  2. (2) Ka (K) ka dei, hynrei ka (N) kam dei.
  3. (3) Ka (K) kam dei, hynrei ka (N) ka dei.
  4. (4) Baroh ar, ka (K) bad ka (N) ki dei, bad ka (N) ka dei ka jingbatai ïa ka (K).

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) Baroh ar, ka (K) bad ka (N) ki dei, hynrei ka (N) kam dei ka jingbatai ïa ka (K).

  1. (K) is true: reading is more than saying words correctly.
  2. (N) is true: "pharia jingmut" (drawing out meaning), glossed as decoding, is a real part of reading.
  3. (N) only says what reading is; it gives no reason why reading goes beyond correct pronunciation, so it does not explain (K).
  4. If "pharia jingmut" is read as making meaning, (4) can also be argued, but (1) is the safer reading.

Trap: (2) treats (N) as false; it would be false only if it said reading is ONLY decoding.
