    Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence from the given alternatives.

    The life history of a man written by someone else.
    Solution
    The word, 'biography' means 'an account (or life history) of someone's life written by someone else'. Hence, option B is correct. 
    'Autobiography' is an account (or life history) of a person's life written by that person. 'Calligraphy' is decorative handwriting or handwritten lettering. 'Autography' is writing done with one's own hand.
    As the meanings of the above three words, do not mean the same as 'the life history of a man written by someone else', options A, C and D are incorrect. 

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Solution
    The sentence structure should be the+adjective in the comparative+subject+verb, where the adjective is "higher", subject is "your bill" and the verb is "will be". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect. 

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the phrase(s) in the given sentence:
    Glancing back at the house, Hannah remembered all the years she had lived there. 
    Solution
    Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects. 
    Using option A will justify all the above rules. 'At the house' is a prepositional phrase as 'at' is the preposition and 'house' is the object.
    Options B, C, and D are not prepositional phrases. 
    Thus, option A is the correct answer.

'Narrator' is a person who narrates something, especially a character who recounts the events of a novel or narrative poem.
    As the meanings of the above three words, do not mean the same as 'one who knows many languages', options A, C and D are incorrect.
