Question
[3]. Passage: In many classrooms the phone has become a silent rival to the teacher. A notification, even when ignored, splits attention and leaves a residue that makes the next five minutes of explanation harder to follow. Research on divided attention shows that students who keep devices face-down but within reach recall less than those who keep them out of sight altogether. The problem is not technology itself but unmanaged access: the same device that distracts can also simulate a laboratory, translate a passage, or bring an archive into a village school. Schools therefore need rules that are consistent, explained, and enforced without humiliation, combined with lessons that deliberately teach self-regulation rather than merely punishing lapses. In the passage, the word 'residue' most nearly means:
Option 1 : a remaining effect that continues after the original cause has passed
Detailed Solution
सही उत्तर a remaining effect that continues after the original cause has passed है।
In context the word is used in the sense given in the correct option; the distractors fit other contexts, not this passage.
