    Fill in the blank [5] with the correct passive voice from the given options:
    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 active voice.

    The given sentence is in the active voice.

    The correct answer is C) It should be served 

    Option C) is correct as the sentence is in the simple future tense.

    Options A, B, and D are not correct as the sentence does not indicate the past, the future and 'auxiliary' verb cannot be used respectively.

    It should be served very hot.


  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
    Edison said, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration."
    Edison said that genius ___________ one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. 
    Solution
    As the given sentence is a universal fact/truth, it should always remain in the simple present tense even in the indirect speech.
    Option B - 'Was' is an auxiliary which is used to form the sentence in the simple past tense. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Be' explains 'the state of being' of a subject, it can't be used instead of an auxiliary as it doesn't represent any specific tense. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Will be' is used to form the sentence in the simple future tense, and if used with a verb it is used to form the sentence in the future continuous tense. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'Is' is an auxiliary that is used to form the sentence in the simple present tense. Thus option A is the correct answer.
    'Edison said that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.'
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Change the direct narration into indirect narration.
    Amita said, "I can't possibly finish my work by five o'clock."
    Solution
    As the given sentence in the direct speech is in the simple present tense, we will change it to simple past tense in the indirect speech. 
    'Could' is the past tense of 'can'. 
    Option A - 'Anita said that she can't possibly finish her work by five o'clock' is incorrect, as the sentence is still in the simple present tense. Thus option A is incorrect. 
    Option B - 'Anita said that she won't possibly finish her work by five o'clock' is incorrect as 'won't' is used in the simple future tense. Thus option B is incorrect. 
    Option D - 'Anita said that she hadn't been able to finish her work by five o'clock' is incorrect as we do not have to use past perfect tense here. Thus option D is incorrect. 
    Option C - 'Anita said that she couldn't possibly finish her work by five o'clock' can be used her as 'could' is used instead of 'can' in the simple past tense. Thus option C is the correct answer. 
    'Anita said that she couldn't finish her work by five o'clock.'
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
    Uncle Ram said to Tom, "Do you know me?"
    Uncle Ram asked Tom if ____________.
    Solution
    As the given question is in the simple present tense, we will convert it into simple past tense in the indirect speech.
    Option B - 'Did he know him' is a question again as 'did' is used in the beginning of the sentence. As we need a simple sentence and not an interrogatory sentence, hence we can't use 'did he know him'. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'He knows me' can't be used here as 'knows' is used to represent the sentence in the simple present tense. Also, we can't use 'me' as it is already used in the direct speech, we must use another pronoun according to the object (third-person- not given). Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'You knew him' can't be used here, as 'you' is used in the direct speech, we must use another pronoun according to the subject 'Ram' to replace 'you' here. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'He knew him' is correct as 'he' and 'him' are both used appropriately, also 'knew' explains the sentence in the past tense. Thus option A is the correct answer.
    'Uncle Ram asked Tom if he knew him.'
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Select the correct option to complete the sentence in indirect speech:
    My mother said to me, "Clean your room immediately."
    My mother ordered me ___________ at that time.
    Solution
    "Clean your room immediately." is an order. We often use the word 'to' in the indirect speech to convert an order given in the direct speech.
    Also, we use just the infinitive verb, rather than changing the tense of the sentence.
    Option A - 'To cleaned my room' is incorrect as we never use the past form of the verb with 'to'. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'To clean your room' is incorrect. As 'your' is used in the direct speech, it must be changed to another pronoun according to the subject. Here, we need a pronoun to show possession instead of 'me'. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'That clean my room' is incorrect as we use 'to' for order and 'that' for a general statement while converting the direct into indirect speech. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'To clean my room' can be used here as 'to' is used to indicate an order in the indirect speech and the verb is in the original form with 'to' to form an infinitive. Thus option B is the correct answer.
    'My mother ordered me to clean my room.'
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
    Tennis ___________ by the players of our school at this time.
    Solution
    The simple present tense expresses a general truth, habit or routine.
    In the given sentence, the phrase 'at this time' suggests a routine or daily habit.
    This means that the sentence is in simple present tense. The players play tennis every day at one particular time "at this time". Hence, the correct verb must be in simple present.
    Option C: 'Is played' is in the simple present tense. It describes the action 'to play tennis' to take place every day at a specific time "at this time". Hence option C is correct.
    Options A and D: 'Are' in 'are being played' and 'are played' refer to a plural noun. But, 'tennis' is the name of a game; it does not have a plural form.
    Option B: 'Is being played' refers to the present continuous tense. It describes an action that is happening at the present, 'now'. But, the adverb 'now' isn't present. 'At this time' does not refer to an action happening 'now'.
    Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct passive form from the options given below:
    Sugar and tea ___ by the grocer.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Change the direct narration into indirect narration.
    Sangeet said, "I have already written a letter to my family in Dubai."
    Solution
    As the given sentence in the direct speech is in the present perfect tense, we will change it to the past perfect tense in the indirect speech. 
    Option B - 'Sangeet said that he wrote a letter to his family in Dubai.' is incorrect as this sentence is in the simple past tense. Thus option B is incorrect. 
    Option C - 'Sangeet said the he was writing a letter to his family in Dubai.' is incorrect as this sentence is in the past continuous tense. Thus option C is incorrect. 
    Option D - 'Sangeet said that he will write a letter to his family in Dubai.' is incorrect as this sentence is in the simple future tense. Thus option D is incorrect. 
    Option A - 'Sangeet said the he had written a letter to his family in Dubai.' can be used here as this sentence is in the past perfect tense. Thus option A is the correct answer. 
    'Sangeet said that he had written a letter to his family.'
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with correct passive form of the verb given in the bracket:
    The crop of wheat _____ by the hail storm. (ruin)
    Solution
    The verb in the given sentence is 'ruin'. In the passive voice, the past participle form of the verb (ruined) is used. 
    Option A is correct as 'will be ruined' is the simple future tense form of the verb in passive voice.
    Options B and C are incorrect as the past participle form of the verb (ruined) is not used. 
    Option D is incorrect as option A is the correct answer. 
  • Question 10
