TS TET Paper 2 Mock Test - 9 (Social Science) - TS TET MCQ

Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, has made a systematic study of cognitive development in his theory that is categorized in four stages. 
According to Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory:

• Cognitive development takes place at different rates at different stages of development.
• Cognition develops through the interaction between the child and the environment.
• Piaget’s theory focuses not only on understanding how children acquire knowledge but also on understanding the nature of the child’s intelligence.

The learning of language can be understood by the explanations provided above, further understanding of the process of language development is needed. It is clear that language acquisition is not present at birth, but takes place through the development of interaction between the external world and the internal mental processes of the learner.

The primary role of the teacher should be to give plenty of opportunities to children to share their own understanding and knowledge. This only can help to realise the aims and objectives of a curriculum.

Cognitive development aims to study a child's development, especially information processing, conceptual processing, perceptual skills, language learning, and other aspects related to brain development. The process of striking a balance between adjustment and assimilation. Whereas on the other hand adaptation (a relatively stable structure) occurs when the child strikes a balance between the two processes while trying to internalize the perceived processes.

Motivation cycle is a transition of states within an organism that propels the organism towards the satisfaction of a particular need, where motivation itself is considered a hypothesised state. Option (4) is the correct answer.

Child development involves the study of the patterns of growth, change and stability that occurs from conception through adolescence and therefore its emphasis on internal and external factors for its growth. The role of environment, experience and intelligence play a major role in the development of a child.

अपारदर्शी शीट पर सामग्री को एपिस्कोप हार्डवेयर की मदद से प्रक्षेपित किया जाता है।
अपारदर्शी प्रोजेक्टर, एपिडियोस्कोप, एपिडायस्कोप या एपिस्कोप एक ऐसा उपकरण है जो ऊपर से वस्तु पर एक उज्ज्वल दीपक चमकाकर अपारदर्शी सामग्री प्रदर्शित करता है। दर्पण, प्रिज्म और/या इमेजिंग लेंस की एक प्रणाली का उपयोग सामग्री की एक छवि को देखने वाली स्क्रीन पर केंद्रित करने के लिए किया जाता है।

व्याकरण किसी भी भाषा की रीढ़ होता है। यह गर्भ है जो वाक्यों को जन्म देता है। इन वाक्यों को सही और उपयुक्त भाषण बनाने के लिए व्याकरण का उपयोग करके निषेचित किया जाता 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।
• व्याकरण के नियमों को आसान बना दिया जाता है यदि उन्हें संदर्भ में उदाहरणों का उपयोग करके दिया जाता है और संदर्भ में व्याकरण शिक्षण लक्ष्य भाषा में सटीकता प्रदान करता है।
• उदाहरणों का उपयोग करके संदर्भ में व्याकरण सीखना शिक्षार्थियों को यह देखने की अनुमति देगा कि वाक्यों में नियमों का उपयोग कैसे किया जा सकता है।
• संदर्भ में व्याकरण का अभ्यास करने का अवसर प्रदान करने से शिक्षार्थियों को यह समझने में मदद मिलेगी कि भाषा कैसे काम करती है और इससे उनके संचार कौशल में सुधार होगा।

इस प्रकार, यह निष्कर्ष निकाला जाता है कि (A) सही है, लेकिन (R) सही नहीं है।

• राजभाषा का अर्थ राजा या राज्य की भाषा है।
• वह भाषा जिसमें शासक या शासन का काम होता है। 

• उपर्युक्त पद्यांश के अनुसार अंधकार के सिमट कर बैठे होने का कारण "अभी सूर्यास्त नहीं हुआ है।"
• उपर्युक्त पद्यांश में कवि ने अंधकार  को इस तरीके से सिमटता हुआ बताया है जैसे भेड़ों का झुंड एक तरफ सिमट जाता है।

जब कोई बच्चा बिना अधिक अभ्यास के स्वाभाविक रूप से कोई भाषा सीखता है, तो उसे भाषा अर्जन कहते हैं। यह वह प्रक्रिया है जिसके द्वारा मनुष्य भाषा को समझने और समझने के साथ-साथ संवाद करने के लिए शब्दों और वाक्यों का निर्माण और उपयोग करने की क्षमता हासिल करता है। यह सर्वोत्कृष्ट मानवीय गुणों में से एक है, क्योंकि गैर-मनुष्य भाषा का उपयोग करके संवाद नहीं करते हैं।

कवि बार-बार ऐसा संकल्पबद्ध होने के लिए कहता है, 'कर शपथ, कर शपथ, कर शपथ!'
पद्यांश के अनुसार-

• ​तू न मुड़ेगा कभी कर शपथ, कर शपथ, कर शपथ
• अर्थात कवि मनुष्यों को समझाते हुए कहता है कि रुक जाने से या मुड़ जाने से लक्ष्य नहीं मिलता है।

इसलिए शपथ लेनी चाहिए कि बिना थके वह चलता ही रहेगा।

दिए गए विकल्पों मे उचित उत्तर विकल्प 2 ‘तत्पुरुष’ है।
'विद्युत-शिखा' का समास विग्रह होगा- 'विद्युत की शिखा' इसमें 'की' कारक के प्रयोग होने के कारण यह सम्बन्ध तत्पुरुष समास होगा।

पद्यांश की निम्न पंक्तियों से स्पष्ट है कि आषाढ़ के महीने का सम्बन्ध वर्षा ऋतु से होता है:-

• पानी वक्त पर आए नहीं तो तिलमिलाता है
  अगर आषाढ़ के पहले दिवस के प्रथम इस क्षण में

वर्षा ऋतु आषाढ़ से श्रावण तक रहती है। 

• The answer of this can be found in the third paragraph, where it is mentioned that "it can be difficult to keep the writing objective and neutral, especially when dealing with controversial or sensitive topics."
• This means that one of the main challenges of discursive writing is maintaining objectivity and impartiality in the writing, especially when the topic being discussed is controversial or sensitive.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

A portfolio is a tool for assessing a variety of skills not usually testable in a single setting of the traditional written paper and pencil tests. It keeps the students’ work of language use and uses it for assessing the learners’ achievement.
A collection of students' work (drawings, poems, stories, worksheets, etc.) on a variety of tasks throughout the meant for keeping a record of their performance is known as portfolio.
It provides evidence of a learner’s abilities, thoughts, and attitudes. It shows children's gradual progress and paves way for development.
It assesses team-based activities, social projects, and peer-related behavior and represents a blend of the instructional process and the evaluation process. It provides an insight into a child’s emotional, social and psychological development.
So, it could be concluded that if a teacher of class V asks her students to put their drawings, poems, stories, worksheets, and other material developed by them in that term in a specified folder, these folders of the students can be called a portfolio.

An individual with a learning disability is likely to have language difficulties.

Fatehpur Sikri is a city in the Agra District of Uttar Pradesh, India. The city was founded in 1569 by the Mughal Emperor Akbar, and served as the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1571 to 1585.

The teaching of social sciences must adopt methods that promote creativity, aesthetics, and critical perspectives, and enable children to draw relationships between past and present, to understand changes taking place in society. Role play is one such method. It is thus the most suitable method for developing an understanding of social problems.

The final wave of annexations of Indian territories occurred under Lord Dalhousie who was the Governor-General from 1848 to 1856.
He devised a policy that came to be known as the Doctrine of Lapse.
The doctrine declared that if an Indian ruler died without a male heir his kingdom would “lapse”, that is, become part of Company territory.
One kingdom after another was annexed simply by applying this doctrine:

• Satara (1848)
• Sambalpur (1850)
• Udaipur (1852)
• Nagpur (1853)
• Jhansi (1854).

Thus, we can conclude that by  applying the policy of  'Doctrine of Lapse', the British annexed the kingdoms of Satara, Udaipur and Jhansi.

To be marginalised is to be forced to occupy the sides or fringes and thus not be at the centre of things.

• In the social environment too, groups of people or communities may have the experience of being excluded.
• Their marginalisation can be because they speak a different language, follow different customs or belong to a different religious group from the majority community.
• They may also feel marginalised because they are poor, considered to be of ‘low’ social status and viewed as being less human than others.
• Sometimes, marginalised groups are viewed with hostility and fear.
• This sense of difference and exclusion leads to communities not having access to resources and opportunities and in their inability to assert their rights.
• They experience a sense of disadvantage and powerlessness vis-a-vis more powerful and dominant sections of the society; who own land, are wealthy, better educated and politically powerful.
• Thus, marginalisation is seldom experienced in one sphere.
• Economic, social, cultural and political factors work together to make certain groups in society feel marginalised.

Thus, option 4 is correct.

The Kols Rebellion of 1831-32: (4)

• The Kols were one of the tribes inhabiting the Chota Nagpur area.
• Along with the British came the moneylenders and the merchants and people lost their autonomy.
• The Kols then lost their lands to farmers from outside and also had to pay huge amounts of money in taxes. This led to many becoming bonded labourers.
• The British judicial policies also caused resentment among the Kols.
• There was an insurrection in 1831-32 which saw the Kols organize themselves and revolt against the British and the moneylenders.
• They killed many outsiders and burned houses. This armed resistance went on for two years after which it was brutally suppressed by the British with their superior weaponry.

The Santhal Rebellion of 1855: (1)

• The Santhal revolt occurred in the regions of present-day Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal against the British as well the Zamindari system from 1855 until 1856 when the movement was crushed by the British.
• The Santhals were exploited mercilessly by the landlords who charged exorbitant rates of interest which ensured that the tribals were never able to repay their loan.
• They lost their land and also were turned into bonded laborers.
• They had to suffer extortions, forceful deprivation of property, abuse, and violence, cheating in business deals, wilful trampling of their crops, etc.
• The government supported the landlords instead of helping the tribals whose grievances were genuine.
• The rebellion started in June 1855 when two brothers Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu organized 10000 Santhals and began an armed uprising.
• They killed many moneylenders and Company agents. The revolt was very intense and massive in scale.
• The revolt was violently suppressed by the British with about 15000 Santhals being killed including the two leaders.

Bastar Rebellion of 1910: (2)

• In February 1910, the rebellion started under the leadership of Gunda Dhur, a tribal leader.
• It is also called Bhumkaal Rebellion.
• It faced initial success by eliminating the British from the region but was soon suppressed by additional troops sent by the British.
• The reason was the Forest Act which alienated the tribes who were harmonious with nature until then.
• It deprived them of their rights in their land.
• If they wanted to continue living in the forest they were asked to be Begar-Unpaid Labour.
• Tribes were required to work in railway lines as laborers for sleeper works.
• Hunting and cultivation were also restricted, making the natives rise in revolt.

Warli Revolt in the 1940s: (3)
Warli Tribe:

• They are spread across Thane, Nashik, and Dhule districts of Maharashtra, Valsad district of Gujarat, Karnataka, Goa, and the Union Territories of Dadra & Nagar Haveli, and Daman & Diu.
• In 1945, it began in Zari village of Maharashtra.
• They were affected by the exploitation from the landlords and money-lenders, nearly 5,000 indentured tribals gathered and refused to work on landlords’ fields until they received 12 annas a day in wages.

Hence, 4-1-2-3 is a correct sequence. Accordingly, option A is correct.

India is a country of many diversities.

• We speak different languages, have various types of food, celebrate different festivals, practise different religions.
• India's diversity has always been recognised as a source of its strength.
• India's freedom struggle is a good example of India's diversity.
  • When the British ruled India, women and men from different cultural, religious and regional backgrounds came together to oppose them.
  • India's freedom movement had thousands of people of different backgrounds in it.
  • They worked together to decide joint actions, they went to jail together, and they found different ways to oppose the British.
  • Interestingly the British thought they could divide Indians because they were so different, and then continue to rule them.
  • But the people showed how they could be different and yet be united in their battle against the British.
• India's national anthem, composed by Rabindranath Tagore, is another expression of the unity of India.
• Our National anthem is surely an expression of national unity in the following ways:
  • It inculcates a sense of nationalism and love for one's country.
  • It was first sung in 1911, at the Congress session in Calcutta that symbolised the patriotic feeling of the people of the country bringing them together, against the British colonial rule. Later in 1950, the song was adopted as the National Anthem.
  • Composed by Rabindranath Tagore, our national anthem reflects the diversity of the country in terms of religions, languages, regions and how such a diversity forms our Motherland India.
  • It is our national anthem where people from varied backgrounds, irrespective of caste, creed, religion or sex stand up and sing in unison, paying respect and gratitude to the country.
  • It captures the very essence of our country.

From the above, it is clear that statements A, B, and C are correct.

Wants are recurring: Some wants are recurring in nature. Example: Food we require again and again.
Wants are competitive: Some wants compete with each other. We all have a limited amount of money at our disposal. Therefore, we must choose some things and reject the others. Example: Sugar and jaggery, tea and coffee.
Human wants are unlimited: Man's mind is so made that he is never completely satisfied and hence, there is no end to human wants. If one want is satisfied, another want will crop up to take its place and thus, it is a never ending cycle of want.
Wants are alternative: There are several ways of satisfying a particular want. If we feel thirsty, we can have water, juice in summer, while coffee, tea in winter. The final choice depends upon availability of money and the relative prices.
