1Which of the following is the correct Swara-Sandhi (স্বরসন্ধি) split for the Bengali word 'বিদ্যালয়' (Vidyalaya)?

A.বিদ + আলয় (Vida + Alaya)

B.বিদ্যা + আলয (Vidya + Alaya)

C.বিদ্য + আলয় (Vidya + Alaya)

D.বিদ্যা + আলয় (Vidya + Alaya)

Explanation: In Bengali Swara-Sandhi, when 'আ' (ā) combines with another 'আ' (ā), they merge into a long 'আ' (ā). Thus, 'বিদ্যা' (knowledge) + 'আলয়' (abode) forms 'বিদ্যালয়' (abode of knowledge).

2In Bengali grammar, which type of Samas (সমাস) is exemplified by the compound word 'মা-বাবা' (Ma-Baba / Parents)?

A.Tatpurush Samas (তৎপুরুষ সমাস)

B.Karmadharaya Samas (কর্মধারয় সমাস)

C.Bahubrihi Samas (বহুব্রীহি সমাস)

D.Dwandwa Samas (দ্বন্দ্ব সমাস)

Explanation: Dwandwa Samas occurs when two or more words of equal grammatical rank combine, and the meaning of every constituent word remains equally prominent (e.g., 'মা ও বাবা' = 'মা-বাবা').

3Identify the Karak (কারক) of the underlined word in the sentence: 'কলম দিয়ে (Kolom diye) চিঠি লেখা হচ্ছে' (Writing a letter with a pen).

A.Karta Karak (কর্তা কারক)

B.Karma Karak (কর্ম কারক)

C.Apadan Karak (অপাদান কারক)

D.Karan Karak (করণ কারক)

Explanation: Karan Karak indicates the instrument, tool, or means by which an action is performed. Here, 'কলম দিয়ে' (with a pen) serves as the instrument for the verb 'লেখা' (writing).

4Which of the following is the correct Saral Bakya (সরল বাক্য / Simple Sentence) transformation of the Jatil Bakya: 'যে পরিশ্রম করে, সে-ই সফলতা লাভ করে'?

A.যে পরিশ্রম করবে এবং সে সফল হবে।

B.পরিশ্রম করলে সফলতা পাওয়া যাবে কিন্তু কষ্ট হবে।

C.যদি পরিশ্রম করে তবে সে সফলতা পাবে।

D.পরিশ্রমী ব্যক্তি সফলতা লাভ করে।

Explanation: A Saral Bakya contains a single finite verb (সমাপিকা ক্রিয়া) and subject clause without dependent relative pronouns (যে...সে). 'পরিশ্রমী ব্যক্তি সফলতা লাভ করে' is a concise simple sentence.

5According to Natto Bidhi (ণত্ব বিধান) in Bengali grammar, why does 'ণ' (Murddhanya-na) follow 'ঋ', 'র', or 'ষ'?

A.It applies exclusively to foreign borrowed words like English or Persian terms.

B.Dental 'ন' is used after 'ঋ', 'র', 'ষ' in all Sadhu bhasha prose writings.

C.It is a rule governing compound verb endings in Deshi words.

D.In Tatsama words, retroflex sound roots 'ঋ', 'র', 'ষ' phonetically transform dental 'ন' into retroflex 'ণ'.

Explanation: Natto Bidhi specifies that in original Sanskrit (Tatsama) words, retroflex vowels/consonants 'ঋ', 'র', 'ষ' naturally mandate retroflex 'ণ' rather than dental 'ন' (e.g., ঋণ, কারণ, বারণ).

6What is the correct split for Byanjan-Sandhi (ব্যঞ্জনসন্ধি) in the word 'সৎ + জন' (Sat + Jana)?

A.সজ্জজন (Sajjjana)

B.সৎজন (Satjana)

C.সদজন (Sadjana)

D.সজ্জন (Sajjana)

Explanation: When dental 'ত' (or 'ৎ') meets voiced palatal 'জ', 'ত' assimilates to 'জ', creating the doubled consonant 'জ্জ'. Hence, 'সৎ + জন = সজ্জন'.

7What is the meaning of the Bahubrihi Samas (বহুব্রীহি সমাস) compound 'পীতাম্বর' (Pitambara)?

A.Yellow cloth only

B.Blue sky

C.One who wears yellow garments (Lord Krishna/Vishnu)

D.Dying yellow fabric

Explanation: Bahubrihi Samas refers to a third external entity: 'পীত অম্বর যার' (He whose garment is yellow), referring specifically to Lord Krishna or Vishnu.

A.Adhikaran Karak (অধিকরণ কারক)

B.Sampradan Karak (সম্প্রদান কারক)

C.Karta Karak (কর্তা কারক)

D.Apadan Karak (অপাদান কারক)

Explanation: Apadan Karak denotes separation, origin, distance, or detachment (থেকে, হতে, চেয়ে). Separation from the tree ('গাছ থেকে') is Apadan Karak.

A.খ, ছ, ঠ, থ, ফ (Kha, Chha, Tha, Tha, Pha)

B.গ, জ, ড, দ, ব (Ga, Ja, Da, Da, Ba)

C.ঘ, ঝ, ঢ, ধ, ভ (Gha, Jha, Dha, Dha, Bha)

D.ক, চ, ট, ত, প (Ka, Cha, Ta, Ta, Pa)

Explanation: The 1st column of consonants in each varga (ক, চ, ট, ত, প) requires no vocal cord vibration (অঘোষ) and minimal breath burst (অল্পপ্রাণ).

A.করছিল (Karchhilo)

Odisha BSE HSC Bengali (FLB): Suggested Study Strategy

1Build a personal glossary of high-frequency Bengali grammar labels with one clear example each — objective items reward precise identification.

2Practise main-idea and inference questions on short unseen passages before attempting long creative writing.

3Memorise letter and essay structures as checklists (salutation, purpose paragraph, closing) even when using MCQs for structure knowledge.

4After MCQ revision, write full answers from official BSE Odisha model papers under exam timing — MCQs build recognition, not handwriting stamina or composition fluency.

5Track weak categories (grammar vs literature vs reading) and re-attempt only those items after reviewing explanations.
