UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

The Law of Readiness states that an individual responds effectively only when they are physically and mentally ready to engage with the material.

For adolescents, this readiness is closely tied to their current stage of mental development, including their reasoning ability and capacity to grasp abstract ideas.

Teaching that ignores this readiness, focuses only on rote memorization, or narrows attention purely to the syllabus fails to match what the adolescent mind can meaningfully process.

Therefore, the Law of Readiness implies that teaching should suit the adolescent's level of mental development and ability to understand.
