...view full instructions

The essay (P) like that of the human face (Q) because its variety is infinite (R) is a literary form (S) which is not easy to define
The proper sequence should be

A
P Q R S

B
P Q S R

C
R S Q P

D
R S P Q

Solution

R follows the subject "the essay" as it gives introductory information "is a literary form" about an essay.
S follows R as the relative pronoun "which is ..." adds extra information about the literary form.
Q follows S as the words are linked. The conjunction 'because' refers to reason "its variety is infinite" behind why "(the essay) is not easy to define"
P follows Q as the words "like that of the human face" are linked with "its variety is infinite". The former forms a comparison of the latter with a human face.
Hence the correct sequence is RSQP and option C is correct.
Options A, B and D are incorrect as they do not form a logical sequence.
Question 2
1 / -0

Study the picture and answer the question given below.
What was the boy doing in picture 17 when the phone rang?

A
The boy has a bag.

B
The boy was wearing socks.

C
The boy worn shoes.

D
The boy has been sitting.

Solution

We see four parts in this picture. Here, we have to look at the picture and find out what they were doing when the phone rang. The phone rings in all the four parts of the picture. In the first part labelled 15, a boy is taking a bath. In the second part labelled 16, two boys are playing chess. In the third part labelled 17, a boy is wearing socks. In the fourth part labelled 18, a boy is sleeping. Since the question is in the past tense, the answer should be in the same tense as well. We must look at the options and select the best answer.
Option A - 'The boy has a bag' is incorrect as having a bag doesn't indicate any action. Also, it is not in past continuous tense. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'The boy worn shoes' is grammatically incorrect as the sentence doesn't have an auxiliary verb. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'The boy has been sitting' is correct according to the picture, but that's a secondary action. The primary action is: He is wearing socks. Also, the answer given here is not in past continuous tense. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option B - Yes, the boy was wearing socks when the phone rang. The answer is in past continuous tense and the action can be seen in the third part of the picture, labelled 17. Hence, option B is correct.
Question 3
1 / -0

A

Solution

In old family trend people had less expectations. They were happy with all they have. But increase in expectations forced people to accept the change in family trend. Now days people have their own desire for which they do any thing. In old family trend things were different.
Question 4
1 / -0

Study the picture and answer the question given below.
What were the boys doing in picture 16 when the phone rang?

A
They are seeing a photo.

B
They were playing a game.

C
They had been playing a game.

D
They are eating a pizza.

Solution

We see four parts in this picture. Here, we have to look at the picture and find out what they were doing when the phone rang. The phone rings in all the four parts of the picture. In the first part labelled 15, a boy is taking a bath. In the second part labelled 16, two boys are playing chess. In the third part labelled 17, a boy is wearing socks. In the fourth part labelled 18, a boy is sleeping. Since the question is in past tense, the answer should be in the same tense too. We must look at the options and select the best answer.
Option A - 'They are seeing a photo' is incorrect, as no one in the picture is spotted seeing a photo. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'They had been playing a game' is incorrect, as we generally use the past perfect continuous tense for a long-term action. We always use simple or continuous tense to describe a picture, a book or a movie, and as the question is in past continuous tense, we must answer in the same tense. Also, we do not know the duration of their game. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - No one in the picture eats a pizza. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'They were playing a game' is correct, as we see two boys are playing chess in the second part of the picture, labelled 16. Also, the answer is in past continuous tense. Hence, option B is correct.
Question 5
1 / -0

Arrange the following parts to form a logical and meaningful sentence:
a. in two quick goals
b. moves made by
c. the courageous
d. the centre forward resulted

A
a-b-c-d

B
c-d-a-b

C
c-b-d-a

D
c-a-d-b

Solution

c is first in the sequence: c is the only phrase that starts the topic. It starts talking about something that was courageous.
c is followed by b: b tells us what that something is. It talks about the courageous moves made by someone.
b is followed by d: d tells us who that someone is. It says that the courageous moves were made by the centre forward and they resulted in something.
d is followed by a: a tells us what the courageous moves of the centre forward resulted in. It says that they resulted in two quick goals.
Finally, the correct sentence is 'The courageous moves made by the centre forward resulted in two quick goals'.
Thus, the correct sequence is c b d a. Hence, C is the correct option.

Option B - 'Football' is played with a ball and feet. In this picture, we see that the boys are playing with sticks. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Cricket' is played with a bat and a ball. Here, we see that the boys are playing with sticks and not with bats. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Volleyball' is played with hands, heads and a ball. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option A - Yes, the boys are playing 'hockey' as 'hockey' is played with a hockey stick and a ball. Hence, option A is correct.

A
The boy is standing.

B
The boy will be bathing.

C
The boy can be using soap and bathed.

D
The boy was taking a bath when the phone rang.

Solution

We see four parts in this picture. Here, we have to look at the picture and find out what they were doing when the phone rang. The phone rings in all the four parts of the picture. In the first part labelled 15, a boy is taking a bath. In the second part labelled 16, two boys are playing chess. In the third part labelled 17, a boy is wearing socks. In the fourth part labelled 18, a boy is sleeping. Since the question is in past tense, the answer should be in the same tense as well. We must look at the options and select the best answer.
Option A - We see that no one is standing when the phone rings. Also, 'The boy is standing' isn't in past tense. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'The boy will be bathing' is incorrect as the sentence is in the future tense. As the question is in the past tense, the answer should be in the past tense as well. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'The boy can be using soap and bathed' is grammatically incorrect, as 'can be using' is in the present tense and 'bathed' is past tense. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - Yes, 'The boy was taking a bath when the phone rang' is correct, as the first part of the picture, labelled 15 shows this; and also, the answer is in thepast tense. Hence, option D is correct.

Solution

We see four parts in this picture. Here, we have to look at the picture and find out what they were doing when the phone rang. The phone rings in all the four parts of the picture. In the first part labelled 15, a boy is taking a bath. In the second part labelled 16, two boys are playing chess. In the third part labelled 17, a boy is wearing socks.

Option A - No one in the picture can be spotted seeing a photo. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option C - No one in the picture can be seen reading. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option C - 'He was going to sleep' is incorrect because the boy in the picture is already asleep. So, we can say that he was sleeping when the phone rang. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option B - Yes, the boy was sleeping when the phone rang, as it can be seen in the third part of the picture, labelled 17. Also, the answer is in past continuous tense. Hence, option B is correct.
Question 9
1 / -0

Rearrange the following sentence in the correct order:
a. watch the television
b. did we have
c. the opportunity to
d. seldom

A
d-b-c-a

B
a-b-c-d

C
d-c-a-b

D
c-a-b-d

Solution

d is first in the sequence: d is the only phrase that can start the sentence as the other phrases are continuations of d's topic. It says 'seldom'.
d is followed by b: b adds to d. It gives a context to 'seldom'. It says that seldom did the subjects have something.
b is followed by c: c tells us what the subjects had. It says that seldom did the subjects have the opportunity.
c is followed by a: a continues by telling us what this opportunity was for. It says that it was the opportunity to watch television.
Finally, the correct sentence is 'Seldom did we have the opportunity to watch the television'.
Thus, the correct sequence is d b c a. Hence, A is the correct option.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the best option that rearranges the following sentence in the correct order:
a. other people
b. to speak with you
c. I want
d. but not in front of

A
c-b-d-a

B
d-c-b-a

C
c-d-a-b

D
a-b-c-d

Solution

In order to rearrange the sentence in the correct order, let's understand a bit about sentences. A sentence is made up of clauses or a clause. This sentence has a dependent clause and an independent clause. 'I want to speak to you' is an independent clause, as it has a subject, verb and an object. 'but not in front of other people' is a dependent clause, as a dependent clause usually begins with a conjunction, it doesn't have a subject and if we separate it from the independent clause, the sentence remains incomplete.
Hence the correct answer is A (c-b-d-a)- I want to speak to you but not in front of other people. Here, the clauses are combined with a conjunction (but) and it makes complete sense.
Option B is incorrect- d-c-b-a, because starting a sentence with a conjunction of a dependent clause is grammatically incorrect. Also, 'but not in front of others I want...' changes the place of subject, as well as clauses.
Option C is incorrect - c-d-a-b, because the independent clause is jumbled with the dependent clause, which makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option D is incorrect - a-b-c-d, because the clauses are jumbled and the subject and objects are not in place, which makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
