    Choose the correct option for [10]
    Solution
    Since we are talking about something that has already happened, simple past tense is used. Unlike the past continuous tense, which is used to talk about past events that happened over a period of time, the simple past tense emphasizes that the action is finished. The past tense form is "were made". Hence, Option A is correct.
    The rest of the options do not contain the correct verb forms, based on the information provided. Hence they're incorrect.

    Mr. Subbu: Kindly tell him that our Drama Troupe that has to perform in his theatre will reach New Delhi Railway Station tomorrow by the Rajdhani Express at 5:00 p.m. So, please make arrangements for their stay.

    ...view full instructions

    Choose the correct option for [4].
    Solution
    The given 'MESSAGE' is a report of the conversation between Mr. Subbu and Anil.
    Option C: As it's mentioned in the line "our Drama Troupe...will reach New Delhi Railway Station by the Rajdhani Express", blank 4 is completed with "Rajdhani Express". Hence C is correct.
    Option A: 'Chennai Express' is not mentioned in the conversation. Chennai is the city from where 'Subbu' has called. But, it's not the name of the train in which the Drama Troupe will arrive. Hence A is incorrect.
    Option B: Similarly, 'Shatabdi Express' is not mentioned in the conversation. Hence option B is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in C.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the best option to complete the given conversation:
    Dara: Hi Sheila! Nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you.
    Sheila: Hi Dara! ________, I hope!
    Solution
    Option D: 'All good things' is relevant to the statement mentioned before: "I've heard so much about you.", where 'all good things' refers to 'so much'.
    Hence option D is the correct answer.
    Option A: 'It is true' isn't appropriate. It makes the conversation sound ambiguous.
    Option B: Similarly, 'that's great' does not go well with the conversation. Also, it contrasts with the other half of the sentence: 'That's great, I hope!'
    Option C: 'Good for you' is vague and doesn't go with 'I hope'.
    In all these options, the lines given are definite opinions: it is true, that is great, good for you. They don't go with the line that expresses a lack of confidence 'I hope'.
    Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate word:

    A narrative answers the question ___________
    Solution
    A narrative is a spoken or written account of connected events. It gives us a vivid description of the formation and execution of the points that join events together. Rest of the information we need to decipher from the narrative. So, Option B is correct. The other options are incorrect as the readers or the audience tend to find the answers from the narrative themselves.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the main idea/point in the passage:

    Anjali didn't want to go to office. She was thinking of making an excuse to her manager but she wasn't able to find any because she had already made four in the last month to skip office. So, she decided that she would just switch her cell phone off and sleep.
    Solution
    The primary fact in the passage is about Anjali's unwillingness to go to office. Rest are all ancillary information related to the main topic which elucidate as to what was going through Anjali's mind when she thought of not going to office. Hence, Option C is correct and the others are not.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    What is the plot of a story?
    Solution
    Plot of a story is the sequence of events in which the story is framed. The People are the Characters. Headline is the Title. The framework of a story is called its Structure. Hence, option A is correct.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is the most accurate statement with regard to giftedness ?
    Solution
    Answer 
    b. It may include motor or cognitive abilities.
    Explanation:
    I don't like the word "giftedness" in any application to people's abilities. We ALL have particular and unique abilities that can be utilized as well as we can. Exceptional abilities  (or deficiencies) can occur in motor skills as well as cognitive ones.
    That's one problem with a term like "gifted"! Who gave the gift (and how is that different from or any better than the miraculous "gift of life" we all have)? Some usage inverts the language - when is "gifted" "special" - or simply ignores common language.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Which item does not belong in the following checklist for writing rough drafts?
    Solution
    Option 'D' is the most probable answer


  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    She is really looking forward ____ her new job next week.
    Solution
    Answer:
    Option 'D' is the right answer.

    She is really looking forward to starting her new job next week.

    Explanation:

    ‘Look forward to’ is a phrasal verb which means ‘to think with pleasure about something that is going to happen because you expect to enjoy it. 

     Phrasal verb is a verb combined with an adverb or a preposition, or sometimes both, to give a new meaning, for example go in for, win over and see to.

    In this sentence ‘to starting’ has been used because of the structure ‘look forward to + doing something’ structure. According to this structure, look forward to is followed by v1+ing verb. For example, We are really looking forward to visiting you again next month.
