Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
He must have seen us coming from some distance. By the time he loomed up in front of my headlights, the arms in the snow-caked overcoat were flailing desperately like windmills.
Pat gave a little gasp and I braked at once, though gently, or I might have followed his car into the ditch. But immediately I had second thoughts; there had been one or two nasty cases of hold-up in the papers recently. I wasn’t going to take any chance with Pat, my sister, there. I changed down the gear and made to drive round him.
Pat was horrified. ‘Aren’t you stopping, Bill?’ I shook my head. ‘Too risky’.
It was then that I saw the car. It had skidded right across the road and was hanging nose down in the deep ditch. I braked again and brought the Mini-Moris gradually to a stop.
I slid back my window as he looked in and then I saw that he was bleeding from a cut in his cheek.
‘Anybody else in the car?’
‘No, on my own. If you could give me a lift’.
I nodded and he got into the back and slammed the door.
‘Sorry about this, folks. I was beginning to think I was stuck there for the night. Not that you would call it a busy road, is it?’
‘Not at twelve o’clock at night’, Pat said, turning round to smile at him. ‘We have been to a dance in Boling ford. Bill didn’t want to go, but I was keen. He isn’t a bad brother, really’.
Which of the following statements is/are right?
(a) The stranger did not seem to be badly hurt.
(b) Mini-Moris went past the stranger and then stopped.
A(a) is right and (b) is wrong.

Explanation
The stranger had only a cut on his cheek and could walk and talk, so he was not badly hurt. Bill drove round him and only then, seeing the car in the ditch, braked to a stop, so both statements are right.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
He must have seen us coming from some distance. By the time he loomed up in front of my headlights, the arms in the snow-caked overcoat were flailing desperately like windmills.

D(b) and (c) are right but (a) is wrong.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (C) (a) and (b) are right but (c) is wrong.
Explanation
Pat was horrified that Bill would not stop and smiled at the stranger, showing she is bold and kind. Bill avoided risk only for Pat's sake and then stopped, so he is protective, not timid. The car had skidded into a ditch, not been parked by the sidewalk, so (c) is wrong.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
He must have seen us coming from some distance. By the time he loomed up in front of my headlights, the arms in the snow-caked overcoat were flailing desperately like windmills.
Pat gave a little gasp and I braked at once, though gently, or I might have followed his car into the ditch. But immediately I had second thoughts; there had been one or two nasty cases of hold-up in the papers recently. I wasn’t going to take any chance with Pat, my sister, there. I changed down the gear and made to drive round him.
Pat was horrified. ‘Aren’t you stopping, Bill?’ I shook my head. ‘Too risky’.
It was then that I saw the car. It had skidded right across the road and was hanging nose down in the deep ditch. I braked again and brought the Mini-Moris gradually to a stop.
I slid back my window as he looked in and then I saw that he was bleeding from a cut in his cheek.

Which of the following statements is not correct?
After slowing down the car, Bill hesitated as:
Ait was a dark spot, so it might be a case of robbery.
Bonly Pat, a woman was sitting beside him.
Cboth (1) and (2)
Din the cold, the car may not start again.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (D) in the cold, the car may not start again.
Explanation
Bill hesitated because of recent hold-up cases and because his sister was with him. Nothing in the passage says he worried that the car would not start again, so (4) is not correct.

AA textbook is the final thing for the teacher and the student.
BIt helps to achieve the objectives laid down in the curriculum.
CIt is a planning of educational activities for the session.
DA textbook is irreplaceable.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (B) It helps to achieve the objectives laid down in the curriculum.
Explanation
A textbook is one resource that helps teachers and learners achieve the curriculum objectives. It is not the final or only resource, and planning activities is the role of the syllabus or lesson plan.
Which of the following classroom practices helps a teacher to develop oral language among the students?

When we say ‘Language is arbitrary’, we mean to say that:
Athere is an inherent relation between the words of a language and their meaning.
Bthe relation between words and their meaning is based on a valid reason and not on chance.
Cthere is no inherent relation between the words of a language and their meaning.
DLanguage follows prefixed principles.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (C) there is no inherent relation between the words of a language and their meaning.
Explanation
Arbitrariness means there is no natural link between a word's sound and its meaning; for example the same animal is ‘dog’ in English and ‘kutta’ in Hindi. The link is a matter of convention.

Q181CTET December 2024 Paper 2 Maths & Science, 15 Dec 2024
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
1. Do children really need such long summer breaks, was a question posed by some experts recently. Apparently, such a long break disrupts their development and comes in the way of their learning process. "Let's get them back to their books", is perhaps the expert view. One would have thought the children are doing too much during their vacations and not too little, given the plethora of classes, camps and workshops involving swimming, art, personality development, music, computers and the like. Even the trips taken in the name of holidays seem laden with exotic destinations and customised experience packed into a short period of time. We can go Europe in 10 days and Australia in a week and come back armed with digital memories and overflowing suitcases. Holidays are, in some ways, no longer a break but an intensified search for experience not normally encountered in everyday life.
2. It is a far cry from summer holidays as we know them. For us, holidays every year meant one thing and one thing alone—you went back to your native place, logging in with the emotional headquarters of your extended family and spent two months with a gaggle of uncles, aunts and first and second cousins. The happiest memories of the childhood of a whole generation seemed to be centred around this annual ritual of homecoming.
3. Summer was not really a break, but a joint. It was the bridge used to reaffirm one's connectedness with one's larger community. One did not travel, one returned. It was not an attempt to experience the new and the extraordinary but one that emphatically underlined the power of the old and the ordinary. With the change of time, what we seek from our summer breaks too has changed in a fundamental way.
4. Today, we are attached much more to our work and summer helps us temporarily detach from this new source of identity. We refuel our individual selves now; and do so with much more material than we did in the past. But for those who grew up in different times, summer was the best time of their lives.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
1. Do children really need such long summer breaks, was a question posed by some experts recently. Apparently, such a long break disrupts their development and comes in the way of their learning process. "Let's get them back to their books", is perhaps the expert view. One would have thought the children are doing too much during their vacations and not too little, given the plethora of classes, camps and workshops involving swimming, art, personality development, music, computers and the like. Even the trips taken in the name of holidays seem laden with exotic destinations and customised experience packed into a short period of time. We can go Europe in 10 days and Australia in a week and come back armed with digital memories and overflowing suitcases. Holidays are, in some ways, no longer a break but an intensified search for experience not normally encountered in everyday life.
2. It is a far cry from summer holidays as we know them. For us, holidays every year meant one thing and one thing alone—you went back to your native place, logging in with the emotional headquarters of your extended family and spent two months with a gaggle of uncles, aunts and first and second cousins. The happiest memories of the childhood of a whole generation seemed to be centred around this annual ritual of homecoming.
3. Summer was not really a break, but a joint. It was the bridge used to reaffirm one's connectedness with one's larger community. One did not travel, one returned.

CThey require a lot of investment and exhaust our savings.
DThey are armed with memories of one's native places.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (A) They are laden with customised experience, packed into a short period of time.
Explanation
The passage says holiday trips "seem laden with exotic destinations and customised experience packed into a short period of time", so they are hectic rather than restful.

DBoth (1) and (2)
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (B) We are attached much more to our work.
Explanation
Note: the official key gives (2); paragraph 4 supports both (1) and (2), so "Both (1) and (2)" also looks defensible. Paragraph 4 begins "Today, we are attached much more to our work", and summer now helps us detach from work, unlike the old summers of homecoming.
