1Anthropology is best described as the study of:
A.Humans in biological, cultural, social, and temporal dimensions
B.Only ancient human bones
C.Only modern urban politics
D.Only animal behaviour in laboratories
Explanation: Anthropology studies humankind holistically — biology, culture, society, language, and the human past — across time and space. It is not limited to fossils, politics, or animal behaviour alone.
2The Latin root scientia, from which ‘science’ is derived, basically means:
A.To invent machines
B.To know
C.To predict the stock market
D.To memorize rules only
Explanation: Science comes from Latin scientia, ‘to know’. In SCERT Class 12 Anthropology, science is treated as systematic ways of obtaining objective knowledge about the world.
3Which statement best captures a core characteristic of the scientific method?
A.It relies only on personal belief without observation
B.It forbids testing any hypothesis
C.It is empirical, systematic, and open to revision with new evidence
D.It accepts only supernatural explanations
Explanation: Scientific method emphasises empirical observation, systematic planning, search for causes, objectivity, and provisional results that can be revised when better evidence appears.
4In anthropological research, ‘methodology’ mainly refers to:
A.Only the final printed report title
B.Buying laboratory chemicals only
C.The name of the research village alone
D.The structural procedures and rules guiding scientific investigation
Explanation: Methodology is the set of structural procedures and rules that distinguish scientific research from non-scientific investigation. Methods are the specific techniques used within that framework.
5Primary data in anthropology are best defined as:
A.Data collected first-hand by the researcher through fieldwork or direct interaction
B.Data copied only from Wikipedia summaries
C.Only government gazetteers never revisited
D.Data that must be at least 100 years old
Explanation: Primary data are first-hand data generated by the researcher (observation, interviews, surveys, genealogies, etc.). Secondary data come from existing documents and earlier studies.
6Participant observation is a hallmark method in anthropology because the researcher:
A.Never speaks to community members
B.Lives among people and observes while taking part in daily life as appropriate
C.Only mails questionnaires from another country
D.Studies only laboratory rats
Explanation: Participant observation involves prolonged fieldwork among people, combining participation in daily activities with careful observation to grasp emic meanings and social life holistically.
7Which pair correctly contrasts qualitative and quantitative anthropological data?
A.Qualitative = only numbers; quantitative = only myths
B.Both mean the same thing always
C.Qualitative = non-numeric meanings/descriptions; quantitative = numeric/countable measures
D.Quantitative data cannot be used in anthropology at all
Explanation: Qualitative data capture meanings, narratives, and descriptions; quantitative data are numeric counts or measures. Anthropology often combines both without abandoning holistic fieldwork.
8The genealogical method in anthropology is primarily used to:
A.Measure skull capacity only
B.Date pottery by thermoluminescence alone
C.Translate all local languages into Latin
D.Map kinship relations and descent using systematic kinship diagrams
Explanation: W.H.R. Rivers popularised the genealogical method: systematically recording kin relations with standard symbols to understand marriage, descent, inheritance, and social organisation.
9A structured interview in anthropological research typically:
A.Follows predetermined questions and a relatively standardised format
B.Uses no pre-planned questions at all
C.Must be conducted only in dreams
D.Forbids recording any answers
Explanation: Structured (formal) interviews use pre-determined questions and standardised techniques so responses can be compared more systematically across informants.
10Which tool is filled by respondents themselves, usually in writing?
A.Participant observation diary only
B.Questionnaire
C.Only a radiocarbon sample
D.Megalith excavation trowel
Explanation: A questionnaire is a written set of questions typically completed by respondents. A schedule is usually filled by the investigator while interviewing, allowing clarification and rapport.
