Q84

If a teacher wants that students learn about the plant diversity, which of the following are the most suitable activities for this?
A. Ask students to look for objects which have patterns of leaves on them in their house.
B. Recite a poem to students written on different types of plants and their characteristics.
C. Blindfold students and ask the students to identify plants by smelling crushed leaves.

Choose the correct option.

  1. (1) B and C
  2. (2) A and D
  3. (3) A and B
  4. (4) C and DCorrect answer

Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) C and D

  1. Identifying plants by the smell of crushed leaves (C) shows that plants differ even in ways we cannot see.
  2. Collecting leaves of many plants (D) lets children handle and compare shapes, sizes, colours and textures.
  3. Both are hands-on, multi-sense activities with real plants.

Trap: hearing a poem (B) is passive, and leaf patterns on household objects (A) are designs, not real plant variety.
