3. Which is not an active voice?

Explanation

The correct answer is "A beautiful song was written by Snape for Lilly." This sentence is in the passive voice because the subject (a beautiful song) is receiving the action (being written) rather than performing the action. In the active voice, the subject would be the one performing the action, such as "James wrote a beautiful song for Lilly."

4. What is the closest word to honor?

Explanation

The word "honor" is closely related to the word "respect" as both words convey a sense of admiration, esteem, and recognition for someone's qualities, achievements, or character. While "medal" and "gift" can also be associated with honor in certain contexts, "respect" is a more direct and synonymous term that captures the essence of honor. It signifies a deep regard and high esteem for someone's worth, integrity, and dignity, making it the closest word to honor.

Submit

The correct answer is "Nouns that refer to groups of people or things; family, team, jury etc." Collective nouns are specific types of nouns that are used to refer to a group or collection of people, animals, or things. Examples of collective nouns include words like family, team, jury, flock, herd, and crowd. These nouns are singular in form but represent a group as a whole.

7. Adjectives in a sentence come:

Explanation

Adjectives in a sentence come before a noun. In English grammar, adjectives are used to describe or modify nouns, providing more information about them. Placing the adjective before the noun helps to clarify and specify the characteristics or qualities of the noun. This word order is commonly used in English sentences to ensure clear and effective communication.

Submit
8. Select the right answer that has a definite article.

Explanation

The correct answer is "The game was great" because it includes the definite article "the" before the noun "game". The definite article is used to refer to a specific noun that has already been mentioned or is known to both the speaker and the listener. In this case, "the game" refers to a specific game that the speaker and the listener are aware of.

Submit

Every sentence is required to have a subject, which is the noun or pronoun that performs the action of the sentence. However, not every sentence requires an object. An object is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. While many sentences do have objects, there are also sentences that do not require an object. Therefore, the correct answer is "An object."
