Solutions

S1. Ans. (c)

Sol. The correct answer is option c.

The proper arrangement is – ACBD

A- It is the opening sentence as it introduces the topic by informing about ‘A hungry wolf.’ (Who was in search of his prey.)

C – It tells that the wolf saw a goat. Use of the pronoun ‘He’ is a hint here. Also, sentence C is linked with sentence A.

B – It tells that the goat also saw the hungry wolf.

D – It concludes by telling that the wolf killed the goat before he escapes.

S2. Ans. (b)

Sol. The correct answer is option b.

The given sentence is ‘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

(grow the plants)

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 sentence thus formed is – Plants are grown by her.

S3. Ans. (a)

Sol. The correct answer is option a.

Calligraphy – The art of writing beautifully with a special pen or brush.

Option (a) portrays the same meaning as that of the given group of words & hence it is the correct choice.

S4. Ans. (c)

Sol. The correct answer is option c.

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

As per the context, the word ‘Generated’ fits in very well & hence, it is the correct

choice.

S5. Ans. (a)

Sol. The correct answer is option a.

Option (a) portrays the same meaning as that of the given idiom & hence, it is the

correct choice.

S6. Ans. (d)

Sol. The correct answer is option d.

The correct spelling is ‘Affiliation’.

Remaining words are spelt correctly.

S7. Ans. (b)

Sol. The correct answer is option b.

The error lies in part b of the sentence.

Replace ‘Elder’ with ‘Eldest’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Superlative degree – It is the form of an adjective or an adverb used to compare three or more things.

The superlative form of an adjective is used to show something has a quality to the greatest or least degree. It is used to show something has performed an action to the greatest or least degree.

Comparative degree – It is used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared.

If there were only two sisters, we could have used the comparative form ‘Elder’ here. But in the given sentence there are four sisters therefore, use of superlative form is appropriate.

S8. Ans. (a)

Sol. The correct answer is option a.

Replace ‘One of the most loved celebrity’ with ‘One of the most loved celebrities’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
