CTET Paper I (Classes I to V) Feb 2014 Solved Paper

Concept:An open‑ended question has many correct answers, while a close‑ended question has only one fixed answer.Explanation:The given question $5 + 3 = ?$ is close‑ended because the only correct answer is $8$.Option A: "Find the sum of 5 and 3" is close‑ended because it still expects a single answer, $8$.Option B: "What shall be added to 5 to get 8?" is also close‑ended because the only possible answer is $3$.Option C: "Give any two numbers whose sum is 8" is open‑ended because many pairs (e.g., $1+7$, $2+6$, $4+4$, $0+8$) are correct.Option D: "What is the sum of 5 and 3?" is close‑ended with the single answer $8$.Only the question that allows multiple correct responses matches an open‑ended format.Answer:Option C: Give any two numbers whose sum is 8.
