Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
No sooner did I hear the bell ____ I sat out.

A
When

B
Then

C
Hardly

D
Than

Solution

Correlative Conjunction is always used in pairs and denote equality, and show the relationship between ideas expressed in different parts of a sentence - and thus make the joining tighter and more emphatic. Some examples are either/or, neither/nor, and not only/but also. The structure no sooner is used to talk about something that happens immediately after something else. It is often used with the past perfect, and usually followed by than. In the given sentence it is inferred that I heard the bell and immediately I stepped out. These two activities take place almost simultaneously. There is no real time difference between them. Thus option D is correct. Option B can also be ruled out as 'Then' indicates 'in that case'. We use 'then' with 'if' to talk about cause and effect but it cannot be used in association with 'no sooner' which is used to talk about something that happens immediately after something else. 'Hardly' is followed by when and it is used to combine or rewrite sentences denoting two simultaneously past actions. Thus option C in discarded as in the sentence two simultaneously present actions have been combined. We can use 'when' to introduce a single completed event that takes place in the middle of a longer activity or event. In these cases, we usually use a continuous verb in the main clause to describe the background event. Thus option A is incorrect as it cannot be used along with 'no sooner'
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank using a suitable option.
Work hard, lest you ____ fail.

A
may

B
can

C
should

D
would

Solution

Option C is the correct answer because “should” is used to indicate what is probable, here failure on not working hard.
Option A is incorrect becaus although “may” expresses possibility, shall is used to express a strong intent or assertion in the future tense, and “should” is the past tense of shall.
Option B is incorrect because “can” expresses capacity or capability , here to fail, which is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because “would” is the past tense of will, which indicates certainty, hence incorrect here.

CHOOSE BEST OPTION TO FILL IN BLANK 43.

A
also

B
even

C
but

D
although

Solution

When using not only . . . but also in a sentence, parallelism should be the goal. It means that the words following both parts of this correlative conjunction (i.e., not only and but also) should belong to the same parts of speech. For example, if a verb follows not only, then a verb should also follow but also. Using different parts of speech after each part of not only . . . but also makes the sentence imbalanced and, frankly, just awkward. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence, incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in blank (2) ____________.

A
Although

B
So

C
For

D
Neither

Solution

Option A- ALTHOUGH is the correct answer. Although means - 'even though' or 'in spite of the fact that'. The speaker wishes to convey the same meaning that 'even though she has not been to the gym, she has heard of it and the trainer'.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option B- FOR is used to convey reason.
Option C-SO is used to convey the result of an action.
Option D- NEITHER is used to denote negation.
Thus, options B, C and D are incorrect and Option A is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to fill the blank:
You cannot cast your vote _______ you show your voting card. [Intermediate]

A
unless

B
although

C
as if

D
or

Solution

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases, or clauses together. Subordinating conjunctions join independent and dependent clauses. A subordinating conjunction can signal a cause-and-effect relationship, a contrast, or some other kind of relationship between the clauses. Common subordinating conjunctions are because, since, as, although, though, while, and whereas. Sometimes an adverb, such as until, after, or before can function as a conjunction. Unless is a subordinating conjunction.Unless means 'except if'.We use unless to say that there may be an exception and that this exception will change the situation. In the given sentence it is inferred that you can only cast your vote in a particular situation which is if you show your voting card. Thus Option A is correct. 'Although means "in spite of the fact that...". Thus option B can be ruled out. 'As if' as a conjunction is used to say how something seems from the information known. It is a more formal way of saying like, and is used in the same way as 'as though'.Thus Option C is incorrect. Option D can be ruled out as 'or' indicates that there is a choice and only one can be selected while in the sentence it is clearly portrayed that you can only cast your vote in a particular situation which is if you show your voting card i.e. there are no other alternative.
