    Given are a few details on Sachin Tendulkar, the great cricketer and a bio-sketch, based on this given information is also given. Complete the bio-sketch blank [19] with the help of the most appropriate option.  
    Solution
    Option B, '5'5" tall' is the correct answer because tall is a vertical measure; it generally means how far away the bottom of an object is from the top of that object and it is also supported by the facts given in the passage. Therefore tall is the correct word to be used while describing someone's height.
    Option A is incorrect because long is generally used for a horizontal measure; it is how far away one side or end of an object is from the other side or end. Hence it would be grammatically incorrect to use '5'5" long' in the sentence.
    'Length' is used to describe the measurement or extent of something from end to end or simply the quality of being long. Therefore option C also is incorrect.
    Using option D in the sentence would make it incomplete and meaningless as 'Sachin is of five feet and five inch' is grammatically incorrect. Hence option D is incorrect as well.

    Given are a few details on Sachin Tendulkar, the great cricketer and a bio-sketch, based on this given information is also given. Complete the bio-sketch blank [18] with the help of the most appropriate option.
    Solution
    From the passage given, we do understand that his nicknames were Little Master and Master Blaster.  Blank [18] requires the names he was popularly known by and therefore option C is the correct answer.
    Option A is incorrect because that is his official name and not the popular name.
    Being a great cricketer is one of his achievements and has nothing do with the names he is known by. Therefore option B is incorrect.
    Since we have chosen option C as the correct answer, option D is incorrect by default.

    Given are a few details on Sachin Tendulkar, the great cricket, and a bio-sketch, based on this given information is also given. Complete the bio-sketch blank [17] with the help of the most appropriate option.
    Solution
    The given passage is a bio-sketch of Sachin Tendulkar and it is important to keep in mind that the information given are facts.
    Since the sentence is referring to the day on which he was born, something that happened in the past and finished in the past, the correct tense to be used is simple present. Hence the option A, 'was born', is the correct answer.
    Option B is incorrect as it would be factually and logically incorrect to say that  Sachin Tendulkar is born on 24th April 1973, because the event did not happen in the present.
    'Has been' is in the present perfect tense, which is used when we want to talk about something that started in the past but is still going on right now in the present. Since the birth of Sachin Tendulkar is not continuing in the present, option C is incorrect as well.
    Option D is incorrect because if used, it would make the sentence incomplete and hanging without giving it complete meaning.

    Read the informal e-mail given and answer the question that follows.
    Select a suitable subject for the e-mail from the given options.
    Solution
    A subject line is used in letters or messages to give an overview of the content of a letter.
    According to the format of an informal letter, we do not usually write the subject in the letter because it could have more than one subject. Informal letters are usually written in the conversational style and are more casual, so it doesn't need a subject line because there is no formality or urgency attached to the letter. Hence option D is the correct answer, making options A, B, and C incorrect answers.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    From the given options, choose the correct option regarding an informal letter.
    Where is the 'subject' placed in an informal letter?
    Solution
    According to the accepted format of an informal letter, we do not address the subject of the letter as a title unlike in a formal letter where we specifically write the subject. A subject line is typically used so that the reader may immediately know the purpose of the letter and its significance. We don't use subject line in an informal letter because the content of the letter is usually written in the conversational style and touch upon many subjects rather than just one important matter. Hence option D is the correct answer to the question.
    Since the other options do not follow the format of an informal letter, options A, B, and C are incorrect.

    Read the informal e-mail given and answer the question that follows.  
    How must you end the letter? 
    Solution
    A closing phrase is commonly used to show that the correspondence has come to an end and is addressed to the receiver of the message. It is the counterpart of a salutation. According to the UK convention, we use the closing phrase 'yours sincerely' when we know the recipient. Also, out of the options given, 'yours sincerely- Charles' is the most informal way to end the letter. Hence option A is correct. 
    Option B is used to show more respect and is typically used in formal letters. As we are dealing with an informal letter, this option is incorrect.
    Option C is incorrect as it is imperative to end the letter with a proper closing phrase to be in accordance with the accepted format.
    Option D is incorrect because option A is the correct answer.

    Read the informal e-mail given and answer the question that follows.  
    Select an appropriate salutation for the e-mail.
    Solution
    As is given in the question we are dealing with an informal letter, so the salutation to be used also should be informal and more casual (eg. hello, hi, hey there). It is a way of addressing the person receiving the letter and a matter of etiquette or courtesy. We can also sense the tone of the letter from the kind of salutation used. Therefore option C is the correct answer.
    Since options A, B, and D are formal salutations, they are incorrect.

    Fill in blank [24] with a suitable option:
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer to fill blank [24] as it makes for an adequate title for the notice giving the right amount of information. The reader will readily know that the park will be closed and the reason for its closure is clearly given.
    Option A is incorrect as 'attention please!' is not a suitable header for a formal notice that has to be issued. It also doesn't catch the readers attention because it doesn't express the content of the notice.
    Option C is incorrect because it is not specifying what kind of maintenance is going to happen and option D is incorrect because it is not mentioning the fact that the park will be closed for the installation.

    ...view full instructions

    Fill in blank [25] with a suitable option:
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answer because it means that the residents are being informed about the closure and thus gives complete meaning to the sentence.
    Option A is incorrect as the notice is currently informing the residents about the closure of the park, so it would be illogical to use future tense in such a situation.
    Option B means that the residents are the ones informing about the closure meanwhile they are the ones being informed by the secretary. Hence option B is incorrect.
    Since we have already chosen the correct answer, option D is incorrect as well.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the most suitable option:
    Leela: Every summer, I go to London.
    Benny: You must know it like the back of your hand!
    Leela: Yes, you can say that.
    What does Benny mean?
    Solution
    Idiomatic expressions are a type of informal English that have a meaning different from the literal meaning of the words in the expression.
    The given dialogue contains an idiom, delivered by Benny: "like the back of your hand".
    It means 'to know a place very well'. This meaning is mentioned in option A, that Leela knows London very well. 'Very familiar' means the same as 'knows'. Hence A is the correct option.
    Option B: The dialogue does not imply any tattoo.
    Option C: This also isn't implied by Benny. There isn't any mention of 'Benny liking Leela's hand'.
    Option D: The strength of Leela's backhand also isn't implied. Also, 'backhand' is a term related to sports, it does not mean the same as 'back of the hand'. Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
