Emotional Competence

Correct answer: B. Self-control understands emotions and responds properly while self-suppression hides emotions

Self-control involves noticing an emotion, understanding its cause, and choosing a suitable response rather than acting impulsively. Suppression, in contrast, may mean hiding or pushing away an emotion without understanding or processing it. Managing emotions does not require denying them; healthy control allows expression in a safe and appropriate way when needed.

Correct answer: C. Positive self-talk is linked with effort and improvement while false assurance ignores reality

Positive self-talk is realistic and action-oriented: a student may say, “This is difficult, but I can improve by practising and asking for help.” False assurance makes an unsupported claim that everything will succeed without preparation or adjustment. Encouragement is healthy when it recognises the challenge and connects confidence with specific effort.

Correct answer: B. दृढ़ निर्णय और नैतिक साहस

Knowing the correct choice is not enough if a person cannot act or speak responsibly under social pressure. Firm decision-making helps maintain a reasoned choice, while moral courage supports expressing or following it despite fear of rejection. Silence under wrongful pressure may reflect weakness in these abilities, not necessarily a problem with memory, routine, or arranging materials.

Correct answer: A. Create independent criteria and self-review

External praise can provide useful feedback, but it is not a complete or constant measure of quality. The student should define relevant criteria such as accuracy, completeness, clarity, and improvement, then review the work against them. This builds independent judgement and reveals corrections even when praise is absent. Waiting for praise or hiding errors increases dependence and reduces learning.
