Question

[1]. Passage: Examinations often teach students to fear mistakes, yet in most real learning a mistake is the first clear evidence of a gap. A student who writes a wrong answer and then traces why it went wrong learns more than a student who copies a correct answer without understanding it. Schools therefore need two different moments: a moment for practice where errors are examined openly, and a moment for assessment where performance is judged. When every practice task is also graded harshly, students hide errors, and teachers lose the very information that could help them teach. The passage's central distinction is between:

1.
Marks and ranks
2.
Practice where errors are examined, and assessment where performance is judged
3.
Easy and difficult examinations
4.
School and home learning
