Key Points

• The term "fighting" is used as a noun in the given sentence.
• It represents an action or a thing, not an action being performed (which would make it a verb).
• In this context, it refers to the event of combat or conflict.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

 

Additional Information

• Option 2: Verb – "Fighting" can be a verb in other contexts, but here it acts as a noun.
• Option 3: Adjective – "Fighting" does not describe any noun here, so it's not an adjective.
• Option 4: Adverb – "Fighting" is not modifying any verb, adjective, or other adverb here.

The correct answer is Option 4.

 

Key Points

• To convert a sentence from active to passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
• The verb form should be changed to the appropriate form of "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
• The subject of the active sentence becomes the agent in the passive sentence, usually preceded by "by".
• In this case, "She is writing a letter." becomes "A letter is being written by her."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

 

Correct Sentence: "A letter is being written by her."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: "A letter was being written by her." - Incorrect tense.
• Option 2: "A letter has been written by her." - Incorrect aspect.
• Option 3: "A letter was written by her." - Incorrect tense.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• In indirect narration, the question format is changed into a statement format.
• The reporting verb "said" is changed to "asked" or "enquired" when converting a question.
• The question mark is omitted in indirect speech.
• "Why are you late today" changes to "why she was late that day" to maintain the correct tense and pronoun usage.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: "The teacher asked Sheela why she was late that day."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: Incorrect placement of "was" before "she".
• Option 2: Incorrect due to the question mark at the end.
• Option 4: "Enquired" is less commonly used and "asked" is more appropriate in this context.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• The sentence needs to be formed in a logical and grammatically correct manner.
• Starting with "before I" (D) indicates the prerequisite actions needed before the speaker can help.
• The sequence should lead with (D) before introducing the subject and actions. Therefore, (B) "can help you," follows "before I" logically.
• Next, (E) "I" must bracket the statement, completing the clause "before I can help you, I."
• The phrase "must know" (A) must pair with "all the facts" (C) to make a complete thought "must know all the facts."
• Thus, the correct order is (D) (B) (E) (A) (C).

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: Before I can help you, I must know all the facts.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: (B) (D) (C) (A) (E) – This sequence starts with the fragment "can help you, before I all the facts must know I," which is not grammatically correct.
• Option 3: (C) (B) (A) (E) (D) – This sequence starts with "all the facts can help you must know I before," which doesn't make sense.
• Option 4: (A) (C) (E) (D) (B) – This sequence starts with "must know all the facts I before can help you," which isn't logical or grammatically correct.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect verb form "saw" in part C.
• Since the sentence is in the present perfect tense, the correct verb form should be "seen."
• The correct phrase should be "Have either of you seen my book?" ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
• Thus, the error is located in part C of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

 

Correct Sentence: "Have either of you seen my book?"

 

Additional Information

• A: "Have" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• B: "either of" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• D: "my book?" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• The correct form of the verb to use in this context is "was laying" as it describes an action that was ongoing at the specific time the phone rang.
• "Has been laying" is incorrect as it implies an action that started in the past and is still continuing.
• "Has laid" is incorrect because it is the present perfect tense of the verb "to lay" and does not fit the past continuous context.
• "Had been laid" is incorrect as it is the past perfect passive form, which does not fit the active context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: "At the time the phone rang, she was laying the table."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: "has been laying" – This is incorrect because it suggests that the action started in the past and continues to the present.
• Option 3: "has laid" – This is incorrect because it is the present perfect tense and does not fit the context of an ongoing past action.
• Option 4: "had been laid" – This is incorrect as it is the past perfect passive form and does not match the active form required in the sentence.

The correct answer is Option 1.

 

Key Points

• The term "broken out" is typically used to describe the sudden occurrence or outbreak of something, particularly diseases, conflicts, or other significant events.
• "Broken off" generally means to detach or discontinue, which does not fit the context of an outbreak.
• "Broken up" often refers to the end of a relationship or the scattering of a group, which is not applicable here.
• "Broken with" implies ending an association or agreement, which is not relevant to the context of a disease outbreak.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• In the context of the sentence, "call on" is the correct phrasal verb.
• "Call on" means to visit someone, which fits the context of visiting Delhi.
• "Call up" means to telephone someone, which is not implied in this context.
• "Call at" typically refers to stopping at a place, not visiting a person.
• "Call for" means to demand or require, which does not fit the context.
