Question 3: Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
- Assertion (A): Characteristic of Audio-visual Aids is to provide reinforcement to the learners.
- Reason (R): It aids in positive transfer of learning and training.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Option A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Option B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
Option C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
Option D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Audio-visual aids do reinforce learning (Assertion is correct), and they do aid in positive transfer of training (Reason is also correct), but that does not fully explain why they provide reinforcement. Hence, the Reason is correct but not the precise explanation for the Assertion.
Question 4: Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
- Assertion (A): Highlight the skills of a medical student to acquire the cognitive as well as psychomotor skills needed for surgery.
- Reason (R): The challenges of spatio-temporal skills across the major barriers like depth, orientation, etc. are needed for it.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Option A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Option B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
Option C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
Option D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Medical students need both cognitive knowledge and psychomotor (hands-on) skills; the focus on spatial/depth skills explains the challenges of surgical training. Hence (R) is indeed explaining (A).
Question 5: Select the option which explains the factors contributing to effectiveness of teaching:
(A) Teacher’s knowledge of the subject/topic.
(B) Communication skills of the teacher.
(C) Teacher’s competence in managing and monitoring the class.

Option A. (A), (B) and (C)
Option B. (A), (B), (C) and (D)
Option C. (B), (C) and (D)
Option D. (A), (C) and (D)
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: A teacher’s knowledge, communication skills, and competence in class management are well-recognized factors for effective teaching. Contact on social media is not generally deemed a requirement for effectiveness in teaching.
Question 6: Match List – I with List – II of the following communication process:
List – I
(A) Sender
(B) Receiver
(C) Message
(D) Channel
List – II
(i) Audience
(ii) Source

Option B. (A) → (ii), (B) → (i), (C) → (iv), (D) → (iii)
Option C. (A) → (iii), (B) → (iv), (C) → (i), (D) → (ii)
Option D. (A) → (iv), (B) → (iii), (C) → (ii), (D) → (i)
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: In communication, the “sender” is the source, the “receiver” is the audience, the “message” is the content, and the “channel” is the medium.
Question 7: Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
- Assertion (A): Teaching begins its journey much before it comes into action in the classroom.
- Reason (R): Whereas instruction begins only when the teacher enters the classroom.
Usually teaching and instruction are used separately as there is a little but important difference between the two.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Option A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Option B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
Option C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
Option D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Teaching encompasses planning, preparation, and pre-class tasks. Instruction specifically refers to what happens in the classroom when the teacher engages directly with students. So (R) explains (A) correctly.
Question 8: Which one of the following is NOT related to the psychological attribute of Intelligence?
Option A. Comprehension
Option B. Reasoning
Option C. Problem-solving
Option D. Pro-social behaviour
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Intelligence primarily refers to cognitive abilities such as reasoning, comprehension, and problem-solving. Pro-social behavior is a social-emotional attribute rather than a cognitive (intelligence) attribute.
Question 9: Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
- Assertion (A): Formative assessment accelerates the process of learning.
- Reason (R): Summative assessment is the final outcome of learning process.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Option A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Option B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
Option C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
Option D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Formative assessments do speed up or reinforce learning, and summative assessments measure final outcomes. Summative assessment being the final outcome does not explain how formative assessments accelerate learning, so (R) is not the direct explanation of (A).
Question 10: Please indicate the appropriate sequence of teaching:
(A) Ascertaining what students already know
(B) Setting out the objectives
(C) Deciding the topic

Option C. (B), (E), (C), (A), (D)
Option D. (A), (C), (B), (D), (E)
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Typically, you first set objectives (B), then decide on a topic (C), then decide which materials you need (E). Next, you check what students already know (A), and finally you introduce the topic (D).

Question 13: Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
- Assertion (A): Andragogy is a subject-centered teaching method.
- Reason (R): Practical and problem-solving attitude is adopted in adult learning process.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Option A. Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Option B. Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
Option C. (A) is correct but (R) is not correct.
Option D. (A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Andragogy is typically learner-centered, not subject-centered. Meanwhile, it does adopt a practical, problem-solving approach, making (R) correct. Hence, (A) is not correct and (R) is correct.
