Amid uproar over the CBSE Class X English exam, officials said question numbers 13 and 14 were correct and there was no ambiguity.

Several students and parents took to social media on Saturday to highlight certain “confusing” questions in the English exam.

“With regard to the queries about English question numbers 13 and 14, it may be noted that both questions are correct and there is no ambiguity.

“The passage starts with the following statement — ‘Read the passage given below and answer the questions/complete the statements that follow by choosing the most appropriate option out of the given ones’,” said the CBSE in a statement.

“Questions are to be replied as per the instructions given and not in isolation,” it added. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
