Key Points

• The term "fighting" is used as a noun in the given sentence.
• It represents an action or a thing, not an action being performed (which would make it a verb).
• In this context, it refers to the event of combat or conflict.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

 

Additional Information

• Option 2: Verb – "Fighting" can be a verb in other contexts, but here it acts as a noun.
• Option 3: Adjective – "Fighting" does not describe any noun here, so it's not an adjective.
• Option 4: Adverb – "Fighting" is not modifying any verb, adjective, or other adverb here.

The correct answer is Option 4.

 

Key Points

• To convert a sentence from active to passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
• The verb form should be changed to the appropriate form of "to be" followed by the past participle of the main verb.
• The subject of the active sentence becomes the agent in the passive sentence, usually preceded by "by".
• In this case, "She is writing a letter." becomes "A letter is being written by her."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

 

Correct Sentence: "A letter is being written by her."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: "A letter was being written by her." - Incorrect tense.
• Option 2: "A letter has been written by her." - Incorrect aspect.
• Option 3: "A letter was written by her." - Incorrect tense.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• In indirect narration, the question format is changed into a statement format.
• The reporting verb "said" is changed to "asked" or "enquired" when converting a question.
• The question mark is omitted in indirect speech.
• "Why are you late today" changes to "why she was late that day" to maintain the correct tense and pronoun usage.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: "The teacher asked Sheela why she was late that day."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: Incorrect placement of "was" before "she".
• Option 2: Incorrect due to the question mark at the end.
• Option 4: "Enquired" is less commonly used and "asked" is more appropriate in this context.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• The sentence needs to be formed in a logical and grammatically correct manner.
• Starting with "before I" (D) indicates the prerequisite actions needed before the speaker can help.
• The sequence should lead with (D) before introducing the subject and actions. Therefore, (B) "can help you," follows "before I" logically.
• Next, (E) "I" must bracket the statement, completing the clause "before I can help you, I."
• The phrase "must know" (A) must pair with "all the facts" (C) to make a complete thought "must know all the facts."
• Thus, the correct order is (D) (B) (E) (A) (C).

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: Before I can help you, I must know all the facts.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: (B) (D) (C) (A) (E) – This sequence starts with the fragment "can help you, before I all the facts must know I," which is not grammatically correct.
• Option 3: (C) (B) (A) (E) (D) – This sequence starts with "all the facts can help you must know I before," which doesn't make sense.
• Option 4: (A) (C) (E) (D) (B) – This sequence starts with "must know all the facts I before can help you," which isn't logical or grammatically correct.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect verb form "saw" in part C.
• Since the sentence is in the present perfect tense, the correct verb form should be "seen."
• The correct phrase should be "Have either of you seen my book?" ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
• Thus, the error is located in part C of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is C.

 

Correct Sentence: "Have either of you seen my book?"

 

Additional Information

• A: "Have" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• B: "either of" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• D: "my book?" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• The correct form of the verb to use in this context is "was laying" as it describes an action that was ongoing at the specific time the phone rang.
• "Has been laying" is incorrect as it implies an action that started in the past and is still continuing.
• "Has laid" is incorrect because it is the present perfect tense of the verb "to lay" and does not fit the past continuous context.
• "Had been laid" is incorrect as it is the past perfect passive form, which does not fit the active context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: "At the time the phone rang, she was laying the table."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: "has been laying" – This is incorrect because it suggests that the action started in the past and continues to the present.
• Option 3: "has laid" – This is incorrect because it is the present perfect tense and does not fit the context of an ongoing past action.
• Option 4: "had been laid" – This is incorrect as it is the past perfect passive form and does not match the active form required in the sentence.

The correct answer is Option 1.

 

Key Points

• The term "broken out" is typically used to describe the sudden occurrence or outbreak of something, particularly diseases, conflicts, or other significant events.
• "Broken off" generally means to detach or discontinue, which does not fit the context of an outbreak.
• "Broken up" often refers to the end of a relationship or the scattering of a group, which is not applicable here.
• "Broken with" implies ending an association or agreement, which is not relevant to the context of a disease outbreak.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• In the context of the sentence, "call on" is the correct phrasal verb.
• "Call on" means to visit someone, which fits the context of visiting Delhi.
• "Call up" means to telephone someone, which is not implied in this context.
• "Call at" typically refers to stopping at a place, not visiting a person.
• "Call for" means to demand or require, which does not fit the context.

• The focus of the RTE is on learning outcomes rather than traditional examinations, and it encourages a more child-centric approach to education, ensuring that children are given the necessary support to progress.
• This provision is aimed at reducing stress and pressure on young students and promoting inclusive and holistic learning rather than focusing solely on exam results.

Thus, it is concluded that As per RTE Act 2009, no child shall be detained upto class 8th.

Mental health support is crucial for children, especially in school environments where academic and social pressures can affect their well-being.

Key Points

• Without professional counselors, children may lack the necessary guidance to cope with stress, anxiety, bullying, family issues, or other personal challenges, which can contribute to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or behavioral problems.
• Counselors provide a safe space for children to express themselves and receive professional support, which helps in early identification and intervention of mental health issues.
• This absence can lead to undiagnosed or untreated mental health conditions, which may escalate over time.

Thus, it is concluded that If Professional Counsellors are not available in school it may lead to increasing mental illness among children.

• The policy aims to address the early learning gaps and ensure that every child develops a solid foundation for academic success.
• Foundational Literacy: The ability to read, write, and comprehend text.
• Foundational Numeracy: The ability to understand and work with numbers and basic mathematical concepts.

• The SMC is intended to provide a platform for the participation of parents, teachers, and local authorities in the management of the school, ensuring that the education system is responsive to the needs of the community.
• The committee is responsible for various tasks such as ensuring proper implementation of the RTE Act, monitoring school activities, and ensuring quality education for children.

Thus, it is concluded that the section of the RTE Act 2009 that deals with the School Management Committee is 21.

The Right to Education (RTE) Act 2009 was enacted in India to ensure free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 years. It aims to provide a quality education system that is inclusive and accessible for all children, ensuring they receive the right foundation for their future.

• Mohan provided advice and guidance to the family and acted as a supportive figure, which aligns with the role of a well-wisher.
• Following the story, his behavior towards Selvi and her family shows his genuine interest in their well-being.
• Therefore, Mohan came to know Selvi's family as a well-wisher.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

 

Correct Sentence: Mohan came to know Selvi's family as a well-wisher.

 

Additional Information

• Option 2: A photographer – While Mohan was a photographer, this option does not capture the nature of his relationship with Selvi's family.
• Option 3: A musician – Mohan is not described as a musician in the passage.
• Option 4: Her secretary – Mohan did not act as Selvi's secretary or perform secretarial duties.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• When Selvi sang, Mohan showed signs of being deeply moved and totally absorbed by her music.
• This behavior indicates that his attraction towards Selvi was due to her musical talent.
• The passage describes how Mohan would sit on the floor with his eyes shut, suggesting a profound appreciation for her music.
• Therefore, the correct option must reflect Mohan's attraction to her music rather than her family wealth, looks, or social status.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: He was attracted towards her music.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: Family wealth – The passage mentions the family's financial struggles, making this option incorrect.
• Option 2: Looks – There is no mention in the passage of Mohan being attracted to Selvi for her physical appearance.
• Option 4: Social status – The family's social status is not high; thus, this option is also incorrect.

The correct answer is Option 4.

 

Key Points

• The passage mentions that Selvi was brought up by her mother and learnt music from her.
• It is also noted that her siblings accompanied her on their instruments while she practiced.
• Thus, it confirms that her mother played a significant role in teaching her music.
• The word "rumour" indicates what people speculated about, and according to Varma, the gossip was that Selvi's mother was her music teacher.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

 

Correct Sentence: Rumour was that her mother was her music teacher.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: Selvi was born to rich parents – The passage clearly indicates the financial difficulties Selvi's family faced, making this option incorrect.

• Option 3: Won prizes at music competitions – While this is true, it is not the focus of the rumour mentioned.

The correct answer is: Option 3.

• Explanation: The passage describes how Mohan often visited Selvi's family, provided them with advice and guidance, and acted as a supportive figure. This aligns with statement (A), indicating that it is correct.
• Furthermore, the passage makes no mention of Mohan offering any financial assistance to the family. Instead, his contributions are described in terms of advice and moral support. Thus, statement (B) is also correct.

In summary, both (A) and (B) are right because the provided passage indicates that Mohan assisted the family with advice and guidance but did not provide financial help.

The correct answer is: kind-hearted.

Key Points

• Explanation: The word "benign" generally means gentle, kind, or harmless. In the given passage, Mohan is described as behaving "as a benign God" to Selvi's family, indicating that he was kind-hearted and supportive towards them.
• Based on the context, the correct interpretation of "benign" in this passage aligns with being "kind-hearted."

• In this particular sentence, "return" is asking someone to perform the action of giving back the book.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Additional Information

• Adjective: It describes or modifies a noun. There is no adjective in the given sentence.
• Adverb: It modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb. In this sentence, "today" is an adverb modifying the verb "return."

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• The sentence needs to be formed in a logical and grammatically correct manner.
• Starting with "the lake" (C) introduces the subject of the sentence.
• Following it with "offers facilities" (B) forms the main predicate, indicating what the subject does.
• Including "for rowing" (A) followed by "as well as fishing" (D) completes the sentence by specifying the types of facilities offered.
• Thus, the correct order is (C) (B) (A) (D).

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: The lake offers facilities for rowing as well as fishing.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: (C) (D) (B) (A) – This sequence forms "The lake as well as fishing offers facilities for rowing," which is not grammatically correct.
• Option 3: (A) (B) (C) (D) – This sequence forms "For rowing offers facilities the lake as well as fishing," which doesn't make sense.
• Option 4: (D) (C) (B) (A) – This sequence forms "As well as fishing the lake offers facilities for rowing," which isn't logical or grammatically correct.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• The sentence needs to be formed in a logical and grammatically correct manner.
• Starting with "do consider" (D) introduces the imperative statement.
• Following it with "this option" (C) specifies what is to be considered.
• Including "and put it" (B) followed by "before Daddy" (A) completes the sentence by indicating the action to be carried out after the consideration.
• Thus, the correct order is (D) (C) (B) (A).

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: Do consider this option and put it before Daddy.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: (A) (B) (D) (C) – This sequence forms "Before Daddy and put it do consider this option," which is not grammatically correct.
• Option 2: (B) (A) (C) (D) – This sequence forms "And put it before Daddy this option do consider," which doesn't make sense.
• Option 4: (D) (B) (C) (A) – This sequence forms "Do consider and put it this option before Daddy," which isn't logical or grammatically correct.

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 active voice, the sentence is: "I have written a note for the meeting."
• To convert to passive voice: Place the object "a note for the meeting" at the beginning.
• Change the active verb form "have written" to "has been written" (present perfect passive).
• Add the preposition "by" followed by the original subject "me."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

 

Correct Sentence: A note for the meeting has been written by me.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: "A note has been written by me for the meeting." – Grammatically correct but the placement of "for the meeting" at the end makes it less natural.
• Option 3: "A note for the meeting by me has been written." – Incorrect word order.
• Option 4: "A note had been written by me for the meeting." – Incorrect tense (past perfect instead of present perfect).

The correct answer is Option 4.

 

Key Points

• In passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
• The phrase "A feeling of guilt" in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
• The phrase "will at last overpower him" should be transformed to "will at last be overpowered by a feeling of guilt."
• Thus, the correct transformation is: "He will at last be overpowered by a feeling of guilt."

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

 

Correct Sentence: "He will at last be overpowered by a feeling of guilt."

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: "At last he will feel guilty being overpowered." – This sentence changes the meaning and does not accurately reflect the original sentence.
• Option 2: "He would be at last overpowered by a feeling of guilt." – This sentence uses "would" instead of "will," which alters the meaning.
• Option 3: "At last he will be overpowered with a feeling of guilt." – This sentence uses "with" instead of "by," which is less precise.
• Option 4: "He will at last be overpowered by a feeling of guilt." – This is the correct transformation.

The correct answer is Option 4.

 

Key Points

• In the context of the sentence, "surprised" is commonly followed by the preposition "at" when referring to someone's actions or behavior.
• Using "at" correctly conveys the idea of being surprised by someone's notable characteristic, which in this case is "his audacity".

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

 

Correct Sentence: "I am surprised at his audacity."

 

Additional Information

• On: Generally not used with "surprised" in this context. Typically, "on" indicates a physical position or basis.
• For: May imply purpose or reason, but it is not commonly used with "surprised" to denote reaction to someone's behavior.
• Of: Sometimes used with feelings or abstract concepts, but "at" is more precise for reactions to behavior.

The correct answer is Option 1.

 

Key Points

• The correct preposition to use in this context is "without".
• Using "without" in the sentence makes it clear that the action will not be taken in the absence of consulting someone.
• Other options such as "with", "on", or "for" do not fit the context and meaning of the sentence correctly.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

 

Correct Sentence: "I will not do anything without consulting you."

 

Additional Information

• Option 2: "with" – This would imply doing the action together with consulting, which does not make sense contextually.
• Option 3: "on" – This preposition is not appropriate for indicating the absence of consulting.
• Option 4: "for" – This preposition does not fit logically in the context of the sentence.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• Indirect Speech: The king told the jester that he had often told him not to crack old jokes.
• Key Conversions:
• "I have often told you" becomes "he had often told him"
• Change "I" to "he" to correspond with "the king."
• Change "have told" to "had told" to correctly shift the tense backwards.
• Change "you" to "him" to correctly refer to "the jester."
• "not to crack old jokes" remains unchanged
• The imperative "not to crack" stays the same in indirect speech.
• Punctuation and Format:
• Remove quotation marks for indirect speech.
• Ensure the sentence flows correctly without direct dialogue indicators.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: The king told the jester that he had often told him not to crack old jokes.

 

Additional Information

• Option 1: "The king told the jester that he had often told him not crack old jokes." – Missing "to" before "crack" makes it grammatically incorrect.
• Option 2: "The king warned the jester not to crack old jokes." – This changes the nature of how the king communicated (warned versus told), which alters the original meaning.
• Option 4: "The king advised the jester that he had often warned him not to crack old jokes." – This incorrectly uses "advised" and "warned" together, which changes the original meaning.

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect word order in the interrogative clause.
• In indirect speech, the verb should follow the subject. The correct phrase should be "where I would."
• Thus, the error is located in part C of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: Suvritta asked me where I would stay.

 

Additional Information

• (a): "Suvritta asked" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• (b): "me where" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• (d): "stay" – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

The correct answer is Option 2.

 

Key Points

• The sentence is in the Present Perfect tense.
• The Present Perfect tense is formed using "has/have" + past participle.
• In the given sentence, "has helped" indicates an action that has been completed at some point before now, emphasizing the result or effect in the present.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2..

Additional Information

• Option 1: Simple Present – This tense is used for habitual actions or general truths, typically formed using the base form of the verb (e.g., "help/s").
• Option 3: Present Continuous – This tense is used for actions currently in progress, formed using "am/is/are" + present participle (e.g., "is helping").
• Option 4: Present Perfect Continuous – This tense is used for actions that started in the past and are still continuing, formed using "has/have been" + present participle (e.g., "has been helping").
