Fitness assessments

Correct answer: A. To understand a student's ability and progress using clear criteria and evidence.

A is correct because fair assessment uses relevant criteria and evidence to judge a learner's current ability and progress. This helps identify strengths and areas for improvement without favouritism. The other options describe biased or harmful practices, not fair assessment.

Correct answer: A. Bias and unfair selection

Fair assessment uses consistent criteria, relevant evidence and equal opportunity so that learners are judged on demonstrated performance rather than personal preference or prejudice. It therefore helps prevent bias, favouritism and unfair selection, making option A correct. Rule-following, health awareness and participation are positive outcomes or related concepts, not the ethical problem that fair assessment is specifically designed to prevent.

Correct answer: A. Digital monitoring and assessment of personal progress

The governing concept is technology-supported fitness assessment. Apps and trackers can record steps, duration, heart-rate patterns, distance, or training frequency, allowing learners and teachers to observe change over time and set personal goals. Thus, option A is correct. These tools supplement, rather than end, health assessment; they do not remove sport or make exercise unnecessary, as suggested by B, C, and D.

Correct answer: B. Dependence only on guesswork

The governing concept is objective evaluation. When teachers record scores, times, repetitions, observations, or other relevant measurements, decisions are based on evidence rather than personal impressions or guesswork. Thus, option B is correct because data reduces uncertainty and makes assessment more accurate and transparent. It does not automatically create regular practice, remove the need for facilities, or prevent the development of team spirit.

Correct answer: A. Skill, effort, fitness and behavior

The governing concept is holistic evaluation, which judges a learner through several relevant dimensions rather than one final result. A sound physical-education assessment can consider practical skill, effort, fitness improvement, participation, cooperation and behaviour. Thus option A is correct. Winning and losing alone ignores learning; height and weight measure only limited physical attributes; spectator reaction is not a reliable complete assessment.
