  2. B.testing learners writing abilities in the class.
  3. C.measuring retention of information by learners.
  4. D.evaluation of learners ability to extrapolate their learning to various life situations.✓ Correct

Explanation

Assessment in social science should focus on whether learners can apply, extrapolate, and connect their learning to various real-life situations, rather than merely measuring rote memorisation, writing ability, or labelling learners as failing. This aligns with constructivist pedagogy and NCF 2005's emphasis on meaningful, holistic assessment.
