S3. Ans (b)
Sol. The correct answer is option b.
The given sentence is of ‘Active voice’.
The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.
In the given sentence, the subject is `She’ and the subject performs some action/ some actions related to the subject.
(Passed the exam)
The passive infinitive is an infinitive construction in which the agent (or performer of the action) either appears in a prepositional phrase following the verb or is not identified at all. It is particularly common after modal verbs (may, should, could, etc.) to indicate what is possible or what is correct. The passive infinitive is formed – to be + past participle.
The Passive Infinitive is used when the focus is on the receiver of the action of the Verb. Now we have to convert it into passive voice.
Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does
nothing, but allows something to be done.
In the passive form, the object of the verb in Active voice becomes the subject of the
verb in the Passive voice. ‘By’ is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the
object.
‘Be’ is added after ‘To’ and the 3rd form of Verb is used for making Passive Voice.
The sentence thus formed is – The exam has to be passed by her.

S4. Ans (c)
Sol. The correct answer is option c.
The given sentence is ‘Direct Speech’.
Direct Speech – Reporting the message of the speaker in the exact words as spoken by
him.
Indirect Speech – Reporting the message of the speaker in our own words.
The given sentence is ‘Exclamatory sentences.’
Exclamatory sentences express a sudden outburst of some emotions such as joy, sorrow, contempt, regret, surprise etc.
While changing it into direct form, we consider following rules.
Reported Verb – ‘Said’ changes to ‘Exclaimed.’
The sentence thus formed is – The C.M of Gujarat exclaimed that it was a terrible earthquake.

S5. Ans (c)
Sol. The correct answer is option c.
Replace ‘Platform’ with ‘Platforms’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The noun or a pronoun used after the phrase “One of” is always in the plural form.
Hence, the usage of singular nouns after ‘One of’ is wrong.

S6. Ans (b)
Sol. The correct answer is option b.
The word that can be filled in the blank is, ‘Prevailing’.
Prevailing – Existed and accepted among a large number of people, or having the most appeal or influence.
The sentence states the belief that existed in 1930 and the only word that describes those beliefs is the word ‘Prevailing.’
Contemporary – Belonging to or occurring in the present.
As per the context of the passage the word `Prevailing’ fits in properly & hence it is
the correct choice.
S7. Ans (a)

Honorarium – A payment given for professional services that are rendered nominally without charge.
Whereas, meaning of other words –
Mercenary – Primarily concerned with making money at the expense of ethics.
Compensation – Something, typically money, awarded to someone in recognition of loss, suffering, or injury.
Commission – a formal request to do a special piece of work for payment
Option (a) portrays the same meaning as that of the given group of words & hence it is the correct choice.

Verity – The quality or state of being true or real.
