Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
He says "What do the pupils study?"
He asks _____________________

A
what do the pupils study.

B
what the pupils study.

C
what the pupils studied.

D
what the pupils have studied study.

E
whether the pupils study something.

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 when we convert the given direct question to indirect speech the question word is repeated, asks is used a the introductory verb, and the tense is not changed as 'says' is used in the direct speech.
The other options are wrong as do, studied, have studied, and something can't be used.
The correct answer is B)what the pupils study.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The surgeon says, "You may have some pain for a few days." He says that _________ some pain for a few days

A
I might have

B
he may have

C
he might

D
I may have

Solution

The given sentence is a statement.
According to the rules of narration and reporting, if the reporting verb is in the present or future tense, the reported verb is not changed. The reporting verb in the given sentence, 'says', is in the present form.Therefore, the reported verb should be in the present tense. The pronoun 'you' changes into 'I'.
Thus the complete sentence must be,
He says that I may have some pain for a few days.
Thus option D is the correct answer.
Options A,B,C are incorrect as they do not follow the rules of Narration and Reporting.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Long ago, people thought that the earth was flat. Long ago, the earth __________ flat.

A
was thinking to be

B
was thought to be

C

D

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.

The correct answer is B)was thought to be as the previous sentence indicates simple past tense. (passive)
Options A, C, and D are not correct as the sentence is not in the past continuous tense, simple present tense, and helping verb is not used respectively.

Long ago, people thought that the earth was flat. Long ago, the earth was thought to be flat.
