Q136

“Understands and uses new words” can be a rubric for assessing :

  1. (1) Pronunciation
  2. (2) Grammar
  3. (3) Fluency
  4. (4) VocabularyCorrect answer

Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) Vocabulary

  1. A rubric lists what a teacher looks for in a learner's work.
  2. 'Understands and uses new words' is directly about knowing word meanings and using words in context.
  3. That is the core of vocabulary.

Trap: (3) Fluency is about smooth, natural flow of speech or reading, not about learning new words.
