Answer Key and Marking Scheme
Subject: Chinese Language (华文)
Level: Primary 6
Paper: WA2 - Version 4
Total Marks: 50
Section A: Vocabulary and Grammar Application (15 marks)
Questions 1-5: Vocabulary (1 mark each)
-
Answer: (1) 固执己见
- Explanation: The context says Xiao Ming "finally understood the principles of being a person" after teacher's guidance, implying he was previously stubborn. "固执己见" means sticking to one's own opinion stubbornly.
- Common Mistake: Choosing (4) 漫不经意 (careless) which doesn't fit the context of needing moral guidance as well as stubbornness.
-
Answer: (3) 火急火燎
- Explanation: The fire was sudden, so firefighters rushed. "火急火燎" describes being in a great hurry or anxious urgency.
- Note: "争先恐后" (striving to be first) is also possible but "火急火燎" better captures the urgency of a disaster response in this specific collocation context often tested in PSLE. However, strictly speaking, (2) is also a strong distractor. In PSLE, "火急火燎" is often used for personal urgency, while "迅速" is for action. Let's look at the options again. (1) Slowly, (2) Striving to be first, (3) Anxious/Urgent, (4) Calm. For firefighters, "迅速" is best, but among options, (3) conveys the urgency of the situation best. Self-correction: In formal exams, "火速" is common. "火急火燎" is slightly colloquial. "争先恐后" implies competition. Let's stick with (3) as the intended answer for "urgency".
