Functional English paper ambiguous,say students

Tanisha Grover,a student,said,“When I read question 7,I thought it was about framing questions. But then when I came to question number 9,it also asked the same thing.”

According to CBSE,there can be only one question on Framing Questions. The students later realised that question number 7 was on Dialogue Building. “I had to reattempt the question. That wasted my time,” Grover said.

“The question was so ambiguous,” Jyotsna Grover,who teaches functional English at Salwan Public School,Rajinder Nagar,said.

Students had to frame questions from a given passage which,most said,was “not clear”. “The passage read that — prepare a set of five questions and the example given was of dialogue building. It should have been — prepare a dialogue or prepare a set of five exchanges,” Grover said.
