Q147

Ka drill ‘minimal pair’ ka lah ban long ka buit ban kyntiew bad pynbha ïa ka jinglah ha

  1. (1) Ki thup kyntien (vocabulary)Correct answer
  2. (2) Ka rukom kynnoh (pronunciation)
  3. (3) Ka jingpule sngewthuh (reading comprehension)
  4. (4) Ka kramar

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) Ki thup kyntien (vocabulary)

  1. In a minimal pair, two words differ by only one sound, such as ship and sheep.
  2. That one sound changes the word and its meaning, so the drill makes children notice how words differ, which supports vocabulary.
Our note

Note: The standard use of minimal-pair drills is to train sound contrast, so (2) "Ka rukom kynnoh" (pronunciation) is the better answer.
