Answer 1

The statement that is not a benefit of student self-assessment is:

"Allows learners to decide on the kind of activity they should be given next time."

While student self-assessment allows learners to reflect on their progress and identify areas for improvement, the decision on the specific activities or tasks they should engage with next is typically made by the educator or teacher, based on curriculum goals and educational standards.
