  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Select the most suitable option to fill in the blank:
    A _____________ is a brief account of an event that has already taken place. 
    Solution
    Option B: A report is 'a spoken or written account of something that one has observed or investigated'.
    The given sentence mentions 'a brief account of an event that has already taken place'.
    Hence the answer is 'report' and option B is correct.

    Option A: An article is 'a piece of writing written for a large audience. The main motive behind writing one is to publish in newspapers and magazines so as to educate the readers.' It can be as short as one page or several pages long.
    Option C: An autobiography is 'an account of the life story of the author'.
    Option D: A diary entry is 'a personal journal that one writes on a daily basis, to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences.
    These are not the correct options as they serve other purposes of writing.
    Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Select the best option to fill in the blank:
    ___________ speech is used while writing a report. 
    Solution
    A report gives a description about an incident or event that has happened. Hence, it will be in past tense.
    Option B: Reported speech reports an event or action that happened. It can report something said by someone. Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: Direct speech reports speech by directly quoting the words spoken by the speaker. But, a report narrates what was spoken, and is in third person point of view. It does not express firsthand information.
    Option C: A report can be persuasive but it is not written in persuasive speech. Reports are not written in persuasive speech. A persuasive speech is spoken and not written. Reports are written.
    Option D: Reports can be informal, such as a report written in a workplace, but it is not written in an informal speech. Informal speech is one that you use with your friends or relatives, but not in a professional environment. Informal reports still have a formal diction.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is true of a report?
    (Select the best option.)
    Solution
    Option C: One must use passive voice as little as possible in formal writing. A report, being formal, uses the active voice the most. Hence option C is correct.
    Option A: The passive voice must be avoided as much as possible, but in places where the active voice can't be used, the passive would be utilized. Hence this option isn't correct.
    Options B and D: One must avoid writing reports in passive voice.
    Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Select the best option to fill in the blank:
    A character sketch should be ______________.
    Solution
    "A character sketch is a description made for the purpose of guiding the writer on such assignments as introducing a particular character to the reader in such a way that both the writer and readers can have a quick overview of the character's attributes; including but not limited to physical appearance, idiosyncratic (individual) tendencies in different circumstances, state of mind as shaped by former experiences and how these will affect their future actions."
    Option A: This is the most appropriate, logical option. A character should, while being realistic, should also be interesting. It should engage the reader in a way that he or she wants to know more about this character. Hence option A is correct.
    Option B: 'Realistic' and 'factual' have similar meanings. 'Yet' presents a contrast between two things, not similarities.
    Option C: A character sketch should not be imaginative, but realistic. An imaginative character sketch would require action and plot, which are not a part of a character's sketch.
    Option D: 'Descriptive' and 'concise' are two opposites (on extremes), and we can't include both aspects while writing a character sketch. It's either descriptive or concise.
    Hence options B, C and D are wrong.
  • Question 10
