Key Points

While changing the narration of an exclamatory sentence, we need to follow steps

• Whenever we change the speech the conjunction 'that' is used in place of commas and inverted commas.
• In an exclamatory sentence, ‘said’ in the sentence is replaced with words like ‘exclaimed’, ‘remarked’, ‘blamed’, ‘applauded’ according to the sentence.
• We will convert the given sentence from exclamatory to Assertive then make changes into like we do while changing the narration of an assertive sentence.
• In reported speech, always the third person is used and the tense is always past tense.
• The past tense of ‘is’ is ‘was’.

**Eventually, we will get the final sentence- "The teacher remarked that it was an excellent essay."

The correct solution is option 3 i.e. Massive.

​The meaning of the given words are:

• Tiny means something very small.
• Small means something of a size that is less than normal or usual.
• Massive means something exceptionally large.
• Miniature means very small of its kind.

The given word 'Vast' means something of very great extent or quantity; immense. So, the word that has a similar or closest meaning to the given word is 'massive'.

The correct solution is option 4 i.e. ‘of’.

• The given options are prepositions which are short words that usually stand in front of nouns.
• 'with' is used when in company or presence of somebody/something.
• 'by’ identifies the agent performing an action.
• ‘for’ is used for a length of time.
• 'of' is used as belonging to somebody; relating to somebody.

In the sentence, it talks about the book which belongs to great renown. So, the correct preposition must be 'of'.

The correct solution is option 1.

While changing the narration of an interrogative sentence, we need to follow steps

• Whenever the sentence is an interrogative ‘That’ is omitted.
• ‘Said’ in the sentence is replaced with words like ‘asked’ or ‘enquired’.
• The above sentence is an interrogative sentence but it is a Yes/no question. When changing the narration of this type of question ‘If/whether’ is used.
• Here the given direct speech is in past tense so while changing it to indirect speech past tense in direct speech becomes past perfect tense.
• The verb here is ‘did you see’ which is in past tense whose past perfect tense would be ‘had seen’.

Eventually, we will get the final sentence- "My friend asked me whether I had seen Salman Khan's latest movie."

The correct solution is option 1 i.e. B.​

• In sentence A, 'solar power' is singular but 'sources' which is used to indicate it is plural. So it is wrong.
• In sentence C, there is a missing word between 'claimed' and 'fifth'
• In sentence D, 'been' is wrong because the making of plans is still in progress.

So, sentence B is the grammatically correct sentence. 

The correct sentence is, 'Attracting and retaining the right talent with domain knowledge and experience is important.'

The correct solution is option 3 i.e. Undo.

​The meaning of the given words are:

• Webbing means a strong, closely woven fabric used for making items such as straps and belts, and for supporting the seats of upholstered chairs.
• Fishnet means a fabric with an open mesh resembling a fishing net.
• Undo means unfasten, untie, or loosen (something).
• Mesh means material made of a network of wire or thread.

The given word 'lace' means to entwine (things, especially fingers) together.  So, the word opposite in meaning to the given word is 'Undo'.

The correct solution is option 1 i.e. whether his appearance is.

• In the sentence, 'whether' is grammatically incorrect.
• 'Whether' means to express a doubt or choice between alternatives.
• Here in the sentence, there is no condition or there are no alternatives to make choice from. So, 'whether' is wrong.

The correct solution is option 3 i.e. not to enter.

• The above sentence is in indirect speech and is an imperative sentence.
• In an indirect speech of an imperative sentence, 'that' is limited and 'to + verb' is used.
• Here the verb is 'enter' so 'to enter' must be in its indirect speech. As it is negative so 'not to enter' must be used.

So, the correct solution is,The principal told me not to enter his office without permission
