  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the best option from the options given below to complete the sentence:
    There's a programme on television that I want to watch.  _____ in five minutes.
    Solution
    The given sentence mentions a programme which is going to start shortly in the near future, ie. in five minutes time.
    Option C is the appropriate option to complete the given sentence because Option C expresses the use of simple future tense. Simple future tense is used to indicate an action which is going to start in the near future. Here, the programme is going to start in 'five minutes'.

    Option A expresses the use of simple present tense, but simple present tense is used to indicate a habit, a universal truth or a fact, which is not the case in the given sentence. Therefore, Option A gets ruled out.
    Option B expresses the use of present continuous tense, but present continuous tense is used to indicate an action which is continuing at the given point of time. In the given sentence, the action, ie. the programme, has not yet started.
    Option D expresses the use of simple past tense, but simple past tense is used to express an action which happened / occurred in the past. In the given sentence, the action, ie. the programme, has not yet started.

    Therefore, the complete sentence is: There's a programme on television that I want to watch. It will start in five minutes.

    Choose an appropriate verb for blank [3]:
    Solution
    Option B - As the given passage is in the simple present tense, we can't use 'separated', as it is the past form of the verb 'separate'. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'She' is the third person singular subject, which requires the verb in the singular form too. 'Separate' is the plural form of the verb. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Has separated' is used to define the action in the present perfect tense. As we need the verb in the simple present tense, we can't use 'has separated' here. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'Separates' is the singular form of the verb which is used with the third person singular subject 'she'. It also defines the sentence in the simple present tense. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
    'She separates the useful components from useless ones.'

    Choose an appropriate verb for blank [5]:
    Solution
    NOTE: Though the blank is after 'substances', the subject of the sentence is 'she'.
    Option A - 'Be' means to exist. We need a 'be' verb in the simple present tense and not 'be'. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Was' is used in the past tense. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Been' is the past participle form of 'be' which is used in perfect tenses. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Is' is used in the simple present tense. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
    'So, she works on the principle that separation of substances is necessary to get useful components.'
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct future form of the verb from the given options.
    Lilia ___________ home in time for dinner tonight.
    Solution
    Option A - 'Isn't' is the auxiliary verb which is used to represent present tense. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Isn't being' is used to represent the action in present continuous tense. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Not' is used after the auxiliaries/helping verbs, for example, 'Can't, shouldn't' etc. Though 'not will be' represents future tense, it is hence grammatically incorrect. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Won't be' is used to represent the sentence in the simple future tense. 'Not' is used to make the sentence negative here. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
    'Lilia won't be home in time for dinner tonight.'

    Choose an appropriate verb for blank [2]:
    Solution
    Option B - As the given passage is in simple present tense, we can't use the verb in the past form. 'Peeled' is the past form of the verb 'peel'. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Is peeling' is the participle form of the verb 'peel', which is used in the present continuous tense. As we need the verb to describe the sentence in the simple present tense, we can't use 'is peeling' here. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Shall peel' is used to define the action of the subject in the future tense. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'Peels' is the singular form of the verb which can be used with the third person singular subject 'she'. Also, it defines the sentence in simple present tense. Thus option A is the correct answer.
    'She peels the skin of fruits like banana, oranges, apples, etc., before serving them.'
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using correct form of the verb:
    Lack of iodine________ goitre. 
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer because 'cause' here is used as a verb, and "causes' is the third person present form of the verb which means to make happen, hence it is correct.
    Option B is incorrect because it is a noun and not a verb.
    Option C is incorrect because 'in causing' is to be followed by a "to".
    Option D is incorrect because "is caused" is in the past tense while the statement is in present.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the best option from the options given below to complete the sentence:
    'When you see Ann, can you ask her to phone me?' 'Sure, _____ her.'
    Solution
    The simple future tense is used to express an action that will occur or happen in the future. The format for simple future tense - will + base form of the verb. 
    'Ask' is the base form of the verb 'ask. 
    Thus, option C is the correct answer according to the rules. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using the correct tense form:
    Proteins ________ carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
    Solution
    The verb, 'contain' means 'have or hold (someone or something) within'. The given sentence is a factual statement. The simple present tense is used to express general truths/ facts. 
    Option B is in present continuous tense. Option D is in simple past tense. Hence these options are incorrect. 
    Of the given options, A and C are in simple present tense. Option A is incorrect as the word 'contains', with the letter 's' is used with a singular subject. The subject, 'proteins' is in plural form. The simple present tense form of the verb, when used along with a plural subject, will not have the letter 's'. Hence, option C is correct.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using correct form of the verb:
    I _________ at the swimming pool at 7:00 a.m., yesterday morning.
    Solution
    The words, 'yesterday morning' indicates that the verb in the sentence is in past tense.
    Option A is incorrect as 'am being' is a verb in present continuous tense. 
    Option B is incorrect as 'am' is a verb in simple present tense. 
    Options C: The verb 'was being' is in past continuous time. Past continuous tense is used to denote an action, which was going on at some time in the past. It cannot indicate an action which happened at a particular time of 7.00 a.m. in the past. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
    Option D: The verb 'was' is in simple past tense. The simple past tense is used to indicate an action completed in the past. The particular time, 7.00 a.m., indicates the time when the action happened in the past. Hence, this option is correct. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence.
    I ______ to Srinagar this weekend. I have got my flight tickets and hotel reservation.
    Solution
    The clue for the answer is in the second sentence. The words, "have+got" ('got' is the past participle of the verb 'get') in the second sentence convey that it is in present perfect tense. It conveys that certain travel arrangements (booking flights and reserving hotels) have been made. This suggests that the first sentence talks about a travel which is yet to happen. Hence, the first sentence is in future tense. 

    Option A: The present continuous form, "I am travelling" refers to the future due to the words, "this weekend". It indicates that the speaker has already decided to travel to Srinagar this weekend.  Hence, this option is correct.
    Option B: The phrase "I travel" is in simple present tense which conveys that the speaker regularly travels. This cannot refer to a future event which is to happen at a specific time i.e "this weekend". Hence, this option is incorrect. 
    Option C: The phrase, "I going to travel" is grammatically incorrect as the auxiliary verb, "am" is missing. The correct usage would be: "I am going to travel". Hence, this option is incorrect.
    Option D: The phrase, "I would travelling" is grammatically incorrect as the auxiliary verb, "be" is missing. The correct usage would be: "I would be travelling". Hence, this option is incorrect.
