Sample Odisha B.Ed Entrance Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Odisha B.Ed Entrance exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Identify the part of speech of the underlined word in the sentence: 'She walked 'slowly' into the classroom.'
A.Adjective
B.Adverb
C.Noun
D.Verb
Explanation: The word 'slowly' modifies the verb 'walked' by describing the manner in which she walked, making it an adverb. Adverbs typically describe how, when, where, or to what extent an action occurs.
2Fill in the blank with the appropriate preposition: 'The teacher was angry _______ the students for their misbehavior.'
A.at
B.with
C.on
D.for
Explanation: The preposition 'with' is used after the adjective 'angry' when referring to a person (e.g., angry with someone). 'Angry at' is usually used for situations, behaviors, or objects.
3Identify the word with the correct spelling from the options given below.
A.Accomodation
B.Acommodation
C.Accommodation
D.Accomodasion
Explanation: The correct spelling is 'Accommodation', which contains a double 'c' and a double 'm'. It is a common spelling error to omit one of these double consonants.
4Choose the word that is most nearly a SYNONYM for the word 'Benevolent'.
A.Malicious
B.Kind-hearted
C.Niggardly
D.Indifferent
Explanation: The word 'benevolent' means well-meaning, kindly, or characterized by expressing goodwill or friendly feelings. Therefore, 'Kind-hearted' is the closest synonym.
5Choose the word that is the most appropriate ANTONYM for 'Transient'.
A.Temporary
B.Permanent
C.Fleeting
D.Momentary
Explanation: The word 'transient' means lasting only for a short time or impermanent. Its opposite (antonym) is 'Permanent', which means lasting or intended to last indefinitely.
6Choose the correct indirect form of the given sentence: 'He said, "I am writing a letter."'
A.He said that he is writing a letter.
B.He said that he was writing a letter.
C.He said that I was writing a letter.
D.He said that he had been writing a letter.
Explanation: When converting direct speech into indirect speech, if the reporting verb is in the past tense ('said'), the present continuous tense ('am writing') changes to the past continuous tense ('was writing'), and the pronoun 'I' changes to 'he'.
7Choose the correct passive voice of the sentence: 'The students are playing football.'
A.Football was being played by the students.
B.Football is played by the students.
C.Football is being played by the students.
D.Football has been played by the students.
Explanation: The active sentence is in the present continuous tense ('are playing'). In the passive voice, present continuous is structured as: Subject + is/am/are + being + past participle (V3) of the verb. Thus, 'Football is being played by the students' is correct.
8Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb: 'Neither the teacher nor the students _______ present in the meeting.'
A.was
B.were
C.is
D.has been
Explanation: When subject components are joined by 'neither... nor', the verb agrees with the subject closest to it. Here, 'students' is plural and closest to the verb, so the plural verb 'were' is correct for past tense.
9Identify the grammatical error in the following sentence: 'Each of the girls have brought her own dictionary.'
A.Each of
B.the girls
C.have brought
D.her own dictionary
Explanation: The pronoun 'Each' is singular and requires a singular verb. Therefore, 'have brought' is incorrect and should be replaced by the singular 'has brought'.
10What is the meaning of the idiom 'To spill the beans'?
A.To drop something by accident
B.To reveal a secret prematurely
C.To waste valuable resources
D.To work hard without rewards
Explanation: The idiom 'spill the beans' is an informal English phrase that means to disclose confidential information or reveal a secret, often unintentionally or prematurely.
