Question

Match List-I with List-II
List-I (Communication method):
(A) Farmer's call
(B) Group meeting
(C) Study tour
(D) Exhibition
List-II (Objective):
(I) To generate new ideas and methods and select the rational one through group interaction.
(II) To understand the gap in technology adoption.
(III) To promote visual literacy.
(IV) To get quick solution of the problems relating to farm and home.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)
• (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)

Hint:

An "exhibition" relies heavily on visual aids, meaning it is designed to promote visual literacy (D matches III). A "farmer's call" is an urgent, individual request for a quick solution (A matches IV).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Agricultural extension methods are classified as individual, group, or mass contact methods.
Each contact method has specific operational objectives to address different learning needs.
Detailed Explanation:
Let us match each extension method with its primary objective:
- (A) Farmer's call: This is an individual contact method where a farmer contacts an extension worker directly to get a (IV) quick solution to specific problems relating to farm and home.
- (B) Group meeting: This is a group contact method designed to facilitate discussion among a small group of farmers to (I) generate new ideas and methods and select the most rational one through group interaction.
- (C) Study tour: This group method involves taking a group of farmers to see successful farms, helping them (II) understand the gap in technology adoption by observing recommended practices in action.
- (D) Exhibition: This mass contact method uses visual displays, models, and specimens to attract attention and (III) promote visual literacy among a large audience.
This gives the matched sequence:
\[ \text{(A) - (IV), (B) - (I), (C) - (II), (D) - (III)} \]

Step 2: Final Answer:
The matched sequence corresponds to Option (A).
