10 Questions language-ii-english

Q1. Which sequence best follows a context-first teaching method for idioms?

A Give 50 meanings, test spelling, then show one sentence

B Show a short situation, discuss what happened, infer the idiom meaning, use it in a new sentence Correct

C Translate every idiom into Hindi and stop there

D Ask learners to copy the dictionary page silently

Explanation

Option B is correct because it follows the teaching path used for Asha and Imran in the note: context, discussion, meaning, and fresh use. That order supports comprehension and classroom application.

Q2. Devika uses 'kicked the bucket' in a respectful school notice about a retired teacher's death. What feedback is best?

A It is suitable because every idiom improves formal writing

B It is wrong because idioms never have meanings

C It should be replaced by a respectful expression such as died or passed away Correct

D It should be translated word by word into Hindi first

Explanation

Option C is correct. The idiom has a known meaning, but it is too informal and disrespectful for a school notice. The feedback should teach Devika register control along with vocabulary.

Q3. Match the expression with the best classroom meaning: 1. keep an eye on 2. give up 3. spill the beans 4. under the weather

A 1-watch carefully, 2-stop trying, 3-reveal a secret, 4-feel ill Correct

B 1-search in a book, 2-donate, 3-cook beans, 4-stand outside

C 1-close the eye, 2-climb up, 3-buy food, 4-study weather

D 1-ignore, 2-try harder, 3-hide a secret, 4-feel proud

Explanation

Option A is the only fully correct match-list. It checks four expressions from the classroom plan and avoids the literal picture trap that often attracts learners during quick MCQ solving.

Q4. Asha reads 'The test was a piece of cake' after Karan scores full marks. What does the idiom mean?

A The test had food questions

B The test was easy Correct

C The test was about baking

D The test was unfair

Explanation

Option B fits because a piece of cake means an easy task. Asha must use Karan's full-mark context, not the literal food image, which is the exact trap this topic trains learners to avoid.

Q5. In the RBSE Language II English syllabus, which expression directly supports this topic?

A Phrasal Verbs and Idioms Correct

B Only formal letter writing

C Only spoken Sanskrit drills

D Only Hindi proverbs

Explanation

Option A is correct because the verified RBSE PDF line explicitly includes Phrasal Verbs and Idioms. The other options move to writing formats, other languages, or Hindi proverb study, so they do not anchor this Level 2 Language II English topic.
