Question 1Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the AP Intermediate Telugu prose lesson 'Gunavanthudu', the author uses the character of the virtuous man primarily to illustrate which quality?

  1. Skill in poetic composition
  2. Moral integrity maintained even in adversity Correct answer.
  3. Wealth accumulated through trade
  4. Physical strength and bravery in battle

Explanation

The lesson centres on character (guna) rather than external achievement. The virtuous figure is tested by hardship and keeps his ethical conduct intact, which is the lesson's stated theme. Strength, commerce and poetics are not the axis of the characterisation.

Question 2Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The Telugu prose lesson 'Vemana' in the Intermediate syllabus presents the poet chiefly as a writer who

  1. translated Sanskrit drama into Telugu
  2. composed courtly epics for royal patrons
  3. attacked social hypocrisy through simple verses Correct answer.
  4. documented grammar in technical sutras

Explanation

Vemana's verses are short, colloquial and aimed at social and religious pretension. The prescribed lesson stresses his plain diction and moral criticism rather than court patronage or grammar. Epics and translation are associated with other poets.

Question 3Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the prose lesson on 'Desa Bhakti', the author argues that true patriotism is best demonstrated by

  1. criticising neighbouring regions
  2. avoiding all contact with foreign ideas
  3. repeating slogans at public meetings
  4. quiet, disciplined service to the community Correct answer.

Explanation

The essay distinguishes verbal patriotism from practical service. The author holds that disciplined work for the welfare of fellow citizens is the real measure of love of country. Slogans and isolationism are presented as hollow substitutes.

Question 4Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

Which statement best captures the central message of the lesson 'Manchi Maata'?

  1. Sweet speech costs nothing but earns lasting goodwill Correct answer.
  2. Only scholars should speak in public
  3. Silence is always safer than speech
  4. Speech should be avoided in times of conflict

Explanation

The lesson contrasts harsh and gentle speech and concludes that kind words, though inexpensive, build durable relationships. It does not advocate silence or restrict speech to scholars. The emphasis falls on the moral value of courteous expression.

Question 5Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the prescribed prose piece on 'Acharya Devo Bhava', the teacher's greatness is located in

  1. selfless transmission of knowledge and values Correct answer.
  2. mastery of examination techniques
  3. the authority to punish students
  4. the salary drawn from the state

Explanation

The title itself equates the teacher with the divine, and the essay explains this through selfless giving of knowledge and character. Authority, salary and exam drills are worldly concerns the essay subordinates. The moral weight rests on unselfish teaching.

Question 6Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The prose lesson 'Buddhi Karyam' illustrates its moral through which kind of narrative?

  1. A historical account of a dynasty
  2. A scientific description of natural phenomena
  3. A folk-style tale resolving a problem through cleverness Correct answer.
  4. A travelogue of a pilgrim

Explanation

The lesson belongs to the folk-tale tradition, where a practical dilemma is solved by intelligence rather than force. Its style is narrative and colloquial, not historical or scientific. The moral emerges from the resolution of the plot.

Question 7Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the essay 'Pustaka Parichayam', the author's attitude towards reading is best described as

  1. reading is useful only for examinations
  2. reading should be limited to textbooks
  3. reading is a discipline that shapes thought and character Correct answer.
  4. reading is a leisure pastime of little consequence

Explanation

The essay treats books as instruments of intellectual and moral formation. It recommends wide, reflective reading rather than narrow exam preparation. The author's tone is serious about the formative power of books.

Question 8Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The prose lesson 'Sthree Vidya' argues for women's education mainly on the ground that

  1. educated women strengthen family and society Correct answer.
  2. it increases household income directly
  3. it is required by foreign employers
  4. it reduces the need for schools

Explanation

The lesson links women's education to the wellbeing of the family and, through it, of society. The argument is social and ethical rather than narrowly economic. Employment abroad and school reduction are not its premises.

Question 9Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the lesson 'Satya Prema', the two ideals named in the title are presented as

  1. religious doctrines limited to one sect
  2. complementary values that together ennoble life Correct answer.
  3. abstract ideas with no practical bearing
  4. opposing forces that cannot coexist

Explanation

The lesson pairs truth and love as mutually reinforcing ideals. Truth without love becomes harsh, and love without truth becomes blind, so the essay urges their union. It does not treat them as opposites or as sectarian doctrine.

Question 10Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The prose lesson 'Mana Samskruti' identifies which feature as central to Telugu cultural continuity?

  1. Rejection of all outside influence
  2. Uniformity of language across regions
  3. Dominance of a single caste group
  4. Assimilation of diverse influences while retaining identity Correct answer.

Explanation

The lesson describes Telugu culture as absorptive, taking in elements from other traditions without losing its own character. Purity-by-rejection and uniformity are not its claims. Caste dominance contradicts the inclusive picture drawn.

Question 11Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the lesson 'Vyavasaya Abhivruddhi', the author recommends which approach to agricultural improvement?

  1. Abandonment of traditional practices entirely
  2. Import of all food grains
  3. Scientific methods combined with farmer education Correct answer.
  4. Expansion of cultivated area alone

Explanation

The essay couples modern technique with practical training for farmers, since methods without understanding fail. Mere area expansion and total import dependence are rejected. Traditional practice is not discarded wholesale but refined.

Question 12Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The prose lesson 'Chaduvu - Jeevitham' compares education to which process?

  1. A single transaction completed at school
  2. A ritual performed once a year
  3. A competition judged by rank
  4. A lifelong journey of continuous learning Correct answer.

Explanation

The lesson frames learning as a continuous process extending beyond formal schooling. Education is not a one-time purchase or an annual ritual. Rank-based competition is not the metaphor the author develops.

Question 13Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the lesson 'Sahitya Seva', the writer describes literary service primarily as

  1. publishing many books for profit
  2. imitating foreign literary models
  3. preserving and enriching the language for future generations Correct answer.
  4. winning prizes at competitions

Explanation

Literary service in the essay means stewardship of the language and its heritage. Profit, prizes and imitation are treated as secondary or undesirable motives. The emphasis falls on continuity and enrichment of the literary tradition.

Question 14Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The prose lesson 'Nenu - Naa Desam' uses the first-person voice chiefly to

  1. describe a foreign tour
  2. narrate a fictional adventure
  3. praise a single political leader
  4. link personal responsibility with national duty Correct answer.

Explanation

The first-person framing makes the essay's argument personal: the individual's duty is inseparable from the nation's welfare. Adventure, travel and leader-worship are not its purposes. The voice invites the reader to adopt the same responsibility.

Question 15Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the lesson 'Vignana Drukpatham', the author argues that scientific outlook is best shown by

  1. trusting authority without scrutiny
  2. memorising scientific facts
  3. questioning claims and testing them against evidence Correct answer.
  4. rejecting all tradition as superstition

Explanation

The essay separates the scientific temper from mere information. Its core is the habit of questioning and verifying claims. Blind trust in authority is its opposite, and blanket rejection of tradition is not its demand.

Question 16Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The prose lesson 'Sramika Jeevitham' draws attention mainly to

  1. the profits of factory owners
  2. the history of trade unions abroad
  3. the dignity and hardships of labour Correct answer.
  4. the technical details of machinery

Explanation

The lesson humanises labour, showing both its dignity and the difficulties workers face. Machinery detail and owners' profits are not its focus. Foreign union history lies outside its scope.

Question 17Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the lesson 'Maatru Bhasha', the author claims that learning in one's mother tongue

  1. is unnecessary for rural students
  2. makes learning natural and effective Correct answer.
  3. slows intellectual growth
  4. should be replaced by English at once

Explanation

The essay argues that the mother tongue is the natural medium of thought and therefore of learning. It does not claim that it slows growth or that it should be immediately displaced. Rural students are not excluded from this argument.

Question 18Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The prose lesson 'Sadacharam' defines good conduct chiefly through

  1. wealth and social rank
  2. consistent ethical behaviour in daily life Correct answer.
  3. eloquence in public speaking
  4. outward observance of ritual

Explanation

The lesson locates sadacharam in everyday ethical practice rather than ritual display. Wealth, rank and eloquence are external markers the essay sets aside. Character is measured by conduct toward others.

Question 19Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the essay 'Parisara Parirakshana', the author links environmental protection most closely with

  1. government legislation alone
  2. international treaties alone
  3. individual responsibility and civic awareness Correct answer.
  4. industrial expansion at any cost

Explanation

The essay argues that laws and treaties work only when citizens adopt responsible habits. It therefore stresses personal and civic duty alongside policy. Unchecked industrial expansion is criticised, and law alone is called insufficient.

Question 20Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The prose lesson 'Sneham' distinguishes true friendship from acquaintance by emphasising

  1. exchange of gifts
  2. frequency of meeting
  3. similarity of social status
  4. selfless support in times of need Correct answer.

Explanation

The lesson tests friendship by conduct during adversity rather than by social contact. Gifts and status similarity are treated as superficial. Selfless help is the mark of genuine sneham.

Question 21Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the lesson 'Kalpana Saktam', the author treats imagination as

  1. a substitute for knowledge
  2. a dangerous distraction from facts
  3. a purely childhood trait
  4. a creative faculty that must be disciplined by reason Correct answer.

Explanation

The essay values imagination but insists it be guided by reason and knowledge. It neither condemns imagination nor treats it as a replacement for learning. The faculty is not confined to childhood in the author's account.

Question 22Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The prose lesson 'Swatantra Sangrama Smrutulu' uses personal reminiscence primarily to

  1. criticise contemporary politics
  2. entertain readers with anecdotes
  3. convey the lived experience of the freedom struggle Correct answer.
  4. document administrative history

Explanation

Reminiscence in the lesson serves to make the freedom struggle vivid and human. Entertainment, administration and present-day politics are not its purposes. Memory is used as historical testimony.

Question 23Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the essay 'Bhasha Parisuddhi', the author's stance on loanwords in Telugu is best summarised as

  1. reject every borrowed word without exception
  2. ignore the question of style altogether
  3. replace Telugu entirely with Sanskrit
  4. accept useful borrowings while preserving Telugu idiom Correct answer.

Explanation

The essay takes a balanced position, welcoming borrowings that enrich expression while guarding natural Telugu idiom. It does not demand total rejection or wholesale replacement. Style is precisely the question it addresses.

Question 24Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The prose lesson 'Nagarika Jeevitham' contrasts city life with village life chiefly to

  1. promote migration to cities
  2. describe urban architecture
  3. prove that cities are always superior
  4. examine the gains and losses of modern living Correct answer.

Explanation

The essay weighs the conveniences of city life against the loss of community and calm. It does not declare cities simply superior or urge migration. Architecture is incidental to the comparison.

Question 25Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the lesson 'Guru Bhakti', the disciple's devotion is validated by

  1. generous gifts to the teacher
  2. recitation of the teacher's name
  3. faithful practice of what the teacher taught Correct answer.
  4. public praise of the teacher

Explanation

The lesson holds that true devotion to a teacher is shown by living the teaching. Public praise, gifts and name-recitation are outward acts the essay treats as secondary. Practice is the proof of bhakti.

Question 26Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the prose lesson 'Vidya Phalam', the author describes the ultimate fruit of learning as which of the following?

  1. Refined character and service to society Correct answer.
  2. Mastery of many languages
  3. Victory in debate and argument
  4. Personal wealth and high status

Explanation

The lesson treats learning as incomplete until it shapes conduct and turns outward into service, so the 'fruit' is ethical and social rather than material. Wealth, linguistic display and argumentative skill are shown as lesser or distorted ends that learning may serve but should not be reduced to.

Question 27Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In 'Pelli Kuthuru', the central conflict of the lesson arises from which tension?

  1. A father's dispute with his employer over wages
  2. Two villages quarrelling over water rights
  3. A teacher's disagreement with the school committee
  4. A daughter's wish for higher studies against a family's haste to arrange her marriage Correct answer.

Explanation

The lesson builds its drama around the pressure to marry a young daughter early while she wants to continue her education. The other situations belong to different themes and are not the source of the family's conflict in this text.

Question 28Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the lesson 'Annadatha', the farmer's dignity is established chiefly through which narrative choice?

  1. By showing the farmer's labour across seasons as the source of everyone's food Correct answer.
  2. By contrasting the farmer with a merchant
  3. By describing a festival in the village
  4. By quoting statistics on national food production

Explanation

The lesson earns its tribute by tracing the farmer's work through ploughing, sowing, transplanting and harvest, so that the reader sees the labour behind every meal. Statistics, contrast with a merchant and festival description may appear but do not carry the argument about dignity.

Question 29Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In 'Desa Bhakti', the author argues that patriotism is best demonstrated by which conduct?

  1. Honest work and civic responsibility in daily life Correct answer.
  2. Attending public meetings regularly
  3. Displaying flags on national days
  4. Memorising the national anthem

Explanation

The essay insists that love of country is proved in ordinary conduct - paying taxes, keeping public spaces clean, doing one's duty well - rather than in ceremony. Public meetings, flags and anthem recitation are treated as symbolic expressions that mean little without that conduct.

Question 30Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The lesson 'Tyagam' presents sacrifice as valuable primarily when it is

  1. Limited to giving away money
  2. Publicised so that others may be inspired
  3. Performed only by people of high status
  4. Offered quietly for a worthy cause without expectation of reward Correct answer.

Explanation

The lesson distinguishes true sacrifice by its motive: it is offered for a worthy end without seeking fame or return. Publicity, social rank and the assumption that sacrifice means only monetary donation are all shown to miss the point.

Question 31Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In 'Arogya Raksha', which principle does the author place at the centre of public health?

  1. Expensive treatment after illness begins
  2. Treatment only in large city hospitals
  3. Reliance on medicines alone
  4. Prevention through cleanliness, diet and exercise Correct answer.

Explanation

The essay's argument is preventive: clean surroundings, moderate food and regular exercise are presented as the real foundation of health. It treats costly after-the-fact treatment, pure medication and centralised city hospitals as incomplete answers to the problem.

Question 32Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The lesson 'Vruddha Ashramalu' uses the condition of elderly people mainly to raise which question?

  1. Why villages are healthier than cities
  2. Whether old age homes should be abolished immediately
  3. How modern families should balance duty to elders with changed living conditions Correct answer.
  4. How pensions should be calculated

Explanation

The lesson does not simply condemn or defend institutions; it uses the elderly person's situation to ask how duty to parents can survive migration, small housing and changed family structures. Pension arithmetic, abolition of homes and rural-urban health comparison are not the question it poses.

Question 33Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In 'Mana Pandugalu', the author explains the value of festivals chiefly as

  1. Occasions that renew social bonds and transmit cultural values Correct answer.
  2. A break from agricultural work
  3. Opportunities for trade and profit
  4. Religious obligations that must be followed literally

Explanation

The essay reads festivals as social and cultural instruments: they bring neighbours together, mark seasons and pass on customs to the young. Rest from labour, commercial gain and literal ritual obligation are mentioned but not treated as their chief value.

Question 34Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The lesson 'Bala Karmika' directs the reader's attention to which problem?

  1. The shortage of playgrounds in towns
  2. The high cost of school uniforms
  3. Children's excessive use of entertainment media
  4. Children working instead of attending school Correct answer.

Explanation

The lesson documents children employed in workshops, hotels and homes, and argues that this deprives them of schooling and childhood. Media use, playground shortage and uniform costs are unrelated to the problem it identifies.

Question 35Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In 'Pravasam', the narrator's experience of living away from home is used to explore which idea?

  1. That migration always improves a family's fortunes
  2. That cities have no culture of their own
  3. That language is irrelevant to identity
  4. That attachment to one's native place persists even amid material comfort Correct answer.

Explanation

The lesson sets material comfort abroad against an enduring pull toward one's own place, language and people. It does not claim migration always brings prosperity, does not dismiss language, and does not deny that cities have cultures.

Question 36Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The lesson 'Sahitya Nirmana' describes the writer's raw material as which of the following?

  1. Grammar textbooks and dictionaries
  2. The number of pages a publisher will accept
  3. The approval of critics
  4. The writer's observed and felt experience of life Correct answer.

Explanation

The lesson argues that literature grows out of lived and observed experience shaped by imagination, with craft serving that material. Reference books, critical approval and market length are aids or constraints, not the substance from which writing is made.

Question 37Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In 'Nijayiti', the lesson's central figure earns respect mainly because of

  1. Consistent honesty maintained at personal cost Correct answer.
  2. Wealth accumulated through trade
  3. Skill in litigation
  4. Family connections in the village

Explanation

The lesson tests its protagonist's honesty by putting it under pressure, and the respect he wins follows from holding to truth when it costs him. Wealth, legal cleverness and family influence are shown as things that command fear or envy, not respect.

Question 38Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

Which statement best captures the method of argument used in the essay 'Vidyarthi Jeevitham'?

  1. It lists government schemes for students in sequence
  2. It narrates the author's own school days without comment
  3. It sets the duties of a student beside the freedoms the student enjoys, showing each as a counterpart of the other Correct answer.
  4. It compares Indian schools with foreign schools statistically

Explanation

The essay proceeds by pairing rights with responsibilities - freedom with discipline, learning with service - so that each freedom is shown to carry an obligation. It does not rely on scheme lists, uncommented autobiography or statistical comparison of school systems.

Question 39Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

In the lesson 'Bhoomi Putrulu', the phrase describing the farmers is best understood as

  1. A criticism of farmers who leave the village
  2. A legal term for tenant cultivators
  3. A literal statement that farmers own the land they plough
  4. A metaphorical claim that farmers are bound to the soil by labour and belonging Correct answer.

Explanation

The expression works figuratively: it names the closeness between cultivator and soil created by daily labour and inherited attachment. It is not a statement of ownership, not a rebuke to those who migrate, and not a legal category.

Question 40Prose (Prescribed Lessons)

The lesson 'Samajika Nyayam' argues that social justice is achieved chiefly through

  1. Charity distributed by the wealthy
  2. Reserving benefits for city dwellers
  3. Strict punishment of offenders alone
  4. Equal access to education and opportunity for all sections Correct answer.

Explanation

The lesson locates justice in structural fairness - schooling, opportunity and dignity open to every section of society - rather than in gifts from the fortunate. Charity, punishment and urban preference are presented as insufficient or unjust responses.

Explanation

  3. శ్రీనాథుడు Correct answer.
