How to work through the four sections
- A · Unseen comprehension (10 marks)
- B · Creative writing (15 marks)
- C · Applied grammar (25 marks)
- D · Prescribed-text comprehension (30 marks)
A: match the requested answer length before writing. B: in translation, identify the subject and number, then check the verb ending. C: write the requested form or option. D: use the prescribed text and check whether the question asks for a word or a sentence.
Question 1 · Choose a title
Choose a title that captures what the whole passage is about. Here the father sets a test to judge his sons' intelligence. A title about the test fits better than a title naming only the property. The marking scheme allows other suitable titles.
शीर्षक पूरे गद्यांश के मुख्य विचार पर रखें। इस गद्यांश में मुख्य बात पुत्रों की बुद्धि की परीक्षा है।
Question 4(i) · Translate a sentence
Use a time expression for the rainy season. The farmers are the subject, so use the nominative plural. Make the adjective and verb agree with that plural subject.
Model answer: वर्षाकाले कृषकाः प्रसन्नाः भवन्ति।
कृषकाः बहुवचन है। इसलिए प्रसन्नाः और भवन्ति का प्रयोग करें।
Question 6(ii) · Compound meaning
Answer: Option (ग). Read the compound as “one that gives water.” In context it refers to a cloud. Treat water as the object of giving. An expansion that means “given by water” changes the relationship between the two parts.
पहले अर्थ पहचानें: “जो जल देता है।” यहाँ जल कर्म है। इसलिए उस विकल्प को चुनें जिसमें जल देने की क्रिया का कर्म है।
Question 9 · Telling the time
Each answer earns one mark. The table shows the complete time expressions. In the paper, वादने is printed after each blank, so fill only the missing part when writing in the blank.
| Part | Answer | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| (i) | सार्धचतुर्वादने | 4:30 is half past four. |
| (ii) | पादोनषड्वादने | 5:45 is a quarter to six. Base the expression on six. |
| (iii) | सपादसप्तवादने | 7:15 is a quarter past seven. |
| (iv) | नववादने | 9:00 is on the hour, so no fractional prefix is needed. |
ध्यान दें: 5:45 में छह बजने में पंद्रह मिनट शेष हैं। इसलिए पादोन के साथ अगले घंटे का प्रयोग करें।
Question 12 I(ii) · Answer in one word
The question asks what the thief took away. Find the object of the action in the passage and retain its case ending. The answer is मञ्जूषाम्, meaning “a box.” A whole sentence is unnecessary for this half-mark item.
प्रश्न में एक पद माँगा गया है। गद्यांश में दिए गए कर्म का रूप और उसकी विभक्ति बनाए रखें।
