Practice questions
Q1Which option best describes culture in primary-stage EVS?
A Only old monuments and forts
B Shared ways of living such as food, dress, festivals, crafts, language, and values
C Only worship methods followed inside one family
D A list of kings, battles, and dates
Explanation Culture is best understood as shared living practice: what people eat, wear, make, speak, celebrate, and value. Monuments, worship, or historical dates may connect to culture, but each is too narrow by itself.
Q2In a Class 4 EVS activity on Rajasthan culture, Asha records columns named festival, food, dress or object, and value. Which term best describes this classroom tool?
A Observation table
B Tourist brochure
C Dynasty timeline
D Attendance register
Explanation An observation table helps children record and compare evidence from their own surroundings. The other choices either advertise places, arrange history, or mark attendance, so they miss the EVS purpose of careful observation.
Q3Which set contains only examples that can be discussed as heritage in a Rajasthan EVS lesson?
A A stepwell, a local craft skill, and care for Khejri
B A private mobile phone, a plastic wrapper, and a broken toy
C Only railway tickets and hotel bills from a trip
D Only the names of foreign monuments
Explanation A stepwell, craft skill, and care for Khejri can all help children see heritage as valued and protected community life. The other sets are either private, disposable, record-like, or too detached from local observation.
Q4In Asha class, one child says culture means only religious worship. What should the teacher do next?
A Accept the statement and remove national festivals from the lesson
B Scold the child for giving a wrong answer before discussion
C Add examples of food, dress, craft, national festivals, fairs, and public care
D Give a list of twenty rulers to memorise immediately
Explanation The teacher should build from the partial idea. Asha festival drawing, Devika national festival, Rehana dress example, and Imran public-place example show that culture includes many shared practices, not only worship.
Q5Which statement correctly explains why Khejri can be discussed with Rajasthan culture and environment together?
A It is mainly important because it appears in long royal battle stories.
B It is only a decorative tree for tourist photographs.
C It supports dry-region life through shade, fodder, pods, and local food practices.
D It is useful only when children draw it as a classroom symbol.
Explanation Khejri connects culture and environment because people value it in dry-region life for shade, fodder, pods, and food practices. The trap options reduce it to history, decoration, or a drawing activity, which misses its conservation meaning.
