Section A – Picture and Word Match (Questions 1–5)

Marking note: Award 1 mark for each correct Tamil word. Accept common variant spellings if the meaning is clear.

1. நாய் (dog)
   Common mistake: Writing "நாய" without the final ் is acceptable at P2 level.

2. நிலா / சந்திரன் (moon)
   Marking note: Either word is acceptable. நிலா is more common in P2.

3. யானை (elephant)
   Common mistake: Some students may write "ஆனை" – accept if the meaning is clear.

4. பூ (flower)
   Note: This is a basic P2 vocabulary word.

5. வீடு (house)
   Common mistake: Writing "வீட" without உ is a common error; accept at P2.

Section B – Fill in the Blanks (Questions 6–10)

Marking note: Award 1 mark for each correct word. The word must fit grammatically and make sense in the sentence.

6. சூரியன்
   Reasoning: The sentence means "The ___ shines in the sky." சூரியன் (sun) is the correct word from the word box.

7. மரம்
   Reasoning: The sentence means "There are green leaves under the ___." மரம் (tree) fits the context.

8. பறவை
   Reasoning: The sentence means "The small ___ has a tail." பறவை (bird) is the correct word.
   Common mistake: Students may confuse this with பூனை (cat), but the word box only has பறவை.

9. நீர்
   Reasoning: The sentence means "I drank the ___." நீர் (water) is the correct word.

10. பூ
    Reasoning: The sentence means "The red ___ bloomed beautifully." பூ (flower) fits the context.

Section C – Choose the Correct Word (Questions 11–15)

Marking note: Award 1 mark for each correct choice.

11. (அ) சோறு
    Reasoning: "Mother cooks ___." சோறு (rice) is the only logical food item. மரம் (tree) and வீடு (house) do not make sense.

12. (இ) புத்தகம்
    Reasoning: "I go to school with ___." புத்தகம் (book) is the correct item. நாய் (dog) and மாலை (evening) do not fit.

13. (ஆ) பறவை
    Reasoning: "The white ___ flies." பறவை (bird) is the correct word. பூ (flower) does not fly; மீன் (fish) swims.

14. (ஆ) நிலா
    Reasoning: "The ___ shines at night." நிலா (moon) is correct. சூரியன் (sun) shines during the day; மழை (rain) does not shine.

15. (அ) பந்து
    Reasoning: "The child plays with ___." பந்து (ball) is the correct toy. மரம் (tree) and நீர் (water) are not typical play objects in this context.

Section D – Odd One Out (Questions 16–18)

Marking note: Award 1 mark for correctly identifying the odd word. Brief reasoning is provided for clarity.

16. பூ
    Reasoning: மாடு (cow), நாய் (dog), and பூனை (cat) are all animals. பூ (flower) is a plant, not an animal.

17. மரம்
    Reasoning: சூரியன் (sun), நிலா (moon), and நட்சத்திரம் (star) are all sky objects. மரம் (tree) is a plant on the ground.

18. மரம்
    Reasoning: சோறு (rice), பால் (milk), and பழம் (fruit) are all food/drink items. மரம் (tree) is a plant, not a food item.

Section E – Short Answer (Questions 19–20)

Marking note: Award 1 mark for each correct answer. Accept any reasonable Tamil word that fits the question.

19. மீன் (fish)
    Acceptable alternatives: Any water animal such as ஆமை (turtle), கணவாய் (frog), etc.
    Common mistake: Students may write a land animal – check that the animal actually lives in water.

20. சூரியன் (sun)
    Acceptable alternatives: மேகம் (cloud), வானம் (sky), etc.
    Common mistake: Students may write நிலா (moon) – the moon is seen at night, not during the day.
