1Which of the following is the correct Sandhi (phonetic junction) of the word 'দিগন্ত' (Diganta)?

A.দিক + অন্ত (Dik + Anta)

B.দিগ + অন্ত (Dig + Anta)

C.দি + গন্ত (Di + Ganta)

D.দিঃ + অন্ত (Dih + Anta)

Explanation: According to Sanskrit Sandhi rules, if a voiceless velar stop 'ক্' (k) at the end of a word is followed by a vowel, it changes into its corresponding voiced stop 'গ্' (g). Therefore, 'দিক + অন্ত' becomes 'দিগন্ত'. The other choices violate this phonetic junction rule.

2Who is the author of the Bengali poetry collection 'Gitanjali', which earned the author the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913?

A.Rabindranath Tagore

B.Kazi Nazrul Islam

C.Jibanananda Das

D.Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay

Explanation: Rabindranath Tagore wrote 'Gitanjali' (Song Offerings), which was published in 1910. He translated it into English, and in 1913 he became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. Kazi Nazrul Islam is Bangladesh's national poet, Sarat Chandra is a novelist, and Jibanananda Das is a modern poet.

3What type of Samas (compound word) is 'স্মৃতিসৌধ' (Smritisoudha - Memorial)?

A.Madhyapadalopi Karmadharaya

B.Upapada Tatpurusha

C.Sasthi Tatpurusha

D.Vyadhikarana Bahuvrihi

Explanation: The Vyas-vakya (analytical sentence) for 'স্মৃতিসৌধ' is 'স্মৃতি রক্ষার্থে সৌধ' (palace/structure built to preserve memory). Here, the middle phrase 'রক্ষার্থে' (to preserve) is omitted in the compound word. Therefore, it is classified as Madhyapadalopi Karmadharaya Samas.

4In the sentence 'ডাক্তার ডাক' (Call the doctor), in which case (Karaka) and case-ending (Vibhakti) is the word 'ডাক্তার' (Doctor)?

A.Karma Karaka in Nominative (0) Vibhakti

B.Karta Karaka in Nominative (0) Vibhakti

C.Karana Karaka in Nominative (0) Vibhakti

D.Sampradana Karaka in Nominative (0) Vibhakti

Explanation: In 'ডাক্তার ডাক', 'ডাক্তার' is the object of the action 'ডাক' (call). Since the object receives the action, it is in the Karma Karaka (Accusative Case). There is no visible case ending attached to the word 'ডাক্তার', so it is in the Nominative/Zero (Prathama/Shunya) Vibhakti.

5What is the meaning of the Bengali idiom (Bagdhara) 'আকাশ কুসুম' (Akash Kushum)?

A.Daydream or impossible fancy

B.An unexpected gift

C.A highly valuable asset

D.Fierce rivalry or enmity

Explanation: The literal meaning of 'আকাশ কুসুম' is 'a flower in the sky', which is physically impossible. Therefore, as an idiom, it represents a daydream, illusion, or an impossible fancy that has no connection with reality.

6Which of the following is the correct spelling of the Bengali word meaning 'moment'?

A.মুহূর্ত (Muhurta)

B.মুহুত্ত (Muhutta)

C.মুহুর্ত (Muhurta with short u)

D.মূহুর্ত (Muhurta with long u first)

Explanation: The correct spelling is 'মুহূর্ত'. It consists of the consonant 'ম' with a short 'u' (মু), followed by 'হ' with a long 'u' (হূ), and 'ত' with a ref (র্ত). Spelled out: ম + উ + হ + ঊ + র + ত.

7Which text is considered the oldest literary specimen of the Bengali language?

A.Charyapada

B.Srikrishna Kirtana

C.Maimansingha Gitika

D.Padavali

Explanation: Charyapada is a collection of Buddhist mystic songs dating from the 8th to the 12th century. It was discovered by Haraprasad Shastri in the royal library of Nepal in 1907. It is universally accepted as the oldest surviving specimen of Bengali literature.

8Who is the national poet of Bangladesh, famous for his fiery, anti-imperialist poem 'Bidrohi'?

A.Kazi Nazrul Islam

A.কৃ + তব্য (Kr + Tabya)

B.কর + তব্য (Kar + Tabya)

C.কর্তৃ + য (Kartr + Ya)

D.ক + তব্য (Ka + Tabya)

Explanation: In Bengali grammar, 'কর্তব্য' is a Sanskrit primary derivative word (Kridanta). The root verb is 'কৃ' (meaning 'to do') and the suffix is 'তব্য' (indicating suitability or necessity). When combined, they form the word 'কর্তব্য'.

10Which of the following is a synonym of the Bengali word 'কোকিল' (Kokil - cuckoo)?

A.কাক (Kak)

B.পরভোজী (Parabhoji)
