Successful entrepreneurs have the following qualities:

1. They are confident and believe in themselves and their abilities.
2. They keep trying new ideas in their business.
3. They are patient.
4. They are creative and think differently about business ideas.
5. They take responsibility for their actions.
6. They take decisions after thinking about them carefully.
7. They work hard.
8. They do not give up when they face difficulty.

For a 2-mark question, examiners expect any 4 relevant qualities with brief descriptions (1 mark per 2 points, or 2 points = 1 mark). Listing all 8 is safe but not required. Use the exact terms from the textbook (confident, patient, creative, etc.) — these are key terms examiners look for. Avoid vague language like "good person." No examples needed for 2 marks.

Entrepreneurs are made, not born.

This comes directly from Misconception 4 in Session 3. The textbook states that people wrongly believe only certain individuals are naturally gifted for business. The truth is entrepreneurial qualities can be learned and developed by anyone. Examiners expect the two exact words: "made" and "born" — in that order.

Wage Employed People: People who work for a person or an organization and get paid for that work. For example, a doctor working in a hospital.

Self-Employed People: People who start their own businesses to satisfy the needs of people. For example, a doctor running their own clinic.

• The examiner expects a clear, direct contrast between the two terms — ideally using the textbook definitions.
• Including one example for each (as the textbook does) strengthens the answer and is expected in a 2-mark response.
• Avoid writing lengthy paragraphs; two short, labelled definitions with examples is the ideal format here.

(A) Is the ability that is related to how a person uses his limbs in a skilled manner.

Kinesthetic intelligence refers to bodily-movement intelligence — the skill of using one's body/limbs effectively. Options B, C, and D describe Logical-Mathematical, Intrapersonal, and Spatial intelligence respectively. Note: this concept (Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences) is not covered in the provided source passages, but it is part of the Class 10 Employability Skills syllabus.

(C) Starting a business requires a large amount of initial capital.

The textbook explicitly addresses this as Misconception 2: "A misconception we have is that a person needs a lot of money to start a business." The truth is that businesses can be started with whatever capital is available. Options A, B, and D reflect actual truths about entrepreneurship, not misconceptions.

Two tasks that entrepreneurs do when they run their business are:

1. Making Decisions – An entrepreneur makes decisions every day, such as what to produce or sell, how much to produce, and where to sell.

1. Managing the Business – An entrepreneur plans the future of the business, arranges for raw materials, hires people, assigns work, and checks if the plan is being followed.

The question asks for functions (tasks) of an entrepreneur, not qualities. Examiners expect you to name the function and give a brief description — one line each is enough for a 2-mark answer. There are five functions listed in the chapter (Making Decisions, Managing the Business, Dividing Income, Taking Risk, Creating a New Method/Product); pick any two and describe them briefly. Avoid mixing up qualities (e.g., patience, creativity) with functions.

(B) Creative

Reema keeps trying new ideas for her restaurant, which shows she is creative — a key quality of an entrepreneur.

The textbook (Session 2) lists creativity as a core entrepreneurial quality: "I think of different ways to solve a problem. I am creative." Trying new ideas in a business = creativity. Options A, C, and D describe negative traits not associated with entrepreneurship.

Two common misconceptions about entrepreneurship are:

1. Every business idea needs to be unique or special. In reality, a person can take an existing idea and do something different with it to be successful.

1. A person needs a lot of money (capital) to start a business. In reality, one can start with whatever money is available and grow the business gradually.

Source: Session 3: Myths about Entrepreneurship, Chapter 4

The question asks for any two misconceptions, so pick two clearly and state the reality alongside each — examiners expect both the myth and the truth for full marks. The chapter lists four misconceptions; the two above are the most straightforward to write. Name the misconception + correct it briefly = 1 mark each.

(a) Hard working

The source passage explicitly lists "They work hard" as one of the qualities of successful entrepreneurs. Options (b), (c), and (d) are opposite to entrepreneurial qualities — successful entrepreneurs are confident, open to change, and hardworking.

Agricultural entrepreneurship is the practice of applying entrepreneurial skills and ideas to farming-related activities. Farmers identify demands in the market and use local resources creatively to run and grow their agricultural businesses.

Benefits to farmers:

• They earn more profits by trying new ideas in farming or selling.
• They create additional jobs in rural areas, helping the community.
• They become self-employed, reducing dependence on others for income.

The term "agricultural entrepreneurship" is not directly defined in the source passages, so students should combine the general definition of entrepreneurship (self-employment, identifying demand, trying new ideas) and apply it to the farming/agriculture context. For the benefits, draw on how entrepreneurs help society — creating jobs, sharing wealth, and using local materials — and relate these to farmers specifically. Examiners expect a definition + 2–3 clear benefit points for a 2-mark answer.

Two key roles performed by an entrepreneur are:

1. Creating Jobs – As an entrepreneur grows their business, they hire more people and buy materials from more suppliers, thereby providing employment to others.

1. Fulfilling Customer Needs – An entrepreneur identifies what people want (demand) and uses creativity to develop a product or service that meets that need.

The question asks for roles (what entrepreneurs do for society), not qualities or functions. Examiners expect you to name the role clearly and give a one-line explanation for each — that's the standard 1 mark per point format. Other valid roles from the chapter include: using local materials, helping society, sharing wealth, and lowering prices of products. Any two with brief explanation will earn full marks.

Two types of intelligences are linguistic intelligence (ability with language) and logical-mathematical intelligence (ability with numbers and reasoning).

The question is about Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences. While the source passages do not explicitly list all nine types, the examiner expects you to recall any two from general CBSE course knowledge: e.g., linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily-kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic, existential. Any two correct names earn the mark.

(b) Innovation

An entrepreneur always tries new ideas and creates new methods, products, or services to improve their business and meet customer needs.

Source: Session 2: Qualities and Functions of an Entrepreneur, Chapter 4

---

The textbook lists the functions of an entrepreneur, which include making decisions, managing the business, dividing income, taking risk, and creating a new method/idea/product (innovation). The other options are incorrect because: (a) entrepreneurs try new ideas, not follow tradition; (c) entrepreneurs divide income among materials, rent, salaries, etc.; (d) making decisions is a key function, not avoiding them. For MCQs, eliminate wrong options using the source text.

(b) Preferably using foreign materials

According to the textbook, entrepreneurs are expected to use local materials (resources available around them) — not foreign materials. The other options — sharing of wealth, fulfilling customer needs, and helping society — are all recognised roles/tasks of an entrepreneur.

Source: Session 1: Entrepreneurship and Society, Chapter 4

---

The chapter explicitly states that one function of an entrepreneur is to "Use Local Materials" — using material and people available around them to make products at low cost. "Preferably using foreign materials" directly contradicts this, making it the odd one out. Examiners expect you to recall this specific point from the functions/roles of an entrepreneur.

The four common functions of an entrepreneur are:

1. Making Decisions – An entrepreneur makes daily decisions about what to produce, how much to produce, and where to sell.
2. Managing the Business – Plans the future, arranges raw materials, hires people, and checks if plans are followed.
3. Dividing Income – Distributes business money to buy materials, pay rent, and pay salaries.
4. Taking Risk – Bears the risk of losses due to fires, theft, or unsold goods.

(A fifth function is creating a new method, idea, or product.)

The question asks for any four functions, so listing exactly four with brief descriptions is sufficient. The source lists five functions (Figure 4.8): making decisions, managing the business, dividing income, taking risk, and creating a new method/idea/product — any four will earn full marks. Examiners look for the correct function name + a one-line description for each. Do not confuse functions (what they do) with qualities (how they think/behave).

This statement is a myth (misconception). A person can take an existing idea and do something different with it to succeed, as seen in Ganesh's car rental business that added luxury cars.

Source: Chapter 4, Session 3 — Myths about Entrepreneurship

Examiners expect the student to clearly label it as a myth/misconception and give a brief reason or example from the text. Quoting or paraphrasing the Ganesh example directly from the passage strengthens the answer. Avoid writing more than 1–2 lines for a 1-mark question.

Wage employment is when a person works for someone else (a person or an organization) and gets paid for that work.

Source: Chapter 4, Session 1 & Session 4

The examiner wants a simple, definition-style answer. The key elements are: (1) working for someone else, and (2) receiving payment/wages. Do not confuse it with self-employment.
