How to Tell Wild Animals โ Grammar Exercises
Two grammar exercises based on real NCERT sentences from this chapter. Practise the editing and gap-filling formats tested in CBSE Section B.
Exercise 1Editing / Error Correction
The sentence below has one grammatical error. Find the incorrect word and write the correction.
Show Answer & Explanation
The article 'an' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. 'Asian' begins with the vowel sound /eษช/ (like the letter 'A'). So: 'an Asian lion', not 'a Asian lion'. The rule is about the sound, not the spelling โ 'an hour' (h is silent, vowel sound) vs 'a university' (y sound, consonant).
Exercise 2Gap Filling
Choose the option that best fills the blank in the sentence below.
Show Answer & Explanation
The poem mentions 'jungles in the east' โ referring to Asian jungles where these animals are found. The correct word is 'east' (lowercase, as verified from the NCERT text). This detail places the wild animals in their natural eastern habitat, giving the poem its geographic context.
