Passage

Jingbthah : Pule ïa kane ka poim harum bad sa jubab ïa ki jingkylli (naduh 100 haduh 105) da kaba jied ïa ka jubab kaba dei eh.

Q105

Balei ba u myllung u pyndonkam bunsien ïa ka kyntien ‘Samoi’ ha ka poim ?

  1. (1) Ban pyni ïa ka jingïapher ki aïom jong ka snem
  2. (2) Ban pyni kum ka shin ïa ka por jong ka jingshah banbeiñ ha ki khraw borCorrect answer
  3. (3) Ban pyni malu mala ïa ka jingithiang ka aïom pyrem
  4. (4) Ban ïai kdew halor ka jinglong ba ïaiban jong ka suiñbneng

Solution.

CBSE answer: (2)

Answer: (2) Ban pyni kum ka shin ïa ka por jong ka jingshah banbeiñ ha ki khraw bor (to show symbolically the time when the powerful are challenged)

  1. 'Samoi' (season, time) is repeated to frame a special time, not a weather report.
  2. In that time the wind tears apart false words and thoughts rise towards the powerful (ki khraw bor).
  3. So the season is a symbol of a time of challenge to those in power.

Trap: (1) and (3) read the season literally; the poem says nothing about changing seasons of the year or the clean air of spring.
