    The poet said that poetry is a spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.

    Solution

    The correct answer is prepared.

    prepared: make (something) ready for use or consideration

    spontaneous: performed or occurring as a result of a sudden inner impulse or inclination and without premeditation or external stimulus

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

    • alerted- warn (someone) of danger, threat, or problem, typically with the intention of having it avoided or dealt with
    • automatic- working by itself with little or no direct human control
    • well-executed- skillfully carried out

    Thus, from the given meanings, we find that spontaneous and prepared are antonyms.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0.33

    Choose the option that is the correct active/passive form of the sentence.

    The catch should not be dropped.

    Solution

    An imperative sentence does not normally have a subject. It is used to express a command or request. The imperative sentence in the active and passive voice takes the following form:

    V1 + Object. 

    Object + should be + V3.

    Example: ​Help the needy. (Active Voice)

    Active form: 'Don’t drop the catch.'

  • Question 9
    1 / -0.33

    Choose the option that is the correct active/passive form of the sentence.

    They found her guilty of theft.

    Solution

    The voice of a verb tells whether the subject of the sentence performs or receives the action.

    In active voice, the subject (agent) acts upon the verb; while in passive, the verb acts upon the subject (agent).

    Rules of Conversion from Active to Passive Voice:

    • Identify the subject, the verb and the object: S+V+O.
    • Change the object into subject.
    • Put the suitable helping verb or auxiliary verb.
    • Change the verb into past participle of the verb.
    • Add the preposition "by“.
    • Change the subject into object.

    Option (B) follows all the proper conversion rules.

    The correct answer is: She was found guilty of theft.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0.33

    Choose the option that is the correct active/passive form of the sentence.

    The security guard opened the gate using his pass.

    Solution

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

    The subject 'the security guard' of the active voice will become the object of the passive voice.

    The object 'the gate' 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 + Object.

    Passive Voice - Object + was/were + V3 + by + Object.

    Thus, 'opened' will be converted to 'was opened'.

    The correct answer is: The gate was opened by the security guard using his pass.
