Explanation
★The characteristics are the cooperative determination of subject matter and the emphasis on variability of exposure, so the answer is 2 and 4.
★The learner-centred approach treats learners as active agents in their own learning.
★The teacher and learners decide the subject matter together, matching item 2.
★It offers varied exposure suited to different learners, matching item 4.
★It does not use a rigid curriculum, so that feature does not fit.
★It is centred on the learner, not on the teacher's needs.
★So the answer is items 2 and 4.
