Primary 2 Tamil Quiz - Vocabulary (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 20
Section A: Picture Vocabulary (Questions 1–5) [5 marks]
1. Answer: B) மாம்பழம் (mango) [1]
Explanation: The picture shows a mango fruit on a tree. "மாம்பழம்" is the specific Tamil word for mango. "பழம்" means fruit in general, "வாழைப்பழம்" is banana, and "ஆப்பிள்" is apple.
2. Answer: B) பள்ளி (school) [1]
Explanation: The scene shows a classroom with a teacher, blackboard, students, and desks. "பள்ளி" means school. "வீடு" is house, "கடை" is shop, and "பூங்கா" is park.
3. Answer: C) இரவு சாப்பாடு (dinner) [1]
Explanation: The family is eating a meal in the evening setting with rice, sambar, and vegetables. "இரவு சாப்பாடு" means dinner. "காலை சாப்பாடு" is breakfast, "மத்தியான சாப்பாடு" is lunch, and "மலர்" means flower (unrelated).
4. Answer: B) பஸ் (bus) [1]
Explanation: The vehicle shown is a school bus with children boarding. "பஸ்" is the Tamil word for bus (adapted from English). "வண்டி" means cart, "கார்" is car, and "ரயில்" is train.
5. Answer: B) படிக்கிறார் (reading) [1]
Explanation: The child is holding an open book and looking at the pages. "படிக்கிறார்" means "he/she reads/is reading". "எழுதுகிறார்" is writing, "விளையாடுகிறார்" is playing, and "தூங்குகிறார்" is sleeping.
Section B: Word Matching and Classification (Questions 6–12) [7 marks]
6. Correct Matching: [3]
- அம்மா → Mother
- அப்பா → Father
- அண்ணன் → Elder Brother
- தங்கை → Younger Sister
Marking: 1 mark for each correct pair (3 pairs = 3 marks).
Common mistake: Confusing அம்மா (mother) and அப்பா (father). Remember: அம்மா starts with 'அ' like 'Amma' (mother), அப்பா starts with 'அ' like 'Appa' (father).
7. Answer: மலை (mountain) [1]
Explanation: கடல் (sea), நதி (river), and ஏரி (lake) are all bodies of water. மலை (mountain) is a landform, not a water body.
8. Answer: பூச்சி (insect) [1]
Explanation: பூனை (cat), நாய் (dog), and கோழி (chicken) are all animals (mammals/birds). பூச்சி (insect) belongs to a different biological class.
Alternative acceptable answer: கோழி (chicken) — if the student reasons that cat and dog are mammals/pets while chicken is a bird/farm animal. Both answers with valid reasoning receive the mark.
9. Answer: தென்னமரம் / தேங்காய் மரம் (coconut tree) [1]
Explanation: The picture shows a tall palm tree with coconuts. In Tamil, coconut tree is "தேங்காய் மரம்" or "தென்னமரம்". Accept either spelling.
10. Answer: A) மாம்பழம் [1]
Explanation: The sentence "நான் _______________ பழம் சாப்பிடுகிறேன்" means "I eat _______________ fruit." Only "மாம்பழம்" (mango) is a fruit. "பள்ளி" (school), "பேனா" (pen), and "மேசை" (table) are not fruits.
11. Answers: [2]
(a) Red = சிவப்பு / செம்பொன்
(b) Blue = நீலம் / கருநீலம்
Marking: 1 mark each. Accept common colour vocabulary taught in Primary 2.
12. Sample Answer (accept any valid chain): [1]
பள்ளி → இலக்கணம் → மாம்பழம்
(Last letter of பள்ளி is 'லி' → word starting with 'லி' or 'ல' → இலக்கணம் → last letter 'ம' → மாம்பழம்)
Marking: 1 mark for a valid two-word chain following the rule. The chain must use real Tamil words.
Teaching note: This tests vocabulary retrieval and phonological awareness (initial/final sounds).
Section C: Vocabulary in Context (Questions 13–20) [8 marks]
13. Answer: B) வேகமாக (quickly) [1]
Explanation: The underlined word வேகமாக means "quickly" or "fast". The sentence "அவன் வேகமாக ஓடுகிறான்" translates to "He runs quickly." Option A (மெதுவாக) is the opposite (slowly).
14. Answer: A) சிறிய (small) [1]
Explanation: The opposite of பெரிய (big/large) is சிறிய (small). This is a basic antonym pair taught in Primary 2. நீண்ட means long, உயர்ந்த means tall, வலுவான means strong — none are direct opposites of "big".
15. Answer: C) உள் (inside) [1]
Explanation: The opposite of வெளி (outside) is உள் (inside). மேலே = above, கீழே = below, பக்கம் = side.
16. Answer: பேனா (pen) [1]
Explanation: The sentence "நான் _______________ உடன் எழுதுகிறேன்" means "I write with a _______________." From the word box, only "பேனா" (pen) is a writing instrument. "புத்தகம்" = book, "மேசை" = table, "கருப்பு" = black (colour).
17. Answers: [2]
-
பூங்கா means B) Park / Garden [1]
Explanation: The passage describes Ramu and Sita walking to school and seeing a "பூங்கா" with colourful "மலர்கள்" (flowers). A park/garden fits this context. -
மலர்கள் means B) Flowers [1]
Explanation: "மலர்கள்" is the plural of "மலர்" (flower). The passage says the park has colourful "மலர்கள்". Trees = மரங்கள், Birds = பறவைகள், Benches = பேன்சுகள்.
18. Sample Answer (accept any grammatically correct sentence using பறக்கும்): [2]
- "சிறு பிள்ளை வானில் பறக்கும் விமானம் பார்க்கிறான்." (The little boy watches the flying aeroplane in the sky.)
- "அவன் பறக்கும் பறவை போல ஆடுகிறான்." (He plays like a flying bird.)
- "நான் பறக்கும் பேட்டை வீசுகிறேன்." (I fly a flying kite.)
Marking:
- 1 mark for correct usage of பறக்கும் (as participle/adjective before a noun)
- 1 mark for a complete, meaningful Tamil sentence with correct grammar
Common mistakes: Using "பறக்கும்" as a finite verb without a subject, or incorrect word order.
19. Answer: B) தீபாவளி (Deepavali) [1]
Explanation: The picture shows oil lamps (deepam), kolam designs, and family in new clothes — all hallmarks of Deepavali (Festival of Lights). Pongal is harvest festival (with sugarcane, pot), Christmas has tree/Santa, Ramzan involves fasting/mosque.
