Try these sample questions to review concepts for the AP SSC Odia (First Language) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In Odia grammar (ବ୍ୟାକରଣ), what does ସନ୍ଧି (sandhi) primarily describe?
A.Counting syllables for a fixed poetic metre only
B.Classifying a word only as masculine or feminine gender
C.Translating an English sentence into Odia
D.Joining of two word-forms at the boundary so sounds combine or change
Explanation: Sandhi (ସନ୍ଧି) is the phonological joining of adjacent sounds when two forms meet, often changing vowels or consonants at the boundary. It is a core Class 10 Odia grammar topic tested through identification and sandhi-viccheda (splitting).
2Which major type of sandhi involves the combination of two vowels (ସ୍ୱର)?
A.ସମାସ ସନ୍ଧି (samasa sandhi — not a standard sandhi class)
B.ବିସର୍ଗ ସନ୍ଧି (bisarga sandhi)
C.ସ୍ୱର ସନ୍ଧି (swara sandhi)
D.ବ୍ୟଞ୍ଜନ ସନ୍ଧି (byanjan sandhi)
Explanation: Swara sandhi (ସ୍ୱର ସନ୍ଧି) covers vowel–vowel contact changes. Standard school grammar groups external sandhi into swara, byanjan (consonant), and bisarga types.
3What is ବ୍ୟଞ୍ଜନ ସନ୍ଧି (byanjan / vyanjana sandhi)?
A.Only the joining of two identical long vowels
B.The rule for placing a full stop in Odia script
C.A type of poetic metaphor
D.Sandhi changes involving consonants (ବ୍ୟଞ୍ଜନ) at word boundaries
Explanation: Byanjan (vyanjana) sandhi covers consonant-involved combinations when forms meet. It is one of the three commonly taught sandhi classes alongside swara and bisarga sandhi.
4In Odia grammar, ସମାସ (samasa) primarily means:
A.Changing present tense to past tense only
B.Listing synonyms of a single word
C.Forming a compound word by combining two or more meaningful units into one expression
D.Marking stress on the last syllable of a verse
Explanation: Samasa (ସମାସ) is compound formation: two (or more) padas combine into a single compound with a unified meaning. Students identify samasa type and often expand (vigraha) the compound.
5Which Odia term names the grammatical ‘case role’ of a noun phrase toward the verb (agent, object, instrument, etc.)?
A.ଛନ୍ଦ (chhanda)
B.ଅଳଙ୍କାର (alankara)
C.ଉପମା (upama) only
D.କାରକ (karaka)
Explanation: Karaka (କାରକ) is the semantic-syntactic role a noun plays relative to the action (karta, karma, karana, and so on). Vibhakti endings often mark those roles.
6What does ବିଭକ୍ତି (vibhakti) refer to in Odia grammar?
A.Only the meaning of an entire essay paragraph
B.The title of a poetry anthology
C.A list of proverbs used in letters
D.Case endings/inflections that mark a noun’s grammatical relation
Explanation: Vibhakti (ବିଭକ୍ତି) are the case endings (prathama, dwitiya, etc.) that mark how a noun relates in the sentence. Karaka describes the role; vibhakti is the morphological marker often linked to it.
7In traditional Odia grammar, which karaka names the doer / agent of the action?
A.କରଣ (karana)
B.କର୍ମ (karma)
C.କର୍ତ୍ତା (karta)
D.ଅଧିକରଣ (adhikarana)
Explanation: Karta (କର୍ତ୍ତା) is the agent/doer karaka. Karma is typically the object, karana the instrument, and adhikarana the location/time locus of the action.
8Which karaka typically names the object / patient that undergoes the action?
A.କର୍ତ୍ତା (karta)
B.ଅପାଦାନ (apadana)
C.କର୍ମ (karma)
D.ସମ୍ପ୍ରଦାନ (sampradana)
Explanation: Karma (କର୍ମ) is the object/patient karaka — what is done, seen, given, etc. Sampradana is the recipient; apadana is the source of separation.
9What is ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ (bisheshya) in Odia parts of speech?
A.A noun / substantive that can be qualified by an adjective
B.Only a conjunction joining clauses
C.Only a finite verb form
D.Only a punctuation mark
Explanation: Bisheshya (ବିଶେଷ୍ୟ) is the noun/substantive. Bisheshana (ବିଶେଷଣ) qualifies it; kriya (କ୍ରିୟା) is the verb.
10What is ବିଶେଷଣ (bisheshana) in Odia grammar?
A.A type of sandhi involving visarga only
B.A name for free verse poetry
C.An adjective or qualifier that describes a bisheshya (noun)
D.The main finite verb of every sentence
Explanation: Bisheshana (ବିଶେଷଣ) qualifies a bisheshya — roughly an adjective or adjectival qualifier. Agreement in gender/number may apply depending on the construction.

About the AP SSC Odia (First Language) Exam

AP SSC First Language Odia is the Class 10 public examination Odia paper conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Andhra Pradesh (BSEAP). Official model papers use codes 01'O' and 02'O'. It is a written, Odia-medium language paper of about 3 hours 15 minutes for 100 marks, assessing reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary (ବ୍ୟାକରଣ), literature (prose and poetry), and creative expression/writing (ରଚନା) linked to the SCERT Andhra Pradesh Class 10 Odia syllabus. The official assessment is not a pure multiple-choice test and is not delivered in English. This free bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of Odia language knowledge for 2026 revision — not an official translation, not a full simulation of handwritten Odia writing tasks, and not a reprint of board past papers.

AP SSC Odia (First Language): Suggested Study Strategy

1Master sandhi and samasa identification with Odia examples until you can classify them quickly — they appear repeatedly in grammar sections.
2Keep a personal list of karaka-vibhakti pairs and alankara terms with one clear Odia example each; literature and grammar questions reward precise labels.
3Practise reading textbook and unseen prose for main idea, inference, and reference before attempting creative writing.
4Memorise letter and essay structures (salutation, body organisation, closing) as checklists even when using MCQs for structure knowledge.
5After MCQ revision, write full answers from official BSEAP 01'O'/02'O' model papers under exam timing in Odia — MCQs build recognition, not handwriting stamina or Odia composition fluency.
