    Question

    Consider the following statements and choose the appropriate option.
    Statement (I) : The adjectives and verbs used to describe characters, social groups and events reveal ideological assumptions.
    Statement (II) : In a classroom, it is important to portray historical figure as an ideal as children need something to look up to and emulate.
    Options :

    A.

    Both Statements (I) and (II) are true

    B.

    Statement (II) is true but (I) is false

    C.

    Both Statements (I) and (II) are false

    D.

    Statement (I) is true but (II) is false

    Correct option is D

    The correct option is (d) Statement (I) is true but (II) is false.
    Explanation:
    Statement (I) is true because the language we use to describe characters, social groups, and events is not neutral. It carries with it ideological assumptions that reflect our beliefs about the world. For example, if we describe a person as "lazy" or "unintelligent," we are making a judgment about their character and abilities. These judgments are based on our own beliefs about what it means to be lazy or unintelligent.
    Statement (II) is false because it is important to portray historical figures objectively and accurately, rather than idealizing them. Children need to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of historical figures in order to develop their own critical thinking skills. They also need to understand that historical figures are products of their time, and that their actions may not be appropriate or acceptable in today's world.Therefore, the appropriate option is (d) Statement (I) is true but (II) is false.
