Practice questions

Q1Asha writes: “The road was flooded; ___, the bus was cancelled.” Which connector best fits?

A however
B therefore
C although
D for example
Explanation

B is correct because the relation is cause to result: flooding led to cancellation. The distractors are plausible linking devices, but each signals a different relation from the one in Asha’s sentence.

Q2Match relation to connector: 1 contrast, 2 result, 3 example, 4 time. Which sequence fits: however, therefore, for instance, meanwhile?

A 1-2-4-3
B 1-2-3-4
C 2-1-3-4
D 4-3-2-1
Explanation

B is correct: however signals contrast, therefore result, for instance example, and meanwhile time. The hard part is not the vocabulary but resisting a sequence-pattern guess.

Q3Which exact grammar cluster is named in the RBSE Level 2 Language II English unseen prose block?

A Linking Devices, Subject-Verb Concord, Inferences
B Modal Auxiliaries, Phrasal Verbs and Idioms
C Alliteration, Simile, Metaphor and Rhyme
D Methods of Evaluation and Remedial Teaching
Explanation

The correct answer is A because the RBSE PDF line itself names the three-part cluster. Options B, C and D are real syllabus neighbours, so the trap is boundary confusion rather than invented content.

Q4Which pair is best for remedial teaching after Imran chooses however in a cause-result sentence? I. Ask him to name the relation between clauses. II. Give ten unrelated spelling words.

A Only II
B Only I
C Both I and II
D Neither I nor II
Explanation

B is correct because remedial teaching begins from the learner’s specific error. Imran did not show a spelling problem; he confused contrast with result, so relation naming is the focused repair.

Q5Which sentence has correct subject-verb concord?

A Each of the players has a badge.
B Each of the players have a badge.
C A packet of crayons are on the shelf.
D Everyone in the two teams have a turn.
Explanation

A is correct. The item checks whether Karan can ignore the plural noun inside the phrase and make the verb agree with each, the real subject idea.
