General English Test-2

All four options give the idea that Indian tourism is being talked about. So 'R' will be the first sentence.

'P' mentions why Indian tourism has flourished.

The conjunction 'and' links parts 'S' with 'P'.

'Q' mentions where the efforts of the government are put in. So, it will be the last.

The antonym of 'Demure' is 'Strong'.

Plausible: (of an argument or statement) seeming reasonable or probable, that you can believe.

For example: She could find no plausible explanation for its disappearance.

Unthinkable: (of a situation or event) too unlikely or undesirable to be considered a possibility.

For example: The relation between cause and effect is unthinkable.

The correct answer is common.

distinctive: characteristic of one person or thing, and so serving to distinguish it from others

common: occurring, found, or done often; prevalent

Let's look at the meanings of the other given options: 

• unique- being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else
• special- better, greater, or otherwise different from what is usual
• unfamiliar- not known or recognized

Thus, from the given meanings, we find that distinctive and common are antonyms.

The correct sentence is "My sister and I are planning a trip from Jaipur to Delhi".

The error is in the first part of the sentence 'My sister and me are.'

'Me' is an objective case of the pronoun 'I'. So that we can say that it is incorrect here because we need a subjective case. So it must be replaced with the subjective case 'I' to make the sentence correct.

The correct sentence is "Mumbai is the largest cotton centre in the country".

The error is in the second part of the sentence 'largest cotton centre' as a definite article 'the' is missing. The definite article 'the' is used with a superlative degree. For example: He is the tallest boy in the class.

DBAC is the correct sequence.

D is the sentence that establishes the subject matter which is the ‘Bengal Famine’. Hence, it'll be the first sentence after rearrangement.

Sentence B-  talks about the statistics related to the famine. Hence, B follows D.

Sentence A-  is the logical successor of sentence B as it talks about the effects of the crisis.

Sentence C- follows A as it introduces the observations or thoughts of the historians regarding the famine.

The correct answer is: The page of the book was torn by the child.

We need to change it in the passive voice.

The following steps are required to change the given sentence into passive voice:-

• The subject 'the child' of the active voice will become the object of the passive voice.
• The object 'the page of the book' of the active voice will become the subject of the passive voice.
• The tense(simple past tense) will change according to the following structure:-
  • Active Voice - Subject + did + V₁ or V₂ (tore) + Object.
  • Passive Voice - Object + was/were + V₃ (torn) + by + Object.

Therefore, the correct passive voice is The page of the book was torn by the child.

The correct answer is:

The above-given sentence is in the active voice.

We need to change it into passive voice.

We need to follow the given steps for converting the sentence into passive voice:-

• The subject 'the class teacher' of the active voice becomes the object of the passive voice.
• The object 'the children' of the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice.
• The tense(past continuous tense) will be changed according to the following structure:-

The correct answer is: 

'The audience loudly cheered the politician’s speech.'

In the active form, the subject and the object will get interchanged. So, 'the politician's speech' will become the object. The passive form contains 'was' which means the active form must be in the past tense. 

Option (A) is in the present tense.

Option (B) changes the meaning.

Option (D) is in the past perfect tense.
