is clear that 'immersion' and 'involvement' are similar in meaning. 
Thus, the correct answer is Option 3. 

Let's discuss the marked option first; i.e. 'Adverb':

• Adverbs are used to add more information about a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a clause or a whole sentence.
  E.g. - very tall (modifying adjective 'tall'), ended too quickly (modifying another adverb 'quickly), Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella (modifying the whole sentence).
• However (adverb): despite what has been said earlier
  Ex: This is one possible solution to the problem. However, there are others. ('however' is modifying the whole clause 'This is one possible solution to the problem')
• Similarly, in the given question sentence, 'however' adds information to the previous sentence 'Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them'.

Therefore, the correct part of speech of the asked word is 'Adverb'.
(Option 3) is the correct answer.

According to the line mentioned in the passage, This religion is considerably established, though not caused, by the formation of priestly caste which claims to mediate between the people and the being they fear and so attains a position of power.
In the given line, it is written that the religion is established by the formation of Priestly caste and the indirect meaning is a growth of the priestly caste.

Learning objectives are brief statements that describe what students will be expected to learn by the end of school year, course, unit, lesson, project, or class period. In many cases, learning objectives are the interim academic goals that teachers establish for students who are working toward meeting more comprehensive learning standards.

The correct sentence will be, 'She has been living in Chennai since 1989.' as it talks about the present. 'Had been' would have been appropriate if some other information had been given after 1989 referring to past.

Given:
The given values =  a + 4, a – 3.5, a – 2.5, a – 3, a – 2, a + 0.5, a + 5 and a – 0.5
Concept used:
If n is odd
Median = [(n + 1)/2]^th observations
If n is even
Median = [(n/2)^th + (n/2 + 1)^th observations]/2
Calculation:
a + 4, a – 3.5, a – 2.5, a – 3, a – 2, a + 0.5, a + 5 and a – 0.5
Arrange the data in ascending order
⇒ a – 3.5, a – 3, a – 2.5, a – 2, a – 0.5, a + 0.5, a + 4, a + 5
Here, the n is 8, which is even
Median =  [(n/2)^th + (n/2 + 1)^th observations]/2
⇒ [(8/2) + (8/2 + 1)/2] term
⇒ 4^th + 5^th term
⇒ [(a – 2 + a – 0.5)/2]
⇒ [(2a – 2.5)/2]
⇒ a – 1.25
∴ The median of the data set is a – 1.25.

Given:
The number of sides of a polygon = 40
Formula used:
Each interior angle of a regular polygon = [(n - 2)180°]/n
Calculation:
Each interior angle of a regular polygon = [(40 - 2) × 180°]/40
⇒ [38 × 180°]/40
⇒ 19 × 9° 
⇒ 171°
∴ Each interior angle of a regular polygon is 171°.

Given :
Base of the prism is trapezium parallel sides of trapezium are 11 cm and 15 cm
Height of the trapezium = 9 cm
Volume of the prism = 1614.6 cm³
Formula used :
Area of trapezium = (1/2) × (sum of parallel sides) × height        ------ (1)
Volume of prism = Area of the base × height         ----- (2)
Calculations :
Using equation (1), we get
Area of trapezium = (1/2) × (11 + 15) × 9
⇒ (1/2) × 26 × 9
⇒ 13 × 9 
⇒ 117 cm²
Using equation (2)
Let h be the height of the prism
⇒ Volume of prism with base as trapezium =  Base area of trapezium × height
⇒ 1614.6 = 117 × h
⇒ h = 1614.6/117
⇒ h = 13.8 cm
∴ The height (in cm) of the prism is 13.8 cm.

A goiter is a swelling in the neck resulting from an enlarged thyroid gland.

Given:
The ratio of the area of two circles = 4 : 9
Formula used:
Area of circle = πr²
And the circumference of circle = 2πr
Calculation:
Let the radius of two circles be ‘R’ and ‘r’ respectively.
(Area of 1st circle)/(Area of 2nd circle) = 4 /9
⇒ πR²/πr² =  4 /9
⇒ R²/r² =  4 /9
⇒ R/r =2/3
Now, the ratio of the circumference of two circles = 2πR/2πr
⇒ R/r
⇒ 2/3
∴ The ratio of the circumference of two circles is 2 : 3

Isotones are the elements having same number of neutrons. In ⁶C₁₃ and ⁷N₁₄, the numbers of neutrons are the same (that is 7).

Given:
The sum of the digits of the minimum number by which 1800 is multiplied to get a perfect cube number
Calculations:
1800 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 10 × 10  
To get perfect cube 
3 × 5 
so, that the number will be perfect cube 
1800 ×  5 × 3 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5
1800 × 15 = 
So, the number multiplied by 1800 to get perfect square is 15
⇒ the sum of the digits of the numbers 6

Given:
Length of the room = 13 m
The breadth of the room = 12 m 
The height of the room = 15 m
The cost of whitewashing = 9 per m²
Formula used:
Area of four wall = 2 (l + b) × h
Calculation:
Area of four wall = 2 (13 + 12) × 15
⇒ 2 × 25 × 15
⇒ 750 m²
The cost of whitewashing the four walls of the room = 750 × 9 
⇒ 6750 
∴ The cost of whitewashing the four walls of the room is Rs. 6750

Science is a cumulative and endless series of empirical observations which result in the formation of concepts & theories, with both concepts & theories being subject to modification in the light of the further empirical observation. Science is both a body of knowledge & the process of acquiring & refining knowledge.

The maximum score is 1000 for Hunter's Score Card. The weightage given to content is 250 out of 1000 or 25%. The weightage given to author's educational level is 50 out of 1000 or 5%.

The main aims of questioning in the classrooms are to create interest and curiosity, to motivate the students and to test the previous knowledge.

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
The smallest 5 digit number is 10000
When 10,000 is divided by 476, a remainder of 4 is obtained
10000 = 476 × 21 + 4
Now when (476 - 4 = 472) is added to the number, it becomes a multiple of 476 as 476 × 22 = 10472
So 10472 is smallest 5 - digit number divisible by 476

Science involves the process of finding the truth by testing and investigating with evidence gathered from the surroundings. It is also referred to as an accumulated and systematized way of learning.

• The teaching of science must promote divergent thinking, scientific attitude, and should make learners encouraged enough to individually discover and explore their world to learn in a realistic environment.
