A

C

D

Solution

The passage tells us that Sumit went to the Book Fair yesterday. The event i.e Sumit going to the fair is over in the past which makes it a past perfect tense sentence. So, the correct answer is option C) had gone there the previous day. 'Was' is used in past continuous tense sentences.
Question 7
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

Read the conversation given below and complete the sentence:
Attendant : A person wants to see you, Sir.
Principal : Did you ask him his name?
Attendant : Sorry, I didn't. I shall go and ask him.
Principal : Yes, and let me know soon who he is.

...view full instructions

The attendant respectfully told the principal _______.

A
Someone wanted to see him.

B
A person wants to see him.

C
That this person wants to see him.

D
That a person wanted to see him.

Solution

The sentence mentions 'person' so while converting to passive voice, it has to be used. So, we can eliminate option A which uses 'someone'. Also, it is incorrect to use 'this person' because the sentence uses 'a' person. This rules out option C. To convert to the passive voice, the tense must change from simple present (wants) to simple past (wanted). Option B is wrong since it has 'wants' in it. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
Question 8
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence in indirect speech.

The teacher said to the class, "Do not make a noise".
The teacher told the class____.

A
Not to made a noise

B
Not to make a noise

C
Do not make a noise

D
Did not make a noise

Solution

Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.
In case of order, the pattern for converting direct speech to reported speech is verb + indirect object + to-clause.
The indirect object is the person spoken to.
Thus, the sentence would be - The teacher told the class not to make a noise.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence in indirect speech

She said to me, 'Wait here till I return." She ordered me____.

A
To wait there till she returned

B
That to wait there till I returned

C
To wait there till I return

D
To wait there till she returns

Solution

Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.
In case of order, the pattern for converting direct speech to reported speech is verb + indirect object + to-clause.
The indirect object is the person spoken to. Verbs in case of order can be command, order, warn.
Thus, the sentence would be - She ordered me to wait there till she returned.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Change the following sentence into passive voice:
Julia rescued three cats.

A
Three cats are rescued by Julia.

B
Three cats was rescued by Julia.

C
Three cats were rescued by Julia.

D
Three cats are being rescued by Julia.

Solution

The given sentence is in the active voice, as the subject 'Julia' performs an action 'rescued' against the object 'three cats'.
If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So, the object takes the place of the subject and vice versa and the word 'by' is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the object. The verb form of the sentence is also changed from active form to passive.

'Subject (Julia) + verb (rescued) + object (three cats)' changes to:
'New subject (three cats) + verb (were rescued) + by + new object (Julia)'
The passive form of 'rescued' in the simple past tense is 'was/were rescued'. Since the subject 'three cats' is plural, the verb will also be plural 'were rescued'.
This can be seen in option C, hence it's the right answer.

Option A: The tense of the given sentence is in past, whereas here the verb 'are' expresses the simple present tense. The voice of the sentence has changed, but the tense still remains the same.
Option B: 'Was' is a singular verb whereas the noun 'three cats' is plural.
Option D: 'Are being rescued' expresses the present continuous tense. But the event happened in the past.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
