Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with suitable modal.
One _____ obey one's parents.

A
can

B
must

C
shall

D
might

Solution

Option B is the correct answer because 'must' expresses compulsion or strong obligation, as in this case, obeying parents is an obligation.
Option A is incorrect because 'can' express ability to do something which does not make sense in this context.
Option C and D are incorrect because they are used to express probability, which is incorrect in this case, as obeying parents is a priority and not a choice or probability.

A
been

B
be

C
is

D
being

Solution

A modal is a type of auxiliary verb that is used to express : ability, possibility or obligation.
The given sentence needs to fulfill the structure in order to support the modal verb to make general statements about what is possible, i.e. modal verb (can) + be + past participle (used).
Option B is the correct answer because "be" is the only supporting word that goes with modal verb "can" to express ability in the given sentence. Whereas, option A, C and D do not support the modal verb.

You..........pack a gas stove,

A
needn't

B
couldn't

C
shouldn't

D
mustn't
Solution
The auxiliary "need", denoting necessity or obligation, can be conjugated with or without 'do'. When conjugated without 'do', it has no -s and -ed forms and is used with an infinitive without 'to' only in negative and interrogative sentences and in sentences that contain semi- negative words like 'scarcely' or ' hardly'.
(A) needn't - suggests that it is not necessary to pack a gas stove.

The neem tree is native to India and _1_ found all over the country.

A
was

B
is

C
are

D
were

Solution

The given incomplete sentence in this passage needs an auxiliary "be" verb in the formation of passive present sentence. Therefore, Option B the correct answer. Whereas, option A contains past form of verb, option C contains plural verb which does not go with singular subject and option D contains past form of plural verb. Therefore, option B, having a present form of singular verb, completes the given sentence appropriately.

over the country. For centuries it has _2_ known as a highly

A
be

B
being

C
been

D
is

Solution

When we use modal verbs to talk about the past, they are followed by a perfect infinitive, i.e. Have/Has + past participle.
The given sentence needs perfect infinitive to complete.
Option C is correct because been is the past participle form of verb, whereas option A, B and D do not contain past participle form of verb.
Question 6
1 / -0

In the following sentence supply a verb in agreement with its subject.

That night everyone at the party _____ ill.

A
Were

B
Are

C
Is

D
Was

Solution

The sentence mentions that the event or incident happened 'that night' which means it is in the past. So, we can eliminate options B) and C). This leaves the options A) and D). For the word 'everyone', we need to use a singular verb form. Therefore, the correct answer is option D) was.
Question 7
1 / -0

In the following sentence supply a verb in agreement with its subject.

The ebb and flow of the tides ______ explained by Newton. [Advanced]

A
Was

B
Were

C
Has

D
Have

Solution

'Ebb and flow' is a compound subject with the coordinating conjunction 'and.' Compound subjects joined by 'and' are usually treated as plural and need plural verbs. However, in this sentence, 'ebb and flow' is considered as a single unit or entity, hence it is treated as a singular subject and requires a singular verb. So, the correct option is A) was.
Options C and D do not result in grammatically correct sentences.
Question 8
1 / -0

Question 9
1 / -0

In the following sentence, fill in the blank with a verb in agreement with its subject.

The cost of all these articles _______ risen. [Advanced]

A
Have

B
Has

C
Has been

D
Are

Solution

Has is used with a third singular person ("he", "she", "it", or a noun) i.e. when the subject is singular but it is neither the person who is writing/speaking ("I") or the person who's reading/listening ("you").
Have is used for the third person plural. Example: They have a car.
Are is used when there are two or more things/names that are connected by 'and'. Has been is incorrect because the word following the blank is 'risen', and 'been risen' is incorrect grammatically.
So, the correct answer is option B) has.
Question 10
1 / -0

In the following sentence supply a verb in agreement with its subject.

One or the other of those fellows _____ stolen the watch.

A
Has

B
Have

C
Is

D
Are

Solution

'Stolen' indicates that the activity occurred in the past. So, options C) and D) can be eliminated. The phrase 'one or the other' can be considered to be singular so the correct answer is option A) has.
