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.

A
Was born

B
Is born

C
Has been born

D
Born

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.

A
Subject: Sending an e-mail

B
Subject: Visiting India in Summer-break!

C
Ms Alisha, Attention please!

D
No subject in informal letters

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 3
1 / -0

From the given options, choose the correct option regarding an informal letter.
Where is the 'subject' placed in an informal letter?

A
After the salutation

B
Before the salutation

C
Before the receiver's address

D
Should never be written

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.
Question 4
1 / -0

John residing at 15, Pansy Enclave, Gurgaon writes a letter to his friend Salim describing his routine during the Christmas holidays.
Complete this letter using the given options:

11________

A
24th December, 20XX

B
Dec, 24, 20XX

C
24-12-20XX

D
Date : 12-24-20XX

Solution

An informal letter or a personal letter is a letter to a close friend or an acquaintance.
In an informal letter, the date is written in the format: Date (Eg: 24th) month (name of the month), and year (in four digits). Hence, the correct format of the date is: 24th December, 20XX and option A is correct.

The other options are incorrect as their format is different from the correct one indicated above.

Read the informal e-mail given and answer the question that follows.
How must you end the letter?

A
Yours sincerely-Charles

B
Yours obediently-Charles

C
No need to write anything

D
None of these

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.

A
Dear Madam

B
Respected Madam

C
Hi, Alisha

D
Ms Alisha

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.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the correct option regarding an informal letter.
For an informal letter arrange the following in the correct sequence.
1. Sender's address
2. Salutation
3. Body of the letter
4. Date.

A
1, 4, 2, 3

B
2, 4, 3, 1

C
1, 4, 3, 2

D
2, 4, 1, 3

Solution

The widely accepted format of an informal is as follows; sender's address written on the top left corner, followed by the date on which the letter is being written, an informal salutation like 'dear' and then the body or content of the letter. Therefore the correct sequence would be 1, 4, 2, 3 that is option A.
Since the other options do not comply with the accepted format of an informal letter, options B, C, and D are incorrect answers.

Fill in blank [24] with a suitable option:

A
Attention please!

B
Closure of Public Park for installing Musical Fountain

C
Closure for doing maintenance

D
Installing Musical Fountain

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.

Fill in blank [25] with a suitable option:

A
Will be informed

B
Have informed

C
Are informed

D
None of these

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.

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 [21] with the help of the most appropriate option:

A
To have score a double century

B
Who has scored a double century in ODIs

C
To score doubled century in ODIs

D
To scored double century in ODIs

Solution

We use "who" as a relative pronoun to introduce a relative clause about people: Sachin has scored a double century in ODIs. Since it is an action or state that occurred at an indefinite time in the past, present perfect tense (has scored) is used. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express the past perfect tense, hence they're incorrect.
