Directions For Questions

Tommy kicked angrily at the rocks in front of him as he walked to the little store up the road. The gravel road was quiet, with only the dust from his feet rising up from the ground. The Texas spring was hotter and drier than normal, causing a slight drought. Tommy wished he still had his bike, but he had broken the frame last fall when he and his friends did some trick rides. Man, that was some fun, though! he remembered with a smile.
His smile went back to a frown as his thoughts returned to why he was walking on this hot Saturday morning. His sister Rachel was home from college for the weekend, so he didnt understand why HE had to go get the milk. She could have driven in her car. It was always, Rachels busy. Rachel needs to study. Today it was, Rachels tired from her drive home last night. Whatever! He had work to do, too. What about how busy he was? Everyone treated him like he was a little kid. But he had his 10th grade exams coming up in two weeks. He was busy, too!

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents strife.
The fearful passage of their death-markd love,
And the continuance of their parents rage,
Which, but their childrens end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend [passage-footer]Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet)[/passage-footer]

Solution

The given notice is put up by the school authority requesting the office bearers of the Science Society to attend a meeting with the principal. As it is a formal notice, it is in passive voice. The verb, 'are' is used as the subject (office bearers of Science society) is in plural form. Option C is the correct answer.
The corrected sentence is: 'The office bearers of the Science Society are requested to attend a meeting with the principal'.
Option A is incorrect as the verb, 'is' cannot be used with a plural subject.
The sentences in a notice are usually in future tense or present tense forms.
Option B is incorrect as the verb, 'requested' is in simple past tense which cannot be used in a notice for a meeting to be held in future.
Option D is incorrect as 'have requested' is in present perfect tense.

Part (2) refers to the venue of the meeting.
