He was all the more upset because __________________ and he feared he would be out for a duck. [Advanced]

A
they are playing with Delhi Public School the next day

B
they were playing with Delhi Public School the next day

C
they are playing with Delhi Public School tomorrow

D
they were playing with Delhi Public School tomorrow

Solution

When we're reporting a speech, we're narrating things that happened or were said in the past. So, the speech will go one tense back.
In reported speech, we add a reporting verb (usually 'said'), the subject changes in narration ('he', 'she', 'it' or 'they') and the related words also change.
Option B: For reporting Sanju's speech, the first point of view 'we' changes to third point of view 'they'. 'Are playing' is in the present continuous and changes to 'were playing', the past continuous. The adverb 'tomorrow' will change to 'next day'.
So, the correct reported speech for the sentence "Tomorrow we are playing with Delhi Public School" is:
'He was... upset because they were playing with Delhi Public School the next day and...'
Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'Are playing' expresses the present continuous tense whereas the sentence must go one tense behind, from present continuous tense 'are playing' to past continuous 'were playing'.
Option C: Similarly, 'are playing' needs to be changed. Also, the word 'tomorrow' has not been changed in this option.
Option D: The word 'tomorrow' has not been changed here.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.

Question 6
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence by changing its voice (Active/Passive):
We hope that we shall win the match.

A
The match is hoped to be won.

B
Match winning is our hope.

C
It is hoped that the match will be won by us.

D
Winning the match is hoped by us.

Solution

The given sentence is in the active voice, and there are two parts of this sentence, as it has two clauses "We hope" and "we shall win the match". It's a complex sentence as one clause is dependent on the other. The subject 'we' performs the action 'hope' and in the second part the subject 'we' performs the action 'shall win' against the object 'the match'.
If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject, verb form and object are all 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 (we) + verb (hope)' will change to 'subject (it) + verb (is hoped)'
and
'Subject (We) + verb (shall win) + object (the match)' changes to:
'New subject (the match) + verb (will be won) + by + new object (us)'
'That' is the conjunction that joins these two clauses.

The passive form of 'hope' in the simple present tense is 'is hoped' and 'shall win' is 'will be won'.
This can be seen in option C, hence it's the right answer.

Option A: This sentence combines the clauses and reduces it to one clause. The question does not call for the sentence to be changed from complex to simple.
Option B: This sentence has been changed in meaning as well as structure.
Option D: This sentence too has been reduced to a simple sentence, where one clause has been reduced to the subject 'match winning'.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 7

Please help me.

A
You were requested to help me.

B
You are being requested to help me.

C
You are requested to help me.

D
You have been requested to help me.

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 given sentence is in the active voice.

The correct answer is C) You are requested to help me.
Option C) is correct as the subject of the given sentence(me) comes in the place of the object and vice versa. Also, the main verb (request) is used in the third form (requested).

Options A, B, and D are not correct as the given sentence is not in the past tense, present continuous tense, and past perfect tense respectively.
Question 8
1 / -0

Change the given sentence to passive voice.

Our English teacher was delivering a lecture. [Advanced]

A
A lecture is being delivered by our English teacher.

B
A lecture is delivered by our English teacher.

C
A lecture had been delivered by our English teacher.

D
A lecture was being delivered by our English teacher.

Solution

The sentence uses the words 'was delivering' which indicates that it is in the past continuous tense. The passive form of the sentence must maintain this tense. Option A) contains the words 'is being delivered' which is in the present continuous tense. Hence, it is incorrect. Option B) is incorrect because it has 'is delivered' which is in the past tense. Option C) indicates that the lecture is complete and not an ongoing process as is indicated by the original sentence.
So, the most appropriate answer is D) A lecture was being delivered by our English teacher.
Question 9
1 / -0

The sentence has been given in the Active/Passive voice. From the given options, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in the Passive/Active voice.
The teacher punished the boys who had not done their homework. [Advanced]

A
The boys who had not done their homework had been punish by their teacher.

B
The boys were punished by their teacher who had not done their homework.

C
The boys who had not done their homework were punished by the teacher.

D
The boys who had not done their homework were being punished by the teacher.

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 the active voice.
The correct answer is C)The teacher punished the boys who had not done their homework.
Option C is correct as the subject of the given sentence (teacher) comes in the place of the object(the boys). Here, 'who had not done their homework' gives an indication of which group of boys the teacher punished. Also, the past participle form of the main verb with the helping verb 'was' is used.
Options A,B, and D are wrong as the given sentence is not in the past perfect tense, the phrase 'who had not done their homework' is placed wrong, and the given sentence is not in the past continuous tense respectively.
Question 10
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence by changing its voice (Active/Passive):
Who taught her such things?

A
Who was she taught such things by?

B
She was taught such things by who?

C
By whom she was taught such things?

D
By whom was she taught such things?

Solution

A sentence is in the active voice when the subject performs an action.
A sentence is said to be in the passive voice when the subject receives an action.
While changing an interrogative sentence to passive voice, the subject 'who' changes to an object 'by whom'.

The passive form of 'taught' in the simple past tense is 'was/were taught'.
This can be seen in option D, hence it's the right answer.

Option A: The word 'by' must come before the object 'whom'. Also, 'who' is a subject pronoun and must be changed to 'whom' (object pronoun).
Option B: Similarly, 'who' needs to be changed to 'whom'.
Option C: The words 'she was taught' is in the form of an assertive sentence, whereas the given sentence is interrogative. So, it must be 'was she taught' and not 'she was taught'. The former asks 'by whom' whereas the latter asserts that she was taught.

Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
