Wood, Bruner, and Ross's (1976) idea of scaffolding parallels the work of Vygotsky. They described scaffolding as the support given to a learner who is younger by an older, more experienced adult. Vygotsky observed that adults and older peers' instructions to children become less directive across time; a process he called "scaffolding." When working with very young children, adults and older peers are naturally prone to provide a lot of structure and direction, telling children exactly what to do and how to do it. As time goes by, however, and children gain experience with problem solving on their own, adults/peers will naturally decrease the amount of prompting and direction they provide to children.

If some students cannot understand a topic because of the wide gap in their previous knowledge, the best approach to help the students is to arrange extra classes, as by only this approach can the wide gaps in their previous knowledge be filled.

Knowing that objects and people exist even when you can't see or hear them is an important part of object permanence. Jean Piaget, a child psychologist, was the first to uncover this notion, and it is a critical milestone in a baby's brain development.
The capacity of a youngster to perceive that items remain even after they are no longer visible or audible is referred to as object permanence. When an object is concealed from view, infants under a particular age are frequently distressed that it has disappeared.

• Vocabulary is acquired incidentally through indirect exposure to words and intentionally through explicit instruction in specific words and word-learning strategies.

Let the present age of Hamid = 'H' years
So, y = H + x
Or, H = y - x ...(i)
Now, age of Rani 15 years ago = (y - 15) years
Age of Hamid 15 years ago = (H - 15) years
So, (1/4) (y - 15) = (H - 15) ...(ii)
Putting the value of H as (y - x) from equation (i) into (ii), we get the following equation:
y - 15 = 4(y - x - 15) ...(iii)
Or, 3y - 4x = 45 which is exactly the same as the equation given in option (1).
Thus, option (1) is correct.

Assessment of learning or performance refers to the collection of all possible data and evidence with respect to learning of concepts. These data may be numerical or quantitative like marks or scores and qualitative data like interest in learning of the concepts, interaction capability on the concepts learned involvement in subject-related activities and several other characteristics of the student which are the possible outcomes of learning of the concepts. Assessment becomes an integral part of instruction, as it determines whether or not the goals of education are being met.
While collecting the assessment information regarding the child, the following points should be kept in mind:

• The information or data for assessment of learning can be gathered from various sources using various tools and procedures like achievement tests, the participation of students in the classroom and other activities, his/her performance on project work and other assignments, and such other various situations where the student can show his/her learning performance. So, it is important to know the sources to collect information while assessing the child.
• Information can be collected through various ways, for instance, Teacher-led assessment (using a wide range of methods like written or verbal testing, interactions with students, assignments, observation of student’s activities, etc.), Learner self-assessment (self-reflection on own performance and on others judgments), Peer assessment (Assessment of classmates on the response and performance of the learner), Computer-based assessment (using specially designed software). Thus, the teacher should clearly determine the way through which the information will be collected.
• The teacher should specify the kind of information to be collected and the purpose of the assessment. 

From the above, it is clear that all the above points are true in the context of assessment.
