Section H: Reading Comprehension (6 marks)
Read the passage below carefully and answer questions 43 to 48.
Passage:
Ten-year-old Ahmad stared at the mathematics problem on the whiteboard. His palms were sweaty, and his heart raced. This was the final round of the Inter-Class Math Quiz, and his class was trailing by two points. If he solved this problem correctly, they would tie for first place.
"Think, Ahmad, think," he whispered to himself. He remembered what his father had told him: "When a problem looks impossible, break it into smaller parts." Ahmad took a deep breath and read the question again carefully.
The problem involved finding the area of an unusual shape — a rectangle with a semi-circle attached to one end. Ahmad recalled the formulas: area of a rectangle is length × breadth, and area of a circle is π × radius². A semi-circle would be half of that.
He picked up his marker and began working. First, he calculated the rectangle's area: 12 cm × 8 cm = 96 cm². Then, the semi-circle: the diameter was 8 cm, so the radius was 4 cm. Half of π × 4² = half of 16π = 8π cm². Using 3.14 for π, that was 25.12 cm².
Total area = 96 + 25.12 = 121.12 cm².
Ahmad wrote his final answer on the board. The judge checked it and nodded. "Correct!" The hall erupted in cheers. Ahmad's classmates rushed forward to congratulate him. He beamed with pride — not just for winning, but for remembering his father's advice when it mattered most.
43. How was Ahmad feeling at the beginning of the passage? Give two feelings.

47. Which word in the passage has the same meaning as "burst out suddenly"?

48. Why did Ahmad feel proud at the end?

Subject: English
Level: Primary 4
Paper: Practice Paper 2 (Version 2 of 5)
Total Marks: 50
BOOKLET A (20 marks)
Section A: Grammar MCQ (10 marks)
1. (3) has been
Explanation: "The box of chocolates" is a singular subject (the main noun is "box"), so it takes a singular verb. "Has been" is the present perfect singular form, indicating an action that started in the past and continues to the present. "Have been" would be plural.
2. (2) are
Explanation: With "neither...nor", the verb agrees with the noun closest to it (proximity rule). "Students" is plural, so the verb must be plural ("are").
3. (3) by
Explanation: "By Friday" means "not later than Friday" (a deadline). "On Friday" would mean specifically on that day. The context of submitting homework suggests a deadline.
4. (1) go
Explanation: "My sister and I" is a plural subject (equivalent to "we"), so the base form "go" is correct. "Goes" is singular.
5. (3) were playing
Explanation: The past continuous tense ("were playing") is used for an action in progress at a specific time in the past ("when it started to rain").
6. (2) Each
Explanation: "Each of the two boys" takes a singular verb ("has"). "Both" would take "have". "All" and "every" don't fit grammatically with "of the two boys".
7. (2) whether
Explanation: In reported yes/no questions, "whether" (or "if") is used. "That" is used for statements, not questions. "What" and "why" are question words for open-ended questions.
8. (2) delicious
Explanation: "Smell" is a linking verb (sense verb) and is followed by an adjective ("delicious"), not an adverb ("deliciously"). The cake is delicious; it doesn't smell in a delicious manner.
9. (3) were
Explanation: This is the second conditional (unreal present/hypothetical situation). The structure is "If + past simple (were), ... would + base verb". "Were" is used for all persons in formal English (subjunctive mood).
10. (3) whose
Explanation: "Whose" is the possessive relative pronoun for people (and things). "Who" is for subjects, "whom" for objects, "which" for things.
Section B: Vocabulary MCQ (5 marks)
11. (1) exhausted
Explanation: "Exhausted" means extremely tired, which fits the context of trekking for three hours. The other options are opposite or unrelated.
12. (2) captivating
Explanation: "Captivating" means fascinating/holding attention, which explains why the audience gasped in amazement. "Dull" and "ordinary" are opposites; "confusing" doesn't fit "amazement".
13. (3) turn off
Explanation: "Turn off" means to switch off (lights/appliances) to save electricity. "Turn on" is the opposite; "turn up/down" refers to volume/heat.
14. (2) demolished
Explanation: "Demolished" means pulled/torn down (a building). "Renovated" means repaired/improved; "constructed" means built; "decorated" means made to look attractive.
15. (1) honesty
Explanation: Admitting a mistake shows honesty (truthfulness). While it takes courage, the primary virtue demonstrated by admitting is honesty.
Section C: Visual Text Comprehension (5 marks)
16. (2) Saturday, 15 June 2024
Source: Poster states "Saturday, 15 June 2024" under the event title.
17. (2) 9:30 AM
Source: Poster lists "Obstacle Course Challenge (9:30 AM)".
18. (2) Bishan Community Club
Source: Poster states "Bishan Community Club, 51 Bishan Street 13" as the venue.
19. (4) Enquiries can be made by calling 6255 1234.
Source: Poster states "Call 6255 1234 for enquiries". Option (1) is false (FREE Admission). Option (2) is false (deadline is 8 June). Option (3) is false (Lucky Draw at 11:30 AM, Tug-of-War at 11:00 AM).
20. (3) Online at www.bishancc.sg or by scanning the QR code
Source: Poster states "Register by 8 June at www.bishancc.sg or scan QR code".
BOOKLET B (30 marks)
Section D: Grammar Cloze (8 marks)
| Blank | Answer | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 21 | (H) to | "went to" — preposition for movement towards a place |
| 22 | (F) for | "went ... for a picnic" — purpose |
| 23 | (A) at | "at 9 o'clock" — specific time |
| 24 | (B) in | "in the morning" — part of the day |
| 25 | (E) with | "sunny with a gentle breeze" — accompanying condition |
| 26 | (C) on | "spread our mat on a shady tree" — position on a surface (under the tree canopy) — Note: "under" would also work but "on" is the only option indicating position; "on a shady tree" = on the ground beneath the tree |
| 27 | (G) from | "brought ... from home" — origin |
| 28 | (D) by | "took a walk by the lake" — alongside/near |
Section E: Editing for Spelling and Grammar (6 marks)
| Q | Error | Correction | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 29 | enjoy | enjoys | Subject "My brother" is singular third person → verb adds 's' (present simple) |
| 30 | quite | quiet | Spelling: "quiet" (adjective, silent) vs "quite" (adverb, fairly) |
| 31 | decided | decide | After "to" (infinitive), use base form "decide" |
| 31 | suprise | surprise | Spelling: "surprise" (u before r) |
| 32 | was | were | Subject "The children" is plural → "were" |
| 32 | colorful | colourful | Spelling: British English "colourful" (with 'u') — standard in Singapore |
| 33 | hand | hand | No error — "hand in" is correct phrasal verb. Wait, the question says each underlined word contains an error. Let me re-read: "Please hand in your worksheet by tomorrow," — "hand" is correct. Perhaps the error is "by" → "on"? No, "by tomorrow" = deadline. Actually, in some contexts "hand in" might be considered the unit. But the instruction says "Each of the underlined words contains either a spelling or grammatical error." If "hand" is underlined alone, it's correct. Let me assume the error is in "worksheet" → "work sheet"? No, "worksheet" is one word. Let me adjust: perhaps the intended error is "tomorrow" → "the next day" in reported speech? But it's direct speech. I'll keep "hand" as correct and note the issue. Actually, looking at typical P4 editing: "hand" might be underlined as part of "hand in" but the error could be "by" → "on"? No. Let me treat this as: the error is "hand" should be "hand in" but only "hand" is underlined. This is a flawed item. I'll mark "hand" as correct (no change) but the format requires a correction. Let me assume the error is "by" → "on" but "by" isn't underlined. I'll put "hand" and note it's correct. Correction: hand (no error — but if forced: "submit" as synonym? No. I'll put "hand" and explain.) |
| 34 | teached | taught | Irregular verb: teach → taught (past tense) |
| 34 | knitt | knit | Spelling: "knit" (one 't') — irregular verb, same form for present/past |
Marking note for Q33: If "hand" is the only underlined word and it is correct, the question is flawed. In practice, accept "hand" or "submit" as correction. Award mark if student identifies no error or provides a valid synonym.
Section F: Sentence Synthesis and Transformation (4 marks)
35. After Ali had finished his homework, he went out to play.
OR After finishing his homework, Ali went out to play.
Marking: 2 marks. 1 mark for correct conjunction "After", 1 mark for correct verb form (past perfect "had finished" or gerund "finishing") and subject consistency.
Common error: "After Ali finished his homework..." (simple past — acceptable in some contexts but past perfect/gerund preferred for clear sequence).
36. The prefect told the pupils not to run in the corridor.
Marking: 2 marks. 1 mark for "not to run" (negative infinitive), 1 mark for "in the corridor" (retained).
Common error: "The prefect told the pupils do not run..." (incorrect — must use infinitive after "told" in reported command). "The prefect told the pupils that they should not run..." (changes structure — not a direct transformation using infinitive).
Section G: Comprehension Cloze (6 marks)
37. very / really / extremely / so
Context: "feeling _______ excited" — needs an intensifier adverb.
38. agreed / arranged / planned / decided
Context: "They _______ to meet" — past tense verb followed by infinitive "to meet".
39. already / there / waiting
Context: "Sarah was already _______ there" — adverb "already" fits before "there"; or "waiting" as participle ("was waiting there"). "Already" is most natural with "was ... there".
40. had
Context: "The bus _______ just left" — past perfect "had just left" for action completed before another past action (Mei Ling arriving).
41. browsing / looking / flipping / reading
Context: "spent hours _______ through books" — gerund after "spent time". "Browsing through" is a strong collocation.
42. while / whereas / and / but
Context: Contrast between Mei Ling's choice (space book) and Sarah's (mystery novel). "While" or "whereas" shows contrast best.
Section H: Reading Comprehension (6 marks)
43. Ahmad was feeling nervous/anxious/worried and determined/focused/pressured.
Evidence: "palms were sweaty, and his heart raced" (nervousness); "Think, Ahmad, think" / "He remembered what his father had told him" (determined/focused).
Marking: 1 mark each for any two appropriate feelings. Accept synonyms.
44. His father told him: "When a problem looks impossible, break it into smaller parts."
Evidence: Direct quote in paragraph 2.
Marking: 1 mark for accurate paraphrase or quote.
45. The shape was a rectangle with a semi-circle attached to one end.
Evidence: Paragraph 3: "a rectangle with a semi-circle attached to one end".
Marking: 1 mark. Must mention both rectangle and semi-circle.
46. The radius was 4 cm.
Evidence: Paragraph 4: "the diameter was 8 cm, so the radius was 4 cm".
Marking: 1 mark. Unit "cm" required.
47. erupted
Evidence: "The hall erupted in cheers." — "erupted" means burst out suddenly.
Marking: 1 mark. Exact word from passage.
48. He felt proud not just for winning, but for remembering his father's advice when it mattered most.
Evidence: Last sentence: "He beamed with pride — not just for winning, but for remembering his father's advice when it mattered most."
Marking: 1 mark. Must mention both winning AND remembering father's advice (or applying it).
