If I ______ (be) a ghost, I _______ (try) to frighten all the people I dislike.

A
was, would try

B
am, will try

C
were, would try

D

Solution

This is a case of an unreal (impossible) situation of being a ghost. In such cases, we always use 'were' as 'be' verb. The main clause in such cases takes 'would' along with the first form of the verb.
Question 2
1 / -0

Directions: Mark the most suitable option to fill in the blank to make a logical sentence.

What ________ at the door at this time of the night?

A
were you doing

B
are you doing

C

Solution

The key words are 'at this time'. These indicate the use of present tense. Only option 2 has present tense.
Question 3
1 / -0

Directions: Mark the most suitable option to fill in the blanks to make a logical sentence.

When the aeroplane landed, the pilot __________ (find) that one of the wings _______ (be) damaged by a shell.

A
had found, had been

B
found, had been

C
found, had

D
had found, being

Solution

When two activities take place in the past the earlier act is written in past perfect and the later one is written in simple past. The wing was damaged before. So, past perfect will be used. Correct phrase will be 'had been damaged' (in passive voice) as the wing was damaged by a shell. 'Found' which is in simple past tense will be used for the first blank.

1 / -0

Directions: Mark the most suitable option to fill in the blank to make a logical sentence.

By the time I reached the station, the train _____________ (leave) the platform.

A
will leaving

Whenever two events in the past take place in a sequence, we use 'had + third form of the verb' for the former one and the second form of the verb for the latter one.

Once upon a time, there _________ (live) an old man in the middle of a jungle.

Question 6

Directions: Mark the most suitable option to fill in the blank to make a logical sentence.

He was admitted to the hospital last week. He is much better now. He ______ very fast.

A
had recovered

B
was recovering

C
is recovering

D
recovers

Solution

The sentences show a transition from last week to now, which means the next sentence must be in present tense only.
Now, the context of the sentence is about him being admitted in a hospital last week and him being better now, which means he is recovering.
So, the correct answer is 'is recovering'.
