1 / -0.25

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech.

My friend asked me where I planned to go for a vacation.

A
My friend said to me, “Where have you planned to go for a vacation?”

B
My friend said to me, “Where do you plan to go for a vacation?”

C
My friend said to me, “Where are you planning to go for a vacation?”

D
My friend said to me, “Where you have planned to go for a vacation?”
Solution
The correct answer is 'My friend said to me, “Where do you plan to go for a vacation?”.

Key Points
- To change from indirect to direct speech, we use the following steps -
  
  The reporting verb asked is changed to said.
  
  Put a comma (,) after 'My friend said to me...'
  
  Insert inverted commas ("...") to mark the statement part of the direct speech.
  
  Capitalize the first word of the statement. (Where)
  
  Change past perfect tense (planned) into present tense (plan).
- When we follow the above steps, we get the following sentence - My friend said to me, “Where do you plan to go for a vacation?”
- Thus, option 2 is the correct answer.

Solution
The correct answer is 'Option 2' i.e. 'Effervescent'.

Key Points

A

C

D
No correction required
Solution
The correct answer is 'boasting a locomotive depot'.

Key Points
- The correct usage of the verb "boast" in this context is "boasting a...".
- "Boasting off" is not correct English usage in this context.
- "Boast for" and "boasting at" are also not appropriate in this sentence.
- Therefore, "boasting a locomotive depot" is the correct phrase to indicate that Haworth takes pride in having a locomotive depot.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

To break the ice

A
to talk in an ambiguous manner

B
to get up early in the morning

C
to make visionary schemes

D

Solution

- The metaphorical "ice" in this phrase refers to a barrier or awkwardness between individuals or groups that prevents them from communicating openly.
- "Breaking the ice" helps in establishing an ambiance of comfort and open communication, thereby making a beginning.

Question 7
1 / -0.25

Identify the part of the sentence that has an error:

The chairs were occupied by the guest when the program began.

A
were occupied

B
when the program began

C
The chairs

D
by the guest
Solution
The correct answer is 'by the guest'.

Key Points
- The error lies in the usage of 'by the guest' instead of 'by the guests' in the 1st segment of the given sentence.
- Here we are talking about more than one chair which is being occupied.
- Therefore, the guests occupying those chairs should be in the plural form.
  
  For example:- The guests are each sitting on an armchair.
- Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
Correct Sentence: The chairs were occupied by the guests when the program began.
Question 8
1 / -0.25

Reghunath usually leaves his native village during the vacation.

A
His native village is usually left by Reghunath during the vacation.

B
His native village was usually left by Reghunath during the vacation.

C
His native village has been usually left by Reghunath during the vacation.

D
His native village is usually being left by Reghunath during the vacation.
Solution
The correct answer is 'Option 1'.

Key Points
- In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
- Here, the object "his native village" becomes the subject.
- The verb "leaves" in the active voice is in the simple present tense.
- When converting to the passive voice, it changes to "is left".
- The passive voice structure for the simple present tense is "is/are + past participle of the main verb". In this case, the past participle of "leave" is "left".
- The rest of the sentence ("usually", "by Reghunath", "during the vacation") remains the same, but is rearranged to fit the passive voice structure.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: 'His native village is usually left by Reghunath during the vacation.'
Question 9
1 / -0.25

A
Originate

B
Ethics

C
Vorocious

D
Bigwig
Solution
The correct answer is 'Vorocious'.

- The options are "Originate", "Ethics", "Vorocious" and "Bigwig".
- Checking each word, we find that "Originate", which means come into existence, "Ethics", which refers to moral principles, and "Bigwig", referring to an important person, are all spelled correctly.
- The word "Vorocious" is the misspelt word here.
- The correct spelling is "Voracious", which describes someone wanting or devouring great quantities of food or having a very eager approach in other contexts.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.
Question 10
1 / -0.25

- The correct synonym is 'Constant' which implies being unchanging or unwavering (Hindi meaning: स्थायी).

Therefore, the correct answer is: 'Constant'.
