22. In Bruner’s theory, which mode of representation involves using words and symbols to understand concepts?

23. Which of the following is a practical classroom application of Bruner’s theory?

24. Klausmeir’s classification of concept formation includes how many levels?

25. According to Klausmeier, what is the most advanced level of concept formation?

26. A teacher asks students to explain the concept of “ecosystem” using real-life examples, images, and discussions. At which level of Klausmeier’s classification is this learning happening?

27. Assertion (A): Children in the concrete operational stage can understand the concept of reversibility.
