Question 1
1 / -0

Reorder the given phrases to make a meaningful sentence and select the correct options:
P. in Johannesburg
Q. Nelson Mandela stands
R. in front of the entrance to
S. a statue of
T. Mandela Shopping square

A
S-Q-T-P-R

B
S-T-P-R-Q

C
S-Q-R-T-P

D
S-R-T-P-Q

Solution

The subject usually goes before the verb. The object usually goes after the verb. The subject can be expanded by using an adjectival phrase, like "a statue of Nelson Mandela". The verb is "stands". The preposition "in front of" comes before the object it modifies, which is, "the entrance to Mandela Shopping Square". Therefore, the full sentence is "A statue of Nelson Mandela stands in front of the entrance to Mandela Shopping Square". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Reorder the given phrases to make a meaningful sentence and select the correct option:
P. the centre
Q. of Cape Town
R. is located at
S. the northern end
T. of the peninsula

A
S-T-P-Q-R

B
T-S-R-Q-P

C
Q-R-S-T-P

D
P-Q-R-S-T
Question 3
1 / -0

Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence:
am | I | when | to | return | supposed | the | book | ?

A
When I am to return the supposed book?

B
Am I to return the supposed book when?

C
I am to return when the supposed book?

D
When am I supposed to return the book?

Solution

The presence of a question mark tells us that the given sentence is an interrogative sentence, with the question word, 'When'. An interrogative sentence usually begins with the question word, followed by inversion of the verb and subject. 'I' is the subject, which is usually followed by the verb 'am'. Instead of 'I am' (as used in a declarative sentence), an interrogative sentence begins with the phrase, 'When am I'.
The word, 'supposed' means 'expected to'. It is used as a predicative adjective (i.e it follows the noun it modifies) and it is followed by an infinitive (to+verb). The main verb is 'return'. Hence, we have the sequence: 'When am I supposed to return'. The final word is 'book', which is the object of the sentence. Hence, the correct interrogative sentence is: 'When am I supposed to return the book?', as given in option D.
Option A: Here, the word, 'supposed' precedes the noun. However, it cannot act as an adjective to the noun, 'book'. The phrase, 'supposed book' conveys no meaning. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Further, the phrase, 'I am' is not used in an interrogative sentence. Due to inversion of verb and subject, the phrase to be used is 'am I'. In both, options A and C, this error is noted.
Options B & C: The question word (when) usually is placed in the beginning of the sentence before the verb. In option B, it is placed at the end, which is incorrect. In option C, it is placed in the middle after the verb, 'return'. Hence, options B and C are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence:
great / each / has / many / continent / rivers

A
Each continent has many great rivers.

B
Many great rivers has each continent.

C
Great rivers has many each continent.

D
Each has many great continent rivers.

Solution

The structure of an assertive sentence should be adjective+ subject + verb+ adjective+ object. Hence Option A, that is, "Each continent has many great rivers." is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the appropriate option.
He was ________ my hand so tightly that I could not pull it away.

A
catching

B
holding

C
seizing

D
carrying

Solution

Since the sentence implies grasping something for a long time, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not refer to grasping, hence incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence :
water | the baby | in the | here | plays | and | sits

A
Here the baby sits and plays in the water.

B
In the water plays the baby and sits here.

C
The baby plays and sits in the here water.

D
The baby sits and plays in the water here.

Solution

The words, 'here' and 'in the water' are adverbs of place. Adverbs of place are usually positioned at the end of the sentence.
In options A and B, these adverbs are placed at the beginning of the sentence. Hence, options A and B are incorrect.
The preposition, 'in' is used to show where something is, whether inside a room, a container, building, vehicle, or some space, area, city or country. Eg: In the box, in the room, in the air, in the water, in a book, etc. The words, 'in the' is followed by a noun. In option C, the phrase, 'in the here' is mentioned. This phrase conveys no meaning and is grammatically incorrect. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D: The sentence follows the format: Subject (The baby) followed by the verb (sits and plays). Both the adverbs of place ('in the water' and 'here') are placed at the end of the sentence. This sequence is grammatically correct and forms a meaningful sentence. Hence, option D is correct.
Question 7
1 / -0

Reorder the given phrases to make a meaningful sentence and select the correct option:
P. this is
Q. most important
R. amongst the
S. of the century
T. inventions and discoveries

A
P-R-Q-T-S

B
P-Q-R-S-T

C
P-R-T-S-Q

D
P-T-S-R-Q

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
We are to choose the correct arrangement of phrases that makes a grammatically correct sentence.
'THIS IS AMONGST THE MOST IMPORTANT INVENTIONS AND DISCOVERIES OF THE CENTURY' is the correct sentence that can be formed from the given phrases.
Therefore the correct arrangement of phrases will be P-R-Q-T-S and hence option A is the correct option.
Question 8
1 / -0

Reorder the given phrases to make a meaningful sentence and select the correct option:
P. and then relaxes
Q. washes dishes, does
R. she cooks,
S. her homework

A
P-S-Q-R

The correct answer is Option B.
We are to choose the correct arrangement of phrases that makes a grammatically correct sentence.
'SHE COOKS, WASHES DISHES, DOES HER HOMEWORK AND THEN RELAXES' is the correct sentence that can be formed from the given phrases.
Thus the correct arrangement of phrases is R-Q-S-P and hence Option B is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

A
Don't play go out or in the sun.

B
In the sun don't go out play or.

C
Don't go out or play in the sun.

D
Don't play go or out in the sun.

Solution

The structure of an assertive sentence should be subject+ modal verb+ main verb+ object. Hence Option C, that is, "Don't go out or play in the sun." is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.

1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
"Are _____ your course?"
"Yes, I'm enjoying it very much."

A

B
