  3. (3) (A) hi a dik lova, mahse (R) hi a dik.
  4. (4) (A) leh (R) te hi an dik a, (R) hi (A) hrilhfiahna dik ber a ni.

Solution.

CBSE answer: (1)

Answer: (1) (A) leh (R) te hi an dik a, (R) hi (A) hrilhfiahna dik ber a ni lo.

  1. (A) is true: reading is more than pronouncing words correctly; it is understanding.
  2. (R) is true in part: decoding (turning printed letters into words) is one part of reading.
  3. In the usual sense, decoding is the very skill (A) says reading goes beyond, so (R) does not explain (A).

Trap: (4) can also be defended, because the Mizo (R) glosses decoding as "thumal awmze neia lak chhuah" (drawing meaning out of words), which would explain (A); but decoding itself is word recognition, so (1) stands first.
