Key Points

• Phenomenology (घटनास्थिति विज्ञान) is the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person point of view.
• The spelling "Phenomenology" is derived from the Greek words "phainómenon" (means "that which appears") and "lógos" (means study).

Therefore, the correct answer is- 'Phenomenology'.

To fill in the blank, we need to choose the most appropriate modal verb that conveys obligation or duty.

• Must: This indicates a strong obligation. In this context, it suggests that obeying parents is essential.
• Will: This expresses a future intention but does not convey obligation.

• Ought to: This also indicates a recommendation or moral obligation, similar to "must".

The best choice is must, as it clearly implies that obeying parents is a requirement.

The correct answer is 'Option 4'.

Key Points

• The original sentence is in the active voice and present continuous tense.
• The subject of the sentence is 'You', and the object is 'them'.
• The format of active voice for present continuous tense is: Subject + am/is/are + Verb(+ing) + Object.
• The format of passive voice for present continuous tense is: Subject (Objective case) + am/is/are + being + Verb (past participle) + by + Object (Subjective case).
• Example in a different sentence: Active: "The chef is cooking the meal." Passive: "The meal is being cooked by the chef."

Therefore, the correct answer is 'They are being teased by you.'

The correct answer is: "The cockroach was killed by her."

Key Points

• Passive voice in English is formed by using the auxiliary verb "to be" + past participle of the main verb.
• Active voice structure: Subject + Verb + Object
• Passive voice structure: Object 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.

The correct answer is 'A letter complaining about the problem with your new mobile.'

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.

Here the correct answer is The publishers will release a new book on games next week.

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.

The correct answer is 'I never asked you to run'.

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.
