Answer 2

Here’s the correct matching of approaches in Human Geography with their broad features:

(A) Areal Differentiation: This approach focuses on identifying the uniqueness of a region and understanding how and why it is different. It looks at the distinctiveness of different regions and landscapes.

• (I) Identifying the uniqueness of any region and understanding how and why it is different.

(B) Spatial Organisation: This approach deals with the spatial distribution and arrangement of human activities and physical features in space. It involves the application of quantitative techniques in Geography to understand patterns and structures.

• (II) Application of quantitative techniques in Geography.

(C) Behavioural School: The Behavioural School emerged as a reaction to the quantitative revolution and its dehumanized approach to Geography. It emphasizes the human element in geographic studies, focusing on the behavior of individuals and groups.

• (IV) Focus on local context.

(D) Post-modernism: Post-modernism is critical of grand narratives and rigid structures. It arose out of discontent with the quantitative revolution, emphasizing local perspectives and deconstructing traditional geographical paradigms.

• (III) Discontent with quantitative revolution and its dehumanized manner of doing Geography.

Thus, the correct match is (C) : (A) – (I), (B) – (II), (C) – (IV), (D) – (III).
