A.Pantun

B.Syair

C.Gurindam

D.Mantera

Explanation: A pantun is the classic four-line Malay stanza with an a-b-a-b rhyme scheme. Lines 1–2 are the pembayang (evocative imagery) and lines 3–4 carry the maksud (the intended message or advice).

A.Syair

B.Pantun

C.Seloka

D.Talibun

Explanation: The syair is characterised by four-line stanzas rhyming a-a-a-a and by narrative or didactic continuity across stanzas, distinguishing it from the self-contained pantun.

3A two-line Malay traditional verse in which the second line completes, answers or moralises the first is called a:

A.Gurindam

B.Pantun

C.Teromba

D.Mantera

Explanation: Gurindam consists of paired lines (kuplet): the first poses a premise or condition and the second supplies the consequence, advice or completion — a hallmark of didactic Malay traditional verse.

A.Teknik penulisan

B.Fungsi

C.Watak dan perwatakan

D.Plot

Explanation: Under the refined 922 Semester 1 outline for karya tradisional, teknik penulisan is the subtajuk emphasised specifically for puisi study, while fungsi is emphasised for prosa tradisional.

5Which traditional prose category in Malay literature typically presents heroic deeds, battles and legendary warriors such as those found in hikayat epik?

A.Epik

B.Cerita rakyat humoristik sahaja

C.Drama moden

D.Sajak

Explanation: Epik (epic) prose in the traditional Malay corpus narrates heroic deeds, warfare and legendary figures — the hikayat epik tradition that Semester 1 kajian prosa tradisional covers.

6Ketatanegaraan prose in traditional Malay literature is best described as texts that:

A.Teach statecraft, rulership ethics and the duties of raja and rakyat

B.Record only animal fables for children's entertainment

C.Are exclusively oral mantera with no written form

D.Follow the modern cerpen short-story structure

Explanation: Prosa ketatanegaraan (e.g. mirrors-for-princes works such as Taj us-Salatin in the traditional corpus) instructs on governance, the ethics of rulership and the reciprocal duties of raja and rakyat.

7Which analysis lens asks what social, religious or cultural role a traditional work played for its original Malay community (sarwajagat / world view)?

A.Fungsi

B.Teknik penulisan

C.Klimaks

D.Staffing

Explanation: Fungsi examines the work's role and usefulness in its traditional social-religious world view — why the community produced and transmitted the text — a core prosa-tradisional lens in 922.

8Seloka in traditional Malay poetry is primarily associated with:

A.Satire, humour or mockery of human folly

B.Solemn Quranic exegesis only

C.Strict a-a-a-a narrative epic storytelling

D.Court protocol manuals for bendahara

Explanation: Seloka is the traditional Malay form associated with satire, wit and ridicule of foolish behaviour, often light in tone but pointed in social critique.

9Talibun differs from a standard pantun mainly because it:

A.Uses more than four lines per stanza while keeping a pantun-like imagery-to-meaning movement

B.Must always rhyme a-a-a-a like a syair

C.Is written only in Jawi and never performed orally

D.Is identical to gurindam couplets

Explanation: Talibun is an extended pantun-type form: stanzas longer than four lines that still move from evocative opening lines toward a concluding maksud, unlike the fixed four-line pantun.

10Mantera in the traditional Malay repertoire is best classified as:

A.Ritual or magical utterance believed to invoke spiritual power

B.A four-line love pantun for wedding guests

C.A modern free-verse protest sajak

D.A spreadsheet tool for literary project kawalan

Explanation: Mantera are formulaic ritual/magical utterances in the traditional oral repertoire, used in healing, protection or other spiritual practices — a recognised puisi tradisional type in the 922 outline.
