Explanation
★All five statements describe good teaching, so the answer is 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
★The analytic-synthetic method breaks a problem into parts and then joins the parts into a whole, which suits sound teaching.
★Books serve well as a source when their contents are illustrative, since examples make ideas clearer.
★Developing an inquiring mind is a proper aim, because good teaching should make students question and seek knowledge.
★Motivating students for self-learning is valuable, as learning grows strongest when the learner works on his own.
★Being both compassionate and a disciplinarian is fitting, since warmth and firm order together create a good learning climate.
