Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
The teaching of Social Science is meant to build a rational, systemic understanding of social institutions, events and issues, together with an affective orientation of sensitivity and curiosity toward society. It is not meant to be reduced to rote transmission of subject details, and it is not something left to unfold on its own as learners mature — it requires deliberate, guided teaching.
Application
Statement A (systemic analysis of issues) matches this aim directly — it is true.
Statement B (students will grow up and find out for themselves) removes the teacher's active role and treats understanding as something that emerges unaided — it is false.
Statement C (focus on subject details rather than understanding) inverts the discipline's aim by privileging factual recall over conceptual grasp — it is false.
Statement D (building sensitivity and curiosity as much as providing information) matches the affective goal directly — it is true.
Cross-check
Since exactly A and D hold while B and C do not, the pairing that contains precisely the two true statements, and none of the false ones, is the one combining A and D.
