Our Responsibilities — Important Questions

Election

Step 1: In a country, people need leaders to run the government and work for everyone's welfare. Step 2: The process by which people choose their leaders is called an election. Step 3: A campaign is the effort made before elections, not the process itself. Step 4: A survey is when you collect opinions, and selection usually means choosing without voting. Therefore, the correct answer is Election.

Every 5 years

Step 1: In India, the government is elected by the people. Step 2: Elections are held every five years to choose new leaders. Step 3: This gives elected leaders enough time to work for the country. Step 4: After five years, people get a chance to vote again and choose their leaders. So the correct answer is every 5 years.

18 years

Step 1: Not everyone can vote in India — there is a minimum age requirement. Step 2: All Indian citizens who are 18 years of age and above are allowed to vote. Step 3: This right to vote is one of the most important rights of a citizen. Step 4: Voting at 16 or 21 years are incorrect as the law clearly states 18 years. Therefore, the correct answer is 18 years.

Polling booth

Step 1: During an election, voters need to go to a specific place to cast their vote. Step 2: This special place is called a polling booth. Step 3: Polling booths are set up in schools, community halls, and other public buildings. Step 4: Post offices, hospitals, and government offices serve different purposes and are not used for voting. Therefore, the correct answer is polling booth.
