  • Question 1/10
    2 / -0.5

    Identify the segment in the sentence that contains a grammatical error. Choose the option which is grammatically incorrect.

    The beautiful stage decoration (A) / at an event (B) / in school (C) / has done by the students (D)/

    Solutions

    The correct option is option 4 i.e. D.

    • The sentence is in passive form as the students are the receiver of an action. 
    • The sentence reflects the action done in past.
    • Therefore, in the passive form, the past participle changes into Subject + was/were + past participle.
    • Hence, it should be “was done”.

    The correct sentence will be: The beautiful stage decoration at an event in school was done by the students.

  • Question 2/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the segment of the sentence that contains a grammatical error.

    This beautiful ring is made from gold.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 1 i.e. from gold.

    Rule:

    Made of → Reversible (Material remains the same)

    Made from → Irreversible (Material undergoes a chemical change)

    Explanation:

    'Made of' is used when the material's identity remains unchanged.

    Example: A ring is made of gold (Gold remains gold).

    'Made from' is used when the material undergoes a transformation.

    Example: Paper is made from wood (Wood changes into paper).

    Since gold remains gold in a ring, made of gold is correct.

    So, the correct sentence will be: This beautiful ring is made of gold.

  • Question 3/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No improvement’.

    • Here, the adjective is big.
    • Hence, the chosen option will be correct.

    The correct sentence will be-

    Anju, who bought a huge radish said, "I have never seen such a big radish".

    • It is in the Simple Past Tense.
    • Structure:
      • Passive: Object + was/were + verb (IIIrd form) + by + subject...

  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

    Choose the most appropriate option to change the (direct/indirect) narration of the given sentence.

    Sunita told his friend that he had been ill since Monday. 

    Solutions

    The correct answer is Sunita said to his friend, “you have been ill since Monday.”

    Explanation:

    The given sentence is in Indirect Speech and we need to change it to Direct Speech.

    Reported sentence:

    Sunita told his friend that he was ill since Monday.

    Here, the action started in the past and continues up to the present, so the correct tense in Direct Speech should be Present Perfect Continuous.

    Hence: “you have been ill since Monday.” is correct.

    Other options are incorrect because:

    “you were ill” → simple past, does not show continuation.

    “you are ill” → present tense, doesn’t reflect the duration.

    “you were being ill” → grammatically incorrect.
