Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the most suitable passive voice conversion of the given sentence.
People will line the road to welcome the Olympic-stars.

A
The Olympic-stars will be lined with the people for welcome

B
The road will be lined by people to welcome the Olympic-stars

C
The road will be lined from people to welcome the Olympic-stars

D
All of the above

Solution

The structure of a sentence in the passive voice is, the object of the sentence followed by the passive form of the verb and then the subject.
In accordance with this pattern, option B is the correct answer with 'the road' being the object of the sentence, 'will be lined' is the passive form of the verb 'will line' and 'people' is the subject.
Options A and C are incorrect as they do not follow the structure of a sentence in the passive voice and are grammatically incorrect.
Option D is incorrect as we have chosen option B as the correct answer.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the most suitable passive voice conversions of the given sentences :
Mrs. Smith looks after her children very well.

A
Her children looked very well by Mrs. Smith.

B
Her children are looked very well by Mrs. Smith.

C
Her children are looked after very well by Mrs. Smith.

D
None of these

Solution

A sentence is in active voice when the subject is the doer of the action.
A sentence is in passive voice when the new subject (object in active voice) is the receiver of that action.
The object in the active voice now takes the place of the subject, and vice versa. (subject + verb + object, where the subject and object swap places)
The structure of the given sentence is: Subject (Mrs. Smith) + verb (looks after) + object (her children) + adverb of manner (very well).
When this is changed to passive voice, the correct structure must be:
New subject (Her children) + verb (are looked after) + adverb (very well) + by + new object (Mrs. Smith).
The preposition 'by' is essential in passive voice, so that the meaning of the sentence does not change, the original subject 'Mrs. Smith' still performs the action. Also, 'looks after' is changed to 'are looked after', as the voice changes.
Option C: The structure mentioned above can be seen in C, hence it's the correct option.
Option A is incorrect because the words 'are' and 'after' are missing. As the voice changes, an auxiliary (helping) verb like 'are' must be added to the main verb 'looks after'.
Option B is incorrect as the preposition 'after' is missing. (The verb in the given sentence is a phrasal verb 'looked after', formed with a verb 'looks' and a preposition 'after')
Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in C.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the most appropriate passive form for the given sentences from the options:
Why was the police checking all the cars? [Advanced]

A
Why were all the cars being checked by the police?

B
Why was police checked all the cars?

C
Police was checking all the cars.

D
All the cars were police checked.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the most suitable passive voice conversion of the given sentence.
The Principal will present vote of thanks before the dinner is served.

A
Vote of thanks will be presented by the Principal before the dinner is served

B
Before the dinner is served, the Principal will be presenting vote of thanks

C
Both A and B

D
None of these

Solution

On conversion to passive voice, the structure of a sentence changes to object-passive form of verb-subject.
In accordance with this pattern option A is the correct answer as 'vote of thanks' is the object, 'will be presented' is the passive form of the verb 'will present' and 'the Principal' is the subject of the sentence.
Option B is incorrect because it does not follow this structure.
Option C is incorrect because only option A is the correct answer.
Option D is incorrect because we have already chosen the correct answer.

1 / -0

Choose the most appropriate passive form for the given sentences from the options:

1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Someone heard him shout for help. He __________ shout for help.

A
has been heard

B
is heard to

C
was heard

D
was heard to

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.
The correct answer is D)was heard to
The option D is correct as the given sentence is in active voice and to transform it into passive voice the subject of the given sentence
(someone) comes in the place of the object(him- though someone can be neglected here ) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the simple past tense, 'heard' is added after the helping verb 'was' and before to.
Options A, B, and C are wrong as has been , is, and was can not be used here.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
She's spring-cleaning the house from bottom to top. The house ________ from top to bottom.

A
is being spring-cleaned

B
was to be spring-cleaned

C
has been spring-cleaned

D
is to be spring-cleaned

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.

The correct answer is A) is being spring-cleaned as the previous sentence indicates present continuous tense.(passive)
Options B, C, and D are not correct as the sentence is not in the past tense, present perfect tense, and the present tense respectively

She's spring-cleaning the house from bottom to top. The house is being spring-cleaned from top to bottom.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
"May I use your telephone?" He asked me if __________.

A
I might use his telephone

B
he may use his telephone

C
he might use my telephone

D
he might use his telephone

Solution

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).
In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.
In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.
Option C is correct as the question in the inverted commas is in the simple present tense and 'may' is used with the first form of 'use'.
Options A, B, and D are wrong as the meaning of the sentence is changed, the telephone didn't belong to the person who requested to use it, and the telephone belonged to the person whom the speaker of the question asked respectively.
The correct answer is C)he might use my telephone.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

He asks _____________________

A
what do the pupils study.

B
what the pupils study.

C
what the pupils studied.

D
what the pupils have studied study.

E
whether the pupils study something.

Solution

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported speech).In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are repeated. In indirect/reported speech, the exact meaning is expressed but not necessarily using the original speaker's exact words. Pronouns and possessive adjectives usually change from first or second person to the third person except when the speaker is reporting his own words. Sometimes a noun can be inserted to avoid doubt.
When we turn direct questions and exclamations into indirect speech, they are converted to affirmative statement .( ? and ! is not used).
Option B is correct as when we convert the given direct question to indirect speech the question word is repeated, asks is used a the introductory verb, and the tense is not changed as 'says' is used in the direct speech.
The other options are wrong as do, studied, have studied, and something can't be used.
The correct answer is B)what the pupils study.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The surgeon says, "You may have some pain for a few days." He says that _________ some pain for a few days

A
I might have

B
he may have

C
he might

D
I may have

Solution

The given sentence is a statement.
According to the rules of narration and reporting, if the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, the reported verb is not changed. The reporting verb in the given sentence, 'says', is in the present form.Therefore, the reported verb should be in the present tense. The pronoun 'you' changes into 'I'.
Thus the complete sentence must be,
He says that I may have some pain for a few days.
Thus option D is the correct answer.
Options A,B,C are incorrect as they do not follow the rules of Narration and Reporting.
