TS TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 4 (Social Science) - TS TET MCQ

In pre-childhood, the tendency of children to explore new and move around greatly increases.
Pre-childhood covers the period from 2 to 6 years. It is also known as the preschool stage. The characteristics of pre-childhood are:

• Some parents feel that behavioral problems of the childhood period are more troublesome than physical care of infants.
• Some behavioral problems occur during this period such as obstinacy, stubbornness, disobedience, and antagonistic.
• It is a toy age because most of the time children are engaged with their toys. These toys are also helpful to educate the children. Toys are an important element of their play activities.
• The tendency of children to explore new and move around greatly increases.
• This is a period when a child is considered physically and mentally independent. This is also a school-going age.
• Children become more self-sufficient, and independent, and develop self-esteem.
• This is the age of foundations of social behavior. They are a more organized social life they will be required to adjust to when they enter first grade.
• Develop physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development.

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.

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.

Learning disability refers to a neurological disorder that causes cognitive impairment. Dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, etc are the most common learning disability.
Learning disability:

• Learning disability is intrinsic and due to central nervous system dysfunction.
• It is a variable state which can be addressed by appropriate comprehensible input.
• It can't be attributed to cultural deprivation as it can present in children of any culture.

A child sees that a classmate has gotten into trouble by hitting another child. They learn by observing this interaction that they should not kill others. This is a classic example of learning by observation.
Learning style refers to a range of principles that aim to take into account differences in individuals' learning. Many theories share the proposition that humans can be classified according to their 'style' of learning, but differ in how the proposed styles should be defined, classified and assessed. A general concept is that individuals differ in the way they learn.

पद्यांश के अनुसार,
"वन - वन स्वतंत्रता दीप लिए 
फिरने वाला बलवान कहाँ?"
इसलिए यह निष्कर्ष निकाला जा सकता है कि कवि 'देश के युवाओं को' जगाने के लिए कह रहा है।

व्याकरण को भाषा के सिद्धांत के रूप में परिभाषित किया गया है। हम भाषा को ध्वनि, शब्द निर्माण और संरचना से संबंधित नियम-शासित व्यवहार मानते हैं। यहां व्याकरण आकृति विज्ञान और वाक्य रचना से संबंधित नियमों का एक सबसेट है।

• किसी भाषा को सीखने में समय लगता है, भले ही वह अधिग्रहण के द्वारा ही क्यों न हो। किसी भाषा को सीखने के लिए संदर्भ की आवश्यकता होती है, उदाहरण के लिए, बच्चे उस भाषा को बोलते हैं जब उनके पास पिछला ज्ञान या अनुभव होता है।
• व्याकरणिक नियम एक भाषा उपयोगकर्ता को निर्देश देते हैं कि भाषा का सही और स्पष्ट रूप से उपयोग कैसे किया जाना चाहिए। लेकिन यह व्यापक रूप से ज्ञात है कि सटीक नियम का पालन करने के बजाय वास्तविक संदर्भ में इसका अभ्यास करने से प्रभावी भाषा सीखना होता है।

इसलिए, यह निष्कर्ष निकाला जा सकता है कि भाषा सीखने के लिए व्याकरणिक नियम महत्वपूर्ण नहीं हैं।

मनुष्य मर्यादापूर्वक जीवन व्यतीत करना चाहता है। 
गद्यांश के अनुसार:-

• यह बात तो निश्चित है कि जो मनुष्य मर्यादापूर्वक जीवन व्यतीत करना चाहता है उसके लिए वह गुण अनिवार्य है,
• जिससे आत्मनिर्भरता आती है और जिससे अपने पैरों के बल खड़ा होना आता है।

सस्वर पठन- स्वर सहित पढ़ते हुए अर्थ ग्रहण करने को सस्वर पठन कहते है। सस्वर पठन उच्चारण, स्पष्टोचारण, अनुतान और भावसहित पढ़ने के उप-शिक्षण और सुधार का बहुत ही प्रभावी साधन है। सस्वर पठन से ही बालक की उच्चारण संबंधी त्रुटियों का पता लगाया जा सकता है, त्रुटियों के निदान के बाद शिक्षक उचित उपचार करके त्रुटियों को दूर करने की कोशिश करता है।

आकलन एक संवादात्मक तथा रचनात्मक प्रक्रिया माना जाता है, जिसके द्वारा शिक्षक को यह ज्ञात होता है कि विद्यार्थी का उचित अधिगम हो रहा है अथवा नहीं।

• भाषा आकलन का अर्थ है भाषा-प्रयोग की क्षमता का आकलन।
• इसका उद्देश निदानात्मक होता है, अर्थात शिक्षण अधिगम कार्याक्रम मे सुधार करना, छात्रों व शिक्षकों को पृष्ठपोषण प्रदान करना तथा छात्रों की अधिगम संबंधी कठिनाइयों को ज्ञात करना।
• भाषा शिक्षण में आकलन का आशय उन प्रक्रियाओं से हैं जिनकी सहायता से एक शिक्षक विद्यार्थियों के भाषा संबंधी समस्त कौशलों के संबंध में शिक्षण  के दौरान एवं पाठ्यक्रम की समाप्ती पर निर्णय करता है।

खास बात यह रही कि इस वर्ष 2.23 प्रतिशत या उपरोक्त गद्यांश के इस भाग के अध्ययन से ज्ञात होता है कि इस वर्ष 2.23 प्रतिशत या 41,804 छात्रों ने 95 प्रतिशत से अधिक अंक प्राप्त किए हैं।

'समय' में 'इक' प्रत्यय जोड़ने पर शब्द बनेगा - 'सामयिक'

• "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. 

The story can be divided into four parts as there are four different events related to 'hunting', 'rain', 'the rabbit' and 'the cat'.

Some poems are included in English Readers so as to let pupils learn metre and prosody. In poetry, mettre is the basic rhythmic structure of a verse or lines in verse. The foot is the basic metrical unit that forms part of a line of verse in most Western traditions of poetry, including English accentual-syllabic verse and the quantitative metre of classical ancient Greek and Latin poetry.

The given passage is about Artificial Intelligence.

• The given word eradicating means destroy completely; put an end to.
• In option 1, Implant means to put (something) in a specified place.

So, '​Implant' is the most appropriate antonym.

• Statement (A) accurately describes the typical layout of houses in the Harappan civilization, which existed in ancient India approximately about 4700 years ago.
• Archaeological evidence suggests that Harappan houses were generally one or two storeys high and were built around a central courtyard, with rooms for living and working purposes.
• Statement (B) is also correct in that many Harappan houses had separate bathing areas, which were often located near the entrance of the house, and some had wells to provide a source of water for the household.
• The Harappans were known for their advanced system of sanitation and water management, and many of their cities and towns had sophisticated systems of public and private baths, as well as drainage systems.
• Many of these cities had covered drains, very often, drains in houses were connected to those on the streets and smaller drains led into bigger ones.
• As the drains were covered, inspection holes were provided at intervals to clean them.
• All three — houses, drains and streets — were probably planned and built at the same time.

Hence we conclude that both statements are correct.

Every country needs a government to make decisions and get things done.

• These can be decisions about where to build roads and schools, or how to reduce the price of onions when they get too expensive, or ways to increase the supply of electricity.
• The government also takes action on many social issues, for example, it has several programmes to help the poor.
• It does other important things such as running postal and railway services.

There is an abundance of planktons in the areas where the warm and cold ocean currents meet. These planktons provide nutrition to the fish. Hence, these areas have rich fishing grounds.

High tide has no relation to tourism. Infact, high tides can prove to be dangerous for visitors. So, option (3) is the correct answer.

Teaching etiquette is not an aim of Social Science.

A maloca is an ancestral long house used by the natives of the Amazon, notably in Colombia and Brazil. Each community has a maloca with its own unique characteristics. For many years, these long houses were Jesuit missionaries' objects of attack.

(A) Mica is not a renewable resource.

• Mica is a mineral that is used in a variety of industrial and electronic applications, including insulation, paint, and electronics.
• However, it is a non-renewable resource that is mined from the earth and cannot be replenished naturally.

(B) Forests are a renewable resource.

• Forests are a renewable resource because they can be replanted and regenerated through natural processes.
• When managed sustainably, forests can provide a wide range of benefits, including timber, non-timber forest products, and ecological services.

(C) Natural gas is a non-renewable resource.

• Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient plants and animals.
• It is a finite resource that cannot be replenished naturally, and its reserves are being depleted rapidly due to high demand.

(D) Soil is a renewable resource.

• Soil is formed over thousands of years through the weathering of rocks and the accumulation of organic matter.
• However, soil erosion, degradation, and contamination can lead to the loss of this non-renewable resource.

(E) Water is a renewable resource.

• Water is a renewable resource because it is replenished naturally through the water cycle.
• However, the availability and quality of water resources are becoming increasingly strained due to climate change, population growth, and pollution.

Therefore, only statements (B), (D), and (E) are examples of renewable resources, and the appropriate option is 3) Only (B), (D), and (E)

Habitat loss poses the greatest threat to species. The world's forests, swamps, plains, lakes, and other habitats continue to disappear as they are harvested for human consumption. Habitat loss is probably the greatest threat to the variety of life on this planet today. It is identified as the main threat to 85% of all species described in the IUCN's Red List. This is the correct answer.

• Soils are complex mixtures of minerals, water, air, organic matter, and countless organisms that are the decaying remains of once-living things.
• Soils are formed as a result of weathering of rocks.
• India has varied relief features, landforms, climatic realms and vegetation types.
• These have contributed to the development of various types of soils in India.
• Each soil has unique properties and characteristics.

An 'economic good' is a good or service that has a benefit (utility) to society. Also, economic goods have a degree of scarcity and therefore, an opportunity cost. This is in contrast to a 'free good' (like air, sea water) where there is no opportunity cost – but abundance. Free goods cannot be traded. So, gold is not a free good.
A 'public good' is a commodity or service that is provided without profit to all members of a society, either by the government or by a private individual or organisation. So, gold is not a public good.
'Perishable goods' are the goods which decay or spoil when kept for long. So, gold is not a perishable good either.
An 'economic good' is one which can command a price when sold, while a capital good is one that is used in producing other goods, rather than being bought by consumers.
So, gold is both an economic good and a capital good.

The tabulation chart will be the most useful in teaching the topic, since the data will be arranged in a table, and will allow better learning for students.

Social science is any field of academic study or science that examines human behavior in its social and cultural dimensions.

• Social studies is not a subject, instead functioning as a field of study that incorporates many different subjects.
• It includes the subjects of Anthropology, sociology, culture history, geography, economics, civics, and sociology.
• The field of study itself focuses on human beings and their respective relationships. With that, many of these subjects include some form of social utility that is beneficial to the subject field itself.

​Thus, we can say that Social science as a discipline is a combination of Anthropology, sociology, culture, history.

Benjamin Bloom's taxonomy is a set of three hierarchical models that refers to the classification of educational learning objectives.

• In the taxonomy, Bloom identified three domains of learning which include cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. These three domains have been divided in a way that proceeds from the simplest process to the complex.
  • Cognitive: In this domain, only those objectives are included which are concerned with the intellectual abilities and skills of the learner.
  • Affective:  Only those objectives are included that are related to the domain of interests, attitudes, and values that bring out the desirable changes in the same.
  • Conative or psychomotor: It includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill areas​. The training of physical activities is the main objective of this domain.
