Options:

Aptitude

Talent

Interest

Gifted

Correct Answer:

Interest

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3: Interest

"Interest is a natural inclination or desire to engage in an activity. It is a positive feeling or attraction that someone has for something. In this case, Jayoshree has an interest in singing because she enjoys it and spends her free time doing it."

Here is a breakdown of the different domains:

  • Aptitude:Aptitude refers to an individual’s underlying potential for acquiring skills. However, in the given question, there is no mention or assessment of Jayoshree’s potential to improve her singing abilities through training or otherwise. The focus is solely on the fact that she enjoys singing and spends time on it despite lacking rhythm and tone. This clearly reflects her interest in the activity, not her aptitude. Therefore, the correct answer is interest, as the situation highlights what she enjoys doing, not what she is potentially capable of mastering.

  • Talent: Talent is a developed skill or ability in a particular area. It is something that you have learned to do well through practice and experience.

  • Interest: Interest is a natural inclination or desire to engage in an activity. It is a positive feeling or attraction that someone has for something.

  • Gifted: Gifted is a term used to describe someone who has exceptionally high natural abilities or talents.
