alleryNCERT adds that language growth needs input plus:
ARote repetition drills
BComprehensible output
CA ban on mother tongue
DOnly silent reading
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Comprehensible output
1. NCERT says approaches need not be exclusive.
2. They may be mutually supportive within a broad cognitive philosophy.
3. For example, language growth might require comprehensible output as well as comprehensible input.
4. Rote repetition, a mother-tongue ban and silent reading only are not suggested.
**Why not the others:** Rote repetition, banning the mother tongue and silent reading only are not what NCERT recommends alongside input.
