  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable verb.

    Everybody ____ here for you.
    Solution
    Subject-verb agreement is basically an agreement between the subject and the verb, in a sentence. "The subject must agree with the verb in number (singular or plural)." If the subject is singular, then the verb must be singular, for example: The dog is barking. (dog is singular, 'is' is a singular verb)
    When the subject is plural, the verb also must be plural, for example: The dogs are barking. (dogs are plural, 'are' is a plural verb)
    The subject in the given sentence is "everybody", (the subject is that thing or person that performs the action of the verb). 'Everybody' is a pronoun that refers to every body, or every person. It is singular, hence the verb that follows will also be singular.
    From the options, 'is' is a singular verb whereas 'are' is a plural verb. (Consider the given examples.) The singular verb 'is' agrees with the singular subject 'everybody'. Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
    When 'has' is used as the main verb, it means 'to possess or own something'. When placed in the given sentence, it does not express a complete thought: Hence option C is incorrect.
    'Have' is the plural form of 'has'; neither does it agree with the subject, nor is it relevant in meaning here (the same as 'has'). Hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable verb:

    Either Heather or Jack _______ that bus daily.
    Solution
    When two subjects are connected by 'either..or', the verb has to be in agreement with the subject closest to it. So, the verb number will concord with 'Jack' (which is singular) and the answer will be the singular verb 'takes'.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]Read the passage and accordingly, fill in the blank with a suitable modal:
    [/passage-header]

    If they do so, they ___(8)___ declare them at the checking counter.
    They ___(9)___ get into unnecessary trouble this way.

    ...view full instructions

    ___(7)___ not take more foreign exchange with them.
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer because need is used to express necessity.
    We use 'need' mostly in the negative form to indicate that there is no obligation or necessity to do something, as in this case.
    Option B and C are incorrect because they are in the past tense where as the statement is made in the future tense. 
    Option D is incorrect because may is used to express possibility or to grant permission, which is not the case in  this statement.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill the blank with an appropriate modal that denotes a conclusion:
    You ____ be mad to do this.
    Solution
    The option B is correct. Must is used to denote conclusion to be the most logical or rational interpretation of the situation. While can, could be is used in terms expressing ability/lack of ability. Should is used to denote polite suggestion or advice. 
    Thus the sentence would become:
    You must be mad to do this.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]The following note comes from an army booklet: "Advice to New Recruits".
    Read the note and accordingly, fill in the blank:
    [/passage-header]
    Welcome to Ranor Baracks!
    You ___1___ have your hair cut very short in the first month.
    After that you ___2___ grow it longer

    you ___9___ go out on weekends.
    Before joining you __10__ have a medical check up.
    You ___11___ also have a check-up at least once a year during service.

    ...view full instructions

    You ____1___ have your hair cut very short in the first month, 
    Solution
    The correct answer is option A because 'must' expresses compulsion or strong obligation which is true here because following the rule of short hair is a necessity.
    Option B is incorrect because 'can' is used to express ability or to give to permission,which is not correct in this case as it is not a choice.
    Option C is incorrect because 'would' is used in the future tense.
    Option D is incorrect because 'could' is the past tense of can. It is used to talk about ability that existed in the past.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal that denotes a threat.
    He has lost your book and he ____ not tell you.
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answer because 'dare' means  to be brave enough to do something difficult or dangerous , or to be rude or silly enough to do something that you have no right to do. In this case, confessing about the lost book is a daring task to be done, and so the speaker says he will not be able to dare to.
    Option A, B and D are incorrect because 'must', 'should' and 'need' are used to make a suggestion(should) or when something is required to be done (must and need) , which is not correct here because that means it is not needed to confess. 
     

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate modal:
    You _______ have written to him yesterday itself.
    Solution
    Option B: The modal verb 'ought to' refers to a duty or correctness, usually when criticizing someone's actions. It agrees to the given sentence in meaning. The speaker criticizes 'you' for not having written to 'him'. Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Need' refers to a necessity. The meaning doesn't agree here.
    Option C: 'Dare' refers to an action that someone is 'bold enough to do'. The sentence does not present any action that sounds bold.
    Option D: 'Will' refers to a future tense, whereas the action here is in relation to the past.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
    (Note: As a semi-modal verb, 'ought' is always written with 'to'. The other semi-modals too, 'need to', 'dare to', used to', appear in the same form. But these verbs 'need, dare, used' are applied without 'to', when not functioning as modal verbs.)
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal that denotes certainty: 

    You _____ come and have dinner with me.
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer because 'must' expresses compulsion or strong obligation. It is much stronger than 'should', it can also express probability or likelihood, as in this case.
    Option C and D are wrong because 'need' and 'ought' are used to express duty, necessity, or  moral obligation which is not correct here. They are followed by 'to'.
    Option B is incorrect because 'dare' means  to ask someone to do something that involves risk, which is not correct here.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Book and buttons ___5___ be polished daily.
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answer because 'must' expresses compulsion or a strong obligation as polishing is a necessity.
    Option A is incorrect because 'can' is used to express ability or probability which is not correct here because polishing is a necessary rule and not a choice.
    Option B is incorrect because 'will' is used to talk about the future – to say what we believe will happen, or to talk about what people want to do or are willing to do or to make promises and offers, which is not correct in this case.
    Option D is incorrect because 'shall' is used to make offers and suggestions, and to ask for advice, which is not correct here. 

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Before joining you __10__ have a medical check up.
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answer because 'must' expresses compulsion or strong obligation which is correct here because getting a medical check up is compulsory.
    Option A is incorrect because 'can' is used to express ability to do something or is used to give permission, which is not correct here because getting a medial check up is necessary and not a choice, and is definitely doable.
    Option B and D are incorrect because they are in the past tense.
