Language acquisition

• refers to the process of learning a native or a second language because of the innate capacity of the human brain

Question 4:

The students make mistakes while playing a grammar game. The teacher should

• quietly note down the mistakes and discuss them with the class after the activity

• quietly note down the mistakes and hold a remedial class for the 'erring' students

• call aside the student incharge in the group and instruct him/her to guide the student

Question 5:

Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option.

Nammescong Creek flowed into the backs of thighs as I fished, pausing between casts to secure my balance in the current and admire a new hatch of pale yellow mayflies lift from the stream. Over my shoulder, the sun dropped into a farmer's cornfield, the final patch of orange light on the water enough for me to spot the small, vaguely metallic object at my feet. Retrieving it, I ran my thumb over its raised lettering, rubbing away the mud and a string of algae. A name appeared, along with an expiration date. June 1984, I had discovered arrowheads here in the past, so it didn't seem misplaced to find a tool used by modern man to obtain a meal.

2. I took a moment to consider how the card had come to rest in the bed of the Nammy. I thought may there was a story in it. I was curious to know if the owner had lost his wallet while fishing, the whole trip ruined the second he'd inventoried his cash or dug out his license for a game warden. Over time the leather would've rotted into fish food, with a scoured plastic remaining. I wondered how many miles the card might have ridden on spring floods over the past quarter of a century. For all I knew he could've been robbed, the thieves stripping out the money and tossing the billfold away later as they crossed a bridge.

3. Looking him up and phoning, I recited the card number and issuing bank. He laughed, recalling, it as the first credit account he'd ever taken out, a line of imaginary cash in those years when he had no real money. But that finally changed, he explained, after an industrial accident cost him his left eye, the payoff from the plant enabling him to retire eight years earlier than expected and move to a small hobby farm in southern Virginia. He told me a glass eye wasn't his style, so he had taken to wearing an eyepatch, which his wife still hates and his grandchildren- ages three, five and seven- have always loved, as it makes Grandpop look like a pirate. He called them his Miracle Grandbabies, born to a daughter who struggled with alcohol and drug addiction for years- her rock bottom in 1984, a year before she cleaned up for good.

4. But in the end the man couldn't remember ever losing his wallet, either by accident or theft. He said he'd never fished the Nammy, that, in fact, he'd always thought the sport a little boring and so I came to realise there was no story here.

'A small hobby farm' would be

• an open space where rare animals are cared for

• a farm run without any profit

• a small zoo in the backyard

• a commercially successful farm

Question 6:

Teacher draws two intersecting circles on the board and asks Nayana and Rajul to write as follows:

Rajul has to write all the factors of 80 in one circle. Nayana has to write all the factors of 110 in second circle. What is the largest number in the common portion of the circle?

शिक्षक बोर्ड पर दो प्रतिच्छेदी वृत्तों को खींचता है तथा नयना और राजुल से इस प्रकार लिखने के लिए कहता है: राजुल को एक वृत्त में 80 के सभी गुणनखंड लिखने हैं। नयना को दूसरे वृत्त में 110 के सभी गुणनखण्ड लिखने हैं। इन वृत्तों के उभयनिष्ठ भाग में सबसे बड़ी संख्या क्या है?

• 20

• 5

• 2

• 10
