Q1Following test item is an example of : You will hear two words, listen to them to determine whether they rhyme perfectly with each other. Sky and Die Indicate your answer as follows : A = Rhyme B = don't rhyme
Option A is correct because the test asks learners to hear two words and decide whether they rhyme. The skill being assessed is auditory discrimination, so it is a listening test. It does not require producing speech, reading a written passage, or writing an answer beyond marking the choice.
Q2Unfamiliar routes of the city transport buses. Identify the head word in the above phrase.
Option B is correct because the phrase is built around the noun “routes.” “Unfamiliar” describes the routes, and “of the city transport buses” further specifies them. Therefore “routes” is the head word that controls the meaning of the whole noun phrase.
Q3Identify the correct option to fill in the blank : He ________ faster than we did.
Option A is correct because the comparison is with "we did," which shows past time. The main verb should therefore be the simple past form "ran." "Running," "run," and "runs" do not agree with the past-tense structure of the sentence.
Q4Children unwilling to learn. The 'head word' in the above phrase is
Option C is correct because the phrase refers to the noun “Children.” The words “unwilling to learn” describe which children are being talked about. Since the main noun of the noun phrase is “Children,” it is the head word.
Q5‘Hyperbole’ is
Option B is correct because hyperbole is a figure of speech based on deliberate exaggeration. It uses extravagant or overstated expressions for emphasis, not for literal truth. The other options describe different figures or usages such as malapropism, zeugma, or dysphemism.
