  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    I'm so excited that we are going to London!
    The above sentence is an example of _________ sentence.
    Solution
    Since joy is conveyed, an exclamatory mark is used and Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express joy hence incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence:
    is | reading | good | a | habit
    Solution
    Normal sentences in active voice begin with the subject, followed by the verb. Among the given jumbled words, there are two nouns, which can act as a subject viz. 'reading' (a gerund) and 'habit'. 
    'Good' is an adjective which can describe the noun, 'habit' but not the gerund, 'reading'. Hence, the phrase 'good habit' is acceptable. But, 'good reading' is not an acceptable or meaningful phrase. Hence, the sequences in options A and D do not make meaningful sentences. Options A and D are incorrect. 
    Option B: The full stop at the end of the sentence indicates this is an assertive sentence. An assertive sentence does not usually start with the word 'Is'; Only interrogative sentences start with 'Is'. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
    Option C: This sequence follows the subject-verb pattern. 'Reading' is the subject. The verb is 'is. 'Good habit' is the predicate. The sentence is meaningful. Option C is correct.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence :
    important | it | to | is | rules | observe | traffic 
    Solution
    Among the given words, we find the word, 'to' and the infinitive form of the verb, 'observe'. (the infinitive is the basic form of the verb without any change. These two words go together i.e 'to observe' is a phrase. 
    Option A: In this sentence, the subject of the sentence is, 'it'. The word, 'is' is the verb, important' is the. When 'to+ infinitive' is used after an adjective, it describes or provides the reason for the adjective. If we ask the question- 'What is important?', the answer is given by the phrase, 'to observe traffic rules. Hence, 'It is important to observe traffic rules in grammatically correct and meaningful. Option A is the correct answer.
    Option B: The phrase, 'to observe traffic rules', when used in the beginning of the sentence means, 'In order to observe traffic rules'. Such a phrase has to be followed by the explanation of what one must to do in order to observe traffic rules. However, the given sentence, 'To observe traffic rules, it is important' is incomplete as it does not explain what is important. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
    Option C: The phrase, 'Traffic rules to observe' is grammatically incorrect as there is no verb following the noun 'traffic rules'. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
    Option D: The phrase, 'It is to observe' is grammatically incorrect as 'It is' has to be followed by an adjective. It cannot be followed by 'to+infinitive. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate word.
    The old man was _____ weak to open the door
    Solution
    Here, the sentence indicates anything negatively in a degree more than is permissible. Hence Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not express the negative connotation, hence incorrect. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence :
    activity | fats | the body |provide | energy | to drive | with
    Solution
    In a sentence in active voice, the order of the words is as follows: The subject followed by the verb, which is followed by the object.
    The subject of a sentence should be a noun/ noun phrase. Among the given words, the nouns are: 'Fats' and 'body'. The verb is 'provide'. We know that when the noun is plural, the verb does not contain the letter 's'. 'Fats' is a plural noun. Hence, the subject (doer of the action) is 'fats'. Hence, the subject of the sentence is: 'Fats' and the sentence begins with this word. Among the given options, C and D are incorrect as they do not begin with the word, 'Fats'. 

    Both the options A and B start with the phrase, 'Fats provide the body'. When we ask the question, 'What do they provide the body with?'; The answer is 'with energy'. Hence, this phrase has to be followed by the words, 'with energy'. Why is energy required? The answer is provided by the phrase, 'to drive activity'. Hence, the sequence: 'Fats provide the body with energy to drive activity' forms a meaningful sentence. Option B is correct.
    Option A is incorrect as 'Fats provide with the body to drive energy activity' does not convey any meaning. Hence, this is incorrect. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence :
    physics lab | gone | He | has | to
    Solution
    An assertive sentence in the active voice usually follows the format: Subject + verb+ object. Among the jumbled words, the noun/ pronoun which can be the subject of the given sentence are: 'He' and 'physics lab'. The verb among the jumbled words is: 'has gone'. 
    The possible sentences which can be formed are: 'He has gone', and 'Physics lab has gone'. While the first sentence is grammatically correct and meaningful; The second sentence does not convey any meaning. 
    Let us take the sentence, 'He has gone'. Where has he gone?' The answer is: 'to the physics lab'. Hence the correct sentence is 'He has gone to the physics lab'. Option C is correct.
    Option B: The sentence, 'To physics lab, he has gone' is grammatically incorrect as an assertive sentence in the active voice usually starts with the subject. Hence, option B is incorrect. 
    Option C: 'Has he gone to physics lab' is a question and has to end with a question mark. The given sentence ends with a full stop. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
    Option D: The sentence, 'Gone to physics lab he has' ends with the phrase, 'He has'. This is incomplete and conveys no meaning because there is no verb after the auxiliary (has). Further, the sentence begins with the verb, which is grammatically incorrect. Hence, this option is incorrect. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Complete the following by adding the appropriate imperative:

    Sara: I want to give you some blueberries.
    Rhea: ____ I'm allergic to them.
    Solution
    "Alas!" and "Ugh!" are exclamations that would turn the given sentence into an exclamatory sentence. Therefore options A and C are incorrect. 

    Commands either encourage actions (affirmative) or discourage it (negative). A negative can be shortened to a simple one-word sentence. "Don't" is one example of a one-word command when used in the given sentence (a contraction of "Do not give me the blueberries"). Therefore option D is incorrect while option B is correct.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    What a fool I am!
    The above sentence is an _________ sentence.
    Solution

    Since extreme fatigue is conveyed, an exclamatory mark is used and Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express fatigue, hence incorrect.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Following are some jumbled words. 
    Select the option which rearranges them meaningfully.
    off $$|$$ when $$|$$ will $$|$$ the $$|$$ aeroplane $$|$$ take $$|$$?
    Solution
    The form of an interrogative sentence is "questioning word+  do verb+ subject + main verb + preposition or qualifier. Hence, Option B, that is, "When will the aeroplane take off?" is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this structure, hence incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the appropriate words:

    Urvashi ___ fiction. She is a ____.
    Solution
    The first blank requires a present tense form of the verb, the second requires a noun form of it. Hence, Option A is correct. the rest of the options do not refer to the correct form, hence incorrect.
