English MCQ Solution
S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. The correct answer is option b.
The proper arrangement is – BACD.
S2. Ans. (a)
Sol. The correct answer is option a.
The given sentence is of ‘Active voice’.
The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.
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.
The given sentence is in the simple past tense.
Structure in active voice – Subject + V2+ object.
Structure in passive voice – Object+ was/were V3+ by + subject.
The sentence thus formed is – The woman was attacked by an unknown man.
S3. Ans. (c)
Sol. The correct answer is option c.
Gerontocracy – A state, society, or group governed by old people.

Remaining words are spelt correctly.
S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. The correct answer is option c.
The error lies in part (c) of the sentence. Remove ‘More’ before an adjective ‘Unique’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
Incomparable adjectives describe absolute states or conditions. Modifiers like ‘More and Less’ do not apply to them, and they don’t have comparative and superlative forms.
Examples of ‘An incomparable adjectives’ – unique, excellent, perfect, major, universal, whole, complete, full, unmatched.
S8. Ans. (d)
Sol. The correct answer is option d.
Replace, ‘One of the world’s richest country’ with ‘One of the world’s richest countries’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The indefinite pronouns – ‘One, none, someone, anyone, everyone, somebody, anybody’ are followed by singular nouns and singular verbs but when these pronouns are followed by ‘Of the’ then it is followed by ‘Plural noun and singular verb’.
The possessive form is used with nouns referring to people, groups of people, countries, and animals. It shows a relationship of belonging between one thing and another. To form the possessive, add apostrophe + s to the noun. If the noun is plural, or already ends in s, just add an apostrophe after the s. Hence, usage of ‘World’s’ is correct.
S9. Ans. (b)
Sol. The correct answer is option b.
Replace, ‘Latter’ with ‘Last’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Last (Adjective) – Being the only remaining.
For example – She was the last of the great educational reformers.
Latter (Adjective)- when referring to the second of two persons or things mentioned previously.
For example – We have a dog and a cat. Of the two, the latter makes less noise.
Latest (Adjective) – most recent.
For example – This is the latest book. Here’s the latest news.
Later (Adjective) – at a time in the future; after the time you are talking about
For example – We could catch a later train.
S10. Ans. (c)
