Directions: The following passage is followed by questions based on its contents. Choose the best answer and encircle it.

Studies of the factors governing reading devel-opment in young children have achieved remark-able degree of consensus over the past two decades. This consensus concerns the casual role of phono-logical skills in young children’s reading progress. Children, who have good phonological skills, or good ‘phonological awareness’, become good read-ers and good spellers. Children with poor phono-logical skills progress more poorly. In particular, those who have a specifi c phonological defi cit are likely to be classifi ed as dyslexic by the time that they are 9 or 10 years old.

Phonological skills in young children can be measured at a number of diff erent levels. The term phonological awareness is a global one, and refers to a defi cit in recognizing smaller units of sound within spoken words. Development work has shown that this defi cit can be at the level of syllables, of onsets and rimes, or of phonemes. For example, a 4-year old child might have diffi culty in recogniz-ing that a word like valentine has three syllables, suggesting a lack of syllabic awareness. A 5-year old might have diffi culty in recognizing that the odd word out in the set of words fan, cat, hat, mat is fan. This task requires an awareness of the sub-syllabic units of the onset and the rime. The onset corre-sponds to any initial consonants in a syllable, and the rime corresponds to the vowel and to any fol-lowing consonants. Rimes correspond to rhyme in single-syllable words, and so the rime in fan diff ers from the rime in cat, hat and mat. In longer words, rime and rhyme may diff er. The onsets in val: en: tine are /v/and/t/, and the rimes correspond to the spelling patterns ‘al’, ‘en’, and ‘ine’.

A 6-year old might have diffi culty in recognizing that plea and pray begin with the same initial sound. This is a phonemic judgement. Although the initial phoneme /P/ is shared between the two words, in plea it is part of the onset ‘pl’, and in pray it is part of the onset ‘pr’. Until children can segment the onset (or the rime), such phonemic judgements are diffi cult for them to make. In fact, a recent survey of diff erent developmental studies has shown that the diff erent levels of phonological awareness appear to emerge sequentially. The awareness of syllables, onsets, and rimes appears to emerge at around the ages of 3 and 4, long before most children go to school. The awareness of phonemes, on the other hand, usually emerges at around the age of 5 or 6, when children have been taught to read for about a year. An awareness of onsets and rimes thus appears to be a precursor of reading, whereas an awareness of phonemes at every serial position in a word, only appears to develop as reading is taught. The onset-rime and phonemic levels of phonological structure, however, are not distinct. Many onsets in English are single phonemes, and so are some rimes (e.g, sea, go, zoo).

The early availability of onsets and rimes is supported by studies that have compared the development of phonological awareness of onsets, rimes and phonemes in the same subjects using the same phonological awareness tasks. For example, a study by Treiman and Zudowski used a same/diff erent judgment task based on the beginning or the end sound of words. In the beginning sound task, the words either began with the same onset, as in plea and plank, or shared only the initial phoneme, as in plea and pray. In the end sound task, the words either shared the entire rime, as in spit and wit, or shared only the fi nal phoneme, as in rat and wit.

B.118 Practice Papers

Treiman and Zudowski showed that 4 and 5 year old children found the onset-rime version of the same/diff erent task signifi cantly easier than the version based on phonemes. Only the 6-year old, who had been learning to read for about a year, were able to perform both versions of the tasks with equal levels of success.

1. From the following statements, pick out the true statement according to the passage.(a) A mono-syllabic word can have only one

onset.(b) A mono-syllabic word can have only one

rhyme but more than one rime.(c) A mono-syllabic word can have only one

phoneme.(d) All of the above.

2. Which one of the following is likely to emerge last in the cognitive development of a child?(a) Rhyme (b) Rime(c) Onset (d) Phoneme

3. A phonological defi cit in which of the follow-ing is likely to be classifi ed as dyslexia?(a) Phonemic judgement(b) Onset judgement(c) Rime judgement(d) Any one or more of the above

4. The Treiman and Zudowski experiment found evidence to support the following:(a) At age 6, reading instruction helps chil-

dren perform both, the same-diff erent judgment task.

(b) The development of onset-rime aware-ness precedes the development of an awareness of phonemes.

(c) At age 4-5, children fi nd the onset-rime version of the same/diff erent task signifi -cantly easier.

(d) The development of onset-time aware-ness is a necessary and suffi cient condi-tion for the development of an awareness of phonemes.

5. The single-syllable words Rhyme and Rime are constituted by the exact same set ofI. rime(s) II. onset(s)III. rhyme(s) IV. phoneme(s)(a) I, II (b) I, III(c) I, II, III (d) II, III, IV

LEGAL AWARENESS/LEGAL REASONING

91. Principle: Contractual liability is completely irrelevant to the existence of liability in tort (civil wrong).Facts: X purchased a bottle of ginger beer from a retailer. As she consumed more than 3/4 of the contents of the bottle, she found a decomposed remains of a snail in the bottle. After seeing the remains of a snail, she fell sick on the thought of what she consumed. She sued the manufacturer of the beer for negligence, though there is no contractual duty on the part of the manufacturer.(a) X cannot sue the manufacturer

for negligence in the absence of a contract.

(b) X cannot sue the retailer.(c) X can sue the manufacturer as he had

duty to take care to see that bottles did not contain any other substance than the beer and hence liable to have broken that duty.

(d) None of the above. 92. Principle: A master will be liable for the

negligent acts of his servant in the course of employment.Situation: Samuel was a driver employed by Kohinoor Company to drive their luxury buses during the night. Mohammed has been assistant over a period of time. One night, when he was driving he felt terribly sleepy and he handed over the steering wheel to Mohammed and dozed off . The bus hit against a car coming from the opposite side due to the inexperience of Mohammed. The owner of the car fi led a suit against Kohinoor.(a) Kohinoor will be liable, because it was

improper on the part of Samuel to ask Mohammed to drive.

(b) Kohinoor will not be liable to pay, because Samuel was not supposed to ask Mohammed to drive.

(c) Kohinoor will be liable, because Mohammed was also an employee of Kohinoor.

(d) Kohinoor will not be liable because Mohammed was not acting in the course of his employment.

93. Principle: The standard to determine whether a person has been guilty of negligence is the standard of care which, in the given cir-cumstances, a reasonable man could have foreseen.Facts: An agricultural university constructed 200 houses for its employees in its premises. Two huge bore wells were sunk and motors were installed. They did not cover the pump rooms properly. A child, six years old, from one of the quarters was playing near the pumphouse. On hearing the noise of the pump, she was curious to see the motor. She touched the motor that was not covered properly and three of her fi ngers were cut.(a) The parents of the child cannot sue the

university on any grounds.(b) In spite of the child’s act, her parents

can successfully sue the university for damages.

(c) The university can be made liable only to the extent of the cost of treatment as the child also contributed to the incident.

(d) None of the above. 94. Principles:

1. A master is liable for the act of his servants/employees.

2. The husband or wife is not responsible for any compensation of wrong on each other.

Situation: H is a manager of a hotel belong-ing to X. Because of the negligence of H, a folding chair fell from the fi rst fl oor to the ground fl oor injuring the receptionist of the hotel, named W who is the wife of H. W asks for compensation from X and H.(a) Both X and H are responsible to compen-

sate W.(b) X is only responsible to compensate W.(c) H is only responsible to compensate W.(d) No one is responsible to compensate W.

95. Principle: A person is liable for all the injuri-ous consequences of his careless act.Facts: Ram, a snake charmer, was exhibiting his talents to a group of people. One of the snakes escaped and bit a child who had to be hospitalized for two days for treatment.(a) Ram is liable to compensate the child’s

family for his careless act.



(b) Ram is not liable to anything as such things keep happening.

(c) Ram is not in a position to compensate as he is poor.

(d) None of the above. 96. Principle: A person is entitled to protect his

property by using lawful means.Facts: Ramlal is growing valuable vegetables and fruits in his farm and he has fenced the farm to prevent the cattle from entering into it. In addition he has kept a ferocious dog to chase away intruding urchins and cattles. Some chil-dren were playing in a nearby playground and the ball slipped into the farm. A boy running after the ball came near the fence and shouted for the ball. When there was no response, he managed to creep into the farm to get the ball. The dog which was surreptitiously waiting attacked the boy and badly mauled him. The boy’s parents fi led a suit against Ramlal.(a) Ramlal is not liable, since the fence and

the dog are lawful means of protecting the property.

(b) Ramlal is not liable for the boy trespassing and getting badly injured in that process.

(c) Ramlal is liable, since an ordinary barking dog would have suffi ced for the purpose.

(d) None of the above. 97. Legal Principle: Whoever uses force without

any lawful justifi cation is deemed to commit battery.Factual Situation: Mary and Maya have an argument over an issue in the classroom. In order to take revenge over this, Mary tries to humiliate Maya in front of the other class-mates by pulling the chair the moment she is about to sit on the chair. Though Maya falls, she is not hurt. However, she fi les a case against Mary for battery.Question: Is Mary liable?(a) Mary is not liable because Maya was not

hurt.(b) Mary is not liable because their argument

justifi ed her action.(c) Mary is not liable because it did not

require any force to pull the chair out before Maya sat.

(d) Mary is liable because her action is not justifi ed.

98. Legal Principle: ‘Qui facit per alium facit per se’, which means, ‘he who does an act through another is deemed in law to do it himself’.Factual Situation: A gave some amount and cheques to his friend B, who was an employee of the State Bank of India, to deposit the same in the account of his wife C. The employee misappropriated the amount. C fi les a suit against the State Bank of India. Choose the correct option.(a) The State Bank of India would be vicari-

ously liable to C.(b) The State Bank of India would be vicari-

ously liable to B.(c) B would be liable to A.(d) Neither State Bank of India nor B would

be liable. 99. Legal Principle: A violation of a legal right,

with or without damage, gives rise to a tort.Factual Situation: ‘A’ establishes a coaching class and charges ` 5,000 per year as fees. ‘A’s neighbour ‘B’ establishes another coach-ing class thereby creating a competition; this forces ‘A’ to reduce his fees to ` 3,000 per year.Question: Can ‘A’ claim damages from ‘B’ for the loss caused to him?(a) Yes, he can as ‘B’ has violated his legal

right.(b) No, ‘A’ has reduced the fees on his own.(c) No, because though there was damage

there was no legal injury.(d) None of the above.

100. Principle: A master shall be liable for the fraudulent acts committed by his servants in the course of employment.Situation: Shaila Devi opened a SB account with Oriental Bank, and a cousin of her by name Mohan, who was a clerk in that bank, helped her to complete the formalities. Subsequently, she used to entrust whatever money she was getting to Mohan along with her passbook and Mohan used to return the passbook with relevant entries. One day, Shaila Devi discovered that Mohan, instead of credit-ing the money to her account, had misappro-priating it and the entries in the passbook were without the authorization from the bank. Shaila Devi seeks compensation from Oriental Bank.



Answer:(a) Oriental bank shall be liable because

Mohan was acting in the course of his employment.

(b) Oriental bank shall not be liable, because Mohan was not acting in the course of employment.

(c) Oriental bank was not liable, because Shaila Devi was negligent.

Legal Principles(For questions 101 to 105)

Rules:A. A minor is a person who is below the

age of 18. However, where a guardian administers the minor’s property the age of majority is 21.

B. A minor is not permitted by law to enter into a contract. Hence, where a minor enters into a contract with a major per-son, the contract is not enforceable. This eff ectively means that neither the minor nor the other party can make any claim on the basis of the contract.

C. In a contract with a minor, if the other party hands over any money or confers any other benefi t on the minor, the same shall not be recoverable from the minor unless the other party was deceived by the minor to hand over money or any other benefi t. The other party will have to show that the minor misrepresented her age, he was ignorant about the age of the minor and that he handed over the benefi t on the basis of such representation.

Facts: Ajay convinces Bandita, a girl aged 18 that she should sell her land to him. Bandita’s mother Chaaru is her guardian. Nonetheless, Bandita, without the permission of Chaaru, sells the land to Ajay for a total sum of rupees 50 lakh, paid in full and fi nal settlement of the price. Chaaru challenges this transaction claiming that Bandita is a minor and hence the possession of the land shall not be given to Ajay. Thus, Ajay is in a diffi cult situation and has no idea how to recover his money from Bandita.

101. Chaaru is justifi ed in challenging the sale transaction because

(a) Bandita is of unsound mind and is not in a position to make rational decisions.

(b) though Bandita is an 18-years old, she will be treated as a minor, as Chaaru is her guardian.

(c) though Bandita is an 18-year old, she cannot sell the land without the permis-sion of her mother.

(d) though Bandita is an 18-year old she should not be treated like a person who has attained the age of majority.

102. Ajay can be allowed to recover the money only if he can show that(a) he was deceived by Bandita who misrep-

resented her age.(b) he honestly believed that Bandita was

empowered under the law to sell the land.

(c) he was an honest person who had paid the full price, of the land to Bandita.

(d) both (a) and (b). 103. In order to defend the sale, Bandita will need

to show that(a) Bandita has attained the age of majority.(b) Bandita is mature enough to make ratio-

nal decisions regarding her own aff airs.(c) the sale transaction was benefi cial to her

interest and will enhance her fi nancial status.

(d) none of the above. 104. Which of the following is correct?

(a) Ajay should be allowed to recover the money because even though there is no contract, Bandita and Chaaru should not be allowed to unjustly benefi t from Ajay’s money.

(b) Ajay should be allowed the possession of the land because Chaaru can always decide to approve the transaction between Ajay and Bandita.

She placed the jar in a prominent place in her drawing room. One of her friends, an art cri-tique, who happened to visit her, told her that the jar was not at all an antique, but Taradevi did not bother about it.

Facts: Veena, an old lady of 78 years, used to live with her grand-daughter Indira. Veena was ill and bed-ridden for several months. In those months, she could not tolerate any noise and it became quite diffi cult to clean her room. After she died, Indira hired a cleaner, Lucky, to clean the room and throwaway any rub-bish that may be there. There was a pile of



old newspapers which Veena had stacked in a corner of her room. Lucky asked Indira if he should clear away the pile of old newspapers, to which she said yes. Lucky took the pile to a municipality rubbish dump. While Lucky was sorting and throwing away the newspa-pers, he was very surprised to fi nd a beautiful painting in between two sheets of paper. He thought that Indira probably would not want this old painting back, especially because it was torn in several places and the colour was fading. He took the painting home, mounted it on a wooden frame and hung it on the wall of his bedroom. Unknown to him, the painting was an old masterpiece, and worth ` 20,000. Before mounting the painting, Lucky pasted it on a plain sheet of paper so that it does not tear any more. By doing so, he made its pro-fessional restoration very diffi cult and thereby reduced its value by half. Lucky’s neighbour Kamala discovered that the painting belonged to Indira. With the motive of returning the painting to Indira, Kamala climbed through an open window into Lucky’s room when he was away one afternoon and removed the painting from his house.

painting.(d) None of the above.
