Q1How many of the following are recognised family forms that an EVS Class III teacher should treat as legitimate during a Family theme lesson? Nuclear family, joint family, single parent family, blended family, friend group living separately.

A Four out of the five listed groupings count as legitimate family forms
B Two out of the five listed groupings count as legitimate family forms
C Five out of the five listed groupings count as legitimate family forms
D Three out of the five listed groupings count as legitimate family forms
Explanation

Nuclear, joint, single parent and blended families are the four family forms standard EVS material recognises. A friend group living separately is a peer network, not a family unit, even if emotionally close.

Q2Consider these statements about a family tree activity in Class III EVS. (i) It helps children name elder and younger relatives. (ii) It teaches children that all families look identical. Which combination is correct?

A Both (i) and (ii) are correct purposes of the activity
B Only statement (ii) is correct while (i) is incorrect
C Both (i) and (ii) are incorrect statements about the activity
D Only statement (i) is correct while (ii) is incorrect
Explanation

Family tree activities help young learners label kin terms like nani, nana, dadi, dada, mama, mausi. They explicitly celebrate diverse family structures rather than implying uniformity, so statement (ii) misrepresents the EVS pedagogy.

Q3Which of the following is NOT an appropriate teacher response when a Class IV child shares that her household has only her grandmother and herself?

A Acknowledge the household and ask the child to share what they enjoy doing together
B Explain that the child should draw a complete family with parents to fit the lesson
C Include grandparent-led households as one valid family form during the chapter discussion
D Invite the child to share a story about her grandmother during the family theme circle time
Explanation

EVS pedagogy under NCF 2005 affirms diverse household structures. Forcing the child to draw an idealised parent-based family invalidates her real family, contradicts inclusive practice, and may cause emotional distress in primary classrooms.

Q4Match the Rajasthani traditional play activities in List A with the play category in List B. List A: (1) Pittu (2) Gilli-danda (3) Saanp-seedhi (4) Antakshari. List B: (P) Outdoor team game (Q) Outdoor stick game (R) Indoor board game (S) Indoor singing game.

A (1)-Q, (2)-P, (3)-S, (4)-R is the matching of activities
B (1)-P, (2)-Q, (3)-R, (4)-S is the matching of activities
C (1)-R, (2)-S, (3)-P, (4)-Q is the matching of activities
D (1)-S, (2)-R, (3)-Q, (4)-P is the matching of activities
Explanation

Pittu uses a flat stone tower with two outdoor teams. Gilli-danda is a bat-and-stick outdoor game. Saanp-seedhi is the indoor snakes-and-ladders board played at home. Antakshari is the indoor song-chain game children play at gatherings.

Q5A child lives with mother, father and one sister. Grandparents live in a different house. Which family type best describes this household?

A Joint family with three generations under one roof
B Nuclear family of parents and their children only
C Extended family including aunts, uncles and cousins
D Single parent household with one adult caregiver
Explanation

A nuclear family consists of parents and their dependent children sharing one household. The described household has two parents and two children with grandparents elsewhere, fitting the nuclear definition used in EVS Class III.
