KVS TGT Science Mock Test - 6 - KVS PGT/TGT/PRT MCQ

As we know that ,
Mansion is a very big house, while hovel is a small, dingy house, castle is a large fortified residence.
Hence , hovel is an opposite word of Mansion . 

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:
Cornerstone (noun): an important quality or feature on which a particular thing depends or is based.
Crux (noun): the decisive or most important point at issue.
Premise (noun): a previous statement or proposition from which another is inferred or follows as a conclusion.
The idea here is to express that a healthy environment is the basis of a healthy climate. Thus, ‘cornerstone’ and ‘crux’ fit the blank while ‘premise’ is contextually weak.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note: Assume if we had “Someone was reading the Gita”, then active voice would be, The Gita was being read.
We can say that ,
The above given sentence is given in Passive Voice :-
Use structure “subject + auxiliary + past participle + by + object”
The Gita was being read by Sita.
Hence , option A is correct sentence .

The TCP/IP protocol used for transferring files from one machine to another is FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

FTP is a standard network protocol that enables the transfer of files over a TCP/IP network. It allows users to upload, download, and manage files on a remote server.

Here are some key points about FTP:

• FTP operates on the Application layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack.


• It uses separate control and data connections for file transfer.


• FTP supports authentication for secure file transfers.


• It provides various commands for file manipulation, such as uploading, downloading, renaming, deleting, and creating directories.


• FTP can be accessed using FTP client software, command-line interfaces, or web browsers.

Other TCP/IP protocols mentioned in the options are:

• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): Used for network management and monitoring, not file transfer.


• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): Used for sending and receiving email, not file transfer.


• RPC (Remote Procedure Call): Used for communication between programs on different computers, not specifically for file transfer.

Therefore, the correct answer is FTP (File Transfer Protocol).

One should carefully understand the difference between syllabus and curriculum as they are two important words in the field of education that are often confused as if they mean the same. Strictly speaking, they are two different words that give different meanings. 

Key PointsCurriculum:

• In education, a curriculum is broadly defined as the totality of student experiences that occur in the educational process.
• The term often refers specifically to a planned sequence of instruction, or a view of the student's experiences in terms of the educator's or school's instructional goals.
• The curriculum may incorporate the planned interaction of pupils with instructional content, materials, resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational objectives Curriculum is split into several categories: the explicit, the implicit (including the hidden), the excluded, and the extracurricular. 

Syllabus:

• A syllabus refers to the program or outline of a course of study. In other words, syllabus refers to the portions of the study prescribed in a particular subject meant for a particular course of study.
• For example, if Physics is a subject meant for a course of study called ‘material science’, then the portions of study prescribed in the subject of Physics are called a syllabus.
• A syllabus may be set out by an examination board or prepared by the tutor or instructor who teaches or controls the course and the syllabus is a part of the curriculum. 

Important Points 

What is the difference between Syllabus and Curriculum?

• The curriculum has many activities as compared to the Syllabus.
• The curriculum has a wide scope than Syllabus.
• A syllabus is descriptive and A curriculum is prescriptive or specific. 
• The syllabus is for a subject while the curriculum is for a course.
• The curriculum is a broad term and the syllabus is a part of the curriculum.

Hence, the right answer to this question is curriculum is a broad term and syllabus is a part of the curriculum.

The table below will discuss the significant characteristics of the roles of the persons listed in the question,

Characteristics of adolescent learner:

• They belong to the age group of 12-18 years
• Formal learning in combination with non-formal learning
• Belongs to the understanding level of teaching

So it is clear that the adolescent learners need a teacher who not only teaches them but can act as a counsellor in this important phase of life.

Every executive whether he deals with the people directly or indirectly is potentially in a position to lead people. He has the task of bringing them into an effective working harmony. To achieve this, there is a factor known as leadership. 

• Leadership is defined as the activity of influencing people to cooperate towards some goal that they come to find desirable.

Key PointsTeacher as a leader:

•  An important aspect of leadership is that of staff development. In this connection it is important to mention that a good leader is a good teacher
• Sharing decisions and developing leadership in other teachers to create collaborative learning communities has emerged as one of the significant roles of headteachers in recent times.
• A number of research studies have investigated the importance of building collaborative communities in school improvement and concluded that a focus on community building enhances the growth in teachers.
• The headteacher needs to demonstrate in practice, the notion of faculty as change agent otherwise s/he is likely to use her positional authority to sabotage attempts towards change. 
• In a situation when the leader encounters a certain! level of readiness in a team member, s/he will also need to develop the skill of distributing responsibilities so that the team members can effectively carry our their tasks. Collaborative team building is particularly useful in secondary schools because of the size of the staff. 

From the above-mentioned points, it is clear that both I and II are correct regarding participative functions of leadership.

Mental health problems are increasingly at a very high rate in individuals of all age-group, especially school-going children or college-going children, due to education pressure and personal problems.

• Suicide is also highly common in young children.

Key Points

• Adopting effective and appropriate teaching practices in school can reduce mental health problems
• Providing discipline education can also help in preventing mental health problems
• Reducing educational pressure is also a great initiative.
• Providing value education for the betterment of children is also useful.
• Helping children gain sex education also prevents mental health education.
• Understanding children and accepting them also prevent mental health problems

Thus, it can be concluded that option 4 is correct

According to World Health Organization (WHO), "adolescence is a phase of life between 10 to 19 years of age characterized by physical growth, emotional, psychological, and behavioral changes thus bringing about transformation from childhood to adulthood."

• These changes usually occur earlier in girls than in boys. Some of the changes are externally visible and some are internal. These changes are normal and natural and are due to the release of various hormones in both girls and boys.

Key Points

• Reed Larson & Maryse H. Richards worked around the changing life space of early adolescence. They reported a large number of emotions and heightened emotionality in adolescence
• The hormonal changes in adolescence lead to heightened emotions. They become more emotional and sensitive.

Emotional changes in adolescents reported by Reed Larson & Maryse H. Richards include:

• ​These changes include both positive emotions like love, happiness, and joy, as well as negative emotions like sadness depression, and anxiety. 
• Mood swings also occur quite frequently. Sometimes they're happy sometimes sad. This makes their behavior somewhat unpredictable.
• They cannot think rationally about any activities and become unsure about some things.
• Adolescents' sense of uniqueness makes them think that no one understands them or their feelings which makes them feel ignored.
• Adolescent fails to think clearly and it creates great frustration and stress in their lives and leads to a terrifying state.

Hence, we conclude that I, II, and III, all are the emotions displayed by adolescents.

The teaching method is a way to put theory in practice with the help of principles, pedagogy, and management strategies. It helps the teachers to plan and present the lesson coherently.

• There are various kinds of teaching methods in fashion to facilitate learning and 'Project Method' is one of them. 

Key Points

• Project teaching method is associated with W.H. Killpatrick.  
• The Project method emphasizes active learning by association and mutual co-operation of a group of peers to complete a specific project effectively.

Characteristics of Project Method:

• Relates learning with real-life.

• Promotes learners' active participation.
• Develops abstract and concrete scientific skills.

• Encourages the application of practical knowledge.
• Ensures learners' individual and collective development.

Hence, it could be concluded that the Kilpatric is associated with the Project method.

Additional Information 

 Inclusion in education means education for all children in school as it refers to the inclusion of all children in the education system, regardless of their differences and disabilities.

• ‘Locomotor Disability’ refers to a person’s inability to execute distinctive activities associated with the movement of self and manipulation of objects resulting from affliction of the musculoskeletal and/or nervous system.

Key Points Characteristics of the inclusive education:

• Inclusive education can help break the cycle of poverty and exclusion.
• It makes the curriculum flexible and easy to access the infrastructure for the students.
•  It encourages children to stay with their families and communities.
•  The school atmosphere can improve to the benefit of all the learners.
• The practice can help overcome discrimination which is widespread in every sphere of society.
• The evaluation of the students is a comprehensive way, not o a particular ability/disablility.
• No segregation of children with learning/physical disabilities, children who are socially, economically, culturally, marginalized children, gifted, creative, and linguistically disadvantaged.
• The education system will make suitable modifications to suit the needs of children.
• Students are never made to feel inadequate as curricular and co-curricular activities are modified to the requirement of specific.
• All the required support will be made available to the students in the regular classroom.
• Thus we can say that if a student has a locomotor disability that he can not easily access the infrastructure of inclusive education.​

Important PointsSome common conditions that can cause locomotor disability are

• Soft Tissues
• Muscular Dystrophies
• Dwarfism
• Spinal Injuries
• Injuries of Head
• Amputation
• Fractures.

Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.

The buoyant force experienced by the object is:- The buoyant force is in opposite direction to the weight of the object. Hence, if the object weighs 4.5 N in liquid then 0.5 N buoyant force will act on the object.

The dialysing fluid removes waste products from the blood by diffusion in artificial kidneys.

Genes located on different chromosomes will be inherited independently of each other.
