The correct answer is 'to'.

Key Points

• The phrase "adhered strictly" requires the preposition "to" to indicate compliance with a specific set of rules or guidelines.
• The prepositions "for," "by," and "at" do not fit the grammatical or contextual meaning in this sentence.
• The correct expression is "adhered strictly to the code of conduct," which is a commonly accepted usage.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Complete Sentence: "She adhered strictly to the code of conduct."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "for" is incorrect because it indicates purpose or benefit, not adherence.
• Option 2: "by" is incorrect because it suggests the means or agent, which does not fit here.
• Option 4: "at" is incorrect as it refers to location or position.

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• The sentence contains an incorrect usage of the article "a" before the word "honest."
• The word "honest" begins with a vowel sound, so the correct article is "an."
• Singular countable nouns typically require an article ("a" or "an"), and the choice of article depends on the sound that follows.
• Thus, the correct phrase should be "an honest man," ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: "He is an honest man."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "the honest" – This option is incorrect because "the" is a definite article used to refer to specific nouns, and it does not fit the context here.
• Option 3: "one honest" – This option is incorrect as "one" is used for emphasis or numerical reference and does not fit naturally in the sentence.
• Option 4: "honest" – This option is incorrect as it omits the required article, making the sentence grammatically incomplete.

The correct answer is: Garrulous.

Key Points

• The word "Garrulous" refers to someone who is excessively talkative, especially on trivial matters. (बातूनी)
• Example: The garrulous old man spent hours telling stories about his childhood.
• "Talkative" means someone who talks a lot or enjoys talking, often to the point of being verbose. (बातूनी)
• Example: My neighbor is so talkative that our short conversations often stretch to an hour.
• Hence, the word that best describes "a person who is talkative" is 'Garrulous'.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Garrulous.

Additional Information

Here are the other options explained along with their Hindi meanings and example sentences:

• Introvert (अंतर्मुखी): A person who tends to be quiet, reserved, and introspective.
• Example: As an introvert, she often prefers reading a book over attending social gatherings.
• Reticent (मितभाषी ): Someone who is not inclined to share their thoughts or feelings readily.
• Example: He was reticent about his plans for the future, keeping them to himself.
• Taciturn (मौन, कम बोलने वाला): Someone who is naturally quiet and reserved, speaking very little.
• Example: He was taciturn during the meeting, barely contributing to the discussion.

The correct answer is Option 1.

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: "They can be delivering the goods tomorrow."
• To convert to passive voice: Place the object "the goods" at the beginning.
• Change the active verb form "can be delivering" to "can be being delivered" (present possibility passive).
• Ensure the time phrase "tomorrow" remains at the end of the sentence for clarity.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Correct Sentence: "The goods can be being delivered tomorrow."

Additional Information

• Option 2: "The goods shall be delivering tomorrow." – Incorrect tense and structure.
• Option 3: "The goods can deliver tomorrow." – Incorrect voice (active instead of passive).
• Option 4: "The goods can be delivered tomorrow." – Incorrect form; does not match the continuous aspect of the original sentence.

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 passive voice, the sentence is: "A decision will have been taken by the committee."
• To convert to active voice: Place the subject "the committee" at the beginning.
• Change the passive verb form "will have been taken" to "will have taken" (future perfect active).
• Ensure the object "a decision" remains after the verb for clarity.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: "The committee will have taken a decision."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "The committee will take a decision." – Incorrect tense (future simple active).
• Option 3: "The committee took a decision." – Incorrect tense (past simple active).
• Option 4: "The committee has taken a decision." – Incorrect tense (present perfect active).

The correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

• The phrase "with a view to" is followed by a gerund (verb + -ing), not an infinitive.
• In the sentence, "with a view to meet" is incorrect because "meet" is in its base form instead of the gerund form "meeting."
• The correct phrase should be "with a view to meeting," which is grammatically appropriate.
• Thus, the sentence requires modification to ensure correctness and clarity.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Correct Sentence: "He came here with a view to meeting his old friend."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "to meet with" – This phrase is not appropriate in this context as it alters the meaning of the sentence.
• Option 2: "for meeting" – This phrase is grammatically incorrect and does not fit the intended meaning.
• Option 3: "in view to meet" – This phrase is incorrect and ungrammatical.

The correct answer is Option 1.

Key Points

• The phrase "discussed on the issue" is grammatically incorrect as the verb "discuss" does not require a preposition like "on."
• The correct usage is "discussed the issue," which directly follows the verb with the object.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Correct Sentence: "The manager discussed the issue in detail."

Additional Information

• Option 2: "discussed about the issue" – Incorrect due to redundancy, as "discuss" does not require "about."
• Option 3: "explained the issue" – Incorrect as it alters the intended meaning of the sentence.
• Option 4: "talked over the issue" – Incorrect as it is less formal and changes the tone of the sentence.

The correct answer is Option (3) i.e. BCDA

Key Points

• The sentence begins with the subject "The workers," which is correctly indicated by part (B).
• Following the subject, "went on strike" (BC) continues the logical sequence, making it clear what the workers did.
• The next part, "after the management rejected" (BCD) explains the reason for the strike.
• Ending with "their demands" (BCDA) completes the sentence by stating what was rejected by the management.

Therefore, the correct answer is BCDA.

Additional Information

• Option 1 (DBAC): This option starts with "after the management rejected the workers went on strike," which makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
• Option 2 (DACB): This option starts with "after the management rejected their demands the workers," which disrupts the logical subject-verb-object flow.
• Option 4 (BACD): This option starts with "the workers their demands went on strike after the management rejected," which is confusing and grammatically incorrect.

The correct answer is Option 1.
