  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Directions: Select the correct word to complete the following sentence.

    I __________ writing a novel.
    Solution
    (1), (2) and (4) are incorrect because `I` always takes the helping verb `am`.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Directions: Select the correct word to complete the following sentence.

    Many a student ____________ done wrong.
    Solution
    'Many a' takes singular auxiliary. As this is a case of perfect tense (done), option (1) is correct.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Directions: Select the correct word to complete the following sentence.

    He __________ come in time.
    Solution

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Directions: Select the correct word to complete the following sentence.

    The boy said that he ___________ not attend the function.
    Solution
    Since the sentence is in past tense, only 'would' and 'should' can fit. However, 'should' shows an obligation which is not suggested in the sentence. Hence, option 2 is the answer.

    1 / -0
    Directions: Select the correct word to complete the following sentence.

    I ______________ climb the trees when I was a boy.
    Solution

  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Directions: Read the passage and choose the correct option.

    Last Sunday a flower show ____(i)____ in the Rose Garden. Many kinds of flowers ____(ii)____ there. Some of them ____(iii)____ beautiful. There ____(iv)____ not any flowers for sale. It ____(v)____ a holiday. I ____(vi)____ an umbrella with me. Many people ____(vii)____ coming and many people ____(viii)____ going. I ____(ix)____ to ____(x)____ some of the flowers.

    Select the appropriate option and fill in blank iv.
    Solution
    Since the paragraph mentions about an event in the past, past tense will be used throughout the passage. So, only option 1 fits.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Directions: Read the passage and choose the correct option.

    Last Sunday a flower show ____(i)____ in the Rose Garden. Many kinds of flowers ____(ii)____ there. Some of them ____(iii)____ beautiful. There ____(iv)____ not any flowers for sale. It ____(v)____ a holiday. I ____(vi)____ an umbrella with me. Many people ____(vii)____ coming and many people ____(viii)____ going. I ____(ix)____ to ____(x)____ some of the flowers.

    Select the appropriate option and fill in blank v.
    Solution
    Since, past tense is to be used as the passage is about an event in the past (Last Sunday) only options 1 and 3 fit. 'Had' is used to show the sequence of two past events. But, in the context there is no sequence. Hence, 'had' does not fit. So, option 3 is correct.
  • Question 11
    1 / -0
    Directions: Read the passage and choose the correct option.

    Last Sunday a flower show ____(i)____ in the Rose Garden. Many kinds of flowers ____(ii)____ there. Some of them ____(iii)____ beautiful. There ____(iv)____ not any flowers for sale. It ____(v)____ a holiday. I ____(vi)____ an umbrella with me. Many people ____(vii)____ coming and many people ____(viii)____ going. I ____(ix)____ to ____(x)____ some of the flowers.

    Select the appropriate option and fill in blank vi.
    Solution
    Except for option 2 all the other options change the sentence into passive voice. With 'I' which is the subject, 'took' fits best.
  • Question 12
    1 / -0
    Directions: Read the passage and choose the correct option.

    Last Sunday a flower show ____(i)____ in the Rose Garden. Many kinds of flowers ____(ii)____ there. Some of them ____(iii)____ beautiful. There ____(iv)____ not any flowers for sale. It ____(v)____ a holiday. I ____(vi)____ an umbrella with me. Many people ____(vii)____ coming and many people ____(viii)____ going. I ____(ix)____ to ____(x)____ some of the flowers.

    Select the appropriate option and fill in blank vii.
    Solution
    Since, past tense is to be used as the passage is about an event in the past (Last Sunday) only option 2 could fit as all other options are in present tense. But, with 'had', past participle form of verb is used. So, "had coming" does not fit the context. So, none of the options fits. Thus, correct answer is 4.

    1 / -0
    Directions: Read the passage and choose the correct option.

    Last Sunday a flower show ____(i)____ in the Rose Garden. Many kinds of flowers ____(ii)____ there. Some of them ____(iii)____ beautiful. There ____(iv)____ not any flowers for sale.

    Select the appropriate option and fill in blank viii.
    Solution
    Since, past tense is to be used as the passage is about an event in the past (Last Sunday) only option 1 fits.

    Select the appropriate option and fill in blank x.
    Solution

  • Question 16
    1 / -0
    Directions: Select the correct option to fill in the blank.

    They __________ running a race.
    Solution
    (1) and (2) are incorrect because they are used with a singular subject and I, respectively. With 'have' third form of verb is used.
  • Question 17
    1 / -0
    Directions: Select the correct option to fill in the blank.

    Many a child _________ killed.
    Solution
    The phrase 'many a ...' takes a singular noun and singular verb. (2) and (3) are incorrect because both have a plural verb. Option 4 is grammatically incorrect.
  • Question 18
    1 / -0
    Directions: Select the correct option to fill in the blank.

    She __________ come yesterday.
    Solution
    (1) and (2) are incorrect because both have present tenses, whereas use of 'yesterday' in the sentence refers to the past tense.
  • Question 19
    1 / -0
    Directions: Select the correct option to fill in the blank.

    The teacher asked the boy why he ____________ late.
    Solution
    (2) is incorrect because it is a plural verb, whereas `he` is a singular subject.
    (3) is incorrect because the sentence is in past tense. So, we need a past from of verb. (4) is incorrect as a verb in third form is required after 'had'.
  • Question 20
    1 / -0
    Directions: Select the correct option to fill in the blank.

    ___________ she help you?
    Solution
    Options 1 and 3 are incorrect because they are used with a plural subject or 'I' whereas 'she' refers to a singular subject. Option 4 needs past participle form of verb, which is not available in the context; hence invalid. Option 2 is correct.
