  • 2. 

    Pass me a handkerchief. 

    • My nose is running. 

    • I'm feeling sick. 

    • My leg is paining. 

    • My head is paining. 

    Correct Answer
    A. My nose is running. 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "My nose is running." This is because the phrase "Pass me a handkerchief" is often used when someone's nose is running and they need something to wipe it with. The other options, such as "I'm feeling sick," "My leg is paining," and "My head is paining," do not directly relate to the need for a handkerchief.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The river flows..................... the bridge. (under/between,along)

    Correct Answer
    under
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "under" because when a river flows under a bridge, it means that the bridge is built above the river, and the water is passing beneath it.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A camera ................................. to me by my brother. (correct passive form of the verb)

    • Have been sent

    • Has been sent

    • Sent

    • Send

    Correct Answer
    A. Has been sent
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "has been sent." In this sentence, the subject "A camera" is the receiver of the action, and the verb needs to be in the passive form. "Has been sent" is the correct passive form of the verb "send" in the present perfect tense, indicating that the camera was sent in the past and the action is still relevant in the present.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The dog ran ............. the road (through/between/across)

    Correct Answer
    across
    Explanation
    The word "across" is the correct answer because it indicates that the dog ran from one side of the road to the other. It suggests that the dog crossed the road completely, rather than just going partway or staying within a certain area.

    Rate this question:

  • 6.

    • On

    • At

    • In

    • By 

    Correct Answer
    A. At
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "at" because it is used to indicate a specific point in time. In this case, it is indicating the specific time of 7 o'clock when she got up this morning.

    • Shyam asked me if he could come too.

    • Shyam told me if he could come too.

    • Shyam said to me if he could come too.

    Correct Answer
    A. Shyam asked me if he could come too.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Shyam asked me if he could come too." This is the correct answer because it uses the correct verb form "asked" to indicate that Shyam is posing a question. Additionally, it uses the correct preposition "if" to introduce the question, and the correct pronoun "me" to indicate the person being asked.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Rita walked ................ door. (through/between/across) 

    Correct Answer
    through
    Explanation
    Rita walked through the door. The word "through" indicates that Rita entered the door and moved from one side to the other. This suggests that there was a clear passage or opening for Rita to pass through the door. The other options, "between" and "across," do not convey the same idea of entering and moving through the door.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The woman cycled .............. the hill. (through/down/out of)

    Correct Answer
    down
    Explanation

    • The bikes are over taking us. 

    Correct Answer
    A. The bike is overtaking us. 
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The bike is overtaking us." This is the correct answer because the sentence is in the present continuous tense, indicating an action that is happening at the moment. "Overtaking" is the correct verb form for this tense, and "us" is the correct object pronoun to use in this context.

    A. I don't think I will invite Jane to party. She is not friendly.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I don't think I will invite Jane to the party. She is not friendly." This answer aligns with the statement made in the question, which states that Jane is not friendly. Therefore, the person does not think they will invite her to the party.

The word "overtaken" is the correct past participle form of the verb "overtake" in this context.

    A. Is anybody making the tea?
    Explanation

    Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci, Paint (Change into passive) 

    Correct Answer

    Who wrote the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird"? (Write in passive)

    Correct Answer
    By whom was the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" written?
    Explanation
    In the passive voice question "By whom was the novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird' written?", the subject of the sentence is not performing the action. Instead, the focus is on the action itself ("written") and the entity responsible for it ("by whom"). This construction emphasizes the authorship of the novel.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Change into passive: Shakespeare (write) Hamlet

    Correct Answer
    Hamlet was written by Shakespeare.
    Explanation
    The sentence is in active voice, stating that Shakespeare wrote Hamlet. To change it into passive voice, we need to make the object of the active sentence (Hamlet) the subject of the passive sentence, and the subject of the active sentence (Shakespeare) the object of the passive sentence. Therefore, the correct passive sentence is "Hamlet was written by Shakespeare."

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    London (fire;1666) destroyed         (into passive)

    Correct Answer
    London was destroyed by fire in 1666.
    Explanation
    The sentence is in the active voice, with "London" as the subject and "fire" as the verb. To transform it into the passive voice, the subject and object need to be switched, and the verb needs to be changed to its past participle form. Therefore, the correct passive voice sentence is "London was destroyed by fire in 1666."

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    The car is not being used today. (into active) 

    Correct Answer
    Nobody is using the car today.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    I am fed up with my job........

    • I don't think I'll change it.

    • I think I won't change it.

    • I think I will change it. 

    • I don't think I will change my job. 

    Correct Answer
    A. I don't think I'll change it.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I don't think I'll change it." This answer indicates that the person is not planning to change their job despite being fed up with it. The use of "don't think" suggests uncertainty or hesitation, while "I'll" implies a future decision or action. This response reflects the person's current mindset and lack of motivation to seek a new job.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Is the book being read? (into active) 

    Correct Answer
    Is anyone reading the book?
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Is anyone reading the book?" This is because the question is asking about the action of reading the book, rather than the state of the book being read. The word "anyone" suggests that the question is asking about a person performing the action, rather than a general inquiry about the book.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    Change into active: The cows are being fed. 

    Correct Answer
    Somebody is feeding the cows.
    Explanation
    The original sentence "The cows are being fed" is in the passive voice, indicating that the cows are the recipients of the action. To change it into active voice, we need to identify the subject performing the action. In this case, the subject is "somebody," and the action is "feeding." Therefore, the correct active voice sentence is "Somebody is feeding the cows."

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Nobody guarding the cattle. 

    Correct Answer
    The cattle are not being guarded.
    Explanation
    The given answer correctly states that the cattle are not being guarded. This implies that there is no one present to protect or watch over the cattle. This could lead to potential risks such as theft, predators attacking the cattle, or the cattle wandering off. It is important to have someone responsible for guarding the cattle to ensure their safety and well-being.
