human-body-and-health-l2 MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

Solve 10 human-body-and-health-l2 questions for RAS/RPSC preparation.

Practice questions

Q1Choose the correct pair: I. All microorganisms are harmful. II. Bacteria and protozoa can be microorganisms. III. Viruses reproduce only inside a host organism.

A I and II only
B I and III only
C II and III only
D I, II and III
Explanation

NCERT Class 8 separates useful and harmful contexts. Karan should reject the word all in statement I, keep bacteria and protozoa as microorganisms, and remember the host condition for viruses.

Q2Devika labels every disease as infectious. Which remedial task should the teacher give first?

A Tell Devika she is wrong and ask her to rewrite the list correctly from the textbook.
B Give cards of diseases and ask Devika to sort them into pathogen-spread, lifestyle-linked and nutrient-deficiency groups.
C Ask Devika to learn that every disease can be cured with the same medicine.
D Move on, since labelling all diseases infectious is a harmless mistake.
Explanation

Devika's error is over-generalising 'infectious' to every disease, so the first remedial task must make her classify by cause - sorting case cards into pathogen-spread, lifestyle-linked and nutrient-deficiency groups (option B) shows non-communicable diseases exist. A is rote copying, C adds a new false idea, and D ignores a core misconception.

Q3Which pair correctly states the major nutrients listed in NCERT Class 6 Curiosity?

A Carbohydrates, fats and only one vitamin
B Only proteins and water, since they build the body
C Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals
D Sugar, salt and oil, because they give the most taste
Explanation

The NCERT Class 6 Curiosity balanced-diet chapter lists the major nutrients as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals (option C). A is incomplete, B confuses water/roughage with the nutrient list, and D names taste-based food items instead of nutrient categories.

Q4A teacher wants to correct the idea that health means only not being sick. Which classroom example is best?

A Tell children that a person with no fever is fully healthy.
B List only physical exercises children should do each morning.
C Ask children to memorise the WHO definition word for word for a test.
D Use the Salma case card on poor sleep, loneliness and routine to show health includes mental and social well-being.
Explanation

The misconception is fixed only by showing health has physical, mental and social dimensions, which the Salma case card does concretely and safely (option D). A repeats the misconception, B stays physical-only, and C is rote memorising without application.

Q5Which statements are correct? I. Prevention should match the route or cause. II. Deficiency disease spreads through direct contact. III. Privacy matters in health discussions.

A I and III only
B II and III only
C I and II only
D I, II and III
Explanation

Statement I (prevention should match the route or cause) and statement III (privacy matters in health discussions) are both correct, while statement II is false because a deficiency disease such as scurvy is non-communicable and does not spread by contact. So only I and III hold (option A).
