sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution’.
The porter denied to take the money.
  1. ANo substitution
  2. Bdenied taking
  3. Cdenied from taking
  4. Ddenied for taking
Show answer

  1. 'denied to take' गलत।
  2. सही: 'The porter denied taking the money.'
  3. 'from'/'for' अनावश्यक preposition हैं।

You must seize the opportunity to make amends for your earlier curtness.
  1. Ato correct a mistake

Q325.
Select the correct direct form of the given sentence.
She exclaimed that I had grown very tall.
  1. AShe said to me, “How tall are you?”
  2. BShe said to me, “You have grown very tall.”
  3. CShe said to me, “How tall I have grown!”
  4. DShe said to me, “How tall you have grown!”
Show answer

Concept: 'Exclaimed that … very' signals an exclamatory sentence in direct speech: How + adjective + subject + verb + !

  1. 'I had grown very tall' (from my view) → speaker to me: 'you have grown'.
  2. 'very tall' → 'How tall'.
  3. Direct: She said to me, "How tall you have grown!" Option C wrongly uses 'I'; A is a question; B loses the exclamation.

Trick: Exclamatory word order: How tall you have grown! (no inversion).

Answer: (D) She said to me, “How tall you have grown!”

अवधारणा: 'exclaimed that … very' से पता चलता है कि direct में विस्मयादिबोधक वाक्य होगा: How + adjective + subject + verb + !

  1. 'I had grown' → वक्ता मुझसे कहती है: 'you have grown'।
  2. 'very tall' → 'How tall'।
  3. Direct: She said to me, "How tall you have grown!" C में 'I' गलत, A प्रश्न है, B में exclamation नहीं।

ट्रिक: विस्मय वाक्य में inversion नहीं: How tall you have grown!

उत्तर: (D) She said to me, “How tall you have grown!”

  1. AThe farmers are using
  2. Bso then they can get
  3. CHYV seeds

Yaad rakhein: so that + can/could/may = purpose.

  2. सही: '… so that they can get a better yield.'
  3. बाकी भाग सही हैं।

  2. BThe little girl says, “How colourful were these butterflies!’
  3. CThe little girl said, “Are those butterflies very colourful?”
  4. DThe little girl said, “These butterflies are very colourful.”

Answer: (D) The little girl said, “These butterflies are very colourful.”

अवधारणा: Indirect → direct: 'were' → 'are'; 'those' → 'these'; कथन कथन ही रहेगा।

  1. "These butterflies are very colourful."
  2. 'said' वही रहता है।

  2. BYou have administered the medicine every four hours.
  3. CYou are administering the medicine every four hours.
  4. DAdminister the medicine every four hours.
Show answer

  1. ANo substitution
  2. Bloss the heart
  3. Close his heart
  4. Dlost heart
Show answer

Answer: (D) lost heart

अवधारणा: मुहावरा lose heart ('his' के बिना) = हिम्मत हारना। 'Lose one's heart (to someone)' = प्रेम में पड़ना।

I am your true friend, ______?
  1. Aam I
  2. Bis it
  3. Caren’t I
  4. Disn’t it
Show answer

Concept: A positive statement takes a negative tag. For the subject 'I' with 'am', the negative tag is aren't I ('amn't I' is not used).

  1. Statement 'I am your true friend' is positive → negative tag.

Yaad rakhein: I am … , aren't I? I am not … , am I?

Answer: (C) aren’t I

अवधारणा: Positive वाक्य के साथ negative tag आता है। 'I am' का negative tag aren't I होता है।

  1. 'I am your true friend' positive है → negative tag।
  2. subject 'I' ही रहेगा → 'aren't I?'।
  3. 'am I' positive; 'is it/isn't it' में subject गलत।

My neighbour is / an young businessman / who is very friendly / with everyone.
  1. Aan young businessman
  2. BMy neighbour is
  3. Cwho is very friendly
  4. Dwith everyone
Show answer

Concept: 'A' or 'an' depends on the first sound. 'Young' begins with the consonant sound /j/ (ya), so it takes 'a'.

  1. 'an young businessman' is wrong → 'a young businessman'.
  2. Similar: a university, a European, a one-day match.
  3. Other segments are correct.

Yaad rakhein: Listen, don't look: a young, a uniform, an hour.

Answer: (A) an young businessman

अवधारणा: 'a' या 'an' पहली ध्वनि पर निर्भर है। 'Young' व्यंजन ध्वनि /य/ से शुरू होता है, इसलिए 'a'।

  1. 'an young businessman' गलत → 'a young businessman'।
  2. इसी प्रकार: a university, a European।
  3. बाकी भाग सही।

याद रखें: अक्षर नहीं, ध्वनि देखें: a young, a uniform, an hour।

  2. BHow has your generosity been forgotten by me?
  3. CHow can your generosity be forgot by me?
  4. DHow can your generosity be forgotten by me?
Show answer

Concept: Modal active (can + V1) → passive: can + be + V3. In a question the modal comes before the subject.

  1. Object 'your generosity' becomes the subject.
  2. How + can + your generosity + be + forgotten + by me?
  3. 'forgot' is V2, not V3 (forget–forgot–forgotten); B changes the tense; A has wrong word order.

Yaad rakhein: Modal passive = modal + be + V3 (forgotten, not forgot).

Answer: (D) How can your generosity be forgotten by me?

अवधारणा: Modal active (can + V1) → passive: can + be + V3। प्रश्न में modal subject से पहले आता है।

  1. object 'your generosity' subject बनेगा।
  2. How + can + your generosity + be + forgotten + by me?
  3. 'forgot' V2 है, V3 नहीं; B tense बदलता है; A में क्रम गलत।

याद रखें: Modal passive = modal + be + V3 (forgotten)।

  3. CYou said that you scored four goals.
  4. DYou said that you had scored four goals.

  2. Indirect: You said that you had scored four goals.
  3. A में 'I' गलत; B में present perfect; C में tense नहीं बदला।
