Answer Key: Primary 6 PSLE Higher Tamil Quiz - Vocabulary
Total Marks: 40
Section A: Choose the Correct Word (Questions 1 - 5)
1. Answer: B) வெப்பமண்டல Marks: 2 Explanation: வெப்பமண்டல (veppamandala) means 'tropical'. Malaysia is known for its tropical climate and fruits. The other options are: குளிர்ந்த (kulirntha - cold), உலர்ந்த (ularntha - dry), கடுமையான (kadumaiyana - severe/harsh). These do not fit the context of describing fruits in Malaysia.
2. Answer: C) நேர்மையான Marks: 2 Explanation: நேர்மையான (nermaiyana) means 'honest'. The sentence describes a boy who always speaks the truth, so 'honest' is the best fit. The other options are: தந்திரமான (thanthiramana - cunning), வீரமான (veeramana - brave), சோம்பேறியான (sombeyriyana - lazy). These do not match the description of always speaking the truth.
3. Answer: B) சேறும் சகதியுமாக Marks: 2 Explanation: சேறும் சகதியுமாக (serum sagathiyumaga) means 'muddy and slushy'. After rain, a road typically becomes muddy. The other options are: வறண்டு (varandu - dry), சுத்தமாக (suthamaga - clean), பளிச்சென்று (palicchenru - shiny/clean). These are opposites of what a road becomes after rain.
4. Answer: A) நாணயம் Marks: 2 Explanation: நாணயம் (naanyam) means 'coin'. Grandfather is likely to keep an old coin in a locked box. The other options are: நவீன கணினி (naveena kanini - modern computer), பிளாஸ்டிக் பை (plastic bag), காகித விமானம் (paper plane). These are less likely to be kept as a valuable old item in a locked box.
5. Answer: A) வலை Marks: 2 Explanation: வலை (valai) means 'net'. Fishermen use nets to catch fish in the sea. The other options are: துணி (thuni - cloth), கத்தி (kathi - knife), பந்து (panthu - ball). These are not the primary tools used for fishing.
Section B: Match the Word with its Meaning (Questions 6 - 10)
6. Answer: B Marks: 2 Explanation: விடியல் (vidiyal) means 'dawn' or 'daybreak', which is the time in the morning when light first appears. This matches meaning B.
7. Answer: C Marks: 2 Explanation: மிகைப்படுத்து (migaippaduthu) means 'to exaggerate', which is to describe something as larger or greater than it actually is. This matches meaning C.
8. Answer: A Marks: 2 Explanation: நுண்ணிய (nunniya) means 'tiny' or 'minute'. This matches meaning A.
9. Answer: D Marks: 2 Explanation: வழுக்கை (vazhukkai) means 'baldness', which is the state of having no hair on the head. This matches meaning D.
10. Answer: E Marks: 2 Explanation: தடம் (thadam) means 'track' or 'footprint', which is a mark left by someone who has walked. This matches meaning E.
Section C: Fill in the Blanks (Questions 11 - 15)
11. Answer: ஆர்வம் Marks: 2 Explanation: ஆர்வம் (arvam) means 'interest' or 'curiosity'. When going to a new place, one often feels curiosity or interest. The other words do not fit this context as well.
12. Answer: கோபம் Marks: 2 Explanation: கோபம் (kobam) means 'anger'. Realizing one's own mistake can lead to frustration or anger with oneself. The other options do not fit the context of realizing a mistake.
13. Answer: அச்சம் Marks: 2 Explanation: அச்சம் (acham) means 'fear'. Seeing a lion suddenly would naturally cause fear in a deer. This is the most appropriate emotion in this context.
14. Answer: சந்தேகம் Marks: 2 Explanation: சந்தேகம் (sandegam) means 'doubt' or 'suspicion'. Wondering if a friend is lying creates doubt. This is the correct word for this situation.
15. Answer: மகிழ்ச்சி Marks: 2 Explanation: மகிழ்ச்சி (magizhchi) means 'happiness' or 'joy'. Receiving a gift naturally brings happiness to a child's face. This is the most appropriate word.
Section D: Choose the Odd One Out (Questions 16 - 20)
16. Answer: C) மீன் Marks: 2 Explanation: பறவை (bird), விமானம் (aeroplane), and வண்ணத்துப்பூச்சி (butterfly) are all things that can fly. மீன் (fish) lives in water and cannot fly, making it the odd one out.
17. Answer: A) செம்மை Marks: 2 Explanation: நீலம் (blue), பசுமை (green), and கருமை (black) are all colours. செம்மை (semmai) primarily means 'redness' but also 'goodness' or 'excellence'. In the context of colours, it is the odd one out as it is less commonly used as a basic colour name compared to the others. (Note: செம்மை is a valid word for red, but in common PSLE vocabulary lists, சிவப்பு is more standard for 'red', making செம்மை the odd word conceptually.)
18. Answer: D) விளக்குமாறு Marks: 2 Explanation: எழுதுகோல் (pen), புத்தகம் (book), and அழிப்பான் (eraser) are all stationery items used for writing or studying. விளக்குமாறு (broom) is a cleaning tool, not a stationery item, making it the odd one out.
19. Answer: D) மீனவர் Marks: 2 Explanation: மருத்துவர் (doctor), ஆசிரியர் (teacher), and வழக்கறிஞர் (lawyer) are all professional occupations that typically require a university degree or specialized higher education. மீனவர் (fisherman) is a traditional occupation that does not require the same formal education, making it the odd one out.
20. Answer: C) தூக்கம் Marks: 2 Explanation: சிரிப்பு (laughter), அழுகை (crying), and புன்னகை (smile) are all emotional expressions or reactions. தூக்கம் (sleep) is a physical state or activity, not an emotional expression, making it the odd one out.
