Answer Key and Marking Scheme
Section A: Vocabulary in Context (Questions 1–12)
Total: 24 marks
1. Answer: C) மைதானத்தில்
Explanation: The sentence describes Malini running quickly. "மைதானத்தில்" means "in the field/ground," which is a place where one would run. "பள்ளி" (school) and "விளையாட்டு" (sport/game) do not fit grammatically after the verb placement pattern. "நண்பருடன்" (with a friend) describes company, not location of running.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
2. Answer: B) படி
Explanation: "படி" means "read" in Tamil. "எழுது" means "write," "ஓடு" means "run," and "விளையாடு" means "play." These are basic action verbs that Primary 2 students must distinguish.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
3. Answer: C) தாய்
Explanation: "தாய் மொழி" means "mother tongue," a common phrase in Singapore education. The complete sentence means "Tamil is my mother tongue." "இனிய" (sweet/pleasant) and "புதிய" (new) do not form this conventional expression.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
4. Answer: B) Happiness
Explanation: "மகிழ்ச்சி" directly translates to "happiness" or "joy." It is an abstract noun built from the root "மகிழ்" (to be happy). Students should recognise this common emotion vocabulary.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
5. Answer: B) மியாவ் என்ற ஒலி (meowing)
Explanation: This tests analogical reasoning with animal sounds. The pattern is animal : its characteristic sound. Dogs bark; cats meow. "கத்துதல்" is associated with monkeys or loud crying, "பாடுதல்" with birds, and "அழுதல்" with human crying.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
6. Answer: A) மாமா
Explanation: "மாமா" means "maternal uncle" (mother's brother). The clue states "என் தாயின் சகோதரர்" (my mother's brother). "அத்தை" is mother's sister, "பெரியப்பா" is father's elder brother, and "சித்தப்பா" is father's younger brother.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
Common mistake: Students often confuse maternal and paternal sides; emphasise "தாய்" vs "தந்தை" in the clue.
7. Answer: B) உணவு சமைத்தல்
Explanation: "சமையலறை" means "kitchen," so the logical activity is "cooking food" (உணவு சமைத்தல்). "துணி துவைத்தல்" (washing clothes) happens at the laundry area, "பாடம் படித்தல்" (studying) in the study room, and "விளையாடுதல்" (playing) outside or in the play area.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
8. Answer: A) மெதுவாக (slowly)
Explanation: "வேகமாக" (quickly/fast) and "மெதுவாக" (slowly) are direct antonyms, both adverbs of manner. "சீக்கிரமாக" refers to time/earliness, "இனிமையாக" to taste/manner sweetness, and "வலுவாக" to strength intensity.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
9. Answer: B) மழை
Explanation: The context clues are dark/cloudy sky ("வானம் மங்கலாக இருக்கிறது"), which predicts rain ("மழை"). "சூரியன்" (sun) appears with clear skies, "பனி" (snow) is rare in Singapore context, and "காற்று" (wind) alone does not follow from dark skies as directly.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
10. Answer: B) Education
Explanation: "கல்வி" is a foundational educational vocabulary word meaning "education" or "learning." It derives from "கல்" (to learn/perceive). "பாடம்" means "lesson," "உணவு" means "food," and "விளையாட்டு" means "game"—none match.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
11. Answer: A) புத்தகப் பை
Explanation: "புத்தகப் பை" (school bag) is what a boy takes to school. Context clue: "பள்ளிக்குச் சென்றான்" (went to school). "பொம்மை" (toy), "பந்து" (ball), and "பழம்" (fruit) are items but not the typical school-going item.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
12. Answer: D) கல் (stone)
Explanation: "மரம்" (tree), "புல்" (grass), and "மலர்" (flower) are all living plants. "கல்" (stone) is non-living and mineral. This tests categorical vocabulary classification.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
Section B: Matching and Word Formation (Questions 13–16)
Total: 12 marks
13. Answer: B) The entrance of a house
Matching: 13 — B
Explanation: "வாசல்" means "entrance" or "doorway," specifically the threshold or front entrance of a house. Students often confuse this with "கடை" (shop); emphasise the domestic context.
Marking: 3 marks for correct match.
14. Answer: A) A place where we buy things
Matching: 14 — A
Explanation: "கடை" means "shop" or "store." In Singapore Tamil context, this commonly refers to a small retail establishment. Students should connect this to daily life vocabulary.
Marking: 3 marks for correct match.
15. Answer: C) Something sweet to eat from trees
Matching: 15 — C
Example clarification: "பழம்" means "fruit." While not all fruits are sweet, this simplified definition suits Primary 2 level. Expandable: apples (ஆப்பிள்), bananas (வாழைப்பழம்), mangoes (மாம்பழம்).
Marking: 3 marks for correct match.
16. Answer: D) A place with many books
Matching: 16 — D
Explanation: "நூலகம்" (library) = "நூல்" (book) + "அகம்" (place). This compound word structure can be taught: a place (-அகம்) for books (நூல்-). Singapore Tamil students visit school and public libraries regularly.
Marking: 3 marks for correct match.
Marking note for Section B: Accept only letter answers. If student writes the meaning instead of the letter, mark as correct if accurate; deduct 1 mark for partially correct but unclear responses.
Section C: Sentence Completion and Short Response (Questions 17–20)
Total: 24 marks
