The correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

• Indirect Speech: They said that they had already completed their homework.
• Key Conversions:
• "they had already completed" becomes "we have already completed"
• The past perfect tense "had already completed" is converted to present perfect tense "have already completed" in direct speech.
• Pronoun "they" is changed to "we" to reflect the perspective of the speaker.
• Possessive pronoun "their" is changed to "our" to match the speaker's point of view.
• Punctuation:
• Direct speech is enclosed within quotation marks.
• Starts with a capital letter "We" and ends with a period "." inside the quotation marks.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "We already completed their homework."
• Incorrect possessive pronoun "their" instead of "our."
• Tense "already completed" is past simple, which is incorrect in direct speech here.
• Option 2: "We have completed our homework."
• Missing the word "already," which changes the meaning slightly.
• Option 3: "We have already completed homework of ours."
• Awkward phrasing with "homework of ours" instead of "our homework."

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the use of both "more" and "smarter" together, which results in redundancy.
• The word "smarter" is already a comparative adjective and does not need the word "more" before it.
• The correct sentence should use either "more smart" or simply "smarter."
• Thus, the error is located in Option 2 of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: "She is smarter than her sister."

The correct answer is Option (1) i.e. DBAC

Key Points

• The sentence begins with the subject, "The manager," which is correctly indicated by part (D).
• Following the subject, "asked him" (DB) continues the logical flow, forming the action of the sentence.
• The next part, "to submit," (DBA) specifies what the person is being asked to do.
• Ending with "the report" (DBAC) completes the sentence by stating what the action is about.

Correct sentence: The manager asked him to submit the report.

Therefore, the correct answer is DBAC.

Additional Information

• Option 2 (BACD): This option starts with "asked him to submit the manager," which is grammatically incorrect and changes the intended meaning.
• Option 3 (DBCA): This option starts with "The manager the report asked him to submit," which disrupts the logical flow of the sentence.
• Option 4 (DCAB): This option starts with "The manager to submit asked him the report," which creates a fragmented and confusing sentence structure.

The correct answer is option 3.

Key Points

The misspelled word is 'Surveliance'.

• The correct spelling would be 'Surveillance'.
• The word 'Surveillance' is a noun which means 'close observation, especially of a suspected spy or criminal'. (निगरानी)
• For Example -
• The police kept the suspect under constant surveillance.

Therefore, the correct answer would be 'Surveliance'.

Additional Information

• Insurmountable - too great to be overcome (अजेय)

The correct answer is option 1.

Key Points

The word containing an error is 'to' in the sentence.

• The correct phrase should be 'She arrived at the office early this morning.'
• The preposition 'at' is used to indicate a specific point or location, while 'to' is incorrect in this context.
• For Example -
• She arrived at the station just in time for the train.
• He arrived at the restaurant before everyone else.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'to'.

• Arrived - past tense of 'arrive,' meaning to reach a destination (पहुँचना)
• Office - a place where people work (कार्यालय)
• Morning - the early part of the day before noon (सुबह)

The correct answer is option 2.

Key Points

The correct spelling of the word is 'Odyssey'.

• An 'Odyssey' refers to 'a long adventurous journey'.
• The word 'Odyssey' is a noun derived from the epic poem attributed to Homer, which chronicles the adventurous journey of Odysseus after the Trojan War.
• For Example -
• The family embarked on an odyssey across Europe, exploring different cultures and landscapes.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Odyssey' (Option 2).

The correct answer is 'Into'.

Key Points

• The phrase "looked into" means to investigate or examine something carefully, which fits the context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Complete Sentence: "The police looked into the matter."

Additional Information

• Option 2: "for" is incorrect because "looked for" means to search for something, not to investigate.
• Option 3: "by" is incorrect because "looked by" does not make sense in this context.
• Option 4: "at" is incorrect because "looked at" means to direct one’s gaze towards something, which is not the intended meaning here.

The correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

• Passive voice structure: The object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
• In the passive voice, the sentence is: "The letters were delivered by the postman."
• To convert to active voice: Place the subject "the postman" at the beginning.
• Change the passive verb form "were delivered" to its active form "delivered" (past simple active).
• Ensure the object "the letters" remains at the end of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Correct Sentence: "The postman delivered the letters."

The correct answer is: Assault.

Key Points

• The word "storm" in the given sentence does not refer to a weather phenomenon but metaphorically implies a sudden and aggressive attack or assault. (आक्रमण)
• Example: The castle was taken by storm by the invading army, leaving no chance for defense.
• "Assault" means a sudden and violent attack, often to seize control or gain dominance. (हमला)
• Example: The enemy launched an assault on the fort, catching the defenders off guard.
• Hence, the word "storm" in this context is appropriately associated with the term "assault."

Therefore, the correct answer is: Assault.
