  4. DOption (d)

    (D)

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

(C)

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is '(C)'.

Key Points 

  • The error lies in  Part (C) of the sentence.
  • Adjectives are usually placed before the nouns they modify, but when used with linking verbs, such as forms of to be or “sense” verbs, they are placed after the verb.
  • “Sense” verbs, such as look, seem, appear, taste, sound, feel, or smell, also demand a verb + adjective word order.
  • Example: The cookies smell awesome!
  • In this sentence, we need an adjective after the sense verb 'looked.'
  • ​Therefore, the use of 'quickly' in Part (C) of the sentence should be replaced with 'quick' to make it grammatically correct.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is '(C)'.
  • ​​Correct sentence: Even from a distance, Ethan’s pace looked quick.

Additional Information 

  • The meaning of the word 'sour' is having an acid taste like lemon or vinegar.
  • Example: S**he sampled the wine and found it was sour.

Hinglish 

  • त्रुटि वाक्य के Part (C) में निहित है।
  • Adjectives आमतौर पर उन nouns से पहले रखे जाते हैं जिन्हें वे संशोधित करते हैं, लेकिन जब verb को जोड़ने के साथ प्रयोग किया जाता है, जैसे कि to be या “sense” verbs के रूप में, उन्हें verb के बाद रखा जाता है।
  • “Sense” verbs, जैसे कि look, seem, appear, taste, sound, feel, or smell, भी verb + adjective क्रम की मांग करता है।
  • Example: The cookies smell awesome!
  • इस वाक्य में, हमें sense verb 'looked' के बाद एक adjective की आवश्यकता है।​
  • इसलिए, वाक्य के Part (C) में 'quickly' का उपयोग 'quick' के साथ प्रतिस्थापित किया जाना चाहिए, इसे व्याकरणिक रूप से सही बनाने के लिए।

Question 96

    Give the book.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Give me the book.

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is 'Give me the book.'

Key Points

Let's look at the steps to change the sentence from passive to active voice:

  • We need to follow these instructions while changing the voice of an imperative sentence.
  • The word 'Let' needs to be replaced by the 1st form of the verb, i.e., give.
  • The objective case of the pronoun needs to be used now. (me)
  • At last, line up the remaining part.

Following these steps, we finally get - "Give me the book."

Hinglish

  • एक imperative sentence की आवाज बदलते समय हमें इन निर्देशों का पालन करने की आवश्यकता है।
  • शब्द 'let' को क्रिया के पहले रूप से प्रतिस्थापित करने की आवश्यकता है, अर्थात देना।
  • सर्वनाम के objective case का अब उपयोग करने की आवश्यकता है। (me)
  • अंत में, शेष भाग को पंक्तिबद्ध करें।

इन चरणों का पालन करते हुए, हमें अंत में मिलता है - "Give me the book."

  • Ashok asked Anil is the reporting verb, so it will be put at the beginning of the sentence.
  • About may or may not be used.

  • The reported speech begins with a wh-word, so it(what) will be used as the conjunction.
  • In order to make the sentence assertive, the subject will be used before the helping verb.
  • Past Indefinite Tense changes into Past Perfect Tense.
  • Tense will be changed accordingly.
  • You will be changed according to Anil.
