  • Question 1/11
    1 / -0

    In the following question, one part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select option 4- No error.

    On their way to the store (1)/, they spotted a white, cute, little dog on (2)/ the other side of the street.(3)/ No error (4)

    Solutions

    The error is in the 2nd part of the sentence.

    When you’re trying to describe something, there’s a specific order in which the adjectives have to go. There are basically eight levels of adjective placement. Here’s the order:

    1) Opinion

    2) Size

    3) Age

    4) Shape

    5) Color

    6) Origin

    7) Material

    8) Purpose

    Hence it should be "cute, little, white dog (opinion, size, colour).

    Correct sentence: On their way to the store, they spotted a cute, little, white dog on the other side of the street.

     

  • Question 2/11
    1 / -0

    Change the voice:

    The doctor will treat the patients.

    Solutions

    This sentence is an example of active voice.

    The active voice describes a sentence, where the subject performs the action stated by the verb. In passive voice sentences, the subject is acted upon by the verb. Hence, the doctor being the subject will be acted upon by the verb: treat (action).

    The subject in the active voice ‘The Doctor’ takes to object position. The object 'The Patients’ takes the subject position before the verb. And, as the sentence is in simple future tense, option 1 would be the correct answer.

     

  • Question 3/11
    1 / -0

    Change the narration:

    Anjali said to me, "Rita is my enemy".

    Solutions

    Here, the sentence is in direct speech and has an object ‘me’.

    So, reporting verb ‘said’ gets replaced with ‘told’ in indirect speech. Also, the verb is changed to past tense i.e. 'was'.

    The pronoun ‘her’ is used in place of ‘my’.

     

  • Question 4/11
    1 / -0

    In the following question, the sentence is given with a blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.

    It was unfortunate to hear that she died ____ cancer.

    Solutions

    The correct answer here is 'of'.

    With means accompanied by (another person or thing).

    Of means expressing a cause.

    From means indicating the point in space at which a journey, motion, or action starts.

    To means expressing motion in the direction of (a particular location).

    Therefore from the given alternatives option 2 best fits the context.

     

  • Question 5/11
    1 / -0

    In the following question, the sentence is given with a blank to be filled in with an appropriate word. Select the correct alternative out of the four and indicate it by selecting the appropriate option.

    Our perceptions and action vary greatly_____related to our comforts. 

    Solutions

    This sentence is talking about a relation between the two parts of the sentence. The words ‘there’ and ‘however’ fail to achieve that purpose.

    While ‘then’ is also used to establish relations, it is used in cases where some conditional aspects of certain things are involved. Hence, 3) is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 6/11
    1 / -0

    Creatures small and big popped up their heads________of hibernation.

    Solutions

    Hibernation is the state where many organisms like rats, lizards, bears, etc. get into a deep sleep in winters to save energy. Clearly, it is a state that one gets ‘out’ of if they ‘popped up their heads’.  Hence, 1) is the correct answer.
