2. Socio-constructivist views of learning advocate that:
(1) Effective learning is activated by lecturing and explaining
(2) Effective learning takes place through the process of recall and rehearsal
(3) Learners receive knowledge passively from others
(4) Learners actively construct knowledge
Answer:-
Option (4) is correct.
Explanation: Socio-constructivist views of learning advocate that learners actively construct knowledge.
• Constructivist Classrooms allow learners to construct knowledge and understanding of concepts based on their experiences. In a Constructivist Classroom, students actively participate in the teaching learning process. Teachers play an essential role in the
teacher in the process, where he/she acts as a facilitator. In this kind of setup, students working in groups emphasizing collaborative and cooperative learning.
ƒ Allows learners to foster their learning abilities. Teachers provide ample opportunities to students that encourage them to learn from their personal experiences. Give primacy to peer tutoring, self-assessment, group activity, and discussion.

Option (3) is correct.
Explanation: Learning is a life-long and continuous process in an individual life to develop an understanding of the world we live in. A series of steps are designed to lead to a particular goal or outcome to be achieved. Thus,learning is a process rather than a product.
4. In the course of development, children achieve gross motor skills before fine motor skills, This indicates
that development is :

Unwilling to school. And then the lover,

But the Lion went into the forest and found-his own supper and no one ever knew what it was, for he didn't mention it. And the scarecrow found a tree full of nuts and filled Dorothy's basket with them,so that she would not be hungry for a long time. She thought this was very kind and thoughtful of the scarecrow, but she laughed heartily at the awkward way in which the poor creature picked up the nuts. His padded hands were so clumsy and the nuts so small that he dropped almost as many as he put in the basket. But the scarecrow did not mind how long it took him to fill the basket, for it enabled him
to keep away from the fire, as he feared a spark might get into his straw and burn him up.So he kept a good distance away from the flames, and only came near to cover Dorothy with dry leaves when she lay down to sleep. These kept her snug and warm and she slept soundly by until morning . When it was daylight, the girl bathed her face in a little rippling brook and soon after they all started toward the Emerald city.
This was to be a wonderful day for the travellers. They had hardly been walking an hour when they saw before them a ditch that lay across the road and divided the forest as far as they could see on either side.

Direction (129-135): Read the passage given below and
answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most
appropriate options.
Usually the first question I ask a newbie birder
is, “What do yo think is the most important physical
requisite to be a birder ? Your eyes, your ears, your nose
or any other?"
Most often, the answer is “eyes”, but several do
home into what is the most important faculty a least,
according to me : your ears. Spotting birds in foliage is
hard enough, but if you hear them, you know they are
there.
But early the other morning, I realised it went much
beyond that. The first bird call I heard and left the house
for my walk was the madcap ringing laugh of black-
rumped flameback, earlier known a the golden-backed
woodpecker. It was a wild, exultant laugh that set the tone and mood for the entire day. And then I realised
that every bird call evokes a different reaction, memory
or emotion in the listener.
Indian mynas, for example, invariably remind me
of people in Delhi-always ready to argue and pick a
fight, belligerent and in your face, Yet, they taught me
not to make sweeping generalisation because when a
pair perch on the window sill in the afternoons, they
have meaningful civilised conversations with each other.
There is inquiry, humour and affection in their voices.

The underlined is a/an clause,
(1) Adjective (2) Adverb

emotions in a birder.

(3) (a) is right and (b) is wrong.
(4) (b) is right and (a) ‘is wrong.
131. '..... belligerent in your face.’
The underlined word nearly means the same as :
(1) musical (2) different
(3) hostile (4) noisy
132. ‘It was a wild exultant laugh...”

(1) Adverb (2) Adjective
(3) Noun (4) Verb
