Consider the following statements related to Brainstorming.
Statement (A) : Brainstorming is helpful in broadening students thoughts on a topic.
Statement (B) : Students who practice brainstorming become more analytical.
Choose the correct option :

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: A)

Explanation:

Brainstorming helps students to express and expand their ideas on a given topic freely. However, practicing brainstorming alone does not necessarily ensure that all students become more analytical. Developing analytical ability requires structured guidance and additional cognitive strategies. Therefore, Statement (A) is true, while Statement (B) is not universally true.

Assertion:

• Encourages free flow of ideas without fear of judgment.
• Helps students broaden their thoughts on a topic.
• Promotes active participation in the classroom.
• Supports creative expression of ideas.
• Facilitates learner-centred teaching–learning processes.

Reason:

• Analytical thinking requires more than idea generation.
• It needs structured practice and teacher guidance.
• Brainstorming alone may not develop analytical skills in all learners.
• Different strategies contribute differently to analytical ability.
• Hence, the statement cannot be considered universally true.
