UTET Paper 1 Mock Test - 1 - UTET MCQ

Children think that everything around them, including toys, is alive. This example points to a prominent characteristic of the preoperational stage called ‘animism’ by Piaget. It is a result of egocentric thinking and refers to the tendency of children to assign humanistic qualities to inanimate things.

• They believe that non-living things have desires and think, feel, and act like them.
• A logical consequence of animistic thinking is the strong emotional response towards non-living objects―talking to their toys, taking care of them, and expressing their feelings towards them. 

In our life, we try to learn new things from our family first. Then when we come into society, that leads us to learn different things from different perspectives. Social development is when we learn or develop ourselves by practising or experiencing new things from society.
Hence, the correct answer is "Social development".

• In child development, sequencing refers to the consistent order in which certain developmental milestones or abilities are typically acquired. While the sequencing of development tends to follow a predictable pattern, the speed at which children reach these milestones can vary between individuals.
• Individual action refers to the actions and behaviors of an individual child. Each child develops at their own pace, influenced by factors such as genetics, environment, and individual characteristics. Some children may reach developmental milestones earlier or later than average, and the rate of development can vary across different areas, such as cognitive, motor, social, or emotional development.

The correct option among the given choices is Individual action.

Diversity in literary terms means differences. The term diversity, when used in discourse related to people or communities or in social contexts is more specific.

• Diversity is that a group of people is made up of individuals who are different from each other in some way or the other or it means collective differences among people, that is, those differences which mark off one group of people from another.
  For example, differences in culture, language, gender, appearance (e.g. skin color, hair type) lifestyle, social and economic status, family structure, abilities, (e.g. physical, social, creative, and intellectual), values, and beliefs.
• In the classroom, it is important that the children interact with each other to minimize the effects of differences with respect to gender, religion, class, caste etc.

 Therefore, it can be concluded that one way of minimizing the effects of diversity is to allow the children to Socialize with each other.

Teaching regularly and effectively in a class by teachers develops an interest in students in studies and it prevents them from being absent from school. The teacher must make sure that the study material used in the class is interesting for the students, and that she is able to clearly convey the idea. The involvement of students is also a must to develop interest in studies, and hence reduce absenteeism in the class.

The concept of learning can be understood properly by the students if pictures of various sizes are presented by the teacher. Circles of different sizes help them to understand the way by which circles are drawn.

Given that, the area of the figure consists of five squares = 180 cm²
As we know, the area of a square = side²
According to the question, the area of five squares = 180 cm²
So, the area of one square Side² = 180/5 = 36 cm²
⇒ Side = √36
⇒ Side = 6
Side of one square = 6 cm 
Now, the perimeter of figure = 12 × 6 = 72 cm

Given that,
The internal length, breadth and height of a rectangular box are 10 cm, 8 cm and 6 cm respectively.
The volume of the cubes = 6240
As we know,
The volume of the rectangular box = length × breadth × height = 10 cm × 8 cm × 6 cm = 480 cm³
According to the question,
The total number of the boxes required = Total volume of the cubes ÷ Volume of the rectangular box = 6240/480 = 13
Hence, the total number of boxes needed to pack 6240 centimetre cubes = 13
.

Mathematics is the study of patterns, numbers, geometrical objects, data, and information. It deals with data analysis, and integration of various fields of knowledge, and involves proofs, deductive and inductive reasoning, and generalizations.

• It involves the mathematization of thoughts that develops through mathematical reasoning which consists of abstract statements and their proofs.
• In mathematics teaching, teachers should focus more on providing practical exercises and abstract knowledge to students to foster their individualized discovery-oriented learning.

This number lies between 49000 and 50000. As digit on hundreds position is 5, on the tens position the digit is 3, this means it is greater than 49500. So, it is rounded to 50000.

The logic follows here is:
The hands of a clock are at a right angle two times in an hour.

• 1 hour = 2 times (right angle)

So, the number of hours from 1 o'clock afternoon upto 10 o'clock at night = 9 hours.
Thus, the number of times the hands of a clock will be at the right angle = 9 × 2 = 18 times
Hence, the correct answer is "18".

A word problem in maths is a problem given in an ordinary language, children have to read that problem and find out through which operation they will get the answer. But, if a child is not able to recognize which operation he has to apply that means he is not able to understand the language of the word problem.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Rajan has problems in comprehending language.'

Environmental studies at the primary stage envisage exposing children to the real situations in their surroundings to help them connect and to make them sensitized towards the prevailing environmental issues.

• It not only helps children to get acquainted with their own environment but also strengthens their bond with it.

The idea behind simple experiments and demonstrations in the EVS class is to discuss ideas, record, and analyze observations on the basis of questions raised by students.
Through experiments, students can do the practical implementation, and demonstration concepts are shown practically to make students understand in the best possible way.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'To discuss ideas, record and analyze observations on the basis of questions raised by students.'
