Question 15

The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them contains an error. Select
the part that contains the error from the given options.
No sooner did Priya / get her report card / when she started jumping / with joy.

Accepted Answer

The correlative conjunction 'No sooner...than' is used to indicate that one event happens immediately after another. In the given sentence, 'when' is incorrectly used instead of 'than'. Therefore, the correct phrase should be 'than she started jumping'.

Question 16

Select the option that expresses the given sentence in reported speech.
The policeman said, “It is clear that this is the work of a professional robber”.

Question 19

aकसी aवdश4 कूटभाषा मÂ 'SURROUND' को 'RRUSDNUO’ के £प मÂ cलखा जाता है। तो उसी भाषा मÂ
‘MITIGATE’ को कैसे cलखा जाएगा?

Accepted Answer

The pattern involves splitting the word 'SURROUND' into two halves 'SURR' and 'OUND'. The first half is reversed to 'RRUS' and the second half is also reversed to 'DNUO'. These two reversed halves are then combined, with the second reversed half placed before the first reversed half, resulting in 'RRUSDNUO'. Applying the same logic to 'MITIGATE', split it into 'MITI' and 'GATE'. Reverse 'MITI' to 'ITIM' and 'GATE' to 'ETAG'. Combine them as 'ETAG' + 'ITIM' = 'ETAGITIM'. Wait, the example is 'RRUSDNUO' from 'SURROUND'. 'SURR' reversed is 'RRUS', 'OUND' reversed is 'DNUO'. The output is 'RRUSDNUO'. This means the second half reversed is placed first, then the first half reversed. So for 'MITIGATE', 'MITI' reversed is 'ITIM', 'GATE' reversed is 'ETAG'. So it should be 'ETAGITIM'. Let's re-examine the example. 'SURROUND' -> 'RRUSDNUO'. 'SURR' (1-4) and 'OUND' (5-8). 'RRUS' (reversed 1-4) and 'DNUO' (reversed 5-8). The output is 'RRUSDNUO'. This is 'RRUS' followed by 'DNUO'. So it's just reversing each half and concatenating them in the original order. Let's re-check. 'SURROUND' -> 'SURR' (reversed 'RRUS') and 'OUND' (reversed 'DNUO'). Concatenate: 'RRUSDNUO'. This matches. Now for 'MITIGATE'. 'MITI' (reversed 'ITIM') and 'GATE' (reversed 'ETAG'). Concatenate: 'ITIMETAG'. This matches option 4.
