B
"Open Page $$53$$ of Your Book," said Mrs. Sen

C
"Open Page $$53$$ of your Book," said Mrs. Sen.

D
"Open page $$53$$ of your book," said Mrs. Sen.

Solution

NOTE: Here, the direct speech is before the word 'said', therefore we should put it in double inverted commas.
Option A - "Said Mrs Sen" is not the direct speech and thus it should not be in double inverted commas. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B - Every word of the direct speech should not begin with capital letters. Also, the sentence should end with a full stop. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Book' is not a proper noun, hence it should not be capitalized. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - The direct speech is written in double inverted commas and the sentence ends with a full stop. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
"Open page 53 of your book," said Mrs. Sen.
Question 3
1 / -0

Select the sentence with correct punctuation marks.
monali said I have come first in the race.

A
Monali said, "I have come first in the Race.

B
Monali said, "I have come First in the race."

C
Monali said, "I have come first in the race."

D
Monali said, "I have come first in the race?"

Solution

NOTE: As the given sentence is in the direct speech, we will put the direct speech in double inverted commas.
Option A - In the case of direct speech, the spoken sentence should start and end with double inverted commas. As the given sentence doesn't end in double inverted commas. Also, 'race' is not a proper noun and hence it shouldn't be capitalised. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - As 'first' is not a proper noun, 'F' shouldn't be capitalised here, Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option D - The direct speech is a simple sentence and not a question, thus a question mark can't be used here. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option C - The direct speech is written in double inverted commas and ends with a full stop. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
Monali said, "I have come first in the race.'
Question 4
1 / -0

Select the correctly punctuated version of the following sentence:
i invited mr ram kumar ias as a chief guest.

A
I invited Mr. Ram Kumar Ias as a chief guest.

B
I invited Mr. Ram Kumar IAS as a chief guest.

C
I invited Mr. Ram Kumar, IAS, as a chief guest.

D
I invited Mr. ram Kumar IAS as a chief guest.

Solution

While punctuating a sentence it is important to capitalize the first letter of the sentence. Also, it is important to capitalize the proper nouns such as the name of a person, place or organization. In the given sentence, ‘Ram’ which is the first name of the person is a proper noun and therefore the first letter of the name should be in uppercase. Therefore option D is incorrect. Similarly, we should capitalize an all the letters in an acronym since it is formed by putting the initials of words it abbreviates together; also the acronym functions as a name. Thus, ‘IAS’ is the correct form. Therefore option A is incorrect. Further, we use a comma to set off the title or qualification from someone’s name and the clause that follows it, to avoid misreading. Therefore we need to set apart the title - ‘IAS’ in the sentence by adding a comma, before and after the acronym, to avoid misreading and confusion. Therefore option C is correct while option B is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Select the sentence with correct punctuation marks.
my favourite movie is the Jurassic park.

A
My favourite movie is the Jurassic Park

B
My favourite movie is the Jurassic Park.

C
My Favourite Movie is the Jurassic Park?

D
My favourite movie is the Jurassic Park!

Solution

Option A - The given sentence is a simple sentence, which can never end without a punctuation (full stop). As the given sentence has no full stop, it is a wrong choice. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - We only used a question mark after questions and not after a general statement. Also, as 'Jurassic Park' is the name of the movie, it shouldn't be written in single inverted commas. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - We use the exclamation mark when we express a strong emotion. The given sentence is a general statement and is not about exclaiming. Also, as 'Jurassic Park' is the name of the movie, it shouldn't be written in single inverted commas. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option B - This sentence ends with a full stop. Thus 'My favourite movie is the Jurassic Park is the correct choice. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
My favourite movie is the Jurassic Park.
Question 6
1 / -0

Capitalize the letters in the given sentence, where necessary:
i graduated from the university of mumbai.

A
NO CHANGE

B

C

D

Solution

Capital letter is used to start a sentence. It is also used for proper nouns where names of people, specific places and things are capitalized. Here, 'University of Mumbai' is a proper noun. Thus option C is correct according to the rules.
Question 7
1 / -0

Identify the suitable punctuation(s) for the given sentence:
Inspite of being sick she reported to work

A
, and ?

B
, and !

C
, and .

D
.

Solution

According to general rule, a period is used to mark an end to a complete sentence. A comma is used to generate a pause, which is required in the given sentence. Thus, the correct answer is Option C.
The remaining options are incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Select the sentence with correct punctuation marks.
I found mitas lost bag.

A
I found Mita's lost bag.

B
I Found Mita's Lost Bag.

C
I found Mitas lost bag!

D
I found Mita's lost bag?

Solution

Option B - All the words in the given sentence are not proper nouns and hence only 'Mita's' should have a capital 'M'. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Mitas' is incorrect, as to show someone's possession we use an apostrophe and an 'S'. For example, 'Rahul's office is neat and clean.' Also, the sentence is a simple sentence and not an exclamatory sentence. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - The given sentence is not a question and hence we can't use a question mark here. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'Mita's' is used appropriately to show the ownership of her 'lost bag'. Also, the sentence ends with a full stop. Hence, option A is the correct answer,
'I found Mita's lost bag.'
Question 9
1 / -0

Identify the suitable punctuation(s) for the given sentence:
Good Lord What a fantastic performance

A
, and !

B
. and !

C
! and !

D
? and !

Solution

The above sentence will have Option C, “! And !” as the correct answer.

The statement above, clearly has two different sentences. The first one “Good Lord” being a phrase, that is said as an exclamation, on seeing something that requires an expression of surprise, like seeing something beautiful. The second part of the sentence states about a performance, which was fantastic in nature according to the speaker. The second part of the dialogue begins with “What…”, in an exclamation.
Thus, as both, the phrase and the sentence are said in an exclamation, Option C will be the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the sentence with correct punctuation marks among the options given.
Hari my brother is about to reach mumbai.

A
hari my brother, is about to reach Mumbai!

B
Hari, my brother, is about to reach Mumbai.

C
Hari, my brother is about to reach mumbai.

D
Hari, my Brother is about to reach Mumbai:

Solution

We use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause. In the given sentence, the fact that Hari is the narrator's brother is not really essential to complete the meaning of the sentence. That is the reason why 'my brother' has been separated by a pair of commas. The sentence also promptly ends with a full stop and the proper nouns are correctly capitalized. Hence option B is the sentence with the correct punctuations.
Option A is incorrect because of the incorrect usage of the exclamation mark as we usually use it to indicate an exclamative clause or expression in informal writing. Also the proper noun 'Hari' is not capitalized correctly and the sentence is lacking a comma after the proper noun.
Option C is incorrect because 'Mumbai' is not capitalized and there should be a comma after 'my brother' to indicate a short pause.
Option D is incorrect as the word 'brother' is unnecessarily capitalized, the sentence is lacking a comma after 'my brother' and the sentence is ending with a colon which is generally used between two main clauses in cases where the second clause explains or follows from the first.
