Supporting Language Skills
Not a separate syllabus unit. The NTA syllabus says questions are “not limited to” the listed topics, so these skills support everything above.
Why this chapter is here
The official NCET Bodo syllabus has two units, Reading Comprehension and Verbal Ability, and says questions are “not limited to” the listed topics. Strong grammar, a wide vocabulary and familiarity with idioms make every one of those questions easier. This chapter covers those supporting skills; it is not a separate syllabus unit.
