A.
Situation approach
B.
Communicative approach
C.
Demonstration approach
D.
Direct approach

Solution:

The approach describes the nature of the subject matter to be taught. It is only a notion or an idea that may or may not be effective. An approach is concerned not only with how to teach but also with what to teach.It is a matter of principles derived from experience and is based on the psychological learning of the teaching-learning process.? Different approaches are used by the teacher to teach the English language. One such approach is Situational Approach. The situational approach suggests that any language item, whether it is a structure or a word, should not be presented in isolation. It has to be introduced and practiced in a context or situation.In the situational approach, explanations are discouraged and the learner is expected to apply the language learned in the classroom to a situation inside and outside the classroom.The Situational Approach is organized in terms of the purposes for which people are learning languages and the kind of language performance that is necessary to meet those purposes.By using situations the use of the mother tongue can be avoided. If the language item is given in meaningful situations the learner can deduce the meaning and context from the situation in which it is used. It is based on the fact that language is used to refer to a particular context or situation. It is very important in language teaching classrooms to create situations that make the learners use the known words and sentences. Hence, from the above explanation, it can be concluded that the above illustration best describes the Situation Approach to teaching as here the teacher is creating a situation for better understanding of learners.HintThe communicative approach is a method of language teaching which makes learners confident to communicate effectively by involving them in real communication.The direct approach focuses on speaking skills and emphasizes learning the target language directly without translating it into the mother tongue.The demonstration approach is a strategy in which a teacher demonstrates concepts and students learn by observing.
