  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the most suitable passive voice conversion of the given sentence:
    Don't misunderstand me. 
    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 given sentence is an imperative sentence (order or command). Hence in such sentences, the subject is merely implied.
    The general structure of a negative imperative sentence in passive voice is:
    let + object + not + be + participle.
    Option A: The sentence follows the same structure
    let + object (me) + not + be + past participle (misunderstood)
    Hence option A is correct.
    Option B: This sentence does not follow the general structure.
    Moreover, 'should' in "shouldn't be misunderstood" refers to obligation, and not command. Hence B is incorrect.
    Option C is incorrect because the given sentence is an order and not a requested: "you are not requested..."
    Option D is incorrect because the sentence is incomprehensible: "You be not..."
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
    The doctor asked the patient if she had had a heart attack before.
    The doctor asked the patient, "_____________ a heart attack before?" [Intermediate]
    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 the given indirect speech consists of 'if' which suggests that the direct speech must be a question and should start with have (past perfect to present perfect). 

     The other options are wrong as has, she and you can't be used.

    The correct answer is B)Have you had

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using nominalisation of the underlined verb:
    Indians love to conform to the traditional values. Their ________ sometimes stops them from evolving further.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option A.
    We are to choose the correct nominalisation of the verb 'conform' from the given options.
    Nominalisation refers to the noun form of a verb or an adjective.
    Options B,C and D are incorrect because:
    Option B: CONFORMATION: means a shape of something. This not comply with context of the sentence.
    Option C: CONFIRMABILITY means the quality of confirming. This does not comply with the context of the sentence.
    Option D: CONFORMING means to comply with rules. It is in the verb form.
    Hence these 3 options are incorrect.
    Option A: CONFORMISM means the tendency to adopt attitudes. It is in the noun form and also complies with the meaning of the sentence.
    Hence Option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 4

    Select the most appropriate option for [4]: [Advanced]
    Solution
    When a sentence is changed from direct to indirect speech, the subject pronoun, verbs and tense forms also change. (This is because the speech is reported by someone else, and the tense of the direct speech goes one tense back as it's spoken at a later time now.) The meaning of the sentence should not differ.
    Option A: This sentence is the correct narration of the direct speech, as 'you have' is changed to 'she had' as the tense changes from present perfect to past perfect. ('You've' is a contraction of 'you have' and the person changes from 'you' to 'she'.) Hence A is correct.
    Option B is incorrect because the present tense verb 'have' has not been changed to past 'had'.
    Option C is incorrect because the sentence is in passive voice, in the past perfect continuous tense. But, the reported speech does not change its voice.
    Option D is incorrect because the subject in first person 'you' has not been changed. It should, as the speaker is a different person now.
    (When the direct speech is in present perfect tense, the reported speech will change to its past equivalent, past perfect tense. This applies to most other tenses.)
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Identify the participle phrase:

    Deceived by his friends, he lost all hope.
    Solution
    A participle is that form of the verb which acts as both a Verb and an Adjective.
    A participle phrase will begin with a present or past participle. If the participle is present, it will dependably end in ing. Likewise a regular past participle will end in a consistent ed.
    Since, all phrases require two or more words, a participle phrase will often include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought.
    Participle phrases always function as adjectives,adding description to the sentence.
    In this case,
    Option D is correct. 'Deceived by his friends' is the participle phrase which describes the pronoun 'he'. This phrase is introduced by the past participle 'deceived'.
    Option A is incorrect.
    Option B is incorrect as 'he lost all hope' is the principal part of the sentence containing the finite verb 'lost'.
    Option C is incorrect because it doesn't have a participle.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    Unless he's offered more money elsewhere, ________ this job.
    Solution
    The given sentence is a type 1 conditional sentence. It shows a possible condition and its probable result. Here, the verb tense of the conditional clause is in simple present and the verb tense of the main clause is in simple future tense.  
    The context refers to the condition of (unless) him being offered more money elsewhere and if that that condition is not fulfilled, then he (will) accept this job. 
    Option C uses the contraction of the simple future tense verb (he will) "he'll accept". This concurs with the context. Thus, this is correct.
    "He won't accept" is a negative clause and does not follow the conditional. Thus, this is incorrect.
    "He would accept" is incorrect as it indicates a preference or a wish. However, the context requires a simple future tense statement.
    "He wouldn't accept" is also a negative clause and does not concur with the conditional 'unless" in the context. 
    Thus, option C is the correct.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the participle phrase in the following sentence:

    Loudly knocking at the gate, he demanded admission.
    Solution
    A participle is that form of the verb which acts as both a Verb and an Adjective.
    A participle phrase will begin with a present or past participle. If the participle is present, it will dependably end in ing. Likewise a regular past participle will end in a consistent ed.
    Since, all phrases require two or more words, a participle phrase will often include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought.
    Participle phrases always function as adjectives,adding description to the sentence.
    In this case,
    Option A is correct. 'Loudly knocking at the gate is participle phrase' describing the noun 'he'. The present participle 'knocking' forms the participle phrase.
    Option B is incorrect as 'he demanded admission' is the principal part of the sentence containing the finite verb 'demanded'.
    Option C is incorrect as 'at the gate' is a phrase but there is no participle in it.
    Option D is incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify the participial phrase in the following sentence.

    Hearing the noise, the boy woke up. 
    Solution
    Option A is incorrect because it is a phrasal verb
    Option B is incorrect because it is the primary part of the sentence with the finite verb
    Option C is incorrect because it is the participle, not the entire phrase
    Option D is correct as the phrase 'hearing the noise' is governed by the participle 'hearing'
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the participle phrase:

    Being engaged in serious matters, he had no time to meet us.
    Solution
    A participle is that form of the verb which acts as both a Verb and an Adjective.
    A participle phrase will begin with a present or past participle. If the participle is present, it will dependably end in ing. Likewise a regular past participle will end in a consistent ed.
    Since, all phrases require two or more words, a participle phrase will often include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought.
    Participle phrases always function as adjectives,adding description to the sentence.
    In this case,
    Option A is correct as 'Being engaged in serious matters' is the participle phrase describing the pronoun 'he'. The past participle 'being engaged' introduces the participle phrase.
    Option B is incorrect as 'he had no time to meet us' is the principal part of the sentence containing a finite verb 'had'.
    Option C is incorrect as the phrase 'time to meet us' is devoid of a participle.
    Option D is incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Option A is incorrect as it is just a word.
    Option C is incorrect as it is the principal part of the sentence containing a finite verb 'attempted'.
    Option D is incorrect.
