Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Change the following sentence into passive voice :

Max will look after him.

A
He will looked after by Max.

B
He will be looked after by Max.

C
He will be look after by Max.

D
He will look after Max

Solution

This is a statement of simple future tense with phrasal verb 'look after'. It is changed as follows, the object 'him' becomes the subject 'he', the verb 'will look after' is changed to 'will be looked after' and the subject 'Max' become object 'by Max'. So the correct answer is 'He will be looked after by Max.'
Question 2
1 / -0

Change the following sentence to Passive Voice.

I shall tell you everything about him.

A
Everything about him shall be told to you by me.

B
Everything about him will be told to you by me.

C
Everything about him I will be telling you.

D
Everything I will be telling you about him.

Solution

Since the sentence uses the word 'shall', it is best to use the same word in the passive voice. This is because using 'will' changes the probability of the action mentioned. 'Will' is used when there is no doubt of the action or event occurring while 'shall' is used to express a 'future probability' of something occurring.
So, option A) is the correct answer.
Also, it conforms to the rules for changing a sentence in the simple future tense from active to passive voice: [will/shall]+[be]+[past participle form of the verb]+[by]
Question 3
1 / -0

Change the following sentence into Passive Voice.

His behavior pleased me.

A
His behavior had pleased me.

B
I was being pleased by his behavior.

C
His behavior was pleasing.

D
I was pleased by his behavior.

Solution

The sentence talks about how the behavior of someone 'pleased' the person (me).
While converting the sentence to passive voice, ' I should be pleased ' by the person's behavior. This means the object of the active form of the sentence should come first while the subject should come later.
Option A) is wrong because the tense is incorrect. Option B) indicates an ongoing process and again, the tense is incorrect. Option C) is close to the answer but it is not in the passive voice. So, it is also an incorrect option.
Hence, the correct answer is D) I was pleased by his behavior.
Question 4
1 / -0

Change the following sentence into Passive Voice.

They are reading interesting and educational stories.

A
Interesting and educational stories are being read by them.

B
They have been reading interesting and educational stories.

C
Interesting and educational stories were read by them.

D
We have been interesting and educational stories.

Solution

The sentence given is in the present continuous tense. So the right answer should also be in the same tense.
Since option C) has 'were read' (past tense) in it, this option is not the answer.
Option B) have been reading is in the present perfect continuous tense so it is also incorrect. Option D) uses the word 'we' which has not been mentioned in the original sentence. So, the most appropriate answer is A) Interesting and educational stories are being read by them. It is also important to note that in the active voice sentence the subjects are doing something, whereas, in a passive voice sentence, something is being done by them.
Question 5
1 / -0

The sentence has been given in the Active/Passive voice. From the given options, choose the one which best expresses the given sentence in the Passive/Active voice.
I know him.

A
He is known by me.

B
He was known to me.

C
He has been known by me.

D
He is known to me.

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in the active voice.
The correct answer is D)He is known to me.
Option D is correct as the given sentence is in the active voice and to transform it into the passive voice the subject of the given sentence (I) comes in the place of the object(him) and vice versa. Also, as the given sentence is in the simple present tense.
Options A,B, and C are wrong as the preposition (by) cannot be used here, the given sentence is not in the simple past tense, and the tense used is not same as in the given sentence.
Question 6
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence in indirect speech:
Rajni said to her brother, "Don't write in my notebooks."
Rajni forbade her brother _________________.

A
Not to write in his notebooks

B
Not to write in her notebooks

C
To write in his notebooks

D
To write in her notebooks

Solution

The given sentence is a command.
In an imperative sentence, the verb of the reported speech takes 'to' i.e. to go, to do, etc. In the negative sentence the infinitive (to+ verb) is preceded by 'not'.
In the given sentence, the negative sense is provided by 'forbade'. So we need not use 'not' with the infinitive. Infinitive always takes the basic form of the verb preceded by to. So, 'write' will change into 'to write'. The first person pronoun 'my' will change into third person 'her'.
Thus, the complete sentence must be,
Rajni forbade her brother to write in her notebooks.
Thus option D is the correct answer.
Options A,B,C are incorrect as they do not follow the correct grammatical rules.
Question 7
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence in indirect speech.
The teacher said to the boys, "Work hard if you want to get success." .
The teacher told the boys ________.

A
To work hard if he want to get success

B
To work hard if they wanted to get success

C
To work hard if they want to get success

D
To work hard if he wanted to get success

Solution

The given sentence is an advice.
In an imperative sentence, the verb of the reported speech takes 'to' i.e. to go, to do, etc. In the negative sentence the infinitive (to+ verb) is preceded by 'not'.
Infinitive always takes the basic form of the verb preceded by to. So, 'work' will change into 'to work'. The second person pronoun 'you' will change into third person plural 'they' in the reported speech.
Thus, the complete sentence must be,
The teacher told the boys to work hard if they wanted to get success.
Thus option B is the correct answer.
Options A,C,D are incorrect as they do not follow the rules of Narration and Reporting.
Question 8
1 / -0

Change the following sentence into Passive Voice.

Do your studies regularly.

A
Studies will have to be done regularly.

B
We should do our studies regularly.

C
Studies are to be done regularly.

D
Studies should be done regularly.

Solution

Option A) uses the phrase 'will have to be' which is indicative of the future unlike the original sentence which is in simple present tense.
Option B) we should do our studies regularly is incorrect because the original sentence mentions the word 'your' while this option mentions 'our'.
Option C) and option D) are very close but when the original sentence uses 'do' the passive sentence normally is more authoritative and so the word 'should' is preferred to 'are to be'. So, the correct answer is option D) studies should be done regularly.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the option that correctly transforms the given sentence into reported speech:
Ravi said, "My father lived in this city two years ago."

A
Ravi said that his father had lived in that city two years before.

B
Ravi said that his father had lived in that city for two years.

C
Ravi told that his father had lived in that city ago two years.

D
Ravi asked that his father had lived in that city before two years.

Solution

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).
In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.
In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.
Option A is correct as the appropriate introductory verb 'said' is used with 'had' which is appropriate when we transform the direct speech which is in the simple past tense.
Options B, C, and D are wrong as 'for' cannot be used, 'told' and 'asked' cannot be used respectively.
The correct answer is A)Ravi said that his father had lived in that city two years before.
Question 10
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence in indirect speech.

Teacher said to Ravi, "What is your name?
"Teacher asked Ravi____.

A
What is his name

B
What his name is

C
What his name was

D
What was his name

Solution

Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.
The given example is an example of Interrogative Questions. Indirect speech is formed by using 'ask' + question word + clause.
The clause will have the question, in normal word order and with the necessary tense change. In this case, the simple present tense is given in clause. It would be changed to simple past tense.
Indirect speech would be - Teacher asked Ravi what his name was.
Thus, option C is the correct answer according to the rules.
