Sample ЦВЭ Component A Cluster 1 Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the ЦВЭ Component A Cluster 1 exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In literary Tajik, which row consists only of voiced consonants (ҳамсадоҳои ҷарангдор)?
A.[б], [г], [д], [з], [в]
B.[п], [к], [т], [с], [ф]
C.[б], [п], [г], [к], [д]
D.[с], [ш], [х], [ч], [т]
Explanation: [б], [г], [д], [з] and [в] are all voiced consonants: they are pronounced with voice as well as noise, and each pairs with a voiceless counterpart — [б]/[п], [г]/[к], [д]/[т], [з]/[с], [в]/[ф].
2Under the Tajik orthography rules approved by the Government in 2021 (Қоидаҳои имлои забони тоҷикӣ), in which row are all the words correctly spelled with the letter ӯ?
A.нӯҳ, мӯҳр, гӯҳар, кӯҳна
B.кӯҳ, рӯз, дӯст, гурӯҳ
C.шӯъла, мӯъмин, сӯҳбат, мӯҳтарам
D.бӯзург, сӯрх, ӯмед, бӯлбул
Explanation: The rules write ӯ for the stable long vowel (кӯҳ, рӯз, гӯш, дӯст), in the second syllable of words such as фурӯғ, дурӯғ and гурӯҳ, and in words that historically had й in the root (рӯй, сӯй, мӯй). Every word in this row falls under one of these cases.
3Under current Tajik orthography, in which row does every word correctly contain the letter ъ (аломати сакта)?
A.муаллим, соат, сурат, табиат
B.мавзуъ, тулуъ, оғоз, поён
C.баъзе, масъала, ҷуръат, таъриф
D.натиҷа, ҷавоб, навишт, гуфтор
Explanation: баъзе, масъала, ҷуръат and таъриф are Arabic loanwords in which ъ stands for the original ayn or hamza. The orthography rules list words of this type (аъло, баъзе, масъала, таърих) as written with ъ inside the word.
4Which row gives synonyms (муродифҳо) of the word «донишманд» (a learned person, scholar)?
A.далер, шуҷоъ, боғайрат, қаҳрамон
B.ғамгин, маҳзун, дилтанг, пажмурда
C.саховатпеша, ҷавонмард, дасткушод, карим
D.олим, фозил, хирадманд, доно
Explanation: олим, фозил, хирадманд and доно all denote a learned or wise person, so they are synonyms of донишманд.
5Which row of suffixes forms nouns of place (исми макон) in Tajik?
A.-зор, -стон, -гоҳ, -када
B.-гар, -гор, -чӣ, -бон
C.-ӣ, -гӣ, -ият, -вор
D.-она, -вор, -сон, -осо
Explanation: -зор (гулзор), -стон (гулистон), -гоҳ (донишгоҳ) and -када (оташкада) are productive suffixes that form nouns naming a place.
6Which row lists definitive pronouns (ҷонишинҳои таъинӣ)?
A.ман, ту, вай, мо, шумо, онҳо
B.ҳар, ҳама, ҳар кас, ҳар як, тамоми
C.ин, он, ҳамин, ҳамон, инҳо
D.кӣ?, чӣ?, кадом?, чанд?
Explanation: ҳар, ҳама, ҳар кас, ҳар як and тамоми are definitive pronouns: they refer to every member or the whole of a set. NTC's sample tasks treat худ, хеш and хештан separately, as reflexive-emphatic pronouns (нафсӣ-таъкидӣ).
7In the sentence «Мо ба сӯйи донишгоҳ рафта истодаем», which tense is the verb?
A.замони гузаштаи дур (pluperfect)
B.замони оянда (future)
C.замони ҳозираи давомдор (present continuous)
D.замони гузаштаи ҳикоягӣ (past imperfect)
Explanation: рафта истодаем combines the past participle рафта with the auxiliary истодан. This analytic form is the present continuous: it shows an action in progress at the moment of speaking.
8In the sentence «Офтоби дурахшон қуллаҳои барфпӯшро гарм мекард», which words are attributes (муайянкунандаҳо)?
A.«қуллаҳоро» and «гарм мекард»
B.only «офтоб»
C.«қуллаҳо» and «офтоб»
D.«дурахшон» and «барфпӯш»
Explanation: дурахшон (shining) describes the subject офтоб and барфпӯш (snow-covered) describes the object қуллаҳо. Both are joined to their nouns by the izofa and answer the question «чӣ гуна?», so they are attributes.
9Which sentence is a compound sentence (ҷумлаи мураккаби пайваст) whose clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction?
A.Борон бозистод ва насими форами баҳорӣ вазидан гирифт.
B.Агар дониш омӯзӣ, дар ҳаёт ҳатман комёб мегардӣ.
C.Муаллим ба донишҷӯён гуфт, ки фардо озмоиш баргузор мешавад.
D.Ҳарчанд ҳаво сард буд, сайёҳон роҳи худро идома доданд.
Explanation: «Борон бозистод ва насими форами баҳорӣ вазидан гирифт» consists of two independent clauses of equal rank joined by the coordinating conjunction ва, which makes it a compound sentence.
10Which option contains only true antonym pairs (антонимҳо)?
A.дӯст — рафиқ, баланд — қоматбаланд
B.равшанӣ — торикӣ, фароз — нишеб
C.шаб — сардӣ, офтоб — гармӣ
D.ширин — болаззат, калон — бузург
Explanation: равшанӣ (light) — торикӣ (darkness) and фароз (rise) — нишеб (descent) are words of opposite meaning, so both pairs are antonyms.
