B.Subject-Object-Verb (SOV)

C.Verb-Subject-Object (VSO)

D.Object-Subject-Verb (OSV)

Explanation: S'gaw Karen is a head-initial Sino-Tibetan language that canonically follows Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order for basic transitive sentences, unlike neighboring SOV languages such as Burmese.

A.Immediately preceding the head noun

B.Immediately following the head noun

C.At the very end of the sentence after verb particles

D.Attached as a prefix to the verb stem

Explanation: In S'gaw Karen noun phrase syntax, descriptive modifiers (adjectives) follow the head noun they modify (e.g., 'house big' for 'big house').

A.Numeral + Classifier + Noun

B.Classifier + Noun + Numeral

A.At the beginning of the sentence

B.Between the subject and the verb

C.Directly after the subject noun only

D.At the end of the sentence

Explanation: Polar (yes/no) questions in S'gaw Karen are formed by keeping standard SVO constituent order and placing a polar question particle (such as 'ha') at the end of the sentence.

5In S'gaw Karen possessive structures, what is the standard order of possessor and possessed noun?

A.Possessor + Possessive marker + Possessed noun

B.Possessed noun + Possessor without possessive marker

C.Verb + Possessor + Possessed noun

D.Possessive marker + Possessed noun + Possessor

Explanation: S'gaw Karen possessive constructions position the possessor noun phrase first, followed by the possessive marker/genitive linker, and finally the possessed noun.

A.Before the head noun at the start of the phrase

B.After the head noun and any descriptive adjectives

C.Between the subject pronoun and the main verb

D.At the very start of the sentence before the subject

A.Before the subject noun phrase

B.Infixed inside the primary verb stem

C.After the main verb or object clause

D.At the start of the preceding sentence

Explanation: Locative adpositions and spatial phrases in S'gaw Karen typically follow the main verb or object, adhering to head-initial/post-verbal adjunct positioning.

A.Preceding the subject pronoun

B.Embedded before the sentence subject

C.Only at the absolute beginning of the paragraph

D.Following the verb or post-verbal particle complex

A.It sits between the linked noun phrases to indicate conjunction or comitative association

B.It must always precede the subject of the sentence as a subordinator

C.It attaches as a prefix to the primary verb

D.It functions solely as a sentence-final question tag

Explanation: 'Doh' serves as a coordinator/comitative marker placed between two noun phrases to express 'and' or 'together with'.

10In S'gaw Karen, how is a relative clause positioned relative to the head noun it modifies?

A.It precedes the head noun as a left-branching modifier

B.It follows the head noun, often introduced or bounded by relative connectors

C.It is placed at the very end of the main verb phrase
