Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'the alcohol will slowly evaporate' should be used instead of 'the alcohol will slowly evaporates'.
• The given sentence is in the future indefinite tense.
• The structure of these kinds of sentences is: Subject + shall/ will + base form of the verb + object.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

The correct option is: Lethal.

Key Points

• "Mortal" in this context refers to something that is subject to death or fatal. (नश्वर)
• ​For example: Every mortal has their own unique journey through the tapestry of life.
• "Lethal" means sufficient to cause death, which is synonymous with "mortal" when discussing fate. (घातक)
• For Example: A single dose of the substance was lethal enough to endanger life.
• The term "mortal" is frequently used in existential discussions, as well as in the context of human vulnerability and the inevitability of death.
• "Delightful," "Sincere," and "Overjoyed" are not synonyms for "mortal." These words carry completely

Therefore, the correct answer is 'option 4'.

Additional Information

The correct answer is: all that happened

Key Points

• Replace "all which happen" with "all that happened" to make the sentence correct.
• "which" is used to add information to objects, items, people, situations, etc. Because "which" indicates a non-restrictive (optional) clause.
• Example - She seemed more talkative than usual, which was because she was nervous.
• "That" is used to indicate a specific object, item, person, condition, etc.
• Example - I didn't know that she was married.
• "Yesterday" is mentioned in the sentence therefore we have to use "happened" as it is referring to some past incidents.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

Corrected sentence: I am sorry for all that happened yesterday.

The correct answer is "was punished"

Key Points

• The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is "was punished" (option 2).
• "was punished" - This option is grammatically correct and suitable for the sentence as it uses the correct verb form for the subject "he". The past tense form of "punish" is "punished".
• Example: She was punished for breaking the school rules.

Hence, the correct answer is "was punished"

Additional InformationLet's see the other given options:

• "were punish" - This option is grammatically incorrect as "were" is the past tense form of "be" which cannot be used with "punish". It should be "were punished" or "was punished" depending on the subject of the sentence.
• Example: They were punished for their misbehavior.
• "have punish" - This option is grammatically incorrect as it uses the wrong verb form. "Have" is a helping verb used to form the present perfect tense, but "punish" is a transitive verb that requires an object. The correct form would be "have punished".
• Example: They have punished the students who were caught cheating.
• "have punished" - This option is grammatically correct, but it does not fit well in the given sentence as it refers to a completed action in the past with a present perfect tense which suggests a connection to the present. The past simple tense would be more appropriate in this case.
• Example: The teacher has punished the student for his mistake.

The correct answer is '2' i.e. The student said, "The teacher has explained the lesson clearly." .

Key Points

• The given sentence is in indirect speech, and the task is to convert it into direct speech.
• In indirect speech, the past perfect tense (had explained) turns into present perfect tense (has explained) when converted to direct speech.
• The correct option is Option 2: The student said, "The teacher has explained the lesson clearly."

Correct sentence: The student said, "The teacher has explained the lesson clearly.".

Additional Information

• Rules for converting indirect to direct speech:
• In the past perfect tense, the verb remains unchanged in direct speech.
• Quotation marks (" ") are used to enclose the statement.
• Ensure the reporting verb (said) is followed by a comma before the quoted speech.
• Other options explained:
• Option 1: Incorrect because it uses the simple past tense (explained), which changes the tense.
• Option 3: Incorrect because it uses the past perfect tense (had explained), which is inconsistent with the original tense.
• Option 4: Incorrect because it uses the simple present tense (explains), which is inconsistent with the original tense.
