2. Pass me a handkerchief. 

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.

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

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.

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

Explanation

Submit
7. The dog ran ............. the road (through/between/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.

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

Explanation

Rita walked through the door. The word "through" indicates that Rita entered the door and moved from one side to the other.

The other options, "between" and "across," do not convey the same idea of entering and moving through the door.

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

Submit
10. When did you first meet Ben?   - I first met Ben ......... three weeks ago . (on/at/in/No Preposition)

Submit
11. We are being overtaken.   (into active) 

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.

Submit
14. Another Car is overtaking us. 

Explanation

The correct answer is "We are being overtaken by another car." This sentence is in the passive voice, indicating that the action of being overtaken is happening to us. The use of the present continuous tense "are being" suggests that the action is currently taking place. The word "overtaken" is the correct past participle form of the verb "overtake" in this context.

Submit

Submit

Explanation

The given sentence has been changed into the passive voice. In the active voice, the sentence would be "Leonardo da Vinci painted Mona Lisa."

Therefore, the correct answer is "Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci."

Submit

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

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.
Submit
24. Change into passive: Shakespeare (write) Hamlet

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."

Submit
25. London (fire;1666) destroyed         (into passive)

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."

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

Explanation

The original sentence states that the car is not being used today. The correct answer rephrases this by saying that nobody is using the car today. Both sentences convey the same meaning, indicating that there is no usage of the car on the present day.

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

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.

Submit
28. Is the book being read? (into active) 

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.

Submit
29. Nobody guarding the cattle. 

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.

Submit
30. Change into active: The cows are being fed. 

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."
