Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the most suitable passive voice conversion of the given sentence:
    You should not eat the uncovered food items.
    Solution
    When it is obvious to the listener or reader who the agent is, here the listener himself and when the tone is imperative like an advice, the agent is not mentioned and "should" is used to express order or advice. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not follow the required structure, hence they're incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the most suitable passive voice conversions of the given sentences :
    We saw you and him.
    Solution
    A sentence is in active voice when the subject is the doer of the action.
    A sentence is in passive voice when the new subject (object in active voice) is the receiver of that action.
    The object in the active voice now takes the place of the subject, and vice versa. (subject + verb + object, where the subject and object swap places)
    In the given sentence, the subject (We) performs the action(saw) towards the object (you and him). The object here is compound, as it contains two people, you and him.
    Also, the sentence is in simple past tense, hence the tense will change in terms of passive voice.
    Option B: Here the object receives the action. 'Were seen' is in simple past tense in passive voice.
    Also, 'him' changes to 'he' as the former is an object pronoun that changes to subject pronoun as the voice changes. Hence B is the correct option.
    Option A : 'Him' has not changed here, although it must be changed to 'he'. Also, the verb 'was' is singular whereas the new subject (you and he) is plural. Hence A is incorrect.
    Option C: Similarly, 'him' is incorrect in C.
    Option D: The auxiliary verb 'were' is missing here. Since it's in passive voice, 'were' is required to indicate the simple past tense. Without it, the sentence sounds incomplete. Hence D is incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct indirect speech form of the given statement.
    My mother said to me, "Bring some cherries from the market."
    Solution
    It is important to remember that we do not change the tense of the direct speech while converting it into indirect speech if the reporting verb is in the present tense. Since the verb 'bring' is in the present tense, we do not change the tense in the indirect speech. Thus option B is the correct answer because it follows this rule and makes grammatical sense.
    Option A is incorrect because of the wrong usage of the word 'that' making the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    Options C and D are incorrect because the tone of the sentence is lost with the usage of words like 'ordered' and 'urged' as his mother was simply asking him to bring some cherries from the market.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct indirect speech form of the given statement.
    Alex shouted, "Let me go."
    Solution
    While converting sentences from direct to indirect speech, we must make sure to change all parts of the sentence, including changing the pronouns. 
    Option C is the correct answer because the pronoun 'me' has been correctly converted to 'him', is grammatically sound and is complete in meaning.
    Option A is incorrect because the pronoun 'me' is not changed to 'him'.
    Options B and D are incorrect because they are grammatically incorrect and incomplete in themselves.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct indirect speech form of the given statement.
    Pihu said to Anu, "Please, come here to support me."
    Solution
    With the usage of the word 'please' in the sentence, we do understand that Pihu is requesting Anu to do something for her. Also while converting direct speech into indirect speech it is important to note that words expressing nearness in time or places are generally changed into words expressing distance, for example, 'come' will change to 'go' and 'here' would change to 'there'.
    In accordance with this pattern, option D is the correct answer.
    Option A is incorrect because we have to specify that this is a request and not merely a question.
    Option B is incorrect because the words 'come' and 'here' have not been changed.
    Option C is incorrect because the word 'come' has nnot been changed to 'go'. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct indirect speech form of the given statement.
    Jack said, "Can I go and dance, father?"
    Solution
    Option D is the correct answer as the tense of the sentence has been converted to simple past from simple present and the inverted commas have been removed.
    Option A is incorrect because the tense of the sentence has not been changed into simple past.
    Option B is incorrect because the word 'can', which is the word that shows that he is asking for permission, has been omitted thus changing the meaning of the sentence on conversion.
    Option C is incorrect because reported or indirect speech focuses more on the content of what someone said rather than their exact words and this option does not fulfill this requirement.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct indirect speech form of the given statement.
    Saif said to me, "Who can decode such a difficult message?"
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer because the tense of the sentence has been correctly changed to simple past and no part of the original sentence is omitted, thus giving the sentence complete meaning and grammatical sense.
    Option A is incorrect because the tense of the sentence has not been changed to simple past.
    Option C is incorrect because it is not mentioned to whom Saif is asking the question. 
    Option D is incorrect because option B  is the correct answer.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct indirect speech form of the given statement.
    The stranger said to Alice, "Where do you live?"
    Solution
    Option D is the correct answer because the sentence is correctly changed into the simple past tense from being in the simple present tense and the pronoun 'you' is converted to 'she'.
    Option A is incorrect because the clause 'where did she live' makes the sentence sound more like a question and incomplete. Hence this does not qualify for the right conversion of the direct speech.
    Option B is incorrect because the pronoun 'you' has not been changed.
    Option C is incorrect as well because the sentence is the past perfect tense and not in the simple past tense.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct indirect speech form of the given statement:
    The priest said to me, "May God shower His blessings on you!"
    Solution
    May is used to express a wish, here, showing of blessings. Therefore, in indirect speech, say is changed to wish. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express wish, hence they're incorrect. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct indirect speech form of the given statement.
    A clever mouse said to all, "Let's bell the cat."
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer because the tense of the sentence has been appropriately changed to simple past from simple present and has not omitted any words from the original sentence in question.
    Option A is incorrect because of the inappropriate usage of the word 'proposal' as it should be in the past tense form and the omission of the word 'to'.
    Option C is incorrect because of the omission of the words 'to all' making it different from the sentence in question.
    Option D is incorrect because it does not have the word 'to' and 'would' is used instead of 'should'. We use 'would' to express a wish or a customary action as is not the case in the given sentence.
