  1. ((a))

    (d) (c) (b) (a)

  2. ((b))

    (b) (a) (c) (d)

  3. ((c))

    (c) (b) (a) (d)

  4. ((d))

    (a) (b) (c) (d)

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

(c) (b) (a) (d)

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points

  • The sentence begins with the subject "the goal of public distribution system," which is correctly indicated by part (c).
  • Following the subject, "is to create an infrastructure" (b) follows logically, outlining what the goal is.
  • The next part, "for the distribution of food," continues the explanation and completes the infrastructure phrase, indicated by (a).
  • Ending with "to the poor and the needy" (d) specifies the recipients of the food distribution, completing the sentence.

Therefore, the correct order is (c), (b), (a), (d).

Additional Information

  • Option 1 (d), (c), (b), (a): This option starts with "to the poor and the needy, the goal of public distribution system is to create an infrastructure for the distribution of food," which places the subject and context in an awkward order.
  • Option 2 (b), (a), (c), (d): This option starts with "is to create an infrastructure for the distribution of food, the goal of public distribution system to the poor and the needy," which incorrectly leads with the verb phrase, making the sentence unclear.
  • Option 4 (a), (b), (c), (d): This option starts with "for the distribution of food, is to create an infrastructure the goal of public distribution system to the poor and the needy," resulting in a confusing and grammatically incorrect sentence.

Change the following sentence from Active Voice to Passive Voice.

The police arrested the thief.

  1. ((a))

    The thief had been arrested by the police.

  2. ((b))

    The thief was arrested by the police.

  3. ((c))

    The thief is arrested by the police.

  4. ((d))

    The thief was being arrested by the police.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

The thief was arrested by the police.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

  • Passive voice structure: The object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
  • In the active voice, the sentence is: "The police arrested the thief."
  • To convert to passive voice: Begin with the object "the thief".
  • Change the active verb form "arrested" to "was arrested" (simple past passive).
  • Add the preposition "by" followed by the original subject "the police".

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: "The thief was arrested by the police."

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: "The thief had been arrested by the police." – Incorrect tense (past perfect passive).
  • Option 3: "The thief is arrested by the police." – Incorrect tense (simple present passive).
  • Option 4: "The thief was being arrested by the police." – Incorrect tense (past continuous passive).

Fill in the blanks with the correct preposition.

The old man is yet to recover ________ his illness.

  1. ((a))

    with 

  2. ((b))

    of

  3. ((c))

    from

  4. ((d))

    off

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

from

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

  • The correct preposition to use in this context is "from".
  • "Recover from" is the correct phrase when referring to healing or getting better after an illness.
  • Using "from" indicates the origin of the recovery process.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: "The old man is yet to recover from his illness."

 

Additional Information

  • With – This preposition is not suitable in this context as it does not convey recovery from an illness.
  • Of – This preposition is also incorrect in this context as it does not convey the correct meaning.
  • Off – This preposition is incorrect in this context as it does not convey the correct meaning.
4

Choose the correct tense form of the underlined expression from the given options.

I shall talk to him as soon as I have finished my work.

  1. ((a))

    Present Indefinite

  2. ((b))

    Present Continuous

  3. ((c))

    Present Perfect

  4. ((d))

    Present Perfect Continuous

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Present Perfect

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

  • In the given sentence, the action of finishing the work is to be completed before the action of talking to him.
  • This means the first action (finishing the work) will be completed in the present perfect tense before the second action (talking to him) occurs.
  • The correct tense to use here is the present perfect tense to indicate an action that will be completed before another future action.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

5

Change the following sentence from Direct Speech into Indirect Speech.

My teacher said to me, 'If you don't work hard, you won't pass.'

  1. ((a))

    My teacher told me that me that if he did not work hard, he would not pass.

  2. ((b))

    My teacher told me that if I did not work hard, I would not pass.

  3. ((c))

    My teacher told me that me that if he did not working hard, he would not pass.

  4. ((d))

    My teacher told me that me that if him did not work hard, he would not pass.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

My teacher told me that if I did not work hard, I would not pass.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

  • When converting direct speech to indirect speech, we need to adjust the pronouns, verb tenses, and sometimes the word order to fit the new structure.
  • In the original sentence: "My teacher said to me, 'If you don't work hard, you won't pass.'" :
  • The reporting verb "said to" changes to "told."
  • The pronouns "you" (subject) and "you" (object) change to "I" (subject) and "I" (object) to match the perspective of the speaker.
  • The verb tense in the conditional clause "don't work" changes to "didn't work," and "won't pass" changes to "would not pass."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: "My teacher told me that if I did not work hard, I would not pass."

Identify the part which contains an error.

A good employee (1)/ is one (2)/ which is (3)/ punctual and efficient.(4)

  1. ((a))

    (1)

  2. ((b))

    (2)

  3. ((c))

    (3)

  4. ((d))

    (4)

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

(3)

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

  • The primary issue in the sentence is the use of the word "which" instead of "who" when referring to a person.
  • In English grammar, "who" is used to refer to people, while "which" is used for things and animals.
  • The correct phrase should be "is one who" to ensure grammatical correctness and clarity.
  • Thus, the error is located in part 3 of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is 3.

 

Correct Sentence: "A good employee is one who is punctual and efficient."

 

Additional Information

  • 1: "A good employee" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
  • 2: "is one" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
  • 4: "punctual and efficient." – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

Rakesh is bent upon having a fight with his neighbour.

  1. ((a))

    Conjunction

  2. ((b))

    Noun

  3. ((c))

    Preposition

  4. ((d))

    Pronoun

Show Answer
Answer: ((c))

Preposition

The correct answer is Option 3.

  • Prepositions are used to show the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence. In this case, "upon" shows the relationship between "bent" and "having."
  • In the sentence, "Rakesh is bent upon having a fight with his neighbour," the preposition "upon" connects the phrase "bent upon" with "having."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Example: "She placed the vase upon the table." In this sentence, "upon" is also used as a preposition to show the relationship between "placed" and "table."

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: Conjunction – A word used to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate words in the same clause (e.g., and, but, if).
  • Option 2: Noun – A word that refers to a person, place, thing, event, substance, or quality (e.g., teacher, city, book).
  • Option 4: Pronoun – A word that takes the place of a noun (e.g., he, she, it, they).

    Both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Show Answer
Answer: ((b))

The statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question while the statement I alone is not sufficient.

Given:

Question: What was the age of Sumit in the year 2021?

Statements:

Statement I: Gaurav is five years older than Sumit.

Statement I only provides the age relationship between Gaurav and Sumit. It doesn't give us any specific age or birth year for either of them.

Therefore, this statement alone is insufficient to determine Sumit's age in 2021.

Statement II: Sumit was born in the year 1999.

Statement II tells us that Sumit was born in 1999. We can use this information to calculate Sumit's age in 2021.

Sumit's age in 2021 = 2021 - 1999 = 22 years.

Therefore, Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 2".
