Answers
Primary 2 English Quiz - Vocabulary (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 40
Section A: Synonyms and Antonyms (Questions 1–5) [10 marks]
1. Answer: C) joyful
Explanation: "Joyful" means the same as "happy" — both describe feeling pleasure or delight. "Sad" and "angry" are opposites (antonyms). "Tired" describes needing rest, not an emotion. Marks: 2
2. Answer: B) large
Explanation: "Large" is a synonym for "big" — both mean of considerable size. "Tiny," "small," and "little" are all antonyms (opposites). Marks: 2
3. Answer: B) quick
Explanation: "Quick" means the same as "fast" — moving at high speed. "Slow" and "lazy" are opposites. "Late" refers to time, not speed. Marks: 2
4. Answer: B) warm
Explanation: "Warm" is similar in meaning to "hot" (both describe high temperature, though "hot" is stronger). "Cold," "cool," and "freezing" are antonyms or describe low temperatures. Marks: 2
5. Answer: C) smooth
Explanation: "Smooth" is closest in meaning to "soft" in this context — both describe a pleasant, even texture. "Hard," "rough," and "sharp" are opposites or different textures. Marks: 2
Section B: Context Clues (Questions 6–10) [10 marks]
6. Answer: B) very big
Explanation: The context "won first prize at the fair" suggests the pumpkin was impressive in size. "Enormous" means extremely large. The other options do not fit the context of winning a prize for size. Marks: 2
7. Answer: B) spoke very softly
Explanation: The clue "so she would not wake the baby" tells us the mother spoke quietly. "Whispered" means to speak very softly. "Shouted loudly" is the opposite. Marks: 2
8. Answer: C) not afraid
Explanation: Rescuing a cat from a tree requires courage. "Brave" means showing courage, or "not afraid." "Scared" is the antonym. "Strong" and "fast" are different qualities. Marks: 2
9. Answer: B) needing a drink
Explanation: The context "drank a glass of water" directly shows the meaning. "Thirsty" means feeling a need to drink. "Hungry" is for food, "tired" and "sleepy" are for rest. Marks: 2
10. Answer: B) bright and sparkling
Explanation: The context "glittered in the sunlight" describes something reflecting light. "Shiny" means bright and sparkling. "Dull" is the opposite. "Dirty" and "old" do not describe how light reflects. Marks: 2
Section C: Word Families and Compound Words (Questions 11–15) [10 marks]
11. Answer: B) coat
Explanation: A compound word joins two words to make a new word. "Rain" + "coat" = "raincoat" (a coat worn in the rain). "Rainbow," "raindrop," and "rainfall" are different compound words. Marks: 2
12. Answer: C) light
Explanation: "Sun" + "light" = "sunlight" (light from the sun). "Sunflower," "sunglass" (usually "sunglasses"), and "sunshine" are different words. Marks: 2
13. Answer: B) brush
Explanation: "Tooth" + "brush" = "toothbrush" (a brush for cleaning teeth). "Toothpaste" is the paste used with the brush, not the brush itself. Marks: 2
14. Answer: B) room
Explanation: "Class" + "room" = "classroom" (a room where classes are held). "Classmate," "classwork," and "classbook" are different compound words. Marks: 2
15. Answer: A) ground
Explanation: "Play" + "ground" = "playground" (an outdoor area for children to play). "Playball," "playtime," and "playmate" are different words. Marks: 2
Section D: Vocabulary in Context (Questions 16–20) [10 marks]
16. Answer: C) cried
Explanation: Babies communicate hunger by crying. "Laughed," "slept," and "ate" do not fit the context of a hungry baby signalling for food. Marks: 2
17. Answer: B) fly
Explanation: Birds move through the air by flying. "Swim" is for water, "run" and "jump" are for ground movement. Marks: 2
18. Answer: C) toothbrush
Explanation: A toothbrush is the specific tool for brushing teeth. A comb is for hair, a spoon is for eating, a towel is for drying. Marks: 2
19. Answer: B) night
Explanation: "Night" is the direct opposite (antonym) of "day." Morning, afternoon, and evening are all parts of the day. Marks: 2
20. Answer: C) baked
Explanation: "Baked" means to cook in an oven, which is how cakes are made. "Bought" means purchased, "ate" and "cut" happen after the cake is made. Marks: 2
