A.তুই বলিস (tui bolis)
B.তুমি বলো (tumi bolo)
C.আপনি বলেন/বলেন (apni bolen)
D.সে বলে (se bole)
Explanation: In Bengali, 'আপনি' (apni) is the formal/honorific second-person pronoun used with elders and teachers, pairing with verb endings such as '-েন' (-en).
2What is the correct locative case suffix in Bengali applied to a word ending in a consonant, such as 'বই' (book) or 'ঘর' (room)?
A.-কে (-ke)
B.-র (-r)
C.-ে (-e)
D.-জন (-jon)
Explanation: The locative case (অধিকরণ কারক) marks location or container state and takes the suffix '-ে' (-e) when attached to consonant-ending roots, turning 'ঘর' (room) into 'ঘরে' (in the room).
3Which postposition in Bengali is used to express the concept of 'with' or 'along with' someone?
A.জন্য (jonno)
B.সঙ্গে (shongge)
C.থেকে (theke)
D.উপরে (upore)
Explanation: The postposition 'সঙ্গে' (shongge) or 'সাথে' (shathe) translates to 'with' or 'together with' in Bengali, following a noun in the genitive case.
4In standard Cholit Bengali, what is the simple past tense suffix for the first person ('আমি' - I)?
A.-লাম (-lam)
B.-বেন (-ben)
C.-ছিনু (-chinu)
D.-বো (-bo)
Explanation: The suffix '-লাম' (-lam) forms the first-person simple past tense in modern Cholit Bengali, as in 'আমি করলাম' (I did) or 'আমি গেলাম' (I went).
5Which Bengali sentence correctly uses the present continuous tense to mean 'I am reading a book'?
A.আমি বই পড়ি। (ami boi poRi.)
B.আমি বই পড়ছি। (ami boi poRchi.)
C.আমি বই পড়েছিলাম। (ami boi poRechhilam.)
D.আমি বই পড়বো। (ami boi poRbo.)
Explanation: The present continuous form 'পড়ছি' (poRchi) combines the verbal root with the continuous aspect marker and first-person ending to mean 'am reading'.
6What is the Genitive (possessive) case marker attached to a noun ending in a vowel like 'মা' (mother)?
A.-কে (-ke)
B.-র (-r)
C.-তে (-te)
D.-এ (-e)
Explanation: When a noun ends in a vowel such as 'মা' (mother), the genitive suffix '-র' (-r) is appended to form 'মার' or 'মায়ের' (mother's).
7Which word functions as the negative particle for present state or non-action, meaning 'is not' (identity negation) in Bengali?
A.না (na)
B.নি (ni)
C.নয় (noy)
D.মনা (mona)
Explanation: In Bengali, 'নয়' (noy) or 'নয়' (is not) negates identity or qualitative attributes (copula negation), whereas 'না' negates actions or general facts.
8Which of the following is the Cholit Bhasha (colloquial modern) equivalent of the Sadhu Bhasha verb 'করিয়াছিল' (koriyachhilo)?
A.করছিলো (korchHilo)
B.করেছিল (korechHilo)
C.করবে (korbe)
D.করুক (koruk)
Explanation: The Sadhu verb form 'করিয়াছিল' (past perfect / simple past) simplifies to 'করেছিল' (korechHilo) in standard Cholit Bhasha.

A.-রা (-ra)
B.-গুলো (-gulo)
C.-খানা (-khana)
D.-টা (-ta)
Explanation: The suffix '-রা' (-ra) (or '-েরা' / '-েদের') is the nominative plural marker specifically reserved for human nouns in Bengali.
10Which conjunction in Bengali is used to connect two contrasting statements, meaning 'but'?
A.এবং (ebong)
B.কিন্তু (kintu)
C.কারণ (karon)
D.অথবা (othoba)
Explanation: The conjunction 'কিন্তু' (kintu) expresses contrast or opposition between two clauses, translating directly to 'but'.
