Answer 1

Answer: Option (b) Deciding the purpose (objective) for the lesson -- is the correct option.

Justification: In any study, it is of sole need to set up an objective, keeping which in mind we proceed accordingly and set up the necessary accessories for that. The first step in conducting any program is to identify and define the focus of it. One would want to develop some questions about the area of the focus,i.e., regarding its requirement.
