  1. Fright = अचानक तेज़ डर → terror के सबसे निकट।
  2. Comfort = आराम; Stimulation = उत्तेजना; Victory = जीत – मेल नहीं खाते।

Select the incorrectly spelt word in the given sentence.
Despite repeated warnings from the doctor, he remained obstinate and refused to change his unheathy eating habits.
  1. Arepeated
  2. Bwarnings
  3. Cobstinate
  4. Dunheathy
Show answer

Concept: Break the word into its root to check the spelling.

  1. un + health + y → unhealthy; the 'l' of health is missing in 'unheathy'.
  2. repeated, warnings, obstinate – all correct.

Trick: Spot the root word inside a long word; missing root letters = error.

Answer: (D) unheathy

अवधारणा: शब्द को मूल शब्द में तोड़कर वर्तनी जाँचें।

  1. un + health + y → unhealthy; 'unheathy' में health का 'l' गायब है।
  2. repeated, warnings, obstinate – तीनों सही।

ट्रिक: लंबे शब्द में मूल शब्द (root) ढूँढें; root का अक्षर छूटा तो गलती।

Q583.
Select the option which contains the correct homonym of the highlighted word in the sentence:
She went on a short (trip) to the hills during the summer break.
  1. AA journey taken for pleasure or a specific purpose
  2. BA brief travel from one place to another
  3. CAn excursion planned for relaxation
  4. DTo stumble or lose balance while walking
Show answer

Concept: A homonym has the same spelling/sound but a totally different meaning.

  1. In the sentence, 'trip' (noun) = a short journey.
  2. Options A, B, C all repeat this journey meaning – so they are not homonyms.
  3. Only D gives a new meaning: trip (verb) = to stumble or lose balance.

Trick: Three options saying the same thing = the odd one out is the answer.

Answer: (D) To stumble or lose balance while walking

अवधारणा: Homonym में शब्द वही होता है पर अर्थ बिल्कुल अलग।

  1. वाक्य में 'trip' (संज्ञा) = छोटी यात्रा।
  2. A, B, C तीनों यात्रा वाला अर्थ ही दोहराते हैं – ये homonym नहीं।
  3. केवल D में नया अर्थ है: trip (क्रिया) = ठोकर खाना/लड़खड़ाना।

ट्रिक: तीन विकल्प एक ही अर्थ बताएँ तो अलग अर्थ वाला चौथा ही उत्तर है।

उत्तर: (D) To stumble or lose balance while walking

  2. Conformist = स्थापित नियमों का पालन करने वाला – निकटतम विलोम।
  3. Renunciation = त्याग (लगभग समान भाव); Blasphemy = ईश-निंदा; Demur = आपत्ति।

The coach said, "Will you join the practice session of my team today?"
  1. AThe coach asked whether they would join the practice session of his team that day.
  2. BThe coach asked that they will join the practice session of his team today.
  3. CThe coach asked whether they would joined the practice session of his team that day.
  4. DThe coach asked whether they would have joined the practice session of his team that day.
Show answer

Concept: Yes/no question → 'asked whether/if' + statement order + backshift.

  1. said → asked; joiner = whether.
  2. you → they, my → his, will → would, today → that day.
  3. Verb after 'would' stays V1: 'would join' (not 'joined' or 'have joined').

Trick: Check three things fast: whether + would + that day → only A has all.

Answer: (A) The coach asked whether they would join the practice session of his team that day.

अवधारणा: Yes/No प्रश्न → 'asked whether/if' + सामान्य वाक्य क्रम + tense पीछे।

  1. said → asked; जोड़ने वाला शब्द whether।
  2. you → they, my → his, will → would, today → that day।
  3. 'would' के बाद V1 ही: 'would join' ('joined' या 'have joined' नहीं)।

ट्रिक: तीन चीज़ें देखें: whether + would + that day → केवल A में तीनों।

उत्तर: (A) The coach asked whether they would join the practice session of his team that day.

Q587.
Change the following sentence into the Active form.
Her miserable condition is said to have been a consequence of her reckless spending.
  1. APeople say that her miserable condition has been a consequence of her reckless spending.
  2. BPeople said that her miserable condition was a consequence of her reckless spending.
  3. CThey are saying her miserable condition was a consequence of her reckless spending.
  4. DHer reckless spending caused her miserable condition, it is said.
Show answer

Concept: 'X is said to have been Y' = passive of 'People say that X has been Y'.

  1. 'is said' (present) → active 'People say' (present, not 'said').
  2. Perfect infinitive 'to have been' → 'has been'.
  3. So: People say that her miserable condition has been a consequence of her reckless spending.

Trick: is said to + V1 → say that … V1; is said to have + V3 → say that … has/had + V3 (keep tense of 'is').

Answer: (A) People say that her miserable condition has been a consequence of her reckless spending.

अवधारणा: 'X is said to have been Y' = 'People say that X has been Y' का passive रूप।

  1. 'is said' (present) → active में 'People say' (present ही; 'said' नहीं)।
  2. 'to have been' (perfect infinitive) → 'has been'।
  3. अतः: People say that her miserable condition has been a consequence of her reckless spending.

ट्रिक: 'is' present है तो 'say' भी present; 'to have been' → 'has been'।

उत्तर: (A) People say that her miserable condition has been a consequence of her reckless spending.

  3. CThe pulchritude of the mountain landscape left the visitors speechless.
  4. DShe felt an ineffable sense of joy when she saw her name on the merit list.

Concept: Find the misspelt word among the four sentences.

  1. 'desconsolite' ✗ → disconsolate (dis + consol + ate) = too sad to be comforted.
  2. belligerent, pulchritude, ineffable – all spelt correctly.

Trick: Think of 'console' → dis-console-ate; prefix is dis-, ending -ate.

Answer: (B) He sat desconsolite in the waiting room after hearing the bad news.

अवधारणा: चारों वाक्यों में गलत वर्तनी वाला शब्द ढूँढें।

  1. 'desconsolite' गलत → सही disconsolate (dis + consol + ate) = बहुत दुखी, जिसे सांत्वना न मिले।
  2. belligerent, pulchritude, ineffable – सही हैं।

ट्रिक: 'console' से बनाएँ → dis-console-ate; उपसर्ग dis-, अंत -ate।

  1. AThe supervisor said, 'The workers have finished the repair work yesterday evening."
  2. BThe supervisor stated, "The workers had finished the repair work yesterday evening."
  3. CThe supervisor said, "The workers finished the repair work yesterday evening."
  4. DThe supervisor said, 'The workers finished the repair work the previous evening."
Show answer

Concept: Reverse the backshift: past perfect → simple past; 'the previous evening' → 'yesterday evening'.

  1. stated (reporting) → said, with inverted commas.
  2. had finished → finished; the previous evening → yesterday evening.
  3. 'have finished yesterday' ✗ (present perfect can't take 'yesterday'); D keeps 'the previous evening' ✗.

Trick: Present perfect never goes with a past time word like 'yesterday' – eliminate A instantly.

Answer: (C) The supervisor said, "The workers finished the repair work yesterday evening."

अवधारणा: Backshift उलटें: had + V3 → V2; 'the previous evening' → 'yesterday evening'।

  1. stated → said, और उद्धरण चिह्न लगाएँ।
  2. had finished → finished; the previous evening → yesterday evening।
  3. 'have finished … yesterday' गलत (present perfect के साथ yesterday नहीं); D में 'the previous evening' बचा है – गलत।

ट्रिक: Present perfect के साथ 'yesterday' जैसे भूतकाल शब्द नहीं आते – A तुरंत हटाएँ।

उत्तर: (C) The supervisor said, "The workers finished the repair work yesterday evening."

Choose the correct passive voice transformation of the sentence: The court cannot permit such a vicious criminal in the country to go unpunished.
  1. ASuch a vicious criminal in the country cannot be permitted to go unpunished by the court.
  2. BSuch a vicious criminal in the country cannot be permitted to be unpunished by the court.
  3. CIt cannot be permitted by the court that such a vicious criminal in the country goes unpunished.
  4. DSuch a vicious criminal in the country must not be permitted to go unpunished by the court.
Show answer

Concept: Modal passive = modal + be + V3; the object becomes the subject.

  1. Object 'such a vicious criminal in the country' → subject.
  2. cannot permit → cannot be permitted; 'to go unpunished' stays the same.
  3. Agent 'by the court' at the end. B changes 'go' to 'be'; D changes cannot to must not.

Trick: Modal and the infinitive part must remain unchanged – only add 'be + V3'.

Answer: (A) Such a vicious criminal in the country cannot be permitted to go unpunished by the court.

अवधारणा: Modal का passive = modal + be + V3; object कर्ता बन जाता है।

  1. Object 'such a vicious criminal in the country' → subject।
  2. cannot permit → cannot be permitted; 'to go unpunished' वैसा ही रहेगा।
  3. अंत में 'by the court'। B ने 'go' को 'be' किया, D ने 'cannot' को 'must not' – दोनों गलत।

ट्रिक: Modal और infinitive भाग नहीं बदलते – केवल 'be + V3' जोड़ें।

उत्तर: (A) Such a vicious criminal in the country cannot be permitted to go unpunished by the court.
