    ...view full instructions

    Fill in blank (b) with a suitable option:
    Solution
    Since the sentence is passive voice, the participle form of the verb must be used along with the be verb with the tense unchanged, here "broken". Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the rule, hence incorrect. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify which of the following are phrases:
    Solution
    The phrase is the group of words in a sentence which forms a component in a clause. Option B is a verb phrase. A verb phrase is the group of main verbs and helping verbs in a sentence. Option B has 'watching' as the main verb and 'be' as the helping verb. 
    Thus, option B is the correct answer. Rest of the options do not fall in any category of the phrases. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate word. 
    When the police arrived, the thief _____ away.
    Solution
    The sentence indicates a fast movement by a human being to escape. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options express relaxed movement or movement of a horse, hence, incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose the best continuation of the given sentence from the options given.
    I have lost my job.
    Solution
    Here, we have to find the best sentence that the speaker can say after the given sentence. 'I have lost my job' explains to us that someone is sharing a sad news with the others. 
    Option B - 'Now, I'm jobless' has the same meaning as the given sentence. Logically, as well as grammatically, no one would repeat a sentence with the same meaning again. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'My employer was generous' is an inappropriate sentence, it isn't relatable to the given sentence. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - No person would directly say that 'I've another job offer'. It's not directly relatable in a conversation as a person would definitely express his emotions if he has lost his job. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'I feel so miserable' is an appropriate sentence, as any person who has lost a job would say this to express how he feels. Hence, option A is correct.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the best answer from the options given.
    Simer only thinks about herself.
    Solution
    Here, we have to find the best response to the given sentence. 'Simer only thinks about herself' explains to us that she only cares about herself and not others.
    Option A - 'I'm afraid you are right' is used as a response to some fact that someone has stated. It doesn't interpret the given sentence, hence option is incorrect.
    Option B - 'It's nice of her to do so' is not right because it's not a good thing to think just about self. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option D - 'It's good to see you' is used when you see/meet a person after a long time. It doesn't interpret or even relate to the question. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option C - To only think about own self is selfish/mean. 'Oh, she's so mean' correctly interprets the given sentence. Hence, option C is correct.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    ...view full instructions

    Which of the following will satisfy the blank at (c)?
    Solution
    Since the sentence is imperative form and advises a correct thing, "should" is to be used. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not express imperative, hence incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the appropriate word.
    The two children sat at the ____ of the table.
    Solution
    Here the reference is to that part of the table farthest from the centre, or the end. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not express physical position or location, hence, incorrect. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct adjectival phrase from the alternatives given.
    My younger sister can't get up in the morning, but at night she is as _____ daisy. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    Option A is incorrect. The conjunction "as" precedes the blank and is used to indicate a comparison. Here, "as fresh as" would be correct as "as fresh like" is grammatically incorrect.
    Option B is incorrect as "fresh" does not indicate proper comparison in the given context. "as fresh daisy" is grammatically incorrect.
    Option C is incorrect as "freshly" is an adverb and not an adjective.
    Option D is correct as "as fresh as a daisy" indicates a comparison between the pronoun "she" and a "daisy" in the context. Thus, the adjectival phrase "fresh as a" is the correct answer.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct adjectival phrase from the alternatives given.
    Sonia gave me a _________ recipe for cheesecake. [Intermediate]
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
    The girl danced ____________.
    Solution
    Since a degree or manner of the dance is expressed here, an adverb should be used. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express the manner, hence incorrect.
