Q1Which statement about the Pulse Polio campaign is correct for REET Level-1 EVS?

A It began in India in 2005 and covers only school-going children.
B It began in India in 1995 and covers children aged 0 to 5 years in immunisation rounds.
C It is mainly a balanced-diet programme for children aged 6 to 14 years.
D It is a campaign for keeping teeth and nails clean.
Explanation

Pulse Polio is an immunisation campaign launched in India in 1995 for children aged 0 to 5 years. Hygiene habits and balanced diet are important health topics, but they are different from this campaign.

Q2Assertion: NEP 2020 supports using activity-based learning for this L1 EVS health topic. Reason: The foundational stage is described as flexible, multilevel and play/activity-based.

A Both assertion and reason are true, and reason explains assertion
B Both assertion and reason are true, but reason does not explain assertion
C Assertion is true, but reason is false
D Assertion is false, but reason is true
Explanation

A is correct. The policy line is not decorative. It supports hygiene wheels, food-card sorting, school walks and weekly health tables because young learners understand habits through repeated action.

Q3Match the disease group with the best primary-EVS prevention idea.

A Malaria/dengue - remove stagnant water and avoid mosquito bites
B Anemia - keep water containers uncovered
C Fluorosis - eat only sweets before school
D Gastroenteritis - stop all outdoor games
Explanation

Option A is the only match that uses a prevention link suitable for children. Moyna can identify a tyre or pot with stagnant water and explain why clearing it helps reduce mosquito breeding risk.

Q4In primary EVS, what does food variety mean in a child's daily meals?

A Eating different local food groups across meals
B Eating the same favourite food whenever hungry
C Eating only costly packaged foods for strength
D Skipping vegetables if grains are eaten daily
Explanation

Food variety means including different local food groups such as grains, pulses, vegetables, fruits, milk foods, nuts and water across meals. A favourite item, packaged food, or grains alone cannot give the range of energy, growth material, protection and water that a balanced diet needs.

Q5NCERT Class 3 Chapter 8 uses Shirin's example mainly to teach which idea?

A A child should eat the favourite food first and leave the rest.
B One favourite food is not enough for the body's needs.
C Rice and potatoes should never be eaten by children.
D A balanced diet always has the same fixed menu.
Explanation

NCERT Class 3 Chapter 8 uses Shirin to show that one favourite food is not enough. The point is not to reject rice, potatoes or any local food, but to add variety so the body receives different kinds of support.
