Types of Sentences Test - 5

While framing any sentence, the basic rule is - Subject + verb + object (if any). 'Sheila' is the subject, 'late' is an adverb and 'work' is the direct object. 'Often' is an adverb of frequency. The rule says that if a sentence has one verb, place the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence so that it is positioned after the subject but before the verb. Thus, according to the rule, option A is the correct answer per the rule as the given sentence is correct and requires no correction.

Option A is the correct answer because the passage describes about the importance of Vitamin D. Thus, ‘vitamin D’ is the most appropriate word for the given sentence.
Option B is incorrect because the passage describes about the importance of Vitamin D which is not a protein. Thus, option B is not the appropriate answer.
Option C is incorrect because the passage describes about the importance of Vitamin D which is not a cell. Thus, option C is not the appropriate answer.
Option D is incorrect because although Vitamin D is a hormone, the passage emphasizes upon ‘Vitamin D’. Thus, option D is not the right answer.

The most appropriate word for blank (9) in the passage is Option B, “infants.”

The blank speaks about deformity formed in the bones. This might refer to a category in general and not to anyone in particular. Thus, the only word which describes a plural common noun/ group is the word ‘infants.’, which is Option B.

All the other options “child”, “young” and “boy” are singular nouns, which cannot be used for the above blank and hence do not match the blank.

While framing any sentence, the basic rule is - Subject + verb + object (if any). 'I' is the subject, 'read' is the verb and 'newspaper' is the direct object. 'Daily' is the adverb of time which expresses an exact number of times the action happens usually work best at the end of a sentence. Thus, according to the rule, the given sentence is correct and no change is required so option B is the correct answer. 

The most appropriate word for blank (10) in the passage is Option A, “Sunlight.”

The blank speaks about the exposure to something that will help physically and in a medicinal way. From the given options, “sunlight” is the only suitable word as it possesses healing powers and also is a source of Vitamin D.

Option B, Sunlights, is grammatically a wrong word and does not exist, while “ray” and “lights” do not possess any kind of quality, to be exposed to.

Thus, Option A is the correct answer.

Option A is the right answer because ‘chop’ means ‘to cut into pieces with knife’. The sentence describes that to make a curry, few onions, a potato, and a small piece of ginger.
Option B is the incorrect because ‘strip’ means ‘to remove or a long narrow piece’. ‘Strip’ is not an appropriate word for the sentence as the meaning is incorrect for this context.
Option C is incorrect because ‘saw’ means ‘to see’. The word grammatically inappropriate for the sentence and also doesn’t complete the meaning.
Option D is incorrect because ‘bite’ means ‘to cut with teeth’. According to the sentence to make a curry, the vegetables have to be cut but ‘bite’ is incorrect for this context.

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

The basic order of words in a sentence is: subject + verb + object.
A sentence may not contain an object, depending on the verb. Transitive verbs like 'appear', 'die', etc do not require objects.
To this basic structure, different elements can be added. For example, noun phrases, adjective phrases, subject complements, types of clauses and so on.
Option C: The structure in this sentence complies with the basic structure:
subject (Sheena) + main verb (is) + subject complement (my English teacher).
Hence C is correct.
Option A: The complement has taken the place of the subject and vice versa. Hence this isn't the correct order.
Option B: Similarly, the order of words here isn't correct either. The error lies in 'Sheena English'. (a proper noun is not followed by an adjective of nationality)
Option D: The order is a jumble of words which do not form a coherent meaning.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.

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

The basic order of words in a sentence is: subject + verb + object.
In an interrogative sentence, the order is slightly altered. A question word (who, what, why, etc.) precedes the subject. If there is a helping verb along with the main verb, then it comes after the question word and before the subject.
To this basic structure, different elements can be added. For example, noun phrases, adjective phrases, subject complements, types of clauses and so on.
Option C: The structure in this sentence complies with the basic structure:
subject (Whose house) + main verb (is) + determiner (this). 'Whose' is an interrogative adjective that modifies the noun 'house'.
Hence C is correct.
Option A: The order does not create a meaningful sentence. 'Whose' takes over as the subject and does not create a complete meaning.
Option B: The order is a jumble of words which do not form a coherent meaning.
Option D: The order has been altered, the subject 'whose' takes the position of the object and vice versa.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
