1In Odissi vocal theory, Sangeeta is classically described as the combination of:
A.Melody, rhythm, and dance (gita, vadya, and nritya) as a unified performing art idea
B.Only percussion solos without pitch
C.Western harmony textbooks only
D.Stage lighting design only
Explanation: Classical definitions of sangeeta link song (gita), instrumental sound (vadya), and dance (nritya). Odissi vocal theory papers treat this as a foundational definition.

A.Produced (struck/vibrated) musical sound versus unstruck/inner sound in classical discussion
B.Only major versus minor chords in Western theory
C.Only tabla bols versus mardal bols
D.Only dance mudras versus abhinaya
Explanation: Paper-IV theory treats Nada in detail: Ahata (produced) versus Anahata (unstruck). This is core Year-2 general theory.
3Apa Nada and Sangitika Nada distinguish:
A.Non-musical noise/sound versus musically usable sound
B.Only fast versus slow tempo
C.Only fixed versus free composition forms
D.Only male versus female voice ranges
Explanation: Syllabus Paper IV Unit I pairs Apa Nada with Sangitika Nada: musical usability of sound, not tempo or gender.
4Classical discussion of Nada commonly highlights three qualities. Which triad is standard?
A.Pitch (height), intensity (volume), and timbre (tonal colour)
B.Only length, width, and depth of a drum shell
C.Only costume colour, stage size, and lighting
D.Only lyric language, poet name, and page number

A.The microtonal pitch unit finer than a full swara step, of which tradition counts twenty-two in an octave framework
B.A complete 16-matra tala only
C.A wind-instrument family name
D.The written stage-direction cue for dancers

6In swara classification, Chala Swara versus Achala Swara mainly contrasts:
A.Movable/alterable pitches versus fixed/immovable reference pitches (classically Sa and Pa as achala)
B.Only dance speeds versus song speeds
C.Only prose lyrics versus metrical lyrics
D.Only mardal bols versus vocal bols

B.Only correct versus incorrect tala thekas
C.Only major versus minor dance bhangis
D.Only written versus oral examination formats

B.Only the first and last matras of every tala
C.Only two names for the same tala theka
D.Only left-hand and right-hand mardal strokes
Explanation: Year-1 definitions include Badi, Sambadi, Anubadi, Bibadi, and Barjita swara—core raga pitch roles.
10Anubadi and Bibadi swaras in raga discussion typically mean:
A.Supporting/neutral pitches versus opposing/dissonant pitches relative to the raga’s main notes
B.Only even versus odd matra counts
C.Only rising versus falling dance steps
