Question 1General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which body of the United Nations has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security?

  1. The Economic and Social Council
  2. The Trusteeship Council
  3. The Security Council Correct answer.
  4. The General Assembly

Explanation

Under the UN Charter the Security Council holds primary responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, and its decisions can be binding on member states. The General Assembly debates and recommends but does not issue binding enforcement decisions. The Trusteeship Council suspended operations in 1994 after Palau's independence.

Question 2General Knowledge and Current Affairs

The principle that a state may not use force in its international relations except in self-defence or with Security Council authorisation is most directly associated with which instrument?

  1. The Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations
  2. The Geneva Conventions
  3. The UN Charter Correct answer.
  4. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Explanation

Article 2(4) of the UN Charter prohibits the threat or use of force, with recognised exceptions including individual and collective self-defence under Article 51 and action authorised by the Security Council. The other instruments address human rights, diplomatic immunity and the laws of armed conflict respectively.

Question 3General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A country's central bank raises its policy interest rate sharply while its government continues large deficit spending. Which combination best describes the likely short-run effect?

  1. Higher borrowing costs with continued fiscal demand pressure Correct answer.
  2. Lower inflation expectations with no change in debt servicing
  3. Lower borrowing costs and reduced fiscal demand
  4. Falling debt interest payments alongside rising consumption

Explanation

Tighter monetary policy raises the cost of credit across the economy, while sustained deficit spending keeps aggregate demand and government borrowing elevated. The two pull in different directions, so borrowing costs rise even as fiscal demand persists.

Question 4General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which document is the founding treaty of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization?

  1. The Treaty of Rome
  2. The North Atlantic Treaty Correct answer.
  3. The Brussels Treaty
  4. The Helsinki Final Act

Explanation

The North Atlantic Treaty, signed in Washington in April 1949, established NATO and contains the collective defence commitment in Article 5. The Brussels Treaty of 1948 was a separate Western European defence pact that preceded and fed into NATO.

Question 5General Knowledge and Current Affairs

In climate policy, the principle that states should act to prevent serious environmental harm even when scientific evidence is not fully conclusive is known as which principle?

  1. The precautionary principle Correct answer.
  2. The principle of common but differentiated responsibilities
  3. The principle of sustainable development
  4. The polluter pays principle

Explanation

The precautionary principle, reflected in the 1992 Rio Declaration, justifies protective action where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage despite scientific uncertainty. The polluter pays principle instead allocates cleanup costs to those who cause pollution.

Question 6General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A candidate reads that a country's GDP grew by 3 percent in nominal terms while its population grew by 2 percent and prices rose by 2 percent. Which conclusion is best supported?

  1. Real GDP fell by 2 percent in total
  2. Real GDP per capita fell slightly Correct answer.
  3. Real GDP per capita rose sharply
  4. Nominal GDP per capita rose by 3 percent

Explanation

Subtracting 2 percent inflation leaves roughly 1 percent real growth, and subtracting 2 percent population growth leaves real GDP per capita slightly negative. Nominal growth of 3 percent does not translate into per capita gains once both inflation and population are considered.

Question 7General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which institution issues the World Economic Outlook, a widely cited report on global growth and inflation projections?

  1. The Bank for International Settlements
  2. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
  3. The International Monetary Fund Correct answer.
  4. The World Bank

Explanation

The International Monetary Fund publishes the World Economic Outlook, typically twice a year, setting out global and regional growth and inflation forecasts. The World Bank publishes separate flagship reports such as the Global Economic Prospects.

Question 8General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following best describes the role of the World Trade Organization's dispute settlement system?

  1. It sets monetary policy for member economies
  2. It adjudicates trade disputes between members through panels and an Appellate Body Correct answer.
  3. It negotiates bilateral investment treaties on behalf of members
  4. It imposes sanctions directly on non-compliant members

Explanation

WTO dispute settlement operates through consultations, panels and the Appellate Body, producing rulings that members are expected to implement. Authorisation for retaliation is granted by the Dispute Settlement Body rather than imposed automatically by the system itself.

Question 9General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A diplomat stationed abroad is accused of a serious criminal offence in the receiving state. Under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which statement is accurate?

  1. The diplomat has immunity only for acts performed in an official capacity
  2. The diplomat's immunity ceases automatically after one year of residence
  3. The diplomat may be tried in the receiving state's courts with the sending state's consent
  4. The diplomat enjoys immunity from the receiving state's criminal jurisdiction and may be declared persona non grata Correct answer.

Explanation

Diplomatic agents enjoy full immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of the receiving state, and the receiving state's remedy is to declare the person persona non grata or request recall. Immunity is procedural and does not mean the diplomat can never face justice, since the sending state may waive it or prosecute domestically.

Question 10General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following is a specialised agency of the United Nations responsible for health?

  1. The International Labour Organization
  2. The World Health Organization Correct answer.
  3. The United Nations Development Programme
  4. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

Explanation

The World Health Organization is a UN specialised agency with a constitutional mandate for international public health. The ILO is a specialised agency for labour standards, while UNDP and OCHA are UN programmes and offices rather than specialised agencies.

Question 11General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following best captures the meaning of 'soft law' in international affairs?

  1. Treaties that enter into force only after ratification by all parties
  2. Customary rules that bind all states without exception
  3. Non-binding instruments such as declarations and guidelines that may shape state behaviour Correct answer.
  4. Domestic legislation with extraterritorial application

Explanation

Soft law refers to instruments that are not legally binding, such as UN General Assembly declarations, codes of conduct and guidelines, but which can influence norms and later harden into treaties or custom. Binding treaty and customary rules are forms of hard law.

Question 12General Knowledge and Current Affairs

An economy experiences a sharp rise in imports and a fall in exports while its currency is freely floating. Which adjustment is most consistent with standard trade theory?

  1. The currency tends to appreciate, widening the deficit
  2. Interest rates must rise to eliminate the deficit automatically
  3. The currency tends to depreciate, improving export competitiveness Correct answer.
  4. The trade balance is unaffected because currencies do not adjust

Explanation

A falling trade balance tends to reduce demand for the domestic currency, pushing it downward. A weaker currency makes exports cheaper and imports dearer, which over time can narrow the deficit, subject to lags and elasticity conditions.

Question 13General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following statements about the United Nations Security Council veto is correct?

  1. The veto applies to procedural votes as well as substantive ones
  2. Any permanent member may block a substantive draft resolution with a negative vote Correct answer.
  3. A veto can be overridden by a two-thirds vote of the General Assembly
  4. Only the Secretary-General may exercise the veto

Explanation

Under Article 27 of the UN Charter, substantive decisions require the concurring votes of all five permanent members, so a single negative vote by any of them defeats a draft. The veto does not apply to procedural matters, and the General Assembly cannot override it.

Question 14General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which body of the European Union is directly elected by EU citizens and shares legislative power with the Council of the EU?

  1. The European Council
  2. The European Parliament Correct answer.
  3. The European Commission
  4. The Court of Justice of the European Union

Explanation

The European Parliament is the only directly elected EU institution and, under the ordinary legislative procedure, legislates jointly with the Council of the EU. The Commission proposes legislation, the European Council sets political direction, and the Court interprets EU law.

Question 15General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A humanitarian agency wants to base its emergency response on the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence. Which statement best reflects the practical meaning of neutrality in this context?

  1. Aid must be funded exclusively by neutral states
  2. Aid workers must avoid speaking to any government officials
  3. Aid must not take sides in hostilities or engage in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature Correct answer.
  4. Aid must be distributed equally among all belligerent parties regardless of need

Explanation

Neutrality means humanitarian actors do not take part in hostilities or in political controversies, which helps preserve access and acceptance. Impartiality is the separate principle that assistance should be based on need alone, without discrimination.

Question 16General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which agreement established the World Trade Organization in 1995?

  1. The Marrakesh Agreement Correct answer.
  2. The Bretton Woods Agreement
  3. The Kyoto Protocol
  4. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade

Explanation

The Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization, concluded in 1994, brought the WTO into being on 1 January 1995. GATT 1947 was the earlier provisional arrangement that the WTO succeeded.

Question 17General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A state wishes to protest another state's treatment of its nationals without severing relations. Which practice is most consistent with established diplomatic practice?

  1. Referring the matter to its own domestic courts as a criminal matter
  2. Closing its own embassy without notice
  3. Expelling all citizens of the other state immediately
  4. Summoning the other state's ambassador to deliver a formal protest Correct answer.

Explanation

Summoning an ambassador or delivering a note verbale is a standard, calibrated way to register a formal protest while keeping channels open. Breaking relations, mass expulsions or unilateral criminal prosecution are escalatory and generally inconsistent with normal diplomatic practice.

Question 18General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following best defines 'human security' as used in international policy debates?

  1. Security of international financial markets
  2. Security of diplomatic missions abroad
  3. Security of state borders against military invasion
  4. Protection of individuals from chronic threats such as hunger, disease and repression Correct answer.

Explanation

Human security shifts the focus from the state to individuals, covering freedom from fear and freedom from want, including hunger, disease, repression and sudden disruption. It was articulated prominently in the 1994 UNDP Human Development Report.

Question 19General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which organisation publishes the annual Human Development Report and its Human Development Index?

  1. The International Labour Organization
  2. The United Nations Development Programme Correct answer.
  3. The World Health Organization
  4. The World Bank

Explanation

The Human Development Report and the Human Development Index are produced under the auspices of the United Nations Development Programme. The index combines life expectancy, education and income indicators into a single summary measure.

Question 20General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A draft Security Council resolution on sanctions receives nine affirmative votes, one negative vote from a permanent member and five abstentions. What is the outcome?

  1. The resolution is not adopted because of the negative vote Correct answer.
  2. The resolution is adopted because nine votes were cast in favour
  3. The resolution is adopted because abstentions count as affirmative votes
  4. The resolution is returned to the General Assembly for a decision

Explanation

Although nine affirmative votes meet the numerical threshold, a negative vote by any permanent member defeats a substantive draft. Abstentions by permanent members do not count as vetoes in practice, but an explicit negative vote does.

Question 21General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following is the main function of the Financial Action Task Force?

  1. Regulating global securities markets directly
  2. Lending to countries facing balance of payments crises
  3. Providing deposit insurance to member banks
  4. Setting standards to combat money laundering and terrorist financing Correct answer.

Explanation

The FATF is an intergovernmental body that sets recommendations and assesses jurisdictions against standards on money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing. It does not lend, supervise securities markets or insure deposits.

Question 22General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which statement best explains why international organisations often rely on 'naming and shaming' rather than formal enforcement?

  1. They frequently lack direct enforcement powers and depend on reputational pressure Correct answer.
  2. They have no access to information about state conduct
  3. They are prohibited by their charters from adopting binding rules
  4. They can only act when unanimous consent is obtained from all members

Explanation

Many international bodies can adopt standards and publish assessments but cannot compel compliance, so reputational costs and peer pressure become key levers. This is characteristic of bodies such as human rights treaty bodies and the FATF.

Question 23General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following best describes the concept of 'collective security'?

  1. An alliance aimed at containing a specific named adversary
  2. A bilateral defence pact between two neighbouring states
  3. A system in which states agree that aggression against one member is met by a response from all Correct answer.
  4. A trade arrangement granting preferential market access

Explanation

Collective security rests on the idea that aggression against any member concerns all members, who commit to a collective response, as envisaged in the UN Charter. It differs from an alliance, which is typically directed at a specific external threat.

Question 24General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A government publishes a new law restricting foreign ownership in a strategic sector. Which combination of policy concerns does this measure most directly raise?

  1. Monetary policy and exchange rate management
  2. National security and investment liberalisation commitments Correct answer.
  3. Diplomatic immunity and consular protection
  4. Humanitarian access and refugee protection

Explanation

Foreign ownership restrictions in strategic sectors sit at the intersection of national security review and commitments under trade and investment agreements that may require non-discriminatory treatment. The measure does not directly concern monetary, humanitarian or diplomatic law.

Question 25General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following describes the primary purpose of the Non-Proliferation Treaty?

  1. To establish a global carbon trading system
  2. To prohibit the testing of conventional weapons
  3. To prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and promote disarmament and peaceful uses of nuclear energy Correct answer.
  4. To ban all military alliances among nuclear-armed states

Explanation

The NPT rests on three pillars: non-proliferation, disarmament and the peaceful use of nuclear energy. It does not address conventional weapons testing or military alliances, and it is unrelated to carbon markets.

Question 26General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which body of the United Nations has primary responsibility under the Charter for the maintenance of international peace and security?

  1. The General Assembly
  2. The Security Council Correct answer.
  3. The Economic and Social Council
  4. The International Court of Justice

Explanation

Article 24 of the UN Charter confers on the Security Council primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, and its decisions under Chapter VII are binding on all member states. The other principal organs have defined but different mandates.

Question 27General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A state wants to signal disapproval of another state's human rights record while keeping diplomatic channels open. Which instrument is designed for exactly this kind of public, non-coercive pressure?

  1. Suspension of the bilateral investment treaty
  2. A declaration of persona non grata against the ambassador
  3. A universal periodic review recommendation within the Human Rights Council Correct answer.
  4. A Chapter VII sanctions resolution

Explanation

The universal periodic review is a peer-review mechanism in which states make recommendations to one another on human rights compliance; it is public and reputational rather than coercive. It leaves diplomatic relations intact, unlike expulsion of envoys or treaty termination.

Question 28General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following best describes the 'responsibility to protect' (R2P) as endorsed by the 2005 World Summit?

  1. A treaty obligation requiring regional organisations to host refugees from neighbouring conflicts
  2. A doctrine permitting any state to intervene unilaterally without Security Council authorisation
  3. A principle that sovereignty entails a state's responsibility to protect its population, with a residual role for the international community Correct answer.
  4. A legal duty of the Security Council to authorise military intervention whenever civilians are at risk

Explanation

R2P rests on three pillars: the state's primary responsibility to protect its own population, international assistance to help states meet that responsibility, and timely collective action through the Security Council when a state manifestly fails. It is a political commitment rather than an automatic trigger for intervention.

Question 29General Knowledge and Current Affairs

An analyst notes that a country's central bank raised interest rates sharply while inflation remained high and growth slowed. Which interpretation is most consistent with standard macroeconomic reasoning?

  1. The bank was targeting the exchange rate rather than inflation
  2. The bank accepted short-term output costs to anchor inflation expectations Correct answer.
  3. The bank had abandoned any inflation target
  4. The bank intended to stimulate domestic demand

Explanation

Tightening monetary policy works by raising borrowing costs to cool demand and anchor inflation expectations, which typically involves a temporary growth cost. This is the standard disinflation trade-off.

Question 30General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which institution is the primary global source of assessments of climate science, synthesising published research for policymakers?

  1. The United Nations Environment Programme
  2. The International Energy Agency
  3. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Correct answer.
  4. The World Meteorological Organization

Explanation

The IPCC was established by WMO and UNEP to assess the scientific literature on climate change and produce periodic assessment reports. It does not conduct original research itself but synthesises peer-reviewed findings.

Question 31General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A treaty text states that a state may opt out of a provision by lodging a formal statement at ratification. Which term describes this practice?

  1. A derogation
  2. A protocol
  3. A reservation Correct answer.
  4. An accession

Explanation

A reservation is a unilateral statement made by a state when consenting to be bound, purporting to exclude or modify the legal effect of certain provisions. It is governed by the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.

Question 32General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following most accurately describes the role of the International Monetary Fund's Article IV consultations?

  1. They provide binding lending conditions for countries in crisis
  2. They adjudicate trade disputes between member states
  3. They set global minimum corporate tax rates
  4. They are regular surveillance reviews of member economies, with reports usually published Correct answer.

Explanation

Article IV consultations are the IMF's regular bilateral surveillance of each member's economy, culminating in staff reports that are typically published with the member's consent. They are advisory and diagnostic, not binding.

Question 33General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A state refuses to extradite a former head of state accused of torture, arguing that immunity persists after leaving office. Under prevailing international law, which statement is most accurate?

  1. Head-of-state immunity continues indefinitely for all acts, including torture
  2. Immunity does not bar prosecution for torture before foreign courts, and the alleged torturer may also face universal jurisdiction Correct answer.
  3. Immunity applies only before the International Criminal Court
  4. Immunity can be waived solely by the United Nations Secretary-General

Explanation

Under the Torture Convention and customary law, immunity ratione personae does not shield officials from prosecution for torture, and states may exercise universal jurisdiction over alleged torturers. The ICJ in the Yerodia case confirmed narrow immunities but the torture exception is widely accepted.

Question 34General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following best describes the primary function of the G20 in global economic governance?

  1. It is an informal forum of major economies that coordinates policy responses and sets shared agendas Correct answer.
  2. It is a formal treaty organisation with binding rule-making authority over members
  3. It is a judicial body that resolves sovereign debt disputes
  4. It is a UN specialised agency responsible for development finance

Explanation

The G20 is an informal grouping that brings together major advanced and emerging economies to coordinate macroeconomic and financial policy. Its communiqués are politically influential but not legally binding.

Question 35General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A developing country seeks concessional financing for a large infrastructure project and wants to avoid the conditionality attached to IMF lending. Which institution is most directly designed for this purpose?

  1. The Financial Stability Board
  2. The Bank for International Settlements
  3. The World Bank's International Development Association Correct answer.
  4. The World Customs Organization

Explanation

IDA provides concessional loans and grants to the poorest countries for development projects. It is distinct from IMF balance-of-payments lending and its macroeconomic conditionality.

Question 36General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following best explains why international courts such as the ICJ often struggle to enforce their judgments?

  1. They lack jurisdiction over any sovereign state
  2. Enforcement ultimately depends on state compliance and Security Council action, where vetoes may block measures Correct answer.
  3. Their judges are appointed by the litigating parties
  4. Their judgments are advisory and never binding

Explanation

ICJ judgments in contentious cases are binding, but the Court has no enforcement machinery of its own; a party may seek Security Council action, where a permanent member's veto can block measures. This makes compliance largely a matter of state consent and reputational cost.

Question 37General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A country's exports become more competitive after a sharp currency depreciation, but its foreign-currency debt burden rises. Which combination best captures this dual effect?

  1. Worsened trade balance and reduced debt-service burden
  2. Worsened trade balance and increased debt-service burden
  3. Improved trade balance and reduced debt-service burden
  4. Improved trade balance and increased debt-service burden Correct answer.

Explanation

Depreciation lowers export prices in foreign currency, improving competitiveness, while making foreign-currency liabilities more expensive to service in domestic terms. The two effects run in opposite directions for the economy.

Question 38General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following best describes the concept of 'strategic autonomy' as used in contemporary European policy debates?

  1. A policy of complete trade isolationism
  2. The capacity to act independently in security and industrial policy while retaining alliances Correct answer.
  3. A mandate for a single European army under UN command
  4. A legal requirement to leave all military alliances

Explanation

Strategic autonomy refers to the ability of a polity, notably the EU, to pursue its own security, defence and industrial priorities without undue dependence on others, while remaining within existing alliances. It is about capacity and resilience rather than withdrawal.

Question 39General Knowledge and Current Affairs

Which of the following best captures the primary purpose of the Paris Agreement's nationally determined contributions?

  1. To impose identical emission targets on all parties
  2. To require each party to communicate and update its own climate action pledges, with collective ambition reviewed over time Correct answer.
  3. To establish a global carbon tax administered by the UN
  4. To replace the UNFCCC with a new treaty body

Explanation

The Paris Agreement uses a bottom-up architecture in which each party submits and periodically updates its nationally determined contribution, with a global stocktake to assess collective progress. It deliberately avoids uniform, centrally imposed targets.

Question 40General Knowledge and Current Affairs

A candidate argues that international organisations are best understood as agents of their member states, while another argues they develop autonomous preferences. Which theoretical debate does this reflect?

  1. Realism versus constructivism on anarchy
  2. Principal-agent theory versus bureaucratic autonomy approaches Correct answer.
  3. Just war theory versus pacifism
  4. Liberalism versus mercantilism on trade

Explanation

Principal-agent theory treats states as principals delegating tasks to international organisations as agents, while bureaucratic autonomy approaches emphasise that organisations can develop independent preferences and influence. The exchange maps onto this specific debate about delegation and autonomy.

Question 41Nepali Language and Grammar

नेपाली वर्णमालामा स्वर वर्ण कतिवटा छन्?

  1. १३
  2. १४
  3. ११
  4. १२ Correct answer.

Explanation

नेपाली वर्णमालामा स्वर वर्ण १२ वटा मानिन्छन् - अ, आ, इ, ई, उ, ऊ, ऋ, ए, ऐ, ओ, औ, अः। यीमध्ये अः लाई केही स्रोतले प्लुत वा अयोगवाह स्वरका रूपमा राख्छन्, तर प्रचलित गणनामा १२ नै स्वीकार गरिन्छ।

Question 42Nepali Language and Grammar

'क' वर्ण कुन वर्गमा पर्छ?

  1. चवर्ग
  2. टवर्ग
  3. कवर्ग Correct answer.
  4. तवर्ग

Explanation

क, ख, ग, घ, ङ मिलेर कवर्ग बन्छ र यी कण्ठ्य व्यञ्जन हुन्। 'क' यही वर्गको पहिलो वर्ण हो।

Question 43Nepali Language and Grammar

तलका शब्दमध्ये कुन शब्दमा ह्रस्व 'इ' को मात्रा प्रयोग भएको छ?

  1. खीर
  2. गीत
  3. दिन Correct answer.
  4. नीति

Question 44Nepali Language and Grammar

नेपालीमा लिङ्गका आधारमा विशेषण प्रयोग गर्दा 'असल केटा' को स्त्रीलिङ्ग रूप कुन हो?

  1. असलु केटी
  2. असला केटी
  3. असली केटी
  4. असल केटी Correct answer.

Explanation

'असल' जस्ता केही विशेषण लिङ्गअनुसार नबदलिने (अविकारी) हुन्छन्, त्यसैले स्त्रीलिङ्गमा पनि 'असल केटी' नै रहन्छ। 'राम्रो केटा' बाट 'राम्री केटी' जस्ता विकारी विशेषणमा मात्र रूप बदलिन्छ।

Question 45Nepali Language and Grammar

वाक्य 'उसले पुस्तक पढ्यो' मा क्रियापदको काल कुन हो?

  1. पूर्ण भूत
  2. भविष्यत्
  3. सामान्य भूत Correct answer.
  4. वर्तमान

Explanation

'पढ्यो' ले सामान्य भूतकाल जनाउँछ - काम सकिएको छ तर अपूर्ण पक्षको जोड छैन। पूर्ण भूतमा 'पढेको थियो' जस्तो रूप आउँथ्यो।

Question 46Nepali Language and Grammar

'रामले भात खायो' वाक्यमा कर्ता कुन हो?

  1. भात
  2. खायो
  3. यीमध्ये कुनै पनि होइन
  4. रामले Correct answer.

Explanation

कर्ता भनेको काम गर्ने व्यक्ति वा वस्तु हो; यहाँ काम 'राम' ले गरेको छ र 'ले' विभक्ति कर्ता चिनाउँछ। 'भात' कर्म हो र 'खायो' क्रिया हो।

Question 47Nepali Language and Grammar

'उनीहरू' सर्वनाम कुन पुरुषको हो?

  1. प्रथम पुरुष
  2. तृतीय पुरुष Correct answer.
  3. यीमध्ये कुनै पनि होइन
  4. द्वितीय पुरुष

Explanation

बोल्ने र सुन्नेबाहेक तेस्रो व्यक्तिका लागि प्रयोग हुने सर्वनाम तृतीय पुरुष हो; 'उनीहरू' त्यही वर्गमा पर्छ। 'म' प्रथम र 'तिमी/तपाईं' द्वितीय पुरुष हुन्।

Question 48Nepali Language and Grammar

नेपालीमा वाक्यको सामान्य क्रम कुन हो?

  1. कर्म + कर्ता + क्रिया
  2. क्रिया + कर्ता + कर्म
  3. कर्म + क्रिया + कर्ता
  4. कर्ता + कर्म + क्रिया Correct answer.

Explanation

नेपाली वाक्यको सामान्य (अचिह्नित) क्रम कर्ता–कर्म–क्रिया हो, जस्तै 'रामले भात खायो'। क्रिया सामान्यतः वाक्यको अन्त्यमा आउँछ।

Question 49Nepali Language and Grammar

'हामी विद्यालय जान्छौं' वाक्यमा क्रियापद कुन पुरुष र वचनसँग मिलेको छ?

  1. प्रथम पुरुष, बहुवचन Correct answer.
  2. तृतीय पुरुष, बहुवचन
  3. द्वितीय पुरुष, बहुवचन
  4. प्रथम पुरुष, एकवचन

Explanation

'हामी' प्रथम पुरुषको बहुवचन सर्वनाम हो, र क्रियापद 'जान्छौं' ले पनि प्रथम पुरुष बहुवचनको चिह्न (ौं) बोकेको छ। कर्ता र क्रियापद पुरुष तथा वचनमा मिल्नुपर्छ।

Question 50Nepali Language and Grammar

'सुन्दर' शब्दको तुलनात्मक रूप जनाउन कुन प्रयोग उपयुक्त हुन्छ?

  1. अत्यन्त सुन्दर
  2. सुन्दर नै सुन्दर
  3. सुन्दरतम
  4. सुन्दरभन्दा सुन्दर Correct answer.

Explanation

नेपालीमा तुलनात्मक भाव 'भन्दा' जोडेर व्यक्त गरिन्छ, जस्तै 'सुन्दरभन्दा सुन्दर'। 'अत्यन्त' र 'सुन्दरतम' ले उत्तमता (अतिशय) जनाउँछन्, तुलना होइन।
