Practice questions

Q1How many of the following are valid reasons for variation in house-building materials: climate, local availability, cost, safety, local practice?

A 2
B 3
C 4
D 5
Explanation

All five listed factors are valid. NCERT/RBSE primary-stage environmental studies treats house materials as linked with climate, availability, cost, safety and local practice, not with one fixed material for all homes.

Q2A teacher asks children why houses in different places are made from different materials. Which answer should be accepted as the most complete EVS explanation?

A Only because all people like the same fashionable design
B Only because heavy materials are always better than light materials
C Only because older houses are always unsafe
D Because climate, available materials, cost, safety and local practice affect house construction
Explanation

House materials vary because people respond to climate, availability, cost, safety and local practice. Fashion, weight or age alone cannot explain why mud, brick, bamboo, stone, wood, tin, glass or concrete may be used in different places.

Q3Which statement is the best Level 1 explanation of handloom and powerloom?

A Handloom is woven with human skill; powerloom uses power to run the loom
B Handloom means old cloth and powerloom means new cloth
C Handloom cloth is always costly and powerloom cloth is always weak
D Both words mean the same kind of machine
Explanation

Meena should learn a respectful, simple distinction: human-operated weaving skill versus power-driven loom. That is enough for Level 1 and avoids unsupported claims about price or quality.

Q4A teacher asks children to sort cloth pieces, name the material in their mother tongue, explain one use, and records observations during the activity. Which principle does this best reflect?

A Only final written examination should decide learning.
B Children should copy definitions before touching real materials.
C Activity-based discovery with mother-tongue support and continuous assessment
D Uniform answers are more important than children's explanations.
Explanation

Section 29 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act supports activity, discovery, mother-tongue use, and continuous assessment. The other choices reduce learning to copying, uniform answers, or a final test only.

Q5Match the living being with the best child-level habitat example. 1. Earthworm 2. Tailorbird 3. Squirrel

A 1-tree hollow, 2-soil, 3-stitched leaves
B 1-soil, 2-stitched leaves, 3-tree hollow
C 1-pond, 2-cow shed, 3-raincoat
D 1-brick wall, 2-uniform, 3-metal roof
Explanation

Imran’s garden walk should connect each living being with the place it actually uses. Earthworms are linked with soil, tailorbirds with stitched leaves, and squirrels with tree hollows in the child-level examples.
