Read the following statements and choose the correct option :
Assertion (A) : At the primary level EVS has themes instead of topics.
Reason (R) : Theme-based EVS learning is easy for teachers and students as compared to topics.
Answer: C
The key takes (A) as true and (R) as true but not the explanation of (A): option 3.
(A) is true: the EVS syllabus for the primary classes is organised around themes (for example Family and Friends, Food, Shelter, Water, Travel, and Things We Make and Do) and not around separate topics. (R) says that theme-based learning is easier for teachers and learners than topics. The key accepts this as a true statement, although I could not find a source that states ease as the reason; the reason the syllabus is organised in themes is that a theme lets the child connect what she sees and does in her surroundings across science and social studies.
Because ease of teaching is not why EVS has themes, (R) does not explain (A). That rules out option 2, and (A) being true rules out options 1 and 4. The accepted reading of (R) as true is the key's, and I could not confirm it independently.
