The correct answer is Have the children put away the toys?

Key Points

• Whenever we change from active to the passive form we use the general order as 'Object+ Auxillary verb+Past participle+by+Subject'.
• Here, the verb used is 'have' which is used for 'toys', in passive voice will remain 'have' for the plural object 'children'.
• In an interrogative sentence, the verbs like Has, Have, Had, Will, Shall, Can, May etc, do not change their position at the beginning of the sentence while changing the sentence from Active to Passive voice
• For e.g.- Had she finished the assignment? [Active voice]

​                         Had the work been finished by him? [Passive voice]

The correct solution- Have the children put away the toys?

Correct option: 1) which lives, the error lies in which lives because we do not use which for living things and moreover it is used for selection.Who is  a relative pronoun and should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence.

Look at the example given below:

 Anya is the one who rescued the bird.

Here the subject of the sentence is Anya  and who is used to refer to the subject of this sentence.

Correct option: 3) Modern

Vintage, means outmoded, old-fashioned, recognised and enduring interest.Used to describe something that is not new but that is valued because of its good condition, attractive design,etc.

Old means something which is aged.

Value means usefulness or importance, the price or cost of something.

Modern means relating to present time, something which is new.

Wine is a alcoholic drink extracted from grapes.

We have to find the antonym of Vintage, the best suited option is Modern.

The correct answer is '3' i.e. good news .

Key Points

• The word "news" is an uncountable noun in English, even though it ends in 's'.
• Uncountable nouns cannot be used with indefinite articles like "a" or "an", nor do they typically take a definite article "the" unless referring to specific, previously mentioned information.
• When introducing information for the first time, we simply use the noun without an article or use a phrase like "some news" or "a piece of news."
• In this context, "good news" is the most natural and grammatically correct way to improve the sentence.

Correct sentence: I have good news for you.

Why other options are incorrect

• Option 1 ("no any good news"): This is a double negative/redundancy error. You can say "no good news" or "not any good news," but "no any" is grammatically incorrect.
• Option 2 ("an good news"): This is incorrect because "news" is uncountable and cannot take the article "an." Additionally, "an" is only used before vowel sounds; "good" starts with a consonant sound.
• Option 4 ("No improvement"): The original "the good news" implies that the listener already knows which news is being discussed. Since the sentence is usually used to introduce new information, "good news" is the better general choice.

Correct option: 4) Radiant means having or showing an attractive quality of happiness, love, health, bright and shining.

Lack-luster means lacking excitement or interest.

Boring means dull and uninteresting.

Routine means a regular way of doing things in a particular order.

Unimaginative means something that cannot be imagined.

Hence, Radiant is the only suitable option.

Correct option:1) Capable is the correct option, it means to be able and competent.

Competent means having the necessary ability and skills.

Unskilled means without training or education.

Inefficient not capable of producing desired results without wasting materials, not efficient.

slow means not able to move quickly.

Hence, Capable is the only correct option.

Correct option: 4) for is the most suitable preposition here,the correct sentence will be-Whom did we hire for the manager's post?

At :

At (to indicate a place)- There are a good number of people at the park.Generally at is used to denote smaller places.

At (to refer a time) — Meet me at 5 p.m. tomorrow.

At (indicate one’s activity)-John laughed at my acting in the play.

For :

For (to indicate the reason or because of) — I am really happy for you.

For (to indicate the duration or time) — I attended the session for one year only.

For (specify the use of something) — She is preparing for her final exam.

Correct option: 4) She said, "I am going to the mall with my sister."

Here we have an indirect speech and we have to convert it into direct speech so change of tense will take place i.e. past continuous will be changed into present continuous.

'She' will be changed into 'I'.

'Her' will be changed into 'my'.

Only option 4 conforms to the above said changes, hence option 4 is the correct option.

Correct option: 4) Cope out is the correct option because it doesn't give appropriate sense to the sentence.Cope out must be replaced with cope.

The correct sentence will be-I cannot cope with the work pressure.

Cope with means to deal or handle something
