Central Board Of Secondary Education [CBSE] — Answer key errors in term1 English board paper

Sir/ Ma'am

With due respect, I would like to inform you that many questions which came in the 10th class term1 English board question paper whose code no. is 002/2/4, series no. is JSK/2 and set no. is 4 were unclear and some questions ' answer key is also wrong declared in the official sites.
I am here mentioning one question which can have more than one option as correct due to its ambiguity.

If you may not understand this so to make my issue understandable to you I would like to cite one example.

Let us assume that once there were two friends, Ramesh and Ganesh . Due to some misconfusion, Ramesh says to Ganesh, " A lady sweeper who comes to our house has a very happy family. They have all the necessities and their children are studying in a prestigious school ". Ramesh had heard wrong from his mother. Actually, his mother had told him about their one of their neighbors but since their names were same he got into misunderstanding. The lady sweeper who came to his house did not have a happy family.

Now, if a question is asked from the above extract as :
Que 1. A lady sweeper who comes to our house has a very happy family .
The statement is:
A) A logical conclusion
B) A piece of good news
C) Ironical
D) A pleasant surprise

I would let the readers to first guess its answer as my efforts would then make a difference.

You may see that the question has a statement which is a piece of good news . It is also ironical in context with that the lady sweeper actually did not have a very happy family in the extract. It 's answer cannot be a logical conclusion and a pleasant surprise.
But if the question is like this:

Que1. " A lady sweeper who comes to our house has a very happy family", said by Ramesh in misunderstanding .
The above statement is:
(A) A Logical conclusion
(B) A piece of good news
(C) Ironical
(D) A pleasant surprise

Its answer cannot be a piece of good news because it is clearly stated that this statement was said in confusion . So, its answer is ironical.

Hence, I conclude with my above example that someone would have understood what I tried to do.

With this, I am mentioning Que 16. o[censored]nseen passage II of Section A of the English term1 question paper.
Que 16. Hazel grouse and ground squirrel are classified as species of least concern.
The statement is:
(A) A logical conclusion
(B) A piece of good news
( C) ironical
(D) a pleasant surprise

Its answer cannot be one of the above options. The first three options suite best as its answer . If someone creates this Que, he/she would not think of clearly mentioning the question but when he/she reads it first time would think that this question in accordance to the options is not clearly mentioned.
Try to read it as you read it first time. So, you will find that it is a logical conclusion as well as a piece of good news.
But if we think that in the passage hazel grouse and ground squirrel are studied as the species of most concern then it could be correct to write its answer also as (c) ironical.
So this unclear question 16 has three options correct : (A), (B) and (C).

If the question was :
Que 16.The hazel grouse and ground squirrel were found to be the most at risk of local extinction but are classified as species of Least Concern Red list of Threatened Species.

The statement is:
(A) An ironical logical conclusion
(B) A piece of good news
(C) Ironical only
(D) A pleasant surprise

Now here, the correct answer is only (A) An ironical logical conclusion.
The options ( B) cannot be correct because the above statement is not a piece of good news. The option (C) is also incorrect because the above statement is not only ironical but also a logical conclusion. The option ( D) is also incorrect because the above statement is not a pleasant surprise.

●So, the correct answers of Que 16. given in the question paper are (A), (B) and ( C) . If only (C) is accepted as correct it would mean the person has hal[censored]nderstood the question.

《《 《 It would not eradicate the "mugging up " conditions in India but conversely, it will increase the hal[censored]se of mind and mugging up of the such type questions' answer. 》》》

Hope my complaint will not go waste. It will be listened by the related experts . I would be highly grateful for acknowledging my efforts.

Thanking You

Yours Faithfully
