The correct answer is "determination".

Key Points

• "Determination" means the quality of being firm or steadfast in one's purpose.
• This matches effectively with the context and would be the best fit as it suggests a necessary characteristic John needs to maintain his diet.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 2".

Additional Information

• "Obstinacy" means stubbornness which has a slightly negative connotation and wouldn't be the best choice to describe someone trying to succeed in a personal goal such as this.
• "Decision" refers to making a choice but does not imply the continuing effort or resolve needed to stick to a diet.
• "Obligation" means a moral or legal duty to do something.
  • Though it can be used in some cases, it is not the best choice here as it indicates a duty or requirement rather than a personal resolve or commitment.

The correct answer is 'Option 3' i.e. "Olivia has written an acclaimed novel."

Key Points

• Active voice sentences typically follow the structure: Subject + Verb + Object.
• The agent of the action in your original sentence (Olivia) becomes the subject in the active voice sentence.
• The form of the verb changes from "has been written" (passive) to "has written" (active).
• The object in your original sentence (an acclaimed novel) is retained in the active voice sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is- "Olivia has written an acclaimed novel."

Additional Information

• Option 1: This sentence is in the simple past tense, which is not the same as the present perfect tense ('has been written') in the original sentence.
• Option 2: This sentence is in the present perfect continuous tense ('has been writing'), which does not reflect the completed action implied by the original sentence.
• Option 4: This sentence is in the simple present tense ('writes'), again, not maintaining the tense of the original sentence.

The correct answer is option 3.

Let us look into the meaning of other words:

• 'Bunch' means a number of things, typically of the same kind, growing or fastened together.
• 'Barrel' means a cylindrical container bulging out in the middle, traditionally made of wooden staves with metal hoops around them.
• 'Bale' means a large bundle bound for storage or transport.
• 'Bevy' means a large group of people or things of a particular kind.

So, option 3 is correct.

The correct answer is: John said to Mary, "I didn't see you at the party yesterday."

Key Points

• Here's how we convert this from indirect to direct speech:
  • The tense of direct speech is changed only when the reporting verb is in the past tense.
  • We replace the reporting verb 'told' with 'said to'.
  • We replace the connector 'that' with a comma and inverted commas.
  • The tense of reported speech is changed from the past perfect (hadn't seen) to the past simple (didn't see).
  • The personal pronouns are then adjusted. 'Her' becomes 'you' and 'he' becomes 'I'. 
  • "The previous day" will be replaced by "yesterday".

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 3".

The correct answer is "Desire".

Key Points

• A "fetish" typically refers to an excessive and irrational devotion or commitment to a particular thing.(किसी विशेष चीज़ के प्रति अत्यधिक और अतार्किक भक्ति या प्रतिबद्धता)
• The word carries connotations of a deep-seated "desire" or obsession.
• A "desire" is a strong feeling of wanting or wishing for something.(किसी चीज़ को चाहने या चाहने की प्रबल भावना) Given that a fetish is often driven by an intense, irrational wish, "desire" is a synonym that captures the longing aspect of "fetish."
• From the above meaning it is clear that both words are synonyms to each other. 

Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 3".

Additional Information

• "Awkward" usually means uncomfortable, embarrassing, or not at ease.(अजीब) Although a fetish can sometimes make social interaction awkward, this word doesn't directly relate to the meaning of "fetish" itself.
• A "requirement" is something mandatory or needed.(आवश्यकता) While a fetish may feel crucial to the person who has it, the term "requirement" does not capture the obsessive or excessive nature of a fetish.
• "Learning" refers to the acquisition of knowledge or skills through study, experience, or being taught.(सीखना) It doesn't connect with the meaning of "fetish," which is more about an intense inclination or obsession.

The correct answer is 'No improvement required'.

Key Points

• The underlined part in the given sentence is grammatically correct.
• Here, 'a chance to exist' is correctly used. 
• We know that the indefinite article 'a' is used before a consonant. Here, 'chance' starts with a consonant.
• The phrase 'chance to exist' means 'chance to live/ live under challenging conditions'.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence: Nature provides every creature a chance to exist.

The correct answer is "SQPR."

Key Points

• The sentence talks about the definition of a 'Resource' and how it is determined.
• The sentence starts with the subject 'Everything available in our environment'.
• So, the first part must be S.
• It should be followed by Q as it is having the relative clause "which can be used to satisfy our needs."
• Now, Q must be followed by P as P is adding more information to Q.
• The last part is R as it is providing an object to the sentence.
• The correct answer is Option 2.

Correct sentence: Everything available in our environment which can be used to satisfy our needs, provided it is technologically accessible, economically feasible and culturally acceptable can be termed as 'Resource.'

The correct answer is '(B)​.'

Key Points

• The error lies in part (B) of the sentence.
• We use unless to say except if.
  • Example: You can't get a job unless you have experience.​
• We use when as a conjunction meaning ‘at the time that’.
  • Example: Nobody spoke when she came into the room.
• Therefore, the use of 'unless' in part '(B)​​' part of the sentence should be replaced by 'when' to make it grammatically correct.
• Hence, the correct answer is '(B)​.'
• Correct sentence: I was just getting into the bath when the phone rang.

Additional Information

• In references to the future with when, we use the present simple or the present perfect in the when-clause, not the future with shall and will
  • Example: When the new park opens, I’ll go there every day.

Hinglish

• त्रुटि भाग part (B) में निहित है।​
• हम जब तक कहने के लिए unless उपयोग करते हैं।
  • Example: You can't get a job unless you have experience.​
• When हम एक संयोजन के रूप में उपयोग करते हैं जिसका अर्थ है 'उस समय'।​
  • Example: Nobody spoke when she came into the room.

The correct answer is 'farther'.

Key Points

• The sentence requires a term that denotes physical distance.
• 'Farther' is used to refer to actual distance when comparing two things.
• Hence, 'farther' is the correct word to complete the sentence in this context.
• Complete Sentence: Your house is farther from the school than mine.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Additional Information

• 'Further' is often used to denote metaphorical or figurative distance.
• 'Fewer' is used to denote a smaller number of people or things.
• 'None of these' is not a valid option in this context.

The correct answer is: Allowed.

Key Points

• Antonym means a word that has the opposite meaning of the asked word.
• The asked word is "forbade", which means to prohibit or disallow something. (किसी चीज़ को प्रतिबंधित या अस्वीकार करना)
  • Example: The strict teacher forbade students from using their phones in class.
• The antonym of "forbade" is "allowed", which means to permit or give permission for something. (किसी चीज़ की अनुमति देना)
  • Example: The lenient principal allowed the students to organize a fun carnival on the school grounds.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

Additional Information

• Prevented means to stop something from happening or to make it impossible. (किसी चीज़ को घटित होने से रोकना या उसे असंभव बनाना)
• Refused means to decline or reject something that is offered or requested. (प्रस्तावित या अनुरोधित किसी चीज़ को अस्वीकार या अस्वीकार करना)
• Declined means to politely refuse or turn down an offer or request. (किसी प्रस्ताव या अनुरोध को विनम्रतापूर्वक अस्वीकार करना)
