Key Points

• Passive voice structure: The object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
• In the passive voice sentence, "It is going to be constructed by them within a few weeks."
• To convert to active voice: Place the subject "they" at the beginning of the sentence.
• Change the passive verb form "is going to be constructed" to "are going to construct" (future continuous active).
• Ensure the object "it" remains at the end of the sentence, followed by the time phrase "within a few weeks."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: "They are going to construct it within a few weeks."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "They are going to construct it with a few weeks." – Incorrect preposition ("with" instead of "within").
• Option 3: "They are going to construct something within a few weeks." – Incorrect as it uses "something" instead of the specific object "it."
• Option 4: "They are going to constructed it within a few weeks." – Incorrect tense ("constructed" instead of "construct").

The correct answer is Option 3.

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 hungry dog was gently fed by the owner."
• To convert to active voice: Place the original subject "the owner" at the beginning.
• Use the correct active verb form "gently fed" to match the action in the passive sentence.
• Ensure the object "the hungry dog" remains at the end of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Correct Sentence: "The owner gently fed the hungry dog."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "The owner gently fed up the hungry dog." – Incorrect use of "fed up," which changes the meaning of the sentence.
• Option 2: "The owner fed the hungry dog." – While grammatically correct, it misses the adverb "gently" from the original passive sentence.
• Option 4: "The owner gently feeding the hungry dog." – Grammatically incorrect as it is a fragment and lacks proper tense.

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• Passive voice structure: The subject of the passive voice sentence becomes the object of the active voice sentence.
• In the passive voice, the sentence is: "The editorial is written by Mamatha."
• To convert to active voice: Place the subject "Mamatha" at the beginning.
• Change the passive verb form "is written" to "writes" (present simple active).
• Ensure the sentence structure is correct and conveys the same meaning as the original.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: "Mamatha writes the editorial."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "Mamatha has writing the editorial." – Incorrect grammar (incorrect tense structure).
• Option 3: "Mamatha is writes the editorial." – Incorrect grammar (redundant auxiliary verb).
• Option 4: "Mamatha writing the editorial." – Incorrect grammar (missing auxiliary verb).

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 truth must be told by you."
• To convert to active voice: Place the original subject "you" at the beginning.
• Change the passive verb form "must be told" to "must tell" (active modal verb structure).
• Ensure the object "the truth" remains after the verb for proper sentence structure.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Correct Sentence: "You must tell the truth."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "You must have told the truth." – Incorrect tense (past modal).
• Option 2: "You ought to tell the truth." – Incorrect modal verb usage ("ought to" instead of "must").
• Option 3: "You must be telling the truth." – Incorrect aspect (present continuous).

The correct answer is: Option 2 (Support).

Key Points

• The word "back" in this context means to give support or approval to something. (समर्थन करना)
• Example: The investor decided to back the new startup despite the risks involved.
• "Support" refers to providing assistance, encouragement, or approval to someone or something. (सहायता करना/समर्थन)
• Example: Her family supported her decision to pursue her dreams abroad.
• In the given statement, “The company refused to back the project,” the word “back” clearly means support as the company is declining to assist or approve the project.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Option 2 (Support).

Additional Information

• Pack (पैक करना): To put items into a container, especially for transport or storage.

The correct answer is 'to'.

Key Points

• The preposition "to" is used to indicate a relationship or connection, such as in the context of marriage.
• In this sentence, "She is married to a businessman" conveys the correct relationship between the subject and the businessman.
• Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect because they do not fit the grammatical or contextual requirements of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Complete Sentence: "She is married to a businessman."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "at" is incorrect as "at" does not convey a relational connection in this context.
• Option 2: "with" is incorrect because "married with" is not a grammatically appropriate phrase in English.
• Option 3: "for" is incorrect as it does not express the intended relationship.

The correct answer is 'who'.

Key Points

• The word "who" is a relative pronoun used to refer to a person or people.
• In this sentence, we are referring to a man, and "who" is the appropriate relative pronoun to describe him.
• Options 1, 2, and 4 are grammatically incorrect in the context.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Complete Sentence: "I saw a man who was wearing a black coat."

Additional Information

• Option 1: "which" is incorrect because it refers to objects, not people.
• Option 2: "whom" is incorrect because it is used in the objective case, not the subject case.
• Option 4: "whose" is incorrect because it indicates possession, which is irrelevant here.

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points

• The phrase "a good advice" is incorrect because the word "advice" is an uncountable noun and cannot be preceded by the article "a" or "an."
• Uncountable nouns like "advice," "information," and "furniture" do not take an article like "a" or "an."
• The correct usage would be "some good advice" or simply "good advice."
• Thus, the error is located in Option 3, which contains the phrase "a good advice."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Correct Sentence: "She gave me good advice."
