Suppose Kevin's parents have left town and he is alone at home for a day. He writes a diary entry for the day. Complete the diary entry choosing the correct option from the given alternatives:
29_________
Report Question
0%
overcame
0%
overcome
0%
had overcome
0%
would overcome
Explanation
Diary entry is a personal and informal document. It records an individual's account of a day of his/ her life.
In the given diary entry, Kevin is recording a strange experience which he felt during that day when he was alone at home.
When describing the events of the day, the past tense is used. This can be observed in the verbs, 'left', 'found', 'grew' etc., which are used in the passage.
The verb, 'overcome' means '
succeed in dealing with (a problem or difficulty)'. The past tense of this verb is 'overcame'. This is to be filled in the blank number 29. Hence, option A is correct. Option C is also correct as the verb, 'had overcome' is in past perfect tense.
Option B is incorrect as the word, 'overcome' is the present tense form.
Option C is incorrect as the phrase, 'would overcome' is in the future tense.
Choose the correct option for [5]
Report Question
0%

0%
had been brought up
0%
was brought up
0%
looked after
Explanation
We use the simple past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past, here, Newton was brought up. Hence, Option C is correct.
The rest of the options do not contain the correct verb forms, based on the information provided. Hence they're incorrect.
Choose the best option to complete the given conversation:
Rohit: Hello Kavita! Where are you?
Kavita: _________, Can we talk later?
Rohit: Sure. I'll call you in the evening.
Report Question
0%
I'm good
0%
I'm out now
0%
I call you later
0%
Yes, I'm out
Explanation
The person, Rohit, asks Kavita where she was at that time.
The correct answer gives an answer to where she was.
Option B: 'I'm out now' gives the most appropriate answer to the question. 'Out' answers where she was, during the time 'now'. Hence option B is the correct answer.
Option A: 'I'm good' does not answer the question at all. It answers a question like 'how are you?'.
Option C: Similarly, the line 'I'll call you later' also isn't an appropriate answer. Also, the same is already mentioned in the latter half of the sentence: "Can we talk later?"
Option D: 'Yes, I'm out' is not an appropriate reply. 'Yes' confirms a statement whereas the question here does not intend to confirm anything. It simply asks to know where the person is.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Choose the correct option for [6]
Report Question
0%

0%

0%

Explanation
The options mentioned in the question for bio-sketch indicates that Newton first made a set of tools which were little in size. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not express the correct data, hence they're incorrect.
Choose the correct option for [10]
Report Question
0%
articles were made by him
0%
articles have been made
0%
articles had been made by him
0%
articles were being made
Explanation
Since we are talking about something that has already happened, simple past tense is used. Unlike the past continuous tense, which is used to talk about past events that happened over a period of time, the simple past tense emphasizes that the action is finished. The past tense form is "were made". Hence, Option A is correct.
The rest of the options do not contain the correct verb forms, based on the information provided. Hence they're incorrect.

Sheila: Hi Dara! ________, I hope!
Report Question
0%
It is true
0%
That's great
0%
Good for you
0%
All good things
Explanation
Option D: 'All good things' is relevant to the statement mentioned before: "I've heard so much about you.", where 'all good things' refers to 'so much'.
Hence option D is the correct answer.
Option A: 'It is true' isn't appropriate. It makes the conversation sound ambiguous.
Option B: Similarly, 'that's great' does not go well with the conversation. Also, it contrasts with the other half of the sentence: 'That's great, I hope!'
Option C: 'Good for you' is vague and doesn't go with 'I hope'.
In all these options, the lines given are definite opinions: it is true, that is great, good for you. They don't go with the line that expresses a lack of confidence 'I hope'.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.

0%

Choose the best option to complete the given sentence:
Rashmi: We are planning a trip to Tuscany this semester.
Tina: Oh, really! Tuscany seems to be a hot destination suddenly.
Tina means that __________.
Report Question
0%
going to Tuscany is the main topic of discussion these days
0%
the temperature would be high in Tuscany
0%
the temperature in Tuscany suddenly rose up
0%
Tuscany is becoming everyone's favourite stop
Explanation
The word 'hot' here describes the place, Tuscany, as a destination. In the context of the sentence, 'hot' means 'currently popular', 'in demand'. It does not literally mean hot: very high in temperature.
Option D gives the correct interpretation of the quoted speech, that Tuscany has suddenly become a popular destination. Hence D is the most suitable option.
Option A: This does not state the accurate meaning. It is not the main topic of discussion these days. But, Tuscany is a destination in demand these days. The meanings are different. Hence A is incorrect.
Options B and C give the literal meaning of hot, in terms of temperature. But Tina does not refer to the weather, but the nature of the destination, which is hot (popular, cool).
Hence B and C are incorrect.
Choose the best option to complete the given conversation:
Jai: I don't know how to complete the project on time.
Ritu: Don't worry. I am sure you will _______.
Report Question
0%
kill the time
0%
need some help
0%
think of something
0%
find it out
Explanation
The person in the conversation, Jai, expresses concern because he does not know how to complete his project on time.
In an attempt to console him, Rita reassures him, telling him not to worry.
Option C: This line completes the conversation in meaning, 'think of something' refers to how Jai will think of something in order to complete his project.
Hence option C is correct.
The rest of the options, 'kill the time', 'need some help' and 'find it out' are vague and do not complete the sentence in meaning. Also, they are not words of reassurance.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
Choose the correct option for [4].
Report Question

Option C: As it's mentioned in the line "our Drama Troupe...will reach New Delhi Railway Station by the Rajdhani Express", blank 4 is completed with "Rajdhani Express". Hence C is correct.
Option A: 'Chennai Express' is not mentioned in the conversation. Chennai is the city from where 'Subbu' has called. But, it's not the name of the train in which the Drama Troupe will arrive. Hence A is incorrect.
Option B: Similarly, 'Shatabdi Express' is not mentioned in the conversation. Hence option B is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in C.

Which of the following is the most accurate statement with regard to giftedness ?
Report Question
0%
. it is the same as creativity.
0%
it may include motor or cognitive abilities.
0%
. it can be identified using an IQ test by itself.
0%
. it is defined as when a child is
Explanation
Answer
b. It may include motor or cognitive abilities.
Explanation:
I don't like the word "giftedness" in any application to people's abilities. We ALL have particular and unique abilities that can be utilized as well as we can. Exceptional abilities (or deficiencies) can occur in motor skills as well as cognitive ones.
That's one problem with a term like "gifted"! Who gave the gift (and how is that different from or any better than the miraculous "gift of life" we all have)? Some usage inverts the language - when is "gifted" "special" - or simply ignores common language.

0%
None of the above
Explanation
Answer:
Option 'D' is the right answer.
She is really looking forward to starting her new job next week.
Explanation:
‘Look forward to’ is a phrasal verb which means ‘to think with pleasure about something that is going to happen because you expect to enjoy it.
Phrasal verb is a verb combined with an adverb or a preposition, or sometimes both, to give a new meaning, for example go in for, win over and see to.
In this sentence ‘to starting’ has been used because of the structure ‘look forward to + doing something’ structure. According to this structure, look forward to is followed by v1+ing verb. For example, We are really looking forward to visiting you again next month.
Fill in the blank with a suitable option.

Report Question
0%
reiterates to the reader what the reader should be taking from the report
0%

0%
both A and B
0%
none of the above
Explanation
The correct answer is Option A.
The conclusion plays an important role in any kind of writing. A well-written conclusion enhances the effectiveness of the writing.
