Explanation
The provided context contains the questions and activity sections but lacks the detailed chapter text regarding COPRA, consumer courts, and specific certifications. However, based on the general knowledge expected of an NCERT Class 10 Social Science teacher and the inferences from the provided text snippet (for part vi), the answers are determined as follows:
(i) COPRA (Consumer Protection Act) applies to both goods and services, not just goods. (ii) India has established a three-tier quasi-judicial machinery for consumer disputes redressal (District, State, National), making the statement True. (iii) A consumer must file a case in the appropriate commission based on the value of the claim (District < 1 Cr, State 1 Cr-10 Cr, National > 10 Cr), not necessarily the District Commission for all cases. (iv) It is worthwhile to move to consumer commissions even for small damages to uphold rights and set precedents; the fee is nominal. (v) Hallmark is the certification for gold jewelry. (vi) The provided text mentions struggles against false claims took 'years of struggle' and 'long battle', implying the process is not simple and quick. (vii) Consumers have the right to seek compensation for damage.
