    Choose the most suitable determiner for the given sentence.

    _____ parent came to meet the teacher.

    Solutions

    The most appropriate determiner for the given sentence is 'Neither'. 

    • Neither allows us to make a negative statement about two people or things at the same time.

    • Example:
      • Neither dress fitted her. (There were two dresses and not one of them fitted her.)

    Correct Sentence: Neither parent came to meet the teacher.

  • Question 9/10

    Choose the option best transforms the given sentence using a question tag:

    The audience have taken their seats,

    Solutions

    Explanation:

    It is a question of question tag and we know that the sentence and the question tag must be in the same tense.

    • The given sentence is in the present perfect so the question tag will also be in the present perfect.
    • If we talk about the individual members of the collective noun or if there is a difference in opinion among the members of the collective noun, plural verb and plural pronoun are used.
    • Let's see some example:
      • The committee is divided in their opinion, isn't they? (Incorrect)
      • The committee are divided in their opinion, aren't they?  (Correct)
    • If the sentence is positive, the question tag must be in the negative and vice versa. 
    • So, that after following all the above rules we can say 'haven’t they?' is correct here.

    The correct sentence is-The audience have taken their seats, haven’t they?

  • Question 10/10
    4 / -1

    Fill in the blank with the appropriate article.

    The executive committee appointed him ____ president of the company.

    Solutions

    Explanation:

    In the given sentence, the article is not required because we don't use articles for the object complements. when the main verbs are ('appoint, elect, select, make, etc.) Also, we don't use the definite article with the designation of the person.
    In the sentence, the Object is 'Him' and the object complement is 'president' hence, don't use an article with the object complement.

    Let's see an example:

    • They elected him president.

    So, the correct sentence is: The executive committee appointed him president of the company.
