How the 80 marks are divided

  • A · Unseen comprehension (10 marks)
  • B · Creative writing (15 marks)
  • C · Applied grammar (25 marks)
  • D · Prescribed-text comprehension (30 marks)

Check the instruction above each part. A one-word response, a complete sentence and a rewritten dialogue require different answer formats.

Question 1 ई(i–ii) · Find the subject and verb

For कर्तृपदम्, ask who is doing the action. In part (i) the answer is जनाः, option (ख). For क्रियापदम्, look for the word expressing the action. In part (ii) it is अनुसरन्ति, option (घ), meaning “they follow.”

कर्ता खोजने के लिए पूछिए “कौन?” और क्रिया के लिए “क्या करते हैं?” बहुवचन कर्ता जनाः के साथ बहुवचन क्रिया अनुसरन्ति है।

Question 4 · Complete the dialogue or story

Dialogue option

Match the speaker’s reply to the question immediately before it. Blank (i) follows a question about knowledge of the stars, so choose the word-box line where the boatman says he lacks that knowledge but sees the stars daily. Blank (ii) follows a question about mathematics, so choose the reply about knowing how to count. In the printed word box these are choices (v) and (i), respectively.

Story option

For blank (ii), use मार्गे, “on the road.” The preceding word तस्मिन् already points to a location. For blank (iii), use हस्तिपकः, the elephant handler who calls out the warning.

संवाद में पहले प्रश्न का विषय पहचानिए। कहानी में अर्थ और विभक्ति दोनों देखिए। तस्मिन् मार्गे का अर्थ है “उस मार्ग पर।” जिस विकल्प को चुनें, उसे प्रश्न के निर्देश के अनुसार पूरा लिखिए।

Questions 9 and 11 · Time expressions and verb agreement

Question 9 · Fill the time expression

The paper already prints the ending after each blank. The table separates the part you supply from the complete expression.

Code 119 · Question 9, in paper order
TimeWrite in the blankComplete expressionWhy
12:30सार्धद्वादशसार्धद्वादशवादनेHalf past twelve. Start with twelve.
8:45पादोननवपादोननववादनपर्यन्तम्A quarter to nine. The sentence says “until,” so keep the printed ending.
5:15सपादपञ्चसपादपञ्चवादनेA quarter past five. Keep the current hour.

45 मिनट होने पर अगले घंटे में पंद्रह मिनट शेष होते हैं। इसलिए 8:45 में पादोन के साथ नौ का प्रयोग करें।

Question 11(ii–iii) · Correct the verb

In (ii), पिता is third-person singular, so choose यच्छति, option (घ). In (iii), त्वम् is second-person singular, so choose वाञ्छसि, option (ग). Rewrite the complete sentences as instructed.

क्रिया चुनने से पहले कर्ता पहचानिए। एकवचन पिता के साथ यच्छति और त्वम् के साथ वाञ्छसि लिखिए।

Question 12 I(ii) · Answer in one word

The question asks where the character returned. Scan for the verb meaning “returned” and identify the destination. Write स्वगृहम्, meaning “his own home.” Keep the form used in the passage.

प्रश्न में कुत्र से स्थान पूछा गया है और निर्देश एक पद का है। गद्यांश से केवल स्वगृहम् लिखिए।

Try two new questions

  1. Write “at a quarter to seven” in Sanskrit.
  2. Choose the verb that agrees with त्वम् in त्वं पत्रं ___। Options: लिखति / लिखसि.
Check the answers
  1. पादोनसप्तवादने. Use seven because 6:45 is a quarter to seven.
  2. लिखसि. The subject त्वम् requires the second-person singular form.
