This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Gradually scaffold participation with peer support

Inclusive teaching practice requires addressing a learner's specific difficulty, here social anxiety, with sensitivity rather than exclusion or harsh confrontation.

Gradually scaffolding participation with peer support allows the student to build confidence in manageable steps, using supportive classmates as a bridge, which respects the student's anxiety while still working toward full participation.

Permanent exemption denies the student the chance to grow, while public criticism and forced immediate participation would worsen the anxiety and could cause further withdrawal.

Therefore, the correct answer is gradually scaffolding participation with peer support.
