The Mysterious Garden
One Saturday morning, Priya decided to explore the old house at the end of her street. The house had been empty for as long as she could remember. Its garden was overgrown with tall weeds and wildflowers. A rusty gate creaked as she pushed it open.
As she walked along the narrow path, Priya noticed something unusual. In the middle of the garden stood a large mango tree, and hanging from one of its branches was a wooden swing. The swing looked old but sturdy. Priya sat on it and began to swing gently.
While she was swinging, she spotted a small, leather-bound book half-buried in the soil beneath the tree. She picked it up and brushed off the dirt. The cover read: "The Secret Garden Diary — 1965." Priya opened the first page and read the neat handwriting: "If you are reading this, you have found my secret place. This garden holds many surprises. Look carefully, and you will discover something wonderful."
Priya's heart raced with excitement. She looked around the garden more carefully and noticed a row of painted stones leading to the back of the garden. She followed the stones and found a small wooden box hidden behind a bush. Inside the box was a collection of old photographs and a letter addressed to "The Next Explorer."
She sat down under the mango tree and read the letter. It was written by a girl named Mei Ling, who had lived in the house in 1965. Mei Ling wrote about how she had planted the mango tree when she was ten years old and how the garden had been her favourite place to play. She ended the letter with these words: "I hope this garden brings you as much joy as it brought me."
Priya smiled. She decided to take the diary home and read it properly. She also made a promise to herself — she would take care of the garden and keep Mei Ling's secret place alive.

Answers

Answer Key (Version 3 of 5)
Booklet A
Section A: Grammar MCQ (10 marks)
1. (3) finished
Explanation: "Yesterday" signals past tense. The past tense of "finish" is "finished."
2. (2) are
Explanation: With "neither…nor," the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. "Friends" is plural, so "are" is correct.
3. (3) baked
Explanation: "Last Saturday" signals past tense. The past tense of "bake" is "baked."
4. (4) were
Explanation: "Who" refers to "the pupils" (plural), so the plural past tense "were" is needed.
5. (2) are
Explanation: "Books" is plural, so the plural verb "are" is required.
6. (2) rains
Explanation: In a first conditional (Type 1), the "if" clause uses the present simple. "It" is third-person singular, so "rains" is correct.
7. (1) is
Explanation: "Team" is a collective noun treated as singular in this context, so "is" is correct.
8. (3) was
Explanation: "Each" is singular, so the singular verb "was" is required.
9. (2) goes
Explanation: "Every Sunday" signals a habitual action (present simple). "She" is third-person singular, so "goes" is correct.
10. (3) is
Explanation: "News" is an uncountable noun and always takes a singular verb, so "is" is correct.
Section B: Vocabulary MCQ (5 marks)
11. (1) discovery
Explanation: A noun is needed after "an important." "Discovery" is the correct noun form.
12. (3) unclear
Explanation: The context ("nobody could understand them") indicates the instructions were not clear. "Unclear" is the correct adjective.
13. (2) grateful
Explanation: An adjective is needed after "be." "Grateful" is the correct adjective form meaning thankful.
14. (3) amazing
Explanation: An adjective is needed to describe the trick. "Amazing" means causing great surprise or wonder.
15. (2) carefully
Explanation: An adverb is needed to describe how the hikers walked. "Carefully" is the adverb form of "careful."

Any suitable past tense verb meaning "reached the destination."
23. laughed / looked / pointed

27. had checked / had read

Section E: Editing — Spelling and Grammar (6 marks)
29.
Spelling error: happly → happily
Grammar error: childs → children
Marking note: "Children" is the irregular plural of "child." "Happily" is the adverb form.
30.
Spelling error: recieved → received
Grammar error: beautifull → beautiful
Marking note: "Received" follows the "i before e except after c" rule. "Beautiful" has only one "l."
31.
Spelling error: wrote → write
Grammar error: ask → asked
Marking note: After "to," the base form "write" is needed (infinitive). "Ask" should be past tense "asked" to match the narrative.
32.
Spelling error: feild → field
Grammar error: sheeps → sheep
Marking note: "Sheep" is the same in singular and plural (irregular noun). "Field" is the correct spelling.
33.
Spelling error: catched → catch
Grammar error: runned → ran
Marking note: "Ran" is the irregular past tense of "run." After "to," the base form "catch" is needed (infinitive).
34.
Spelling error: wether → weather
Grammar error: was → was (no grammar error — accept if student identifies "wether" as the only error and leaves grammar blank, or any reasonable grammar observation)
Marking note: "Weather" (climate) is often confused with "wether" (a castrated ram). If no grammar error is found, award the mark for correct spelling correction and a valid attempt.
Section F: Sentence Synthesis & Transformation (6 marks)
35. The boy who won the art competition is my neighbour.
OR: The boy who is my neighbour won the art competition.
Marking note: The relative pronoun "who" must be used to combine the two sentences. Award 2 marks for a grammatically correct combined sentence. Award 1 mark if the meaning is correct but there is a minor grammatical error.
36. All the books were arranged neatly on the shelf by the librarian.
Marking note: The object ("all the books") becomes the subject. The verb changes to passive form ("were arranged"). The original subject ("the librarian") becomes the agent introduced by "by." Award 2 marks for a correct passive construction. Award 1 mark for a partially correct attempt.
37. The coach said that we had to practise every day if we wanted to win.
Marking note: In reported speech, "must" changes to "had to," "you" changes to "we" (or "they" depending on context), and "want" changes to "wanted." Award 2 marks for correct reported speech. Award 1 mark for a partially correct attempt with minor errors.

Priya decided to take the diary home to read it properly and made a promise to take care of the garden to keep Mei Ling's secret place alive. This shows that Priya is curious (she wanted to explore and read the diary), responsible (she wanted to take care of the garden), and respectful of others' memories (she wanted to keep Mei Ling's secret place alive). She is also thoughtful and caring.

- 1 mark for explaining what this shows about her character
