Primary 4 English Quiz - Vocabulary (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 20
Duration: 40 minutes

Section A: Choose the Correct Word

Answer: (1) brilliant [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Brilliant" means very smart or excellent. A discovery about stars is a smart finding, so "brilliant" fits. "Hungry", "tiny", "angry" do not describe a discovery well. Common mistake: choosing "tiny" because stars are small, but the discovery itself is not tiny.
Answer: (2) exhausted [1 mark]
Teaching note: After a long hike, people are very tired. "Exhausted" means extremely tired. "Cheerful" is happy, "noisy" is loud, "bitter" is a taste — not correct for tiredness.
Answer: (2) delighted [1 mark]
Teaching note: A dog wagging its tail is happy. "Delighted" means very pleased. "Furious" is angry, "clumsy" is awkward, "dull" is boring — wrong feelings.
Answer: (1) silent [1 mark]
Teaching note: Libraries need quiet. "Silent" means no sound. "Rotten" is decayed, "empty" is with no people, "steep" is a slope — not about noise.
Answer: (2) mysterious [1 mark]
Teaching note: A magician's trick is unknown and amazing. "Mysterious" means hard to explain. "Boring", "heavy", "plain" do not match magic shows.
Answer: (2) wise [1 mark]
Teaching note: A fair leader needs good judgement. "Wise" means smart in decisions. "Wicked" is bad, "lazy" is not working, "rough" is not gentle — unfair.
Answer: (2) spicy [1 mark]
Teaching note: Soup can be too hot in taste. "Spicy" means with strong heat. "Sweet" is sugar, "soft" is texture, "clean" is hygiene — not reason to not finish.
Answer: (1) proud [1 mark]
Teaching note: Winning makes you feel good about yourself. "Proud" is that feeling. "Scared", "asleep", "lost" are not winning feelings.

Section B: Context Clues

Answer: (2) peaceful [1 mark]
Teaching note: Context says "no wind and calm water" → peaceful. "Serene" means calm. Not noisy (opposite), dirty, or deep.
Answer: (2) unwilling [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Because he was still tired" shows he did not want to. "Reluctant" = unwilling. Not eager (opposite).
Answer: (2) old [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Built hundreds of years ago" = old. "Ancient" means from long ago. Not new.
Answer: (2) giving [1 mark]
Teaching note: "More than anyone else" shows she gave a lot. "Generous" = giving freely. Not selfish.
Answer: (2) dangerous [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Walked carefully" after rain means unsafe. "Treacherous" = dangerous. Not safe.
Answer: (2) bright and clear [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Made us feel we were there" means very clear picture. "Vivid" = bright/clear. Not unclear.

Section C: Fill in the Blanks

Answer: fragile [1 mark]
Teaching note: "Broke when it fell" → easily broken = fragile.
Answer: eager [1 mark]
Teaching note: Wanting to open presents = eager (excited).
Answer: whisper [1 mark]
Teaching note: Not waking baby = speak quietly = whisper.
Answer: enormous [1 mark]
Teaching note: Elephant vs small hut → very big = enormous.
Answer: scattered [1 mark]
Teaching note: All over floor from wind = spread around = scattered.
Answer: grumpy [1 mark]
Teaching note: Before coffee, bad mood = grumpy.

Marking summary: 20 questions × 1 mark = 20 marks. Deduct 1 mark per wrong/blank if used for scoring.
