Answer Key

2. (2 marks) Sample answer: Walaupun dia tidak mengenal erti kegagalan, dia terus berusaha untuk berjaya.

Award 0 marks if the phrase is not used correctly.
3. (2 marks) Sample answer: Kita harus menghargai kebijaksanaan orang tua supaya hidup kita lebih bermakna. Marking notes: Award 2 marks for a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence using both words. Award 1 mark if the sentence is partially correct.

5. (2 marks) Sample answer: Kebersihan kawasan sekolah terjejas akibat kemalasan beberapa orang murid. Marking notes: Award 2 marks for a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence using both words. Award 1 mark if the sentence is partially correct. Award 0 marks if the sentence is grammatically incorrect or meaningless.
Section B: Grammar and Vocabulary (10 marks)
6. (1 mark) Answer: (A) telah Explanation: "Telah" is used to indicate a completed action in the past. The sentence "Kami telah pergi ke perpustakaan itu semalam" correctly uses "telah" to show that the action of going to the library was completed yesterday. "Sedang" indicates an ongoing action, "akan" indicates a future action, and "masih" indicates a continuing state.
7. (1 mark) Answer: (A) dibaca Explanation: "Dibaca" is the passive form of the verb "membaca" (to read). In passive sentences, the subject receives the action. The sentence "Buku itu dibaca oleh Ali semalam" correctly uses the passive voice to show that the book was read by Ali. "Membaca" is active voice, "terbaca" implies accidental reading, and "baca" is the root word without proper conjugation.
8. (1 mark) Answer: (A) rajin Explanation: "Rajin" means hardworking or diligent. The sentence "Pelajar itu sangat rajin dalam pelajarannya" means "That student is very hardworking in his/her studies." The other options are antonyms or unrelated: "malas" (lazy), "leka" (negligent), and "cuai" (careless).
9. (1 mark) Answer: (B) riang Explanation: "Riang" is a synonym for "gembira" (happy/joyful). Both words express a positive emotion of happiness. "Sedih" (sad) is an antonym, "marah" (angry) is a different emotion, and "takut" (afraid) is also a different emotion.
10. (1 mark) Answer: (C) penakut Explanation: "Penakut" (cowardly/fearful) is the antonym of "berani" (brave). "Gagah" (gallant) and "hebat" (great) are synonyms or related positive traits. "Kuat" (strong) is a different quality.
11. (1 mark) Answer: (A) menjadi bukit Explanation: The complete proverb is "Sikit-sikit, lama-lama menjadi bukit" which means "Little by little, it becomes a hill" — equivalent to "Many a little makes a mickle" or "Every little bit counts." This proverb teaches the value of patience and consistent effort.
12. (1 mark) Answer: (A) Dia menari dengan cantik. Explanation: The prefix "me-" is used to form active verbs. "Menari" is the correct form of the verb "tari" (dance) with the prefix "me-". Option (B) uses reduplication which changes the meaning, option (C) uses the suffix "-kan" which is a different affix, and option (D) is grammatically correct but uses a different verb form.
13. (1 mark) Answer: (B) Nasi dimasak oleh ibu di dapur. Explanation: A passive sentence has the structure: Object + di-verb + oleh + Subject + Location/Time. Option (B) follows this structure correctly. Option (A) is active voice, option (C) is missing "oleh" which is needed for a complete passive sentence, and option (D) is active voice with "sedang" indicating ongoing action.
14. (1 mark) Answer: (B) Dia tidak datang kerana dia sakit. Explanation: "Kerana" (because) is a conjunction that connects two clauses. Option (B) correctly uses "kerana" to connect the main clause "Dia tidak datang" with the reason clause "dia sakit." Option (A) is incomplete (missing the subject after "kerana"), option (C) is redundant ("kerana" and "sebab" have the same meaning), and option (D) is grammatically awkward.
15. (1 mark) Answer: (A) Kami pergi ke sekolah setiap hari. Explanation: "Kami" is the first-person plural pronoun (we, excluding the listener). Option (A) uses "kami" correctly. Option (B) is redundant ("kami" and "saya" refer to different groups), option (C) is redundant ("kami" already includes the speaker), and option (D) is grammatically correct but less natural than option (A).

Encik Razak bin Abdullah, Pengetua, Sekolah Kebangsaan Indah, 08000 Sungai Petani, Kedah.
Tuan,
Cadangan Menganjurkan Lawatan Sekolah ke Zoo Negara
Saya ingin mencadangkan agar sekolah kita menganjurkan lawatan ke Zoo Negara. Saya percaya ini adalah tempat yang sesuai kerana murid-murid dapat mempelajari tentang hidupan liar secara langsung.
Di Zoo Negara, murid-murid dapat melihat pelbagai jenis haiwan dan mempelajari tentang habitat mereka. Selain itu, murid-murid juga dapat menyertai program pendidikan yang dianjurkan oleh zoo tersebut.
Saya berharap Encik Razak dapat mempertimbangkan cadangan ini. Terima kasih atas perhatian Tuan.
Yang benar, Ahmad bin Ismail (5A Mawar)
