Question 1

Rearrange the words to make a meaningful sentence:? / whose / is / house / this.

Accepted Answer

The basic order of words in a sentence is: subject + verb + object.In an interrogative sentence, the order is slightly altered. A question word (who, what, why, etc.) precedes the subject. If there is a helping verb along with the main verb, then it comes after the question word and before the subject.To
 this basic structure, different elements can be added. For example, 
noun phrases, adjective phrases, subject complements, types of clauses 
and so on.Option C: The structure in this sentence complies with the basic structure:subject (Whose house) + main verb (is) + determiner (this). 'Whose' is an interrogative adjective that modifies the noun 'house'.Hence C is correct.Option
 A: The order does not create a meaningful sentence. 'Whose' takes over as the subject and does not create a complete meaning.Option B: The order is a jumble of words which do not form a coherent meaning.Option D: The order has been altered, the subject 'whose' takes the position of the object and vice versa.Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.

Question 2

Frame a WH question to get the underlined part as the answer:I had to go to the hospital last week because I had a severe stomach ache.

Accepted Answer

The word because is used in a sentence to provide a reason. Why is the question asked when a reason is needed. Therefore, A is the correct option. The rest of the questions ask for place or time or method.

Question 3

Identify the type of sentence given below:You have to listen to me!

Accepted Answer

Sentences are mainly divided into four types: declarative, imperative, interrogative and exclamatory. Declarative sentences merely declare or state something, imperative sentences express a command, an order or a request, interrogative sentences intend to ask a question and exclamatory sentences display extreme or sudden emotion. The given sentence expresses a command, which means it's an imperative sentence. Even though it ends with an exclamation mark, it does not express any emotion; imperative sentences can also end with exclamation marks. Hence option A is correct and D is incorrect. It does not declare anything, or ask a question, hence options B and C are also incorrect.

Question 4

Make a meaningful sentence of your own using the following phrase: 'to look into'

Accepted Answer

The meaning of the given phrase is 'to discover facts about something that may be a problem or a crime'.A sentence with this phrase:I raised a complaint against the director of the company and they assured me that they would look into the matter.

Question 5

Arrange the words in correct order to make a complete sentence:a) a lot of workb) didc) Id) yesterday.

Accepted Answer

We can use 'a lot of work' at the beginning of the sentence if the sentence is in the passive voice. But as the sentence is in the active voice (without 'by'), we must use 'I' as the subject. The auxiliary/verb should be organised after the subject to explain the subject's state of being/doing. As 'yesterday' is an adverb, it should be organised after the verb 'work'. Hence, CBAD is the correct format. Thus option A is the correct answer.Options B, C and D are grammatically incorrect for the above-explained reasons.'I did a lot of work yesterday.'

Question 6

In the following one word has been omitted in each line. Choose the missing words in lines of the given paragraph, along with the words that come before and the words that come after it in the space provided.Word beforeMissing wordWord afterMost the peoplemostoftheare annoyed passwords.They have many remember.On any given day arebound forget them.This creates difficulties the people.

Question 7

Frame a WH question to get the underlined part as the answer:I have to get up early tomorrow so that I can finish all my cleaning work before leaving for work.

Accepted Answer

The phrase "so that"  is used in a sentence to provide a reason. Why is the question asked when a reason is needed. Therefore, B is the correct option. The rest of the questions ask for place or time or method.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Following is the usual order of words in an English sentence: Subject of the sentence, followed by verb, which is followed by object of the sentence. Adjective usually precedes the noun (unless it is used predicatively). The words which can be subject / object of a sentence are nouns/ pronouns. In the given set of jumbled words, the nouns are 'sound' and 'disc'. The main verb is 'recorded'. The presence of auxiliary verbs viz. 'has' and 'been' suggests that the complete verb is: 'Has been recorded'. The answer to the question: 'What has been recorded?' is 'sound'. The word, 'that' is a demonstrative adjective, which should precede the noun it modifies. The answer to the question, 'Where has the sound been recorded?' is: 'On that disc', which is an adverbial phrase So, the possible sentence is: 'Sound has been recorded on the disc'. Hence, option B is correct. Option A: This sentence is not grammatically correct as a determiner (a/the) or an adjective is required before the noun, 'disc'. This is missing. Options C & D: In these options, the word, 'recorded' is used as an adjective, which modifies the noun, 'sound'. This is acceptable. However, the main verb is missing. The auxiliary verbs 'has been', by themselves, do not convey any meaning. An acceptable modification of option C is: 'Recorded sound has been stored on that disc'.Further, in option D, the adverbial phrase (on that disc), is placed in the beginning. This is incorrect because  an adverb is usually placed close to the word that it modifies. Hence, options C & D are  incorrect.

Question 9

Choose the correct meaning of the given phrase."To keep one's temper"

Accepted Answer

Option B is the correct answer because 'to keeps one's temper' means to refrain from becoming angered or upset due to some provocation and be in a good mood. Options A, C and D are incorrect because these are not the meanings of the given phrase.Option E is incorrect because the correct answer has already been chosen.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Option B is the correct answer because 'to put one's hand to the plough' means to begin or undertake a difficult task.Options A, C and D are incorrect because these are not the correct meanings of the given phrase. Option E is incorrect because the correct answer has already been chosen.
