While changing it into indirect form, we consider following rules.

Reported Verb – ‘Said to’ changes to ‘Told’.

‘These’ changes to ‘Those’.

The sentence thus formed is – I told Kirti that those plants would take about two months to flower.

C – It is the opening sentence as it introduces the topic by informing about a person who ordered cable and bars of iron.

A – It informs more about those cables. Hence, sentence A comes after an introductory sentence.

D – It states what that person does with that cable which is linked with the earlier sentence. Hence, AD forms the pair.

B – It concludes by stating that the person made hooks.

Sol. The correct answer is option b.

Carnivore – An animal that eats meat; a meat eater.

Option (b) portrays the same meaning as that of the given group of words.

The given sentence is grammatically & contextually correct.

Switching off – It is a phrasal verb which means, ‘To turn off (something) by turning or pushing a button or moving a switch, lever, etc.’

 

S7. Ans.(b)

Sol. The correct answer is option b.

The proper arrangement is – ADCB

A – It is the opening sentence as it introduces the topic by informing about a Typhoon Kammuri.

D – It states what happened because of that Typhoon. Hint here is usage of the pronoun ‘It’ (used for Typhoon.) and the sentence also linked with the introductory sentence. Hence, AD forms the pair.

C – It states what the authority did in order to prevent the loss.

B – It concludes by stating that the officials closed schools & evacuated people from their homes which is linked with the sentence C. Hence, CB forms the pair.

 

S8. Ans.(c)

Sol. The correct answer is option c.

Replace ‘Starts’ with ‘Started’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.

The conjunction “When” is used to indicate the past continuous tense. This tense is used to denote an action going on at some time in the past.

It is used when one of the past actions was going on (boys were playing) when the other action intervened. (suddenly started raining.)

So, whenever we use “When” in the past continuous tense, one of the past actions must be “going on” (continuous) in nature.

The “going on” (playing the match) action is expressed in the continuous form while the intervening (started raining) action is expressed in the past indefinite form.

The sentence thus formed is – When the boys were playing the match, it suddenly started raining.

 

S9. Ans.(c)

Sol. The correct answer is option c.

Replace ` Parents talked’ with `Parents were talking’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.

While – It is mostly used when two actions happen simultaneously in the past. (Talking to the visitor and at the same time making tea – two actions at the same time.)

It is used to indicate the past continuous tense. This tense is used to denote an action going on at some time in the past.

When ‘ While ‘ is used in the sentence, the structure for it –

Was / were verb + ing and Verb 2

The sentence thus formed is – While my parents were talking to the visitor, I made tea in the kitchen

 

S10. Ans.(a)

Sol. The correct answer is option a.

The word that can be filled in the blank is, `Pursued.’
