1Under the 2021 Tajik orthography rules, how is the adjective formed from the prefix бо- and эҳтиром ('respect') written?
A.боэҳтиром
B.боеҳтиром
C.бо-эҳтиром
D.бо эҳтиром
Explanation: The rules state that when a word begins with э, the э is kept in derived words as well: тозаэҷод, соҳибэҳсон, боэҳтиром, боэътимод. Adjective prefixes such as ба-, бе-, бо- and но- are written together with the stem.
2In everyday speech, дастгоҳ and ростгӯ are pronounced [дасгоҳ] and [росгӯ]. Which phonetic phenomenon is this?
A.Assimilation (монандшавии овозҳо)
B.Elision of sounds (ихтисоршавии овозҳо)
C.Metathesis (ҷойивазкунии овозҳо)
D.Addition of sounds (афзудани овозҳо)
Explanation: The т between two consonants is dropped in pronunciation, while the spelling keeps it. NTC's 2026 sample tasks call this ихтисоршавии овозҳо, with examples such as якчанд, давлатманд and дӯстдор.
3Under the 2021 rules, how is the adjective 'homemade, domestic', formed from хона with the suffix -ӣ, written?
A.хонаӣ
B.хонайӣ
C.хонагӣ
D.хонаи
Explanation: When a word ends in а, the suffix -ӣ takes the form -гӣ (or -вӣ in some words): хонагӣ, бачагӣ, ҳамсоягӣ, барномавӣ. After a final о the suffix is plain -ӣ: доноӣ, зебоӣ.
4The 2021 rules include a note on the noun meaning 'carrying out, performing' an action. Which form do they prescribe?
A.иҷроиш
B.иҷрогӣ
C.иҷроият
D.иҷро
Explanation: The suffix -иш forms nouns from the present stems of verbs: варзиш, парвариш, хониш, дониш. A note in the rules states that using иҷро in the form иҷроиш is incorrect; the noun is simply иҷро.
5Under the 2021 rules, which spelling of the name of the Ministry of Culture is correct?
A.Вазорати фарҳанги Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон
B.вазорати фарҳанги Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон
C.Вазорати Фарҳанги Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон
D.Вазорати фарҳанги ҷумҳурии тоҷикистон
Explanation: In the names of state bodies, the first word and any proper names inside the name are capitalized: Вазорати фарҳанги Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон, Кумитаи андози назди Ҳукумати Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон.
6Under the 2021 rules, how is 'the 10th grade' written when the number is given as a Roman numeral?
A.синфи X-ум
B.синфи X
C.синфи 10
D.синфи X-юм
Explanation: After Roman numerals, neither the ordinal suffix -ум (-юм) nor the izofa is written: асри XX, синфи X, боби II. With Arabic figures the suffix is added with a hyphen: 5-ум, 12-ум, 2-юм.
7Under the 2021 rules, which phrase correctly writes the attribute formed from рӯ + ба + рӯ ('face-to-face')?
A.суҳбати рӯ ба рӯ
B.суҳбати рӯ-ба-рӯ
C.суҳбати рӯбарӯ
D.суҳбати рӯ-барӯ
Explanation: Adjectives formed by repeating a word with the linking elements -ба- or -дар- are written as one word: суҳбати рӯбарӯ, овораи дарбадар, такрори пайдарпай. Adverbs made of a repeated word and a preposition are written as separate words: рӯ ба рӯ нишастан, хона ба хона, сол ба сол.
8Under the 2021 rules, how is the emphatic particle ку written after рафтед, as in 'But you did go!'?
A.рафтедку
B.рафтед ку
C.рафтед, ку
D.рафтед-ку
Explanation: The particles -чӣ, -ку and -а are joined to the preceding word with a hyphen: равем-чӣ, рафтед-ку, наовардед-а. Most other particles, such as ҳатто, магар and танҳо, are written as separate words.
9Which pronoun is reflexive-emphatic (ҷонишини нафсӣ-таъкидӣ), as in «Ман худ ин корро анҷом додам»?
A.худ
B.ҳама
C.ҳеҷ кас
D.кадом
Explanation: худ (and хеш, худам, худат …) is the reflexive-emphatic pronoun; NTC's 2026 sample tasks ask students to find it as ҷонишини нафсӣ-таъкидӣ. Here it stresses that the speaker did the work personally.
10In «Ӯ ду сол боз дар Хуҷанд зиндагӣ мекунад», which word is used as a postposition meaning 'for (up to now)'?
A.ду
B.боз
C.дар
D.мекунад
Explanation: Postpositional words such as барин, боз, пеш and қабл follow the word they govern and, under the 2021 rules, are written separately from it: гул барин нозук, ду сол боз, як ҳафта пеш, панҷ сол қабл.
