    A company of five thousand soldiers, (a) / having marched tirelessly for over five days, (b) / have just moved into their cantonment.(c) / No error (d)

    Solution

    The error lies in Part (c) of the sentence.

    According to the subject-verb agreement, the countable noun 'company' should have a singular verb or helping verb.

    Example: A company of five people has reached the venue.

    Therefore, the use of 'have' in Part (c) of the sentence should be replaced by 'has' to make it grammatically correct.

    Correct sentence: A company of five thousand soldiers, having marched tirelessly for over five days, has just moved into their cantonment.

    • The noun "Professor Andrew Dessler" in the sentence 'R' refers back to the sentence 'P'. Hence, 'R' follows 'P'.
    • The adjective 'introductory' in the sentence 'R' is describing the noun "course" in the sentence 'Q'. Hence, 'Q' follows 'R'.
    • The sentence 'S' is concluding the sentence by mentioning for whom the course is all about. Hence, 'S' makes the last sentence.

    • The phrase "layer of the" in the sentence 'P' is linked with the noun 'atmosphere' in the sentence 'S'. Hence, 'S' follows 'P'.

    The sentence 'P' is independent of any other sentences as it is giving general information about an "argument". Hence, 'P' is the first part.

    The comparative adjective 'warmer' in the sentence 'P' is linked with the preposition 'than' in the sentence 'S'. Hence, 'S' follows 'P'.

    Rajesh told Sumithra that he loved his parents.

    Solution

    Rajesh said to Sumithra, "I love my parents."

    While changing a sentence from indirect speech to direct speech, we need to follow these steps-

    • The conjunction 'that' will be replaced with a comma (,) and inverted commas (" ").
    • 'Told' remains either unchanged or changed to 'said to'.
    • The Simple past tense (loved) is changed into the simple present tense (love). 
    • The third-person 'he/his' is changed into the first-person 'I/my' i.e. according to the subject of the reporting verb. (Rajesh)
