UGC NET - 2014,
Answer: B
In counselling a pupil a teacher should establish rapport with the pupil. A relationship of trust and ease is the base of effective counselling, because the pupil will not open up without it. A teacher who plans to do most of the talking leaves little room for the pupil to speak. Holding back information is not required, and a teacher who assumes responsibility for solving the pupil's problems makes the pupil dependent, so the other options are wrong. Rapport comes first, because information and advice are useful only after the pupil trusts the teacher.
