Q108

To assess whether students can use functional exponents for buying something in a shop, it would be appropriate for students to ;

  1. (1) Write about their food preferences.
  2. (2) Read a short story between shopkeeper and customers.
  3. (3) Draw the scene between shopkeeper and customers.
  4. (4) Write short dialogue between shopkeeper and customers.Correct answer

Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) Write short dialogue between shopkeeper and customers.

  1. Functional exponents are the actual phrases used for a purpose, such as "How much is this?" or "I'd like two kilos, please."
  2. Writing a shop dialogue makes students produce these phrases themselves.
  3. Reading a story only tests understanding, and drawing shows no language use.

Trap: (2) reading tests whether students recognise the phrases, not whether they can use them.
