Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Maharashtra SSC Telugu L2/L3 (MSBSHSE) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In Telugu grammar (వ్యాకరణం) at SSC second/third-language level, what does విభక్తి primarily refer to?
A.Case endings that mark grammatical roles of nouns and pronouns
B.Only the title page of a textbook
C.Only English punctuation marks
D.A type of board exam hall ticket only
Explanation: విభక్తి are case endings (such as -కి, -తో, -లో, -ని) that show how a noun or pronoun relates to the rest of the sentence. Second/third-language Telugu expects recognition of common endings and their roles.
2Which ending most clearly marks the locative sense 'in / at / inside' in common SSC Telugu usage?
A.-నుంచి (from)
B.-తో (with / by means of)
C.-కి (to / for)
D.-లో (in / at / inside)
Explanation: The locative ending -లో expresses location (ఇంట్లో = in the house; పాఠశాలలో = at school). Distinguish it from dative -కి, instrumental -తో, and ablative -నుంచి.
3In the sentence 'రాము పుస్తకం చదువుతున్నాడు', the form చదువుతున్నాడు best indicates:
A.An imperative command to the listener
B.A completed past action only with no continuous sense
C.A continuous/progressive present action (is reading)
D.A future plan written as an advertisement
Explanation: The -తున్నాడు pattern marks progressive/continuous present for a masculine singular subject: he is reading. SSC L2/L3 grammar tests tense-aspect recognition on high-frequency verbs.
4Which pair correctly matches Telugu gender labels used in school grammar?
A.పుంలింగం = only English nouns; స్త్రీలింగం = only Marathi nouns
B.పుంలింగం = masculine; స్త్రీలింగం = feminine; నపుంసకలింగం = neuter
C.పుంలింగం = only past tense; స్త్రీలింగం = only future tense
D.పుంలింగం = only plural; స్త్రీలింగం = only singular
Explanation: Telugu school grammar uses పుంలింగం (masculine), స్త్రీలింగం (feminine), and నపుంసకలింగం (neuter). Verb agreement often reflects gender and number of the subject.
5The Telugu plural marker commonly seen on many nouns is:
A.Forms such as -లు / -ళు depending on the noun class
B.Only capital letters at the start of a sentence
C.Only a question mark at the end of a sentence
D.Only the English -s ending glued to every word
Explanation: Many Telugu nouns form plurals with -లు / -ళు (e.g., పుస్తకాలు, పిల్లలు). L2/L3 students should recognise plural morphology and matching verb agreement.
6Which sentence type label means a simple sentence with one main clause idea (సామాన్య వాక్యం)?
A.Only a formal government circular
B.Only a multi-clause complex sentence with relative embedding
C.Only a poem written in classical metre
D.A simple sentence expressing one main idea without clause combining
Explanation: సామాన్య వాక్యం is a simple sentence. SSC grammar contrasts it with complex/combined patterns (సంశ్లిష్ట / సంయుక్త) at an introductory second/third-language level.
7In Telugu, the postposition -తో most often marks:
A.Only negation of a sentence
B.Only future tense on verbs
C.Instrument or accompaniment (with / by means of)
D.Only the title of a prose lesson
Explanation: -తో commonly marks instrument (కత్తితో = with a knife) or accompaniment (స్నేహితునితో = with a friend). It is a high-frequency vibhakti ending at L2/L3.
8Which best describes సమాసం (samasa) for SSC second/third-language awareness?
A.Only the board's fee receipt number
B.A compound in which word elements join to form a single compound meaning unit
C.Only the oral exam seating chart
D.Only English article usage (a/an/the)
Explanation: సమాసం is compounding of word elements into one unit. At L2/L3, students meet introductory types (e.g., ద్వంద్వ, తత్పురుష awareness) rather than exhaustive HSC-level analysis.
9The dative/goal sense 'to / for' is most often marked by which ending?
A.-కి / -కు
B.-పై only as a verb root
C.-లో
D.-తో
Explanation: -కి / -కు commonly mark dative/goal (అమ్మకి = to mother; పాఠశాలకు = to school).
10Which form best fits a polite imperative request in school Telugu?
A.Only past-tense చదివాడు as a command
B.Only an English 'ing' form pasted into Telugu
C.Only silent staring without any verb
D.చదవండి (please read) — respectful/plural-polite command
Explanation: చదవండి is a polite/plural imperative used for respectful requests to teachers, elders, or formal notices.

About the Maharashtra SSC Telugu L2/L3 (MSBSHSE) Exam

Maharashtra SSC Telugu second/third language is the Class 10 Secondary Telugu language paper (subject code 22 on MSBSHSE SSC general subject codes) under the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE), Pune. It assesses second/third-language Telugu skills — reading comprehension, applied grammar (విభక్తి, agreement, tense, sentence types, sandhi awareness), vocabulary and idioms, introductory literary response/devices, error awareness, and composition formats (letter, notice, essay, message/report as taught) — as set out in the official syllabus and school schemes. The official assessment is a mixed written Telugu paper commonly within a 100-mark subject framework (with oral/internal components as notified) — not pure MCQ. Fees are as notified by MSBSHSE through schools (mahahsscboard.in; mahahsscboard.org/sscsub.htm). Pass marks are commonly described as about 35% per subject. The 100 questions on this page are a free English-language multiple-choice study adaptation with English explanations and Telugu terms retained where the skill is tested; they are not a full simulation of the official mixed paper or oral components, and do not replace official Telugu writing practice.

Maharashtra SSC Telugu L2/L3 (MSBSHSE): Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill high-frequency vibhakti endings (-కి, -లో, -తో, -ని) daily until recognition is automatic.
2Practise subject–verb agreement with gender/number swaps (వచ్చాడు / వచ్చింది / వచ్చారు) as timed micro-drills.
3For sandhi, always recover split ↔ join forms and name the rule before selecting an MCQ option.
4Build a personal synonym/antonym/proverb list from your textbook and revise it weekly.
5Memorise letter, notice, and essay skeletons, then write one timed Telugu piece weekly — MCQs are not a writing-task substitute.
6When reading short passages, mark main idea first, then answer detail and inference with textual evidence.
7Use an error checklist: agreement, vibhakti, tense, register, word choice.
8Prepare oral/internal tasks as notified by your school separately from this MCQ bank, and confirm code 22 on your hall ticket.
