Question 1Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

In a formal Nepali conversation, which greeting is most appropriate when meeting an older person for the first time?

  1. के छ खबर?
  2. कहाँ जान लागेको?
  3. नमस्कार, तपाईंलाई भेटेर खुसी लाग्यो। Correct answer.
  4. ओइ, कता?

Explanation

Formal Nepali uses नमस्कार with the honorific तपाईं when addressing an older or unfamiliar person. The phrase तपाईंलाई भेटेर खुसी लाग्यो expresses pleasure at meeting someone respectfully. Casual greetings with तँ or slang belong to informal peer talk.

Question 2Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

A friend says आज मलाई साह्रै थकाइ लाग्यो। Which reply best maintains the conversation by showing empathy and inviting more detail?

  1. ठीक छ।
  2. थकाइ त सबैलाई लाग्छ।
  3. अनि किन यति थकाइ लाग्यो? के भयो आज? Correct answer.
  4. मलाई के गर्नु?

Explanation

Maintaining interaction involves acknowledging the speaker's state and asking a follow-up question. The reply recognises the tiredness and invites explanation with किन and के भयो. Short dismissive responses close the exchange rather than sustain it.

Question 3Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Which expression is the standard polite way to ask someone to repeat what they said?

  1. फेरि भन न।
  2. फेरि एकपटक भन्नुहुन्छ? Correct answer.
  3. बुझिनँ, फेरि भन।
  4. के भन्यो?

Explanation

Polite requests in Nepali use the respectful verb form भन्नुहुन्छ with तपाईं-level honorifics. Adding फेरि एकपटक softens the request and signals you missed the words. The other options use intimate imperative forms suited only to close peers or juniors.

Question 4Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

You want to politely interrupt a teacher who is speaking at length. Which opener is most appropriate?

  1. माफ गर्नुहोस्, एउटा कुरा भन्न सक्छु? Correct answer.
  2. सुन्नुस् त!
  3. एकछिन चुप लाग्नुस्।
  4. तपाईंको कुरा पछि, म पहिले भन्छु।

Explanation

Polite interruption begins with an apology such as माफ गर्नुहोस् and a permission-seeking question. The honorific verb सक्छु with the respectful frame keeps the teacher's status intact. Direct commands or claims of priority offend the listener.

Question 5Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Which question best asks a new acquaintance about their occupation in a polite register?

  1. तँ के काम गर्छस्?
  2. तपाईं के काम गर्नुहुन्छ? Correct answer.
  3. के काम गर्ने?
  4. तिमी के काम गर्छौ?

Explanation

Questions to a new acquaintance require the honorific pronoun तपाईं and the matching verb form गर्नुहुन्छ. This keeps the register formal and respectful. The other forms use intimate or mid-level pronouns that presume closeness.

Question 6Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

A speaker says मेरो नाम सीता हो। म काठमाडौंमा बस्छु। Which follow-up question best sustains the introduction?

  1. काठमाडौंमा कहाँ बस्नुहुन्छ? Correct answer.
  2. तिमी कहाँ बस्छौ?
  3. हो र?
  4. काठमाडौं राम्रो छ?

Explanation

A good follow-up picks up a detail the speaker offered and asks about it politely. Using बस्नुहुन्छ with तपाईं-level honorifics keeps the respectful tone of a first meeting. Vague reactions like हो र do not move the conversation forward.

Question 7Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Which phrase correctly signals that you are listening actively during a Nepali conversation?

  1. के भन्यौ?
  2. म जान्छु है।
  3. हो, हो, बुझें। Correct answer.
  4. पर्ख।

Explanation

Active listening in Nepali uses short back-channels such as हो, हो and बुझें to show comprehension. These keep the speaker talking without taking over the floor. The other options either ask for repetition abruptly or announce departure.

Question 8Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Which sentence best makes a polite request to a stranger for directions?

  1. माफ गर्नुहोस्, बाटो देखाउनुहुन्छ? Correct answer.
  2. बाटो भन न।
  3. बाटो देखाऊ।
  4. कता जाने?

Explanation

Requests to strangers open with an apology and use the honorific verb देखाउनुहुन्छ. This combination marks respect and softens the imposition. Plain imperatives and intimate forms sound demanding.

Question 9Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

A colleague says भोलि मेरो परीक्षा छ। Which response best combines encouragement with an appropriate follow-up?

  1. परीक्षा त गाह्रो हुन्छ।
  2. मलाई परीक्षाको कुरा मन पर्दैन।
  3. राम्रोसँग तयारी भयो? शुभकामना! Correct answer.
  4. अनि?

Explanation

Sustaining interaction means responding to the news and then inviting the speaker to say more. Asking about preparation shows interest, and शुभकामना offers good wishes. Negative comments or a bare अनि would discourage further talk.

Question 10Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Which pair of forms correctly matches pronoun and verb in polite conversation?

  1. तिमी ... गर्नुहुन्छ
  2. तँ ... गर्नुहुन्छ
  3. तपाईं ... गर्नुहुन्छ Correct answer.
  4. तपाईं ... गर्छौ

Explanation

Nepali verb agreement tracks the honorific level of the subject. तपाईं takes the honorific गर्नुहुन्छ, while तिमी takes गर्छौ and तँ takes गर्छस्. Mixing a high pronoun with a lower verb form breaks the register.

Question 11Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

You need to end a phone conversation politely but the other person keeps talking. Which closing is most appropriate?

  1. अब कुरा सकियो।
  2. ल, राख्छु।
  3. मलाई फुर्सद छैन।
  4. ल, म अब अलि काममा लाग्नुपर्छ, पछि कुरा गरौंला। Correct answer.

Explanation

A polite closing explains why you must go and proposes talking again later. The softener ल and the inclusive गरौंला keep the relationship warm. Abrupt hangs-ups or blunt refusals leave the other person feeling dismissed.

Question 12Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

A friend shares good news: मैले नयाँ जागिर पाएँ! Which reply best matches the emotional register?

  1. बधाई छ! कहिलेबाट सुरु गर्नुहुन्छ? Correct answer.
  2. जागिर पाएर के हुन्छ?
  3. अनि तलब कति?
  4. हो र, ठीक छ।

Explanation

Good news calls for congratulation plus a follow-up that shows genuine interest. बधाई छ marks the celebratory register, and the honorific question invites the friend to share details. Asking about salary immediately or belittling the news spoils the moment.

Question 13Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Which opener best introduces a differing opinion politely in a group discussion?

  1. मलाई लाग्छ यसमा अलि फरक दृष्टिकोण पनि हुन सक्छ। Correct answer.
  2. यो कुरा बेकार छ।
  3. मेरो कुरा सुन।
  4. तिमीहरू गलत छौ।

Explanation

Disagreeing politely uses hedged language such as मलाई लाग्छ and हुन सक्छ to soften the claim. Framing the point as another perspective invites discussion instead of confrontation. Direct accusations or dismissals escalate conflict.

Question 14Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

In a job-interview role-play, which self-introduction sentence is most appropriate?

  1. नाम रमेश, ठीकै छ।
  2. मेरो नाम रमेश हो, र मैले व्यवस्थापनमा स्नातक गरेको छु। Correct answer.
  3. म त रमेश, के गर्ने?
  4. म रमेश हुँ, तँलाई के चाहियो?

Explanation

An interview requires a complete, respectful self-introduction with relevant background. Naming your qualification with the perfect form गरेको छु presents information professionally. Filler phrases and intimate pronouns undermine the formal setting.

Question 15Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

A speaker uses the phrase हुन्छ कि भनेर सोध्न आएको। What communicative function does this phrase perform?

  1. It states a firm command.
  2. It softens a request by framing it as a tentative enquiry. Correct answer.
  3. It marks a comparison between two things.
  4. It expresses past completed action.

Explanation

The frame हुन्छ कि भनेर सोध्न आएको literally presents the speaker as having come to ask whether something is possible. This hedging reduces pressure on the listener. It is a politeness strategy rather than a command, tense marker, or comparison.

Question 16Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Which response appropriately accepts an offer made with the polite form तपाईंलाई चिया ल्याऊँ?

  1. हुन्छ, ल्याऊ।
  2. धन्यवाद, एउटा कप दिनुहोस्। Correct answer.
  3. चिया चाहिँदैन, किन ल्याउने?
  4. ल्याऊ त।

Explanation

Accepting an offer politely includes thanks and a respectful request form. धन्यवाद marks gratitude, and दिनुहोस् keeps the honorific level consistent with the host's polite offer. Plain imperatives mirroring the host's verb would sound rude.

Question 17Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

A friend says मैले भोलि सार्वजनिक बिदामा योजना बनाएको छु। Which reply best keeps the planning talk going?

  1. अनि के भयो?
  2. योजना बनाउनु पर्दैन।
  3. कहाँ जाने योजना छ? म पनि सामेल हुन सक्छु? Correct answer.
  4. बिदा त बितिहाल्छ।

Explanation

To maintain a planning conversation, respond to the plan and ask about details while offering to join. The two questions invite the friend to elaborate and open a shared activity. Dismissive comments about holidays or unnecessary planning end the thread.

Question 18Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Which utterance best repairs a misunderstanding after you realise you misheard a name?

  1. तपाईंको नाम के हो? फेरि।
  2. नाम त मैले थाहा पाइहालें।
  3. तपाईंको नाम गलत थियो।
  4. माफ गर्नुहोस्, मैले नाम ठीकसँग सुनिनँ, फेरि भन्नुहुन्छ? Correct answer.

Explanation

Repairing a misunderstanding starts with an apology and an admission of the specific error. Saying you did not hear the name clearly takes responsibility, and the honorific request invites correction. Blaming the speaker or pretending to know blocks repair.

Question 19Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

In a conversation, a speaker says तपाईंको विचारमा मैले भनेको कुरा कति ठीक लाग्यो? What is the speaker mainly doing?

  1. Asking for directions
  2. Ending the conversation politely
  3. Changing the topic to a new subject
  4. Inviting the listener to evaluate what was just said Correct answer.

Explanation

The question asks how correct the listener found the earlier statement, which is an invitation to give an opinion. The phrase तपाईंको विचारमा explicitly frames it as seeking the other person's view. It does not introduce a new topic, close the talk, or ask for directions.

Question 20Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Which reply best declines an invitation politely while preserving the relationship?

  1. आज सक्दिनँ, तर अर्को पटक जरुर आउँछु। Correct answer.
  2. किन आउनु?
  3. आउँदिनँ।
  4. मलाई मन लागेन।

Explanation

A polite refusal states the limitation and offers an alternative to show goodwill. Using सक्दिनँ softens the refusal, and the promise of another time keeps the relationship intact. Blunt refusals or dismissive questions damage rapport.

Question 21Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Two speakers overlap and one says ल, पहिले तपाईं भन्नुहोस्। What does this accomplish?

  1. It asks the other speaker to be quiet.
  2. It insists on speaking first.
  3. It yields the turn politely to the other speaker. Correct answer.
  4. It signals that the topic is finished.

Explanation

The phrase literally offers the first turn to the other person with the honorific भन्नुहोस्. This is a turn-yielding move that resolves overlap without conflict. It does not claim priority, silence the other, or close the topic.

Question 22Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

A speaker says मैले भनेको कुरा तपाईंलाई अस्पष्ट लाग्यो भने फेरि सोध्नुहोला। What is the main purpose of this sentence?

  1. Inviting clarification without loss of face Correct answer.
  2. Announcing that the topic is closed
  3. Correcting the listener's grammar
  4. Warning the listener not to ask questions

Explanation

The speaker explicitly gives permission to ask again if anything was unclear. This pre-empts misunderstanding and protects the listener from embarrassment. It encourages rather than discourages questions and does not close the topic or correct grammar.

Question 23Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

Consider: तपाईं आउनुहुन्छ भन्ने सुनेँ, तर आउनुभएन। Which analysis of the interaction is most accurate?

  1. The speaker is giving a direct command to come.
  2. The speaker reports an unfulfilled expectation using consistent honorific forms. Correct answer.
  3. The speaker uses intimate forms throughout.
  4. The speaker is asking a question about the future.

Explanation

Both verbs carry honorific marking (आउनुहुन्छ, आउनुभएन), matching तपाईं. The contrast between heard expectation and actual absence reports a disappointed expectation. It is a statement, not an intimate address, command, or future question.

Question 24Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

In a formal meeting, a participant says मेरो कुरा छोटकरीमा भनुँ? यसपछि तपाईंहरूको सुझाव लिन्छु। What does this move achieve interactionally?

  1. It signals brevity and hands the floor back to the group. Correct answer.
  2. It repeats the previous speaker's point.
  3. It refuses to let others speak.
  4. It ends the meeting immediately.

Explanation

The speaker announces a short contribution and explicitly plans to take others' suggestions afterwards. This manages the floor and shows respect for group participation. It invites rather than blocks others and does not repeat or terminate the meeting.

Question 25Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

A speaker says तपाईंको कुरा बुझें, तर एउटा कुरा खुलाउन सक्छु? Which description best captures the pragmatic effect?

  1. It rejects the previous point outright.
  2. It acknowledges the previous point before requesting elaboration. Correct answer.
  3. It changes the subject without acknowledgement.
  4. It apologises for a factual error.

Explanation

The first clause confirms understanding of what was said, and the तर clause requests further explanation. This combination maintains rapport while seeking clarity. It does not reject the point, ignore it, or apologise for an error.

Question 26Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

तपाईं कहाँबाट आउनुभयो? भन्ने प्रश्नको स्वाभाविक उत्तर कुन हो?

  1. म पोखराबाट आएको हुँ। Correct answer.
  2. मेरो घर नजिकै छ।
  3. मलाई चिया मन पर्छ।
  4. म बिहान सात बजे उठ्छु।

Explanation

कहाँबाट भन्ने प्रश्नले उत्पत्तिको स्थान सोध्छ, त्यसैले स्थान र आउने क्रिया जोडेर उत्तर दिनुपर्छ। पोखराबाट आएको हुँ भन्ने वाक्यले प्रश्नको ठीक कार्य पूरा गर्छ।

Question 27Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

कसैले धन्यवाद भनेपछि सामान्यतया कुन वाक्यांशले कुराकानीलाई स्वाभाविक बनाउँछ?

  1. फेरि भन्नुहोस्।
  2. स्वागत छ। Correct answer.
  3. केही छैन।
  4. तपाईंलाई पनि।

Explanation

धन्यवादको जवाफमा स्वागत छ भन्ने अभिवादन प्रचलित छ, जसले सहयोगको भावना स्वीकार गर्छ। यसले वार्तालापलाई नरम र सहकारी बनाउँछ।

Question 28Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

नयाँ मानिससँग भेट हुँदा आफ्नो परिचय दिने कुन वाक्य सबैभन्दा उपयुक्त छ?

  1. ऊ आउँदै छ।
  2. मेरो नाम रमेश हो। Correct answer.
  3. मलाई थाहा छैन।
  4. तिमी जाऊ।

Explanation

परिचय दिँदा आफ्नो नाम स्पष्ट रूपमा बताउनुपर्छ, र मेरो नाम रमेश हो भन्ने वाक्यले ठीक त्यही काम गर्छ। यो वाक्य नयाँ मानिससँगको कुराकानी सुरु गर्न पर्याप्त र सभ्य छ।

Question 29Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

कसैले तपाईंलाई बिदामा कतै जाने योजना छ कि भनेर सोध्दा योजना छैन भन्ने सभ्य उत्तर कुन हो?

  1. तपाईंले किन सोध्नुभयो?
  2. अहँ, अहिलेसम्म केही योजना छैन। Correct answer.
  3. योजना बनाउनु बेकार हुन्छ।
  4. मलाई योजना भन्ने शब्द नै मन पर्दैन।

Explanation

प्रश्नको सिधा उत्तर दिँदै नरम स्वरमा योजना छैन भन्नु उपयुक्त हुन्छ। पहिलो विकल्पले जानकारी दिन्छ र सोध्ने व्यक्तिलाई असहज बनाउँदैन।

Question 30Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

कसैले भोलि तपाईंलाई भेट्न समय मिल्छ भनेर सोधे। समय मिल्दैन तर सम्बन्ध राख्न चाहनुहुन्छ भने कुन उत्तर राम्रो हुन्छ?

  1. भोलि मिल्दैन, फेरि कहिल्यै नभन्नुहोला।
  2. भोलि मिल्दैन, तपाईं एक्लै जानुहोस्।
  3. भोलि मिल्दैन, तर पर्सि बिहान भेटौं न। Correct answer.
  4. भोलि मिल्दैन, मलाई भेट्ने इच्छा छैन।

Explanation

अस्वीकार गर्दा कारण वा वैकल्पिक समय दिनु सम्बन्ध जोगाउने तरिका हो। पहिलो विकल्पले भोलि नमिल्ने कुरा भन्दै पर्सिको विकल्प सुझाउँछ, त्यसैले कुराकानी अगाडि बढ्छ।

Question 31Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

वार्तालापमा कसैले भनेको कुरा तपाईंले ठीकसँग नसुनेछ भने स्पष्ट पार्न कुन वाक्य उपयुक्त हुन्छ?

  4. तपाईंले भनेको कुरा मलाई थाहा छ।

Explanation

नसुनेको वा नबुझेको कुरा स्वीकार गरेर फेरि भन्न अनुरोध गर्नु वार्तालाप जोगाउने उपाय हो। पहिलो विकल्पले समस्या स्पष्ट पार्छ र सहयोग माग्छ।

Question 32Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

  2. तपाईंहरूले केही नभन्नुहोस्।
  3. पहिले अरू साथीहरूको विचार सुनौं, त्यसपछि म भन्छु। Correct answer.
  4. मेरो सुझाव सबैभन्दा ठीक छ।

Explanation

आफ्नो विचार पछि राख्ने र अरूको सुन्ने इच्छा देखाउनु सहकारी वार्तालापको लक्षण हो। दोस्रो विकल्पले क्रम स्पष्ट पार्छ र सबैलाई संलग्न गराउँछ।

Question 33Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

कसैले तपाईंको विचारसँग फरक मत राखे। भिन्न मतलाई नरम रूपमा व्यक्त गर्ने कुन वाक्य उपयुक्त छ?

  1. म यसबारे कुरा गर्न चाहन्नँ।
  2. तपाईंले भनेको कुरा सुन्नै पर्दैन।
  3. तपाईंको कुरा गलत छ, मेरो मात्र ठीक हो।
  4. तपाईंको कुरा बुझें, तर मलाई अलि फरक लाग्छ। Correct answer.

Explanation

फरक मत व्यक्त गर्दा पहिले अरूको कुरा बुझेको स्वीकार गर्नु विनम्र हुन्छ। दोस्रो विकल्पले बुझें भनेर सुरु गरी तर जोडेर आफ्नो फरक धारणा नरमसँग राख्छ।

Question 34Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

दुई जना एकैचोटि बोल्दा एक जनाले ल, पहिले तपाईं भन्नुहोस् भने। यसले के गर्छ?

  1. आफ्नो कुरा सबैभन्दा महत्त्वपूर्ण भएको देखाउँछ।
  2. अर्कालाई चुप लाग्न आदेश दिन्छ।
  3. आफ्नो कुरा रद्द गरेर अर्कालाई बोल्ने मौका दिन्छ। Correct answer.
  4. वार्तालाप टुंग्याउने संकेत दिन्छ।

Explanation

एकैचोटि बोल्दा कसले पहिले बोल्ने भन्ने समस्या आउँछ। पहिले तपाईं भन्नुहोस् भन्ने वाक्यांशले आफ्नो पालो छोडेर अर्कालाई बोल्न दिन्छ, जसले कुराकानी सहज बनाउँछ।

Question 35Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

फोनमा कसैले तपाईंलाई अर्को हप्ता घरमा आउन निम्तो दिए, तर तपाईं जान सक्नुहुन्न। सम्बन्ध जोगाउँदै अस्वीकार गर्ने कुन उत्तर राम्रो छ?

  1. मलाई फोन नगर्नुहोला।
  2. तपाईंको निम्तो मन परेन।
  3. म कहिल्यै कसैको घरमा जाँदिनँ।
  4. निम्तोको लागि धन्यवाद, तर त्यो दिन मलाई काम छ। अर्को पटक भन्नुहोला। Correct answer.

Explanation

निम्तोको कदर गर्दै कारण दिनु र भविष्यमा सम्पर्कको ढोका खुला राख्नु विनम्र अस्वीकार हो। पहिलो विकल्पले धन्यवाद, कारण र अर्को पटकको संकेत तीनै समेट्छ।

Question 36Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

कसैले तपाईंले भनेको कुरा बुझिएन भनेर अन्योल देखाए। त्यसपछि तपाईंले के भन्नु सबैभन्दा सहयोगी हुन्छ?

  1. मैले भनेको कुरा सजिलो छ, तपाईंले ध्यान दिनुभएन।
  2. अब कुरा सकियो।
  3. तपाईंले बुझ्नै पर्दैन।
  4. मैले भनेको कुरा बुझ्नुभएन भने अर्को तरिकाले भनुँ? Correct answer.

Explanation

Question 37Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

  4. वार्तालाप सुरु गर्दै छ।

Explanation

कति ठीक लाग्यो भन्ने प्रश्नले स्रोताले आफ्नो भनाइलाई कसरी लियो भन्ने प्रतिक्रिया खोज्छ। यसले वक्ताले आफ्नो विचारको मूल्याङ्कन चाहेको देखाउँछ।

Question 38Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

  2. अरूको सुझाव सुन्नै नचाहने मनसाय
  3. आफ्नो कुरा संक्षेपमा राखेर अरूको सुझावलाई ठाउँ दिने मनसाय Correct answer.
  4. आफ्नो कुरा मात्र अन्तिम मान्ने मनसाय

Explanation

छोटकरीमा भनुँ भन्ने कुराले समयको सम्मान गरेको देखिन्छ, र सुझाव लिन्छु भन्ने कुराले अरूलाई सहभागी गराउने मनसाय देखाउँछ। यी दुवै मिलेर सहकारी र व्यवस्थित बैठक व्यवहार बनाउँछन्।

Question 39Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

वक्ताले तपाईंको कुरा बुझें, तर एउटा कुरा खुलाउन सक्छु? भने। यसको व्यावहारिक प्रभाव के हो?

  4. वार्तालाप बन्द गर्ने संकेत

Explanation

बुझें भन्ने स्वीकृतिले सुन्ने व्यक्तिको कुरालाई मान्यता दिन्छ, र तर एउटा कुरा खुलाउन सक्छु भन्नेले थप जानकारी माग्ने ढोका खोल्छ। यसरी असहमति वा जिज्ञासा नरम रूपमा अगाडि बढाइन्छ।

Question 40Initiating and maintaining interaction (oral)

कसैले तपाईंलाई धेरै लामो योजना सुनाए। तपाईंले मुख्य बुँदा मात्र दोहोर्याएर पुष्टि गर्न चाहनुहुन्छ। कुन वाक्य सबैभन्दा उपयुक्त छ?

  1. मैले बुझें: पहिले टिकट काट्ने, त्यसपछि होटल बुक गर्ने, होइन? Correct answer.
  2. तपाईंले भन्नुभएको सबै कुरा मैले बिर्सें।
  3. मलाई योजनाबारे केही भन्नुहोला।
  4. तपाईंको योजना सुन्नै पर्दैन।

Explanation

Question 41Understanding and responding to texts (listening, reading)

Read this short notice: 'भोलिको कक्षा बिहान १० बजे सुरु हुनेछ र सबै विद्यार्थीले पाठ्यपुस्तक ल्याउनु पर्नेछ।' What are students required to bring?

  1. Their homework
  2. The textbook Correct answer.
  3. An identity card
  4. A notebook

Explanation

The notice states that class will begin at 10 a.m. tomorrow and that all students must bring the textbook (पाठ्यपुस्तक). The verb ल्याउनु पर्नेछ expresses obligation, and its object is clearly पाठ्यपुस्तक, so the required item is the textbook and nothing else.

Question 42Understanding and responding to texts (listening, reading)

Read: 'रमेशले भने, “म भोलि काठमाडौं जान्छु।”' Which statement correctly reports what Ramesh said?

  1. Ramesh said that someone else would go to Kathmandu.
  2. Ramesh said that he would go to Kathmandu the next day. Correct answer.
  3. Ramesh asked whether Kathmandu was far away.
  4. Ramesh said that he went to Kathmandu yesterday.

Explanation

The quoted clause uses the first-person pronoun म with the present-tense verb जान्छु, and भोलि means 'tomorrow'. Reported speech keeps the same meaning while shifting the pronoun to 'he' and the time reference to 'the next day'.

Question 43Understanding and responding to texts (listening, reading)

Read: 'आमाले छोरालाई भात पकाएर खान दिनुभयो।' Who ate the rice?

  1. The son Correct answer.
  2. Both of them together
  3. The mother
  4. A guest

Explanation

The structure 'X-लाई ... खान दिनु' means to give someone something to eat. The recipient marked by -लाई is छोरा (the son), so the son is the one who ate the rice, while the mother is the one who cooked and served it.

Question 44Understanding and responding to texts (listening, reading)

Read the announcement: 'शनिबार पुस्तकालय बन्द रहनेछ, तर अनलाइन सेवा सञ्चालनमा रहनेछ।' What will happen on Saturday?

  1. The library will open and online services will stop.
  2. Both the library and online services will be closed.
  3. Only the library will be open in the morning.
  4. The library will be closed but online services will continue. Correct answer.

Explanation

Question 46Understanding and responding to texts (listening, reading)

Read: 'मेरो घर स्कुलबाट पन्ध्र मिनेट हिँड्ने दूरीमा छ।' How far is the speaker's house from school?

  1. A fifteen-minute bus ride
  2. A fifteen-minute walk Correct answer.
  3. Fifteen minutes by bicycle
  4. Fifteen kilometres away

Explanation

The phrase हिँड्ने दूरी means 'walking distance', and पन्ध्र मिनेट means fifteen minutes. Together they describe the house as being a fifteen-minute walk from school, not a distance in kilometres or a vehicle journey.

Question 47Understanding and responding to texts (listening, reading)

Read: 'सीताले भात खाइसकेपछि किताब पढ्न थालिन्।' What did Sita do first?

  1. She bought a book.
  2. She started studying.
  3. She ate rice. Correct answer.
  4. She read a book.

  1. Expressing surprise
  2. Making a polite request Correct answer.

Read: 'यद्यपि पानी परिरहेको थियो, खेल जारी रह्यो।' What does यद्यपि signal in this sentence?

  1. A concession contrasting with the main clause Correct answer.
  2. A cause explaining the main clause
  3. A condition for the main clause
  4. A sequence of two events

Explanation

यद्यपि means 'although' and introduces a concessive clause that sets up a contrast with the main clause. Here the rain would normally stop a game, yet the main clause says the game continued, which is exactly the contrast यद्यपि marks.

Question 50Understanding and responding to texts (listening, reading)

Read: 'हरिले भने, “मैले त्यो चलचित्र हेरेको छैन।”' Which reported version keeps the meaning?

  1. Hari said that he had seen that film.
  2. Hari said that the film was not made.
  3. Hari said that he would not see that film.
  4. Hari said that he had not seen that film. Correct answer.

Explanation

The quoted clause contains a negative perfect form हेरेको छैन, meaning 'have not seen'. In reported speech the first-person मैले becomes 'he' and the perfect tense is kept as a past perfect, giving 'had not seen'.
