In the triarchic theory, three types of intelligence proposed by Robert Sternberg are: Analytical, Creative and Practical.

Useful strategies for teaching students with mental retardation include the following:

• Teach one concept or activity component at a time
• Teach one step at a time to help support memorisation and sequencing
• Teach students in small groups, or one-on-one if possible
• Always provide multiple opportunities to practice skills in a number of different settings
• Use physical and verbal prompting to guide correct responses, and provide specific verbal praise to reinforce these responses

Determinants of Individual differences in human beings relate to both heredity and environment interacting together. By heredity we mean the influence of factors inherent in the child himself from the time he is conceived. Environment also plays a key role in the individual's development.

One of the oldest arguments in the history of psychology is the 'nature vs nurture' debate. Each of these sides has good point that it is really hard to decide whether a person's development is predisposed in his DNA, or a majority of it is influenced by his life's experiences and his environment. 

Schools should cater to individual differences to understand why students are able or unable to learn. The objective of education is to provide the fullest possible development for each learner. Education fosters morality, creativity, innovativeness, imaginative power, thinking ability of critical analysis, etc. Everyone has the right to education and every school should be aware of this fact. They should find suitable ways for students to learn better.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Understand why students are able or unable to learn.'

Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation is a school-based evaluation system. It promotes orderly learning and development. It includes regularity in assessment, diagnosis of learning gaps, retesting, etc. So, CCE emphasizes how learning can be observed, recorded, and improved upon. It is a 'continuous' process after each course over the entire session. 'Comprehensive' means the scheme follows both scholastic and co-scholastic aspects of students.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'How learning can be observed, recorded and improved upon.'

According to Piaget's theory, children actively construct their understanding of the world through their experiences and interactions with the environment.

Socialization is an important process for the functioning and continuation of society. It is a process of learning the rules, habits, and values of a group to which a person belongs whether it is family, friends, colleagues, or any other group.

Hence, Option D is correct.

Hence, Option D is correct.

Twenty Three Fiftieths

Firstly, We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC,

Given that , AB = AC and ∠B = 35°
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 35°
Now, ∠ADB = 90°
In ∆ADB , ∠ BAD + ∠ ABD + ∠ ADB = 180°
⇒ ∠ BAD + 90° + 35° = 180°
∴ ∠BAD = 55°

A ‘green’ building is a building that, in its design, construction or operation, reduces or eliminates negative impacts, and can create positive impacts, on our climate and natural environment. Green buildings preserve precious natural resources and improve our quality of life.

There are a number of features that can make a building ‘green’. These include: 

• Efficient use of energy, water, and other resources
• Use of renewable energy, such as solar energy
• Pollution and waste reduction measures, and the enabling of re-use and recycling
• Good indoor environmental air quality
• Use of materials that are non-toxic, ethical and sustainable
• Consideration of the environment in design, construction, and operation
• Consideration of the quality of life of occupants in design, construction, and operation
• A design that enables adaptation to a changing environment

Any building can be a green building, whether it’s a home, an office, a school, a hospital, a community center, or any other type of structure, provided it includes features listed above.

However, it is worth noting that not all green buildings are – and need to be - the same. Different countries and regions have a variety of characteristics such as distinctive climatic conditions, unique cultures, and traditions, diverse building types and ages, or wide-ranging environmental, economic and social priorities – all of which shape their approach to green building. This is why WorldGBC supports its member Green Building Councils and their member companies in individual countries and across regions, to pursue green buildings that are best suited to their own markets.

Hence, green buildings use a minimum amount of energy, and conserve natural resources creates space for healthy living.

The correct answer is the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act,1981.

Key Points

• Section 2(a) of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act of 1981:
  • It defines an ‘air pollutant’ as any solid liquid or gaseous substance which may cause harm or damage to the environment, humans, plants, animals, or even damage property.
  • A 1987 amendment to the act also added ‘noise’ to the list of harmful substances.
  • Thus, the provisions of the Air Act, became applicable in respect of noise pollution, also.

Additional Information 

• Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981:
  • Air pollution is defined as the presence of any liquid or gaseous substances in the atmosphere in such a concentration which tends to be injurious to man, animals, plants or the environment.
  • The Air Act was passed under Article 253 of the Constitution of India and in pursuance of the decisions of the Stockholm Conference.
  • Objective:
    • to provide means for the prevention, control and abatement of air pollution in order to preserve the quality of air.

• Drip irrigation is sometimes called trickle irrigation. 
• It involves dripping water onto the soil at very low rates (2-20 liters/hour) from a system of small diameter plastic pipes fitted with outlets called emitters or drippers.
• Simply put, rainwater harvesting is a process used for collecting and storing rainwater. 
• A conveyance system – gutters and downpipes that channel the water from the collection surface into a rainwater tank.
• These techniques are mainly employed in the northwest part of our country.
•  Diverters and filters – to keep leaves and other debris out of the storage tank.
• Water-saving habits must be imbibed  to small children right from childhood
• Using more water for cleaning toilets and washrooms is not the right method of saving and conserving water.

The correct answer is soil conservation.

Key PointsMulching

• A layer of organic matter like straw covers the bare ground between plants and helps to maintain soil moisture.
• Mulching is a layer of organic material of hay and grass particles that is placed on the surface of the soil to conserve moisture in the soil. It is used to improve the soil around the plants.
• It reduces evaporation rates and conserves soil moisture. It protects the soil from erosion.
• It holds down weeds which helps to improve the soil structure and fertility.

Some soil conservation methods  

• Mulching
  • A layer of organic matter like straw covers the bare ground between plants and helps to maintain soil moisture.
• Contour barriers
  • To create barriers along contours, stones, grass, the soil is being used.
  • Trenches are made to collect water in front of the barriers.
• Rock dam
  • Rocks are stacked up to slow down water flow and also help to stop gullies and further erosion of soil.
• Terrace farming
  • On steep slopes, wide flat steps or terraces are designed so that flat surfaces are used for cultivation.
  • Thus minimizing surface run-off and soil erosion.
• Intercropping
  • Various crops can be grown in alternating rows and are planted at varying times to protect the soil from rain washing.
• Ploughing of contours
  • Ploughing parallel to the contours of a hill slope creates a natural obstacle for fluid to drain down the slope.
• Shelterbelts
  • In the coastal and dry areas, rows of trees are cultivated to track the passage of air and preserve the cover of the soil.

The correct answer is Nitrification.

Key Points

• The process of conversion of ammonia into nitrate nitrogen is called nitrification.
• It is done in two steps- Nitrite formation, Nitrate formation.
• Nitrite formation- Ammonia are oxidized to nitrites by Nitrococcus, Nitrosomonas.

Additional Information

• The nitrogen cycle has four steps-
  • Nitrogen Fixation- Conversion of molecular nitrogen into the inorganic nitrogenous compound.
  • Ammonification- Conversion of the dead organic nitrogenous compound into ammonia.
  • Nitrification- Oxidation of ammonia into nitrates.
  • Denitrification- Nitrites or nitrates converts back into molecular nitrogen.

The correct answer is Mercury.

Key Points

• Mercury is used in thermometers because it remains in liquid form throughout a wide range of temperatures i.e -37.89 degrees Fahrenheit to 674.06 degrees Fahrenheit.
• The mercury thermometer was invented by physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in Amsterdam.
• Mercury has a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than alcohol. 
• A thermometer with alcohol is used to measure low temperature because its freezing point is low i.e -1170C.
• It is Impossible to measure high temperatures because it’s a low boiling point.
• The thermometer with mercury cannot be used to measure the very low temperature because its freezing point is high i.e -38.88 °C.
• Mercury is the only one in liquid state at room temperature.
• It's used in thermometers because it has a high coefficient of expansion.
• It also has a high boiling point which makes it very suitable to measure higher temperatures. 
• It has a shiny appearance and doesn't stick to the glass surface of the glass.
