Question 2
1 / -0

Identify the subject of the following sentence.

Ninety-five per cent of an individual's life is determined by his birth and death.

A
Ninety-five percent

B
an individual's life

C

Ninety-five per cent of an individual's life

D
his birth and death.

Solution

Option C is the correct option. A subject in a sentence is the matter discussed within the sentence. Thus, option A and B are incorrect because they are incomplete matters of discussion. Option D is what is being talked about the subject, ie., it is the object of the verb, is determined. Option C, Ninety-five percent of an individual's life, is the main issue being talked about in the sentence, ie., it is the subject.
Question 3
1 / -0

Identify the subject of the following sentence:
We need a visionary to reconcile the contradictory pulls of the two.

A
a visionary

B
We

C
We need a visionary

D
the contradictory pulls

Solution

The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. We can find the subject of a sentence if we can find the verb. In the given sentence the verb is 'need'. The people who 'need' is the subject of this sentence. Therefore option B, 'we', is the correct answer.
Options A, C and D are incorrect answers because they are not the subject of this sentence, rather, they are the object, the independent clause and the adverb.
Question 4
1 / -0

Identify the subject of the following sentence:

Where could I find their works?

A
Where

B
I

C
works

D
their works

Solution

Option B is the correct answer. The pronoun I is the topic of discussion, which also does the work in the sentence, denoted by the verb could find. Option A is the interrogative pronoun, Option C the object to the pronoun their, whereas Option D is the object to the verb find. Therefore, Option B, I is indeed the subject.
Question 5
1 / -0

A

Question 6
1 / -0

Identify the subject of the following sentence:
Science cannot convincingly explain the circumstances of a man's birth and death.

A
the circumstances

B
the circumstances of a man's birth and death

C
Science cannot convincingly

D
Science

Solution

The subject is a noun, pronoun, or a noun phrase, that performs an action (in the active voice) in a sentence.
Option D: In the given sentence, 'Science' performs the action "cannot convincingly explain". It performs an action in the action, hence option D is correct.
Options A and B: 'The circumstances' is a part of the object "the circumstances of a man's birth and death". An object is a noun or noun phrase towards which an action is performed (in an active voice-sentence).
These options do not contain the subject, hence A and B are incorrect.
Option C: 'Science cannot convincingly' contains the subject, science, along with parts of the verb phrase, 'cannot convincingly'. Hence C isn't the correct option.
('Can' in 'cannot' is a modal verb, 'not' and 'convincingly' are both adverbs; they modify the verb 'explain'.)
Question 7
1 / -0

Identify the subject of the following sentence.

Read the works of such thinkers as Bertrand Russell, Vivekananda and Aurobindo Ghosh for guidance.

A
the works

B
the works of such thinkers

C
such thinkers as Bertrand Russell, Vivekananda and Aurobindo Ghosh

D
Implied subject 'you'

Solution

Option D is the correct answer. The sentence begins with the verb read, indicating a command directed at someone, presumably the implied subject, the pronoun you. Option A is a verb and cannot be a subject. Option B includes the verb with the phrase the works which is the object of the preposition of. Option C contains part of the matter said to someone, here, the subject. Thus, it is part of the predicate. Therefore, Options A,B and C are all incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the following conversation and answer the given question:[/passage-header]Neera: Hi, Amina! __(1)__
Amina: Well, __(2)__ I suppose. I mean, the starting time's great.

Neera: Why's that?
Amina: It doesn't start until noon, so I don't have to get up early, and I needn't set my alarm and all that.

Neera: Cool! But then, you have to work late, right?
Amina: Yeah, __(3)__. Also, we aren't allowed to leave till the last customer's gone, and sometimes that's around midnight!

Neera: __(4)__!
Amina: And we are supposed to speak really carefully to customers and say things like "Have a nice day now".

Neera: Yuck!
Amina: And we have to wear stupid hats!

Neera: __(5)__.
Amina: The worst thing is you don't get a moment's rest to sit down or anything.

Neera: Mmmmm... __(6)__
Amina: No, hopefully, I'll find something better, and I'll move on.

Fill in blank (3) with the most suitable phrase from the options given below.

A
That's the coolest thing

B
That's the down side

C
That's really convenient

D
That's the big plus

Solution

Out of the four options, option B) that's the downside is the only statement that expresses the subject's unhappiness. The following sentence is about the subject not being able to leave until midnight, and that's our hint. After reading that sentence, things get easier as we realize that we need a statement expressing unhappiness. The other three options are positive phrases. So, the correct option is B) That's the downside.

Fill in blank (2) with the most suitable phrase from the options given below.

A
It's not all that bad

B
Not all good

C
It's really bad

D
I'm totally enjoying it

Solution

The phrase 'I suppose' is used, which implies you are not completely sure.
So, option A) It's not all that bad is a more suitable answer compared to the other options which are more assertive phrases.
Question 10
1 / -0

The following sentence has not been edited. There is one error in the line. Pick the incorrect word and the correction from the given options that completes the sentence correctly.

We are in dangerous times, because they have too much freedom.

A
Incorrect= we, Correct= I

B
Incorrect= are, Correct= is

C
Incorrect = they, Correct = we

D
Incorrect= We, correct= Them

Solution

Options A) and B) are wrong because the sentence talks about a group of people, indicated by the words 'we' and 'are' at the beginning of the sentence.
Option D) is incorrect because the sentence becomes grammatically incorrect. So, the best answer is option C) where 'they' is replaced by 'we' so the sentence becomes 'We are in dangerous times, because we have too much freedom."
