Asked in Premeth Test 18 — EvolutionModerate

Statement: A very large number of students have failed in the final high school examination due to faulty questions in one of the subjects.Courses of Action:I. All the students who have failed in the subject should be allowed to take a supplementary examination.II. All those who are responsible for the error should be suspended and an inquiry should be initiated to find out the facts.

Correct answer: E. Both I and II follow

  • A. Only I follows
  • B. Only II follows
  • C. Either I or II follows
  • D. Neither I nor II follows
  • E. Both I and II follow

Explanation

The correct answer is Both I and II follow. The presence of faulty questions in the examination paper indicates a significant oversight by the responsible authorities. Course of Action I is necessary because it directly addresses the unfair disadvantage faced by the students, providing them an opportunity to take a supplementary examination and potentially pass. Course of Action II ensures accountability by suspending those responsible for the error and launching an inquiry to understand the root cause, thereby preventing similar mistakes in the future. Therefore, both actions are needed to address the immediate and long-term issues effectively. The other options either ignore the need for immediate student redressal or fail to address accountability.

About Evolution

Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
