sanskrit-vakya-rachna-sa-l2 MCQ — 10 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The rendering bālikā lekhanyā likhati is correct: in the anuvāda procedure, find the verb (likhati), the kartā (bālikā, prathamā), then the pen's role. The pen is the means of writing, so it is karaṇa kāraka and takes tṛtīyā: lekhanyā. The lekhanīṃ version makes the pen karma, the bālikāyāḥ version demotes the agent to ṣaṣṭhī, and the lekhanyai version makes the pen sampradāna — each assigns a wrong kāraka and breaks the intended meaning.

Explanation

The sentence mīnā na gacchati is correct: a niṣedha-vākya is formed by placing the particle na before the finite verb, so mīnā na gacchati means Meena does not go. The kiṃ mīnā gacchati version uses the interrogative kim and becomes a question, the mīnā gaccha version uses the loṭ command gaccha, and the mīnā gacchati eva version uses the emphatic eva, which strengthens rather than negates — each changes the sentence purpose.

Explanation

The dual form paṭhathaḥ is correct: yuvām is the second-person dual pronoun, so the verb must be madhyama-puruṣa dvivacana in laṭ, which for paṭh is paṭhathaḥ. The form paṭhasi is second-person singular, paṭhatha is second-person plural, and paṭhāvaḥ is first-person dual — each fails either the puruṣa or the vacana required by yuvām, breaking kartṛ-kriyā anvaya.

Explanation

The past-tense form agacchat is correct: tense selection must follow the kāla marker. hyaḥ means yesterday, fixing anadyatana-bhūta, so the laṅ form agacchat is required. The form gacchati is laṭ (present), gamiṣyati is lṛṭ (future, pointing forward), and gaccha is loṭ (command, 'go!') — each contradicts the past time that the word hyaḥ establishes in the sentence.

Explanation

The yad…tad sentence is correct: a miśra-vākya has a main clause plus a subordinate clause linked by a correlative such as yad…tad, yadā…tadā, or yadi…tarhi. yad bālakaḥ paṭhati tad saḥ uttīrṇaḥ bhavati does exactly this. The paṭhati ca krīḍati ca line and the kintu na krīḍati line join independent clauses (saṃyukta), and the vidyālayaṃ gacchati line has a single verb (saral), so none shows subordinate dependence.
