James had been teaching at the university since June.
The question sentence quotes a time frame which means the activity of James teaching at the university started in June and it still continues. This means that the sentence should not be kept in the past tense. It should be kept in the present tense. Therefore, the use of "had been teaching" is incorrect in the sentence and should be replaced by "has been teaching". Hence, option A is the correct answer. Also, the sentence shows a continuous activity which means the sentence should be of perfect progressive tense. So, part (C) would be incorrect. The subject "James" is singular, therefore, a plural verb would be incorrect here. So, option B is incorrect.
Select the most appropriate synonym of the given word.
DILIGENT

Given below are four jumbled sentences. Select the option that gives their correct order.
P. They feared a backlash from orthodox elements.
Q. The system of Sati prevailed among upper caste Hindus in the 19th century.
R. Between 1815 and 1818 in Bengal alone, 800 women became Satis.
S. The British did not take any legal action against this practice.
Sentence Q talks about an ancient practice in India, i.e. the Sati system. Q should be followed by R as it shows data about the number of women who finished their life in this practice. The next sentence should be S as it shows the concern of the British against this system. Sentence P would be next as it mentions the reason why the British did not take any action against the Sati system. Hence, the correct sequence is QRSP.

Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.
The General presented us a detailed battle plan.
The given sentence is in active form of simple past tense. The structures for active/passive voices are: Active: Subject + verb (IInd form) + object... Passive: Object + was/were + verb (IIIrd form) + by + subject... In the active voice, the preposition “to” can be avoided as “presented” makes sense in itself. However, the passive voice requires the preposition “to” to indicate the recipient of the battle plan. So, with the help of the above structures, we can convert the given sentence into passive voice: A detailed battle plan was presented to us by the General.
