Transformation of Sentences Test 7

'Nevertheless' is used to indicate that the second point made contrasts with the first point or a condition.

In active voice, the subject does or performs an action.
In passive voice, the subject receives the action. (Or, the subject receives the action that is performed BY the object.)
The structure changes while transforming from active to passive, but the tense remains the same.
While changing the given sentence to passive, 'The sparrows' becomes the subject and the 'grandmother' becomes the object. The verb form changes to 'are fed'. (are + past participle)
Hence, the answer is: The sparrows are fed by the grandmother daily.
This is the same as option A, hence it is correct.
Option B: The verb form 'fed up' has a different meaning, 'to be annoyed with someone'. This changes the meaning of the sentence.
Option C: 'Are feed' is grammatically incorrect. 'Feed' is the base form of the verb. But, the simple present tense (passive voice) uses the form is/are + past participle.
Hence options B and C are incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.

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 A) Tina said that her purse had been stolen.

Option A) 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 B, C, and D are not correct as the tense used is wrong, the sentence structure is wrong, and one of the options is correct respectively.

Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. Special adverbs like "very" are always placed before the main adverb, like the adverb of manner "swiftly". The given sentence ends with an adverb, which is incorrect, because it must be placed before the adverb it modifies, i.e. swiftly. Hence the sentence requires a change and option A is incorrect.
Option D is correct because the adverb 'swiftly' is preceded by the adverb that modifies it, 'very'.
Option B is incorrect because the adverb is placed in the infinitive phrase, "to avoid colliding... ." which is far away from the adverb it modifies. (An adverb must be close to the word it modifies.)
Option C is incorrect because 'very' is placed in the front position of the sentence. This only happens when the adverb intends to modify an entire sentence, which is not the case here.

A phrase is a group of words that is an important component in any sentence. The participle phrase will begin with a present or past participle. The present participle phrase ends with -ing. The past participle phrase ends with -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n.

An assertive sentence, also called declarative sentence, is usually a statement or an opinion. Thus, the given sentence can be transformed into one of the two. 

An adjective is usually placed before the noun that it modifies. This is true for adjectives that are in the attributive position, i.e., the adjective comes before the noun. When adjectives are in the predicative position, i.e., when it follows the noun, the adjective does not follow it immediately. The adjective follows a linking verb, thereby complementing the noun.
In the given sentence, there's an error in the position of the adjective "petite". It follows the pronoun "I" and comes before the verb "turned", but it modifies neither. Adjectives do not modify pronouns like "I", nor do they modify verbs. Hence the sentence must be changed and option A is incorrect.
In option B, the adjective comes before the noun "woman"; 'petite' refers to someone/something small in size, the "woman" is described as small. Hence this sentence has no error and option B is correct.
In option C, the adjective "petite" is placed after the noun "woman", but adjectives usually do not follow the noun they modify (unless the noun is followed by a linking verb; here it isn't). Hence C is incorrect.
In option D, the adjective is placed before the pronoun 'me'; as mentioned earlier, adjectives do not modify pronouns in formal English, hence D is incorrect.

An effective way to make language more emphatic when using English is by inverting a sentence's normal word order.
For example, "I have never eaten such a flaky croissant" is a regular sentence, with the normal SVO word order: subject (I) + verb (have never eaten) + object (such a flaky croissant). To add emphasis, the auxiliary verb "have" can be placed before the subject: "Never have I eaten such a flaky croissant" ("Never" is an adverb and the main verb is 'eaten')
The given sentence is of the normal word order (SVO) hence the sentence must be changed, and option A is incorrect.
Option D is correct. Here it is the object ("powerful" and "the dark") instead of the verb ("have become" and "see") is placed before the subject ("you" and "I"). It's not the same as the normal inversion, which is VSO. This language is famously used by Yoda, a character from the popular movie franchise, Star Wars. It's also used in archaic texts. Hence option D is correct. 
Option B is incorrect as the meaning is incomprehensible. In inversion the meaning must be understood easily.
Option C is incorrect because the sentence form is that of a question. The meaning changes as it seems the speaker is seeking an answer.

Adjectives that are placed right before the noun/noun phrase it modifies are attributive adjectives.
Option C is correct because the adjective "heavy" precedes the noun "door" that it modifies. The adjective here is attributive in nature.
Option A is incorrect because, even though the adjective is correctly placed before the noun "room", it makes no sense; a room can't be called heavy.
Option B is incorrect because attributive adjectives do not immediately follow the nouns that they modify.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in C.
