    Explanation
    "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" is a well-known poem written by Robert Frost. The poem depicts a person's contemplation of nature and the beauty of a snowy evening.

    • None of These

    Correct Answer
    A. Neither my son, nor my daughter studies well
    Explanation
    The correct sentence is "Neither my son, nor my daughter studies well." This sentence is correct because it follows the rule of subject-verb agreement. The subject "neither my son, nor my daughter" is singular, so the verb "studies" should also be singular.

    The underlined noun "weaver" is used in apposition.

In this case, "weaver" provides additional information about Kabir, indicating his occupation or profession.

    • Possessive

    • None of These

    Correct Answer
    A. Accusative
    Explanation

    • The jury are divided in their opinion

    • The jury divided on their opinion

    • None of These

    Correct Answer
    A. The jury are divided in their opinion
    Explanation
    The correct sentence is "The jury are divided in their opinion." This is because "jury" is a collective noun that can be treated as either singular or plural. In this case, "jury" is being treated as a plural noun, so the verb "are" is used instead of "is." Additionally, "in their opinion" correctly indicates that the division exists among the members of the jury.

    A. simple sentence
    Explanation
    The underlined sentence "Whatever you do, do it carefully" is a simple sentence because it consists of only one independent clause. It has a subject "you" and a verb "do" followed by an adverb "carefully". There are no dependent clauses or coordinating conjunctions present, which are characteristics of compound and complex sentences. Therefore, the correct answer is a simple sentence.
