1In Urdu qawaid (grammar), what is an ism (اسم)?
A.A noun — a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea
B.A verb that expresses an action or state
C.An adjective that describes a quality
D.A preposition that shows relation between words
Explanation: Ism (اسم) is the Urdu term for noun: it names a person, place, thing, or abstract idea (e.g., kitab, larka, mohabbat). Fe'l is verb; sifat is adjective.
2What is a zameer (ضمیر) in Urdu grammar?
A.A noun that names a place only
B.A pronoun that stands in place of a noun
C.A tense marker attached only to verbs
D.A figure of speech that compares two things
Explanation: Zameer is a pronoun (e.g., main, tum, woh, yeh) used instead of repeating an ism. It is not a place-noun, tense marker, or figure of speech.
3In Urdu, sifat (صفت) primarily means which part of speech?
A.Verb — a word that shows action
B.Conjunction — a word that joins clauses
C.Adjective — a word that describes a quality of a noun
D.Interjection — an exclamation
Explanation: Sifat is an adjective describing quality, quantity, or relation of an ism (e.g., khoobsoorat, bada, pehla).
4What does fe'l (فعل) refer to in Urdu qawaid?
A.A proper name of a city only
B.The rhyme word at the end of a ghazal line
C.A prose short-story genre
D.A verb expressing action, occurrence, or state
Explanation: Fe'l is the verb class (e.g., likhna, jana, hona). Qafiya is rhyme; afsana is a prose genre.
5In Urdu, ism-e-marafa (اسم معرفہ) typically refers to:
A.A definite / proper or known noun (a specific named entity)
B.Any verb in the past tense
C.An anonymous pronoun without antecedent
D.A free-verse poem without metre
Explanation: Ism-e-marafa is a definite/known noun (often proper names or clearly identified referents), contrasted with ism-e-nakra (indefinite/common).
6What is tashbih (تشبیہ) in Urdu sanaye-o-badaye?
A.A pure contradiction without any comparison
B.A simile — explicit comparison using words like 'like' or 'as' (misal/jaise)
C.The closing couplet of a ghazal only
D.A long narrative poem in rhyming couplets
Explanation: Tashbih is simile: an explicit comparison between two things using a particle of comparison (e.g., jaise, misal). Istiara is metaphor without 'like'; masnavi is a narrative form.
7What is istiara (استعارہ)?
A.A rhyme scheme used only in rubai
B.A grammatical case ending on nouns
C.A metaphor — comparison by identifying one thing as another without 'like/as'
D.A type of official letter format
Explanation: Istiara is metaphor: the comparison is implied by substitution/identity rather than an explicit 'like' word. Tashbih keeps the comparison particle.
8In a ghazal, the matla (مطلع) is:
A.The poet’s pen-name only, without a couplet
B.Any unrhymed free-verse line
C.The prose preface printed before a diwan
D.The opening couplet, where both lines typically share the rhyme/refrain pattern
Explanation: Matla is the first sher (couplet) of a ghazal; both misras (hemistichs) usually carry qafiya and radeef.
9What is the maqta (مقطع) in a ghazal?
A.The closing couplet, often containing the poet’s takhallus (pen-name)
B.The first word of every line only
C.A prose paragraph between stanzas
D.An unrhymed chorus repeated after each stanza
Explanation: Maqta is the final sher of a ghazal and classically includes the poet’s takhallus (e.g., Ghalib, Mir).
10In ghazal craft, qafiya (قافیہ) refers to:
A.The fixed repeated word or phrase at the absolute end of each sher
B.The rhyming sound/word pattern that changes but rhymes before the radeef
C.The poet’s biography printed in footnotes
D.The number of stanzas required by law
Explanation: Qafiya is the rhyme element; radeef is the identical repeated word/phrase after the qafiya (when present).
