Below are the answers of above passage with detailed explanation and location:
Question 1
ANSWER :B
Explanation :As mentioned in the first sentence of paragraph B, “Implicit theories of intelligence set a path in which people perceive and analyse their intelligence and compare it with others.” this paragraph describes how common people’s assumptions influence their understanding and impact their behaviour towards others and themselves. Therefore, here, the answer to the question is B.
Question 2

ANSWER :D
Explanation :In the first line of paragraph D, it is stated that, “Third, implicit theories are advantageous when an investigator accuses that existing explicit theories are not correct or misleading.” It can be summarized that the D paragraph explains that explicit and implicit theories of researchers can vary based on the fact that one of them is not correct. Therefore, here, the answer is D.
Question 4

Question 5
ANSWER :No
Explanation :In paragraph E, line two and three, it is mentioned that “As previously mentioned, people have huge expectations for intellectual designs that vary for children of different age groups.” It states that people’s expectations about what their children gain from studies are not universal. In addition, it depends on the age and culture from where the children belong. Therefore, the answer to this question is No.
Question 6
ANSWER :Yes
Explanation :In paragraph J’s line two, it is mentioned that “Until scholars are able to discuss their implicit theories and thus their assumptions, they are likely to miss the point of what others are saying.....” This line explains that researchers do talk about their assumptions and theories without having a complete understanding. Therefore, the answer is Yes.
Question 7
ANSWER :B
Explanation :In paragraph H, line one, it is stated that “The Jeffersonian view is that people should have equal opportunities, but they do not necessarily avail themselves equally of these opportunities.....” This line indicates about the theory of Jeffersonian.

So, here, the answer is B (Jeffersonian).
Question 10
ANSWER :A
Explanation :In paragraph G, line one, it is mentioned that “The Hamiltonian view, which is similar to the Platonic view, is that people are born with different levels of intelligence and that.....” In simple words, according to the theory of Hamiltonian, differences in excellence (intelligence) vary from birth.
