A1, 2 and 4

B2 and 4 ✓ Correct

C2, 3 and 5

D1, 3 and 5

Correct answer: (B) 2 and 4

Explanation

In online teaching the learner has a greater role in the instructional process and there are more chances of self-learning and motivation, so statements 2 and 4 are the answer.

Online methods are learner-centred, placing the student at the heart of constructing knowledge.

They open wide scope for self-paced, self-driven study and intrinsic motivation.

The claim that the teacher does not help construct knowledge (statement 1) is false, since the online teacher facilitates it.

Delivery online is not always verbal (statement 3); it uses multimedia, text and interaction.

Online learning is flexible rather than rigid (statement 5), allowing varied pace and paths.
