• Example: The recovery of the patient was nothing short of miraculous.
• "Extraordinary" refers to something that is very unusual or remarkable. (असाधारण)

• Example: The ferocious lion roared loudly, terrifying all the animals in the jungle.
• "Tame" refers to an animal that is not dangerous or frightened of people; domesticated. (पालतू)
• Example: The once wild horse became tame after months of training and care.
• Hence, we can infer that the opposite of 'ferocious' is 'tame'.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option 3.

The correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

• In the given sentence, the word "not" is underlined.
• "Not" is used to negate the verb "is" in the sentence.
• Words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs are known as adverbs.
• Therefore, "not" functions as an adverb in this sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points

• In passive voice construction, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
• The structure of the sentence in passive voice is: Subject + auxiliary verb (has been) + past participle (liked) + by + agent (him).
• The correct transformation maintains the meaning and tense of the original sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Correct Sentence: "This food has always been liked by him."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "This food has been always liked by him." – Incorrect word order.
• Option 2: "This food had been always liked by him." – Incorrect tense (past perfect instead of present perfect).
• Option 4: "This food has been to his liking." – Changes the meaning of the original sentence.

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• Direct to Indirect Speech: In changing direct speech to indirect speech, the reporting verb is modified, pronouns are adjusted, and the form of the verb may change.
• Key Conversions:
• "Please help me, Ram." becomes "requested Ram to help her."
• Direct request "Please help me" is converted to indirect request "requested ... to help."
• Pronouns "me" and "Ram" are changed to "her" and "Ram" respectively for proper indirect narration.
• Punctuation and Format:
• No need for quotation marks in indirect speech.
• "Requested" accurately conveys the polite nature of the original plea.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: Sunita requested Ram to help her.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "Sunita asked Ram for help."
• While this captures the gist, it does not convey the politeness of the original request.
• Option 3: "Sunita asked Ram to help her."
• This option is close, but using "requested" is more appropriate for the polite nature of "Please."
• Option 4: "Sunita told Ram that she should be helped."
• This changes the nature of the request and is not as accurate as Option 2.

The correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

• The correct arrangement of the words/phrases forms the sentence: "Full employment still seems light years away."
• Sentence breakdown:
• ​Full employment (A) - The subject, indicating the concept being discussed.​
• Still (D) - An adverb that expresses a condition that continues to be the case.
• Seems (B) - The verb of the sentence indicating perception or appearance.
• Light (E) - This word does not logically fit within this sentence structure.
• Years away (C) - An adverbial clause indicating a distant point in time.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Correct Sentence: "Full employment still seems light years away."

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• The phrase "Since four years" is incorrect because "since" should be followed by a specific point in time, not a duration.
• The correct phrase should be "For four years" indicating the duration of time he has been teaching here.
• Thus, the error is located in part A of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: "For four years he has been teaching here."

Additional Information

• B: "years he" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• C: "has been" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• D: "teaching here." – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

The correct answer is Option 3.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Additional Information

• "Taken with" is often used in contexts where someone is charmed or fascinated by something or someone.
• Understanding the subtle differences in phrases with "taken" can help in choosing the correct one based on context.
• Always consider the meaning and context of the sentence when choosing the correct phrase.

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the correct use of the past perfect tense to indicate an action that was completed before another past action.
• The correct phrase should be "had asked" to ensure proper grammar and clarity.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Correct Sentence: "I would have helped you if you had asked me."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "asked" – This option is incorrect because it does not use the past perfect tense required for the sentence structure.
• Option 2: "ask" – This option is incorrect because it is in the present tense, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
• Option 4: "have asked" – This option is incorrect because it is in the present perfect tense, which is not suitable for the sentence structure.

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points

• The phrase "take after" means to resemble in appearance or character, especially a family member.
