- Question 17 Grammar
பொருந்தாச் சொல்லைக் கண்டறிக.
- மோனை
- எதுகை
- இசைவு

Answer: C · இசைவு
மோனை, எதுகை, இயைபு — மூன்றும் தமிழ் யாப்பின் தொடை வகைகள் (சொல் ஒலியின் சேர்க்கை). 'இசைவு' என்பது தொடை வகையல்ல; எனவே பொருந்தாச் சொல் C.

- செப்பல் ஓசை
- துள்ளல் ஓசை
- அகவல் ஓசை

Answer: D · ஓங்கல் ஓசை
தமிழ் பா இலக்கணத்தில் நான்கு வகை ஓசைகள் உண்டு — செப்பல் (வெண்பா), அகவல் (ஆசிரியப்பா), துள்ளல் (கலிப்பா), தூங்கல் (வஞ்சிப்பா). 'ஓங்கல்' என்பது ஓசை வகையில் இல்லை — எனவே பொருந்தாத சொல் D.
