Yes, they have eaten.

A
Have they been eating?

C

Solution

'Yes/No' questions are those questions which start from helping verbs like was, are, were, is, etc.
In such a case, the order is Verb + Subject + Object. In the given sentence, 'have' is the verb, 'they' is the subject and 'eaten' is the object.

D

Solution

'Yes/No' questions are those questions which start from helping verbs like was, are, were, is, etc.
In such a case, the order is Verb + Subject + Object. In the given sentence, 'is' is the verb, 'there' is the subject and 'way' is the object.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Question 4
1 / -0

Change the following sentence into passive voice:
Khan will have written the novel by tomorrow.

A
The novel will have written by Khan by tomorrow.

B
The novel will have been written by Khan by tomorrow.

C
The novel will be written by Khan by tomorrow.

D
The novel will have been written by Khan by the next day.

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 B)The novel will have been written by Khan by tomorrow.
Option B) is correct as the subject of the given sentence comes in the place of the object and vice versa. Also, the main verb is used in the third form.
Options A, C, and D are not correct as 'been' is not used, the given sentence is in the Perfect Future tense, and 'by the next day' cannot be used respectively.
Question 5
1 / -0

Rainforests make up only 3 percent of the earth's surface. Over half the world's plant, animal, and insect species live there.
Combine the above sentence with a conjunction that expresses a contrast:

A
Rainforests make up only 3 percent of the earth's surface, so over half the world's plant, animal, and insect species live there.

B
Rainforests make up only 3 percent of the earth's surface, therefore over half the world's plant, animal, and insect species live there.

C
Rainforests make up only 3 percent of the earth's surface and over half the world's plant, animal, and insect species live there.

D
Although rainforests make up only 3 percent of the earth's surface, over half the world's plant, animal, and insect species live there.

Solution

We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.
The subordinating conjunctions used to express contrast in a sentence are though, although, as, however, whoever, whatever and notwithstanding.
And, so do not express contrast. We can thus eliminate options A and C as incorrect answers.
Option D is the correct answer as the conjunction 'although' joins the two sentence to express a contrast.
Option B is incorrect as the conjunction 'therefore' is used to explain cause and effect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Combine the above sentence with a conjunction that expresses a contrast:

A
The bill was passed by a majority and the Democratic party was strongly opposed to it.

The bill was passed by a majority, therefore the Democratic party was strongly opposed to it.

C
The bill was passed by a majority, so the Democratic party was strongly opposed to it.

D
The bill was passed by majority, although the Democratic party was strongly opposed to it.

Solution

We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.
The subordinating conjunctions used to express contrast in a sentence are though, although, as, however, whoever, whatever and notwithstanding.
And, so do not express contrast. We can thus eliminate options A and C as incorrect answers.
Option D is the correct answer as the conjunction 'although' joins the two sentence to express a contrast.
Option B is incorrect as the conjunction 'therefore' is used to explain cause and effect.

Solution

We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.
The subordinating conjunctions used to express contrast in a sentence are though, although, as, however, whoever, whatever and notwithstanding.
And, because do not express contrast. We can thus eliminate options A and B as incorrect answers.
Option C is the correct answer as the conjunction 'although' joins the two sentence to express a contrast.
Option D is incorrect as the conjunction 'therefore' is used to explain cause and effect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the correct passive form of past tense from the options given below:
The nuts ___ by the squirrel.

A
was not picked up

B
were not picked up

C
did not pick up

D
were not pick up

Solution

A sentence in passive voice focuses on the person or thing that receives an action rather than the person/thing that performs the action.
For example, 'My room was cleaned by me.'
The basic structure of passive voice is:
the appropriate form of the verb 'to be' + past participle
Option B: 'Were not picked up' is the appropriate structure, formed by the past tense verb 'were' + not + past participle (picked up). Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Was' is a singular verb whereas the subject (nuts) is plural. The subject and verb must agree with one another in terms of number. Hence A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Did' is a verb in the active voice. The word itself means 'to perform an action'. It changes the subject to perform, rather than receive, an action. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Pick up' is the base verb that does not express the past tense of the sentence. The past participle 'picked up' must be used. Hence D is incorrect.
Note: 'Pick up' is a phrasal verb, i.e., it's a phrase made with a verb 'pick' and a preposition 'up'.
Question 9
1 / -0

Select a word(s) (a formal one) expressing contrast or concession to combine the following sentence:
It was a predictable, but _____________ hilarious story.

A
yet

B
nevertheless

C
beside

D
anyway

Solution

'Nevertheless' is used to indicate that the second point made contrasts with the first point.
'Anyway' is used when something is done without regard to what happens. 'Beside' means by alongside or near.
'Yet' is used to mean nevertheless or however. It carries a sense of negation.
The given sentence can be completed by using 'nevertheless' as the contrast is shown that it was a predictable but hilarious story.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Change the following sentence into passive voice.
The labourers have called off the strike.

A
The strike has called off the strike.

B
The strike has been called off by the labourers.

C
The strike have been called by the labourers.

D
All of the above
Solution
The ground rules to change active voice in passive voice are:
The places of subject and object are interchanged.
3rd form of the verb (past participle) is always used as the main verb in the passive voice. This applies to all tenses.
The word 'by' is generally used before the subject.
The given sentence is an example of the present perfect tense. The formula to convert a present perfect sentence in passive voice is Subject +has/have + been + past participle + by object.
Thus, the passive voice for the given sentence - The strike has been called off by the laborers.
Hence, option B is the correct answer according to the rules.
