Correct Answer : A

Post-mature babies, born after 42 weeks, are long and thin, with dry peeling skin, because the ageing placenta cannot supply enough food and oxygen at the end of gestation. The reason gives exactly this cause, so (R) explains (A). Both statements are correct, and the options calling either of them wrong are rejected. The placenta works well for a limited time, and by the end of a long gestation its efficiency falls, so the fetus gets less oxygen and nutrients and loses fat under the skin, which gives the long, thin look. That chain shows that (R) gives the cause of (A).

Correct Answer : B

The key gives the order interfacing (b), underlining (c), interlining (a), lining (d). Interfacing is applied first to the parts that need shaping and stiffening, such as collars, facings and cuffs. Underlining is attached to the fashion fabric pieces before the garment is assembled, interlining is placed between the fabric and the lining for warmth or body, and lining is put in last to cover all the inside work.

The other orders start with interlining or lining, which cannot be done before the outer fabric work, or put lining before the other layers, and so are wrong.

In planning incentives, the objectives are selected first, achievement is measured, the achievement-reward relationship is developed and a system is designed. So the order is (c), (b), (a), (d). Option A puts designing a system at position 1, where the right order has selecting the objectives. Option B puts developing the achievement-reward relationship at position 1, where the right order has selecting the objectives. Option C puts measuring achievement at position 1, where the right order has selecting the objectives.

The medium is the motion picture.

A film combines moving pictures, sound, music and story, so it catches attention and holds the interest of large audiences, including people who cannot read. That is why films are used in extension to arouse interest in new practices.

Newspapers, books and leaflets are print media. They need literacy and give a still, silent message, so they are better for giving detailed information than for arousing interest.

The key gives structural family therapy.

Structural family therapy, developed by Salvador Minuchin, treats the family as a system made of subsystems (parents, siblings) with boundaries and hierarchies. The therapist looks at how each person's behaviour fits into and affects that structure, and works with the whole family to reorganise it, so that solutions involve all members.

Systemic approaches share this outlook, but the paper's description is the one given for the structural model. Couples therapy works with a pair only, and conjoint family therapy (Virginia Satir) is defined by seeing the family together and improving its communication.

The answer is Organised whole of learning and other experiences provided by educational institution, to realize self-goals.

In its wide modern sense, curriculum is not just a list of subjects or a syllabus. It is the totality of planned experiences that a school or college provides, in the classroom, laboratory, library, playground and community, to help learners reach the goals of education.

The other options are narrower. Subjects of study, courses to be completed and prescribed syllabi with practicals and projects describe parts of the curriculum, its content or its course structure, rather than the whole of the learner's experiences.

A grade label indicates the product's quality.

A grade label places the product in a quality class according to set standards, such as the Agmark grades for agricultural produce in India. Grades tell the buyer about features like size, colour, purity and freedom from defects.

A brand label only shows the brand name, an informative label gives instructions for use and care, and promotional offers are advertising. None of these is a statement of grade.

Correct Answer : D

The source is geothermal power.

'Geo' means earth and 'thermal' means heat. Geothermal plants use steam or hot water from reservoirs heated by the earth's interior to drive turbines, and the same heat can be used directly for heating or through ground-source heat pumps.

Solar power comes from sunlight. Wind and hydropower are also driven ultimately by the sun, which sets up air movement and the water cycle. None of them draws on the earth's internal heat.

Corduroy is a cut pile fabric.

Corduroy is woven with extra filling (weft) yarns that float over the ground weave. After weaving, these floats are cut, and the cut ends brushed up to form the characteristic ribs or wales of pile running along the length of the fabric.

Bedford cord also has lengthwise ribs, but they are made by the weave itself, with no pile. Dobby weaves form small geometric figures. An uncut pile, as in terry towelling or frieze, leaves the loops intact rather than cutting them.

The three-element model is Aristotle's.

In his Rhetoric, Aristotle described communication in terms of three elements: the speaker, the speech (message) and the audience (listener). It is the earliest and simplest model of communication and focuses on persuasion.

Berlo's SMCR model has four elements (source, message, channel, receiver), and Shannon and Weaver's model adds the transmitter, channel, receiver and noise, so neither is a three-element model. 'Weshley' is a distractor.

Dizygotic twins may be of the same or different sex.

Dizygotic (fraternal) twins develop from two separate eggs fertilised by two different sperm. Genetically they are no more alike than ordinary siblings, sharing about half their genes, so they can be two boys, two girls, or a boy and a girl.

Being genetically identical and coming from a single fertilised egg describe monozygotic (identical) twins. Dizygotic twins are true twins, born together from one pregnancy.

Peer appraisal is carried out by fellow employees.

Peers are colleagues at the same level who work with the person and see day-to-day behaviour such as teamwork, cooperation and reliability. Peer ratings are often part of 360-degree appraisal.

Appraisal by an immediate supervisor or a manager is the traditional top-down method, and appraisal by customers is customer or client appraisal; neither is peer appraisal.

The buying proposal is often initiated by users.

In the buying-centre model, roles include initiators, users, influencers, deciders, buyers and gatekeepers. Users, the people who will actually use the product, are often the ones who first feel the need and propose the purchase.

Deciders have the authority to make the final choice, buyers carry out the formal purchase, and sellers are on the other side of the transaction, so none of them typically starts the proposal.

Boredom and frustration fatigue are examples of psychological fatigue.

Psychological fatigue arises from the mind and emotions rather than from physical work: monotony, lack of interest, worry, frustration and conflict produce a feeling of tiredness even when little energy has been spent. It is relieved by changing the task or attitude, not by rest alone.

Physiological, muscular and visual fatigue are physical: they result from the actual use of the body, its muscles or the eyes, and are measured by changes in the body after exertion.

The ingredient of communication is message and channel.

The basic elements of the communication process, as in Berlo's SMCR model, are the source or communicator, the message, the channel through which it travels and the receiver, with treatment of the message and feedback added in extension models.

Audio aids and visual aids are tools that may be used as channels, not elements of communication in themselves, and an organiser arranges programmes rather than being part of the communication process.

The qualities of a good homemaker are intelligence, imagination and work efficiency.

Managing a home calls for intelligence to plan and solve problems, imagination to find new ways of using limited resources, and efficiency in carrying out work so that time and energy are saved.

Each of the other options contains an item that is not a quality: 'sad' in option B and 'frustrated' in option D are emotional states, not abilities, and 'motivated, guiding, moderating' in option A is a loose list of roles rather than the qualities textbooks name.

This represents parallel play.

In Mildred Parten's stages of play, parallel play is when children play beside one another with similar materials, such as in the same sand pit, but each plays independently without interacting. It is typical of children around two to three years.

Solitary play is play alone, away from others, and cooperative play involves shared goals and roles, as in a group game or make-believe. 'Cultural play' is not one of Parten's categories.

The child is in the anal stage.

In Freud's theory of psychosexual development, the anal stage covers roughly the second and third years of life. Pleasure centres on the anus and on holding back and letting go of faeces, which is why toilet training is the key event of the stage and why children of this age are interested in talk about urine and faeces.

The oral stage (birth to about 18 months) centres on the mouth, the phallic stage (about 3 to 6 years) on the genitals and the Oedipus complex, and the genital stage begins at puberty.

I.R.D.P. stands for Integrated Rural Development Programme.

The IRDP was launched in 1978-79 and extended to all blocks of India in 1980. It aimed to raise rural poor families above the poverty line by giving them productive assets through government subsidy and bank credit. In 1999 it was merged into the Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana.

The other options alter one word of the name: it was a Programme, not a Project, it was Rural, not Regional, and it was about Development, not a District.

The tasks are (a), (b) and (c) only.

An ICDS supervisor (Mukhya Sevika) guides and supervises a group of anganwadi centres. Her work includes contacting village leaders and influential persons to win community support, organising community meetings, and helping select anganwadi workers and helpers.

Formal education (d) is not part of ICDS. The anganwadi offers non-formal pre-school education to children aged three to six, and formal schooling is the job of the school system. So any option including (d) is wrong.
