Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
"I'll hit you!"
____________ to hit me.

A
He suggested

B
He threatened

C
He promised

D
He offered

Solution

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported speech).In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are repeated. In indirect/reported speech, the exact meaning is expressed but not necessarily using the original speaker's exact words. Pronouns and possessive adjectives usually change from first or second person to the third person except when the speaker is reporting his own words. Sometimes a noun can be inserted to avoid doubt.
When we turn direct questions and exclamations into indirect speech, they are converted to affirmative statement .( ? and ! is not used).
Option B is correct as the word 'hit' suggests a threat and so the appropriate introductory verb is used.
The other options are wrong as the appropriate introductory verb is not used.
The correct answer is B) He threatened
Question 2

C

D
He is glad the danger is over

Solution

The given sentence is a statement.
According to the rules of narration and reporting, if the reporting verb is in the past tense, the tense of the reported verb is changed into its corresponding past form. The reporting verb in the given sentence, 'said', is in the past form. Therefore, the reported verb, 'are' will change into 'were' and 'is' will change into 'was'. The pronoun 'we' will change to third person 'they'
Thus, in indirect speech the sentence must be,
Everybody said that they were glad the danger was over.
Thus option C is the correct answer.
Options A,B,D are incorrect as they do not follow the rules of Narration and Reporting.

Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
Peter wanted _____ a policeman.

A
that Mary would ask

B
Mary asking

C
Mary should ask

D
Mary to ask

Solution

In the given sentence the word 'wanted' indicates that the sentence is in the past tense. Thus, the answer must support the tense and also maintain the consistency of the tense.
Option A is incorrect. 'would ask' is used to indicate an event that will happen in the future at a time in the past. Since the expression is not in the simple past tense, the consistency of the tense will not be maintained.
Option B is incorrect. 'asking' is the gerund/participle form of the verb 'ask' and is generally used as a conjunction. If it is used in the following context, the sub-ordinate clause would not have a main verb which will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. 'Mary should ask' contains a main verb 'should ask'. Since it does not contain a conjunction, having two main verbs in one sentence would make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option D is correct. 'Mary to ask' contains an infinitive which can be used without a conjunction. It also supports the tense of the sentence while maintaining the consistency of the sentence.
