Directions: Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow (Q. No. 97 to 105) by selecting the most appropriate option.

Clearly the socialization of gender is reinforced at school. "Because classrooms are microcosms of society, mirroring its strengths and ills alike, it follows that the normal socialization patterns of young children that often lead to distorted perceptions of gender roles are reflected in the classrooms." (Marshall, 1997). Yet gender bias in education reaches beyond socialization patterns, bias is embedded in textbooks, lessons, and teacher interactions with students. This type of gender bias is part of the hidden curriculum of lessons taught implicitly to students through the everyday functioning of their classroom.

Research has found that boys were far more likely to receive praise or remediation from a teacher than were girls. The girls were most likely to receive an acknowledgement response from their teacher. They give boys greater opportunity to expand ideas and be animated than they do girls and that they reinforce boys more for general responses than they do for girls. Clearly the socialization of gender roles and the use of a gender-biased hidden curriculum lead to an inequitable education for boys and girls. Gender bias in education is an insidious problem that causes very few people to stand up and take notice.

विद्याभ्यासी पुरुष को साथियों का अभाव कभी नहीं रहता। उसकी कोठरी में सदा ऐसे लोगों का वास रहता हैं, जो अमर हैं। वे उसके प्रति सहानुभूति प्रकट करने और उसे समझाने के लिए सदा प्रस्तुत रहते हैं। कवि, दार्शनिक और विद्वान् जिन्होंने प्रकृति के रहस्यों का उद्घाटन किया है और बड़े-बड़े महात्मा, जिन्होंने आत्मा के गूढ़ रहस्यों की थाह लगा ली है, सदा उसकी बातें सुनने और उसकी शंकाओं का समाधान करने के लिए उद्यत रहते हैं।

बिना किसी उद्देश्य के सरसरी तौर पर पुस्तकों के पन्ने उलटते जाना अध्ययन नहीं है। लिखी हुई बातों को विचारपूर्वक पूर्णरूप से हृदय से ग्रहण करने का नाम अध्ययन है। प्रत्येक स्त्री-पुरुष को अपने पढ़ने का उद्देश्य स्थित कर लेना चाहिए। इसके लिए सबसे मुख्य बात यह है कि पढ़ना नियमपूर्वक हो आर्थात् इसके लिए नित्य का समय उपयुक्त होता है।
