  • Question 1
    5 / -1

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

    Be present _________ the moment.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The word 'in' is used in this sentence to indicate a state or condition of being within or fully engaged with the moment.
    • 'In' is a preposition. A preposition is a part of speech that is used usually before a noun or pronoun to show place, time, and direction.
    • 'In' is generally used to indicate location, time, or inclusion.
      • For example: She lives in New York.

    Therefore, the complete sentence is "Be present in the moment".

    Additional Information

    • "To" is often used to indicate direction, destination, purpose, or the receiver of an action.
      • Examples:
        • She is going to the store.
        • He gave a gift to his sister.
    • "On" is used to indicate position, location, or contact with a surface.
      • Examples:
        • The book is on the table.
        • She's waiting on the corner.
    • "Upon" is more formal and is often used to indicate a specific point in time or a condition.
      • Examples:
        • They arrived upon the stroke of midnight.
        • She made her decision upon hearing the news.
    • It's important to note that the usage of these prepositions can vary depending on the context of the sentence, so their meanings and usage may change accordingly.
  • Question 2
    5 / -1

    A sentence has been given with a blank to be filled with an appropriate option. Choose the correct alternative.

    The water from the river was ________ cold for me to drink directly.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The correct word to use in this context is "too," which means to a higher degree than is desirable, permissible, or possible; excessively.
    • Therefore, the sentence should read, "The water from the river was too cold for me to drink directly."
    • This makes Option 3 (too) the correct choice to fill the blank.

    Therefore, the correct sentence is:  "The water from the river was too cold for me to drink directly."

    Additional Information

    • "very" - This means to a high degree but doesn't imply exceed.
    • "most" - This superlative quantifier isn't suitable in this context.
    • "many" - This word is even less suitable here because it's used with countable nouns.
  • Question 3
    5 / -1

    Solution

    Key Points

    • A formal letter is an official letter. 
    • It is written in the formal or official language. 
    • It is short and only the necessary information is given. 
    • The format of a formal letter is as follows: 
      • Sender's address
      • Date
      • Receiver's address
      • The subject of the letter
      • Salutation
      • Body of the letter

      • Signature
    • An informal letter is an unofficial letter. 
    • It is written in an informal or personal language. 
    • It is lengthy and personal information is given. 
    • The format of an informal letter is as follows: 
      • Sender's address
      • Date
      • Salutation
      • Body of the letter
      • Conclusion

  • Question 4
    5 / -1

    There is an underlined segment in the given sentence. Select the most appropriate option to substitute the segment. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution required'.

    The parking spot next to your car is our car's.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • In the given sentence, we need to use the correct form of the possessive pronoun which is "ours".
    • The possessive pronoun indicates the ownership of a noun in the sentence.
    • The possessive pronoun replaces the possessive adjective noun in a sentence.
      • Example: I have bought a house next to your house. (possessive adjective + noun)
        • I have bought a house next to yours. (possessive pronoun)
    • In the given sentence, the possessive pronoun "ours" should replace the possessive adjective "our" and the noun "car".
    • The implied meaning of the given sentence is that the parking spot next to the other person's car is owned by the speaker.

    The correct sentence is: The parking spot next to your car is ours.

    Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

  • Question 5
    5 / -1

    Pick out the clause in the following sentence:

    My mom asked me to call her as soon as I boarded the bus.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The clause is somewhere in the middle of sentences and phrases.
    • The clause has a definite subject, meaning, predicate, and verb. 
    • There are Two Different Types of Clauses:
      • Independent Clause: It is also called a principal clause. It has both a subject and a verb, it can also act as a sentence. These cannot be simply used as nouns, adverbs or adjectives as they act as a sentence.
        • Example: She is intelligent.
      • Dependent Clause: It is also known as a subordinate clause, it requires an independent clause to provide the complete meaning of the sentence. This dependent clause consists of a verb, subject and a predicate but they cannot act as a sentence instead they need the support of an independent clause.
        • Example: He cried because he fell down the stairs.
    • ​Let us check the given options:
      • Asked me to call her: Structure has Verb + Object
      • To call her: Structure has Preposition + Verb
      • Asked me to call her as soon as: Structure has Verb + as soon as
      • As soon as I boarded the bus.: Structure has As soon as + Subject + Verb + Object
    • So, the option 4 is a dependent clause because it needs the independent clause "My mom asked me to call her" to the provide the complete meaning.
    • Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
  • Question 6
    5 / -1

    Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.

    Disseminate

    Solution

    Key Points

    • Let's look at the meaning of the given word:
      • Disseminate- to spread or give out something, especially news, information, ideas, etc., to a lot of people. ( फैलाना, प्रसारित करना)
    • Let's look at the meaning of the correct answer:
      • Circulate- to send something such as information, ideas, or documents from one person to another. (प्रसारित करना)
    • Clearly, the word 'Circulate' is closest in meaning to the given word 'Disseminate'.
    • Therefore, the correct synonym of the given word is 'Circulate'.

    Additional Information

    • Let's know the meaning of other options

  • Question 7
    5 / -1

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

    She killed the cockroach.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • Passive voice in English is formed by using the auxiliary verb "to be" + past participle of the main verb.
    • Active voice structureSubject + Verb + Object
    • Passive voice structureObject of the Active + "to be" verb + Past Participle of the Main Verb + by + Subject of the Active Voice
    • In this sentence, "killed" is the past participle of the main verb "to kill".
    • The subject of the sentence, "she", becomes the agent of the action in the passive voice sentence.
    • Therefore, "the cockroach" becomes the subject of the sentence in the passive voice and is preceded by the auxiliary verb "was".

    Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.

  • Question 8
    5 / -1

    Which of the following is not a topic for letter to the editor?

    Solution

    Key Points

    • A letter to the editor is a type of formal letter. 
    • Formal letters are official letters.
    • All formal letters have the same basic format. 
      • Sender's address
      • Date
      • Receiver's address
      • The subject of the letter
      • Salutation
      • Body of the letter
      • Conclusion
        • Yours sincerely/ faithfully
        • Signature
    • The difference is in the receiver's address and the body. It changes according to the type of formal letter. 

    Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

  • Question 9
    5 / -1

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.

    A new book on games will be released by the publishers next week.

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The above-given sentence is in the passive voice.
    • We need to change it into active voice.
    • The following steps need to be taken for converting the sentence into passive voice:-
      • The subject 'A new book on games​' of the passive voice will become the object of the active voice.
      • The object 'The publishers' of the passive voice will become the subject of the active voice.
      • Since modal verb has been used in the active voice, therefore, the passive voice will follow the given structure:-
      • Passive Voice - Object + modal verb(will) + be + V3 + Subject.
      • Active Voice - Subject + modal verb(will) + V1 + Object.

    Therefore, the correct passive voice is The publishers will release a new book on games next week.

    Additional Information

    • When we convert active voice to passive voice, three things need to be kept in mind:-
      • Change object into subject.
      • Change subject into object.
      • Always use the third form of the verb in the passive voice.
  • Question 10
    5 / -1

    Change the following sentence into an assertive sentence.

    Did I ever ask you to run?

    Solution

    Key Points

    • The given sentence is an interrogative sentence.
      • Interrogative sentence:- An interrogative sentence is a sentence that asks a question.
      • Interrogative sentences can be direct or indirect, begin with or without pronouns, and feature yes/no interrogatives, alternative questions, or tag questions.
      • Interrogative sentences often start with interrogative pronouns and end with a question mark.
    • We have to convert it into an assertive sentence:
      • Assertive sentence:- The sentence which declares a statement, feeling, opinion, history, or anything is called an assertive sentence or declarative sentence.
      • An assertive sentence ends with a period (.).
      • Note that the assertive sentences can be either affirmative or negative.
    • In order to change the given interrogative sentence into an assertive sentence, we have to follow some of the steps:-
    • In case of an interrogative sentence, the helping verb comes before the subject. While transforming a sentence from one form to another, its essence, meaning and tense should not change.
      If Never is used in the assertive sentence, it is replaced by Ever in the interrogative sentence.
      • For example:-Do I ever drink coffee?(interrogative sentence)

        • I never drink coffee.(assertive sentence)

    • Similarly, the given sentence when changed into a assertive sentence will be as follows:

      • I never asked you to run.

    Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
