1Read the passage and answer the question that follows. "There is a small kitchen garden behind our school. Children of Class IV and Class V take turns to look after it. They water the plants every morning before the assembly bell rings. Lata and her friends have grown carrots, spinach and tomatoes in the garden. The tomatoes are still green, but the spinach is ready. On Saturday, the cook used the fresh spinach in the school meal. The children felt happy that the food on their plates came from their own garden." Consider the following two statements about the passage and decide which are correct. 1. The children water the plants in the kitchen garden every morning before the assembly bell rings. 2. Only Lata is responsible for looking after the entire kitchen garden behind the school by herself. Which of the following is correct?

A Statement 1 is supported by the passage, but statement 2 is not supported by the passage.

B Statement 2 is supported by the passage, but statement 1 is not supported by the passage.

C Both statement 1 and statement 2 are clearly supported by the passage on a careful reading.

D Neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is supported by the passage on any close reading.

2A primary teacher writes the sentence "The mango is sweet." on the board to illustrate one degree of comparison. Which degree does this sentence show?

A Positive degree, because the adjective sweet describes one noun without comparing it to anything else

B Comparative degree, because the adjective ends in the regular suffix and compares two items

C Superlative degree, because the noun mango is treated as the best in a class

D Double comparative, because the sentence quietly implies comparison with another fruit

3Which option correctly describes the meaningful-contextualisation principle as it appears in NCF 2005 Position Paper on Teaching of English for the primary stage?

A New English words and structures are taught inside a meaningful situation a child recognises, such as a story, a game, a classroom routine or an everyday event, rather than as an isolated list to be memorised.

B New English words are written on the blackboard in alphabetical order so that children learn vocabulary by neat groups rather than through context.

C The teacher introduces English words by their Hindi translation alone, without any picture, story or activity, so that the meaning is transferred quickly to the child's first language.

D The teacher gives a printed worksheet of fill-in-the-blank exercises before any oral or activity-based introduction, so that children learn by silent practice.

4Match each active voice sentence in List I with its correct passive voice transformation in List II. List I: (a) "Sita writes a letter." (b) "Ravi played the drum." (c) "The teacher will mark the books." (d) "Children are reading the story." List II: (1) "The drum was played by Ravi." (2) "The story is being read by children." (3) "The books will be marked by the teacher." (4) "A letter is written by Sita."

A (a)-(1), (b)-(2), (c)-(3), (d)-(4)

B (a)-(2), (b)-(4), (c)-(1), (d)-(3)

C (a)-(3), (b)-(1), (c)-(4), (d)-(2)

D (a)-(4), (b)-(1), (c)-(3), (d)-(2)

5Read the assertion (A) and the reason (R) about teaching determiners at primary level. Assertion (A): A primary teacher should introduce the demonstrative determiners 'this', 'that', 'these', and 'those' to Class II learners using physical classroom objects rather than picture cards alone. Reason (R): The demonstrative system in English is based purely on grammatical gender and not on physical proximity, so visual cues are unnecessary.

A Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

C (A) is true but (R) is false.

D (A) is false but (R) is true.
