- Option A) is incorrect. 'Of' expresses possession or belonging. Example: He is the head of the department. So, 'of' should not be used here.
- Option B) is incorrect. 'For' is used to express the purpose of something. Example: She has sent an umbrella for you. So, 'for' should not be used here.
- Option C) is the correct sentence. 'In front of' is the correct preposition.
- Option D) is incorrect. 'From' is used to indicate the starting point of something. Example: I am coming from Delhi. So, 'from' should not be used here.

Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In this question, we need to choose the correct sentence that demonstrates subject-verb agreement. Subject-verb agreement means that the subject and the verb in a sentence must agree in number. In other words, if the subject is singular, the verb should be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb should be plural.
Options Analysis:
a) Rita and me are eating pancakes.
- This sentence is incorrect because it uses the pronoun "me" as the subject, which should be the pronoun "I". The correct form should be "Rita and I are eating pancakes", where "Rita and I" is the subject and "are eating" is the plural verb.
b) You, she and I are very irresponsible.
- This sentence is correct as it follows subject-verb agreement. The subject "You, she, and I" is a compound subject, and the plural verb "are" agrees with the plural subject.
c) She advised me to read this book.
- This sentence is correct as it follows subject-verb agreement. The subject "She" is singular, and the singular verb "advised" agrees with the singular subject.
d) Neither of these three girls is intelligent.
- This sentence is incorrect because it uses the singular verb "is" with the plural subject "three girls". The correct form should be "Neither of these three girls are intelligent", where "are" is the plural verb that agrees with the plural subject.
Correct Answer:
The correct sentence is option 'C': She advised me to read this book.

Explanation:
In order to form a single sentence from the given two sentences, we need to select a phrase/connector that can be placed at the start of the sentence and implies the same meaning as expressed in the statement sentences.
Let's analyze the given sentences:
Sentence 1: The police arrived at the railway station.
Sentence 2: The suspect saw them, fired three bullets, and ran away.
We need to find a phrase/connector that can connect these two sentences and convey the same meaning.
Option (i) "After firing three bullets" does not connect the two sentences properly. It suggests a sequence of events but does not indicate the connection between the police arriving and the suspect firing the bullets.
Option (ii) "In watching the police" is grammatically incorrect as it lacks a verb and does not convey a clear connection between the two sentences.
Option (iii) "As soon as the police" is the correct phrase/connector to use in this case. It indicates that the suspect's action of firing three bullets and running away happened immediately after the police arrived at the railway station.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - Only (iii) "As soon as the police".

Rahul Desai answered |
- The exclamatory type of sentences is the sentences that give a command.
- They usually end with a full-stop or an exclamation mark (!)
- Structure of the exclamatory sentence is- What/How + subject + verb + predicate
- Exclamatory sentences are the ones that create an impression of surprise
- These can be further divided into-
- Positive exclamatory sentence- "What a liar he is"
- Negative exclamatory sentence- "Do not disturb her!"
- Optative Sentence: The sentence which expresses a prayer, keen wish, curse etc. is called an optative sentence. This kind of sentence generally starts with 'may' and 'wish'. Sometimes, 'may' remains hidden.
Hence, the correct answer is- Exclamatory

Rahul Desai answered |
- The given two sentences are only connected with the connector 'As' to make a meaningful sentence.
- 'As' is an adverb that is used to give the reason.
- From the second sentence, We can conclude that the president declared the emergency but the reason is the first sentence hence we need to use an adverb to tell the reason.
- From the third sentence, it can not be possible because 'being' is used, it means the subject 'the country' has already known so we can't use 'being as a state'
Out of the given three options, the two sentences can be joined into a single sentence as:- 'As the country was in a state of deep turmoil, the President declared an emergency.'

Rahul Desai answered |
- ‘Much’ is used when we are speaking about a singular noun.
- “Too much” means that there is an excess of something.
- “Too” is used to describe that the adjective or adverb being used is in an excessive or extreme state, while “much” describes the fact that this phrase describes the quantity of something.
- In the given sentence, 'too noisy' is most appropriate.
- Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

Understanding the Question
The task is to combine two sentences into one using an appropriate connector. The original sentences are:
- Maxine was the topper in her class.
- Sasha was in the bottom three.
Analyzing the Options
1. Notwithstanding
- This means "in spite of" or "despite." Using this would imply a contrast between Maxine and Sasha, but it does not establish a clear relationship between their positions in class.
2. Whereas
- This connector is used to show contrast between two clauses. It implies that Maxine and Sasha occupy opposite ends of the academic spectrum, making it a suitable choice. The sentence could read: "Maxine was the topper in her class, whereas Sasha was in the bottom three."
3. Unless
- This implies a condition, meaning "if not." It does not logically connect the two sentences as it would imply that if Maxine was not the topper, then Sasha would not be in the bottom three, which is not the intended meaning.
Conclusion
Only "Whereas" effectively conveys the contrast between Maxine and Sasha's academic standings. Therefore, the correct answer is option D (Only 2).
Key Takeaways
- Connector Analysis: Understand the relationship each connector implies.
- Correct Usage: Use "whereas" for contrasting statements to combine the sentences effectively.

Answer:
To change the given sentence "How childish your talks are!" into an assertive sentence, we need to rephrase it without the question word "How" and without the exclamation mark. The assertive sentence will simply state the fact without expressing surprise or questioning.
The correct option that changes the given sentence into an assertive sentence is option 'D' - "Your talks are very childish."
Explanation:
To understand why option 'D' is the correct answer, let's analyze the other options:
a) "Your talks are childish."
This option is a simple and straightforward assertion that the talks are childish. However, it does not capture the intensity of the original sentence. The original sentence expresses surprise or disbelief, which is better represented by the word "very" in option 'D'.
b) "Your talks should be childish."
This option suggests that the talks are not currently childish, but they should be. However, this does not accurately convey the meaning of the original sentence. The original sentence is making a judgment about the talks being childish, rather than suggesting what they should be.
c) "Your talks are not childish."
This option negates the assertion of the talks being childish. However, it contradicts the original sentence, which implies that the talks are indeed childish. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
d) "Your talks are very childish."
This option accurately conveys the meaning of the original sentence. It states that the talks are not just childish but are very childish. This captures the intensity and judgment expressed in the original sentence. Therefore, option 'D' is the correct answer.
In conclusion, the correct option is 'D' - "Your talks are very childish" because it accurately represents the original sentence in an assertive form.
To change the given sentence "How childish your talks are!" into an assertive sentence, we need to rephrase it without the question word "How" and without the exclamation mark. The assertive sentence will simply state the fact without expressing surprise or questioning.

In conclusion, the correct option is 'D' - "Your talks are very childish" because it accurately represents the original sentence in an assertive form.

Rahul Desai answered |
- The third statement is grammatically correct as it shows the correct order of pronouns.
- The order of pronouns tells about the sequential way the pronouns should be used in a sentence.
- When the sentence depicts a positive context then the order of pronoun is 2,3,1, i.e. the second person, the third person singular, and the first person.
- Example: You, he, and I are selected for the job. (Correct)
- But, when it depicts a sense of responsibility then the order of pronoun is 1, 2 and 3, i.e. the first person, the second person, and the third person.
- Example: I, you and he could not achieve the target.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: I, you and he are going to pluck the mango from his garden.

Rahul Desai answered |
- The given sentence talks about an undefined number or a group of restaurants.
- The preposition 'among' is used when talking about people or things that are not distinct and are viewed as a group.
- Example: A decision that has caused a lot of anger among women.
- Therefore the word 'against' must be replaced with the preposition 'among' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
- Hence option c is the correct answer.

- In the given context, the main clause is in 'simple future tense'
- Thus, 'If clause' will be in present tense; i.e. 'will win' will be replaced with 'wins'
- The given context is a conditional sentence The structure of the conditional sentence is- If + Simple Present, Simple Future
- In such sentences 'If clause' will be in simple present tense and the 'main clause' in simple future tense

Rahul Desai answered |
- In the underlined segment, the use of the common noun plural form 'Tons' is incorrect.
- The verb 'was' in the given sentence is a singular verb.
- We know that a singular subject will always take a singular verb.
- Therefore, the singular common noun 'A flock' should be used in place of 'Tons'.

d)

|

Rahul Desai answered |
- The sentence means that Mary did not speak much after the party began.
- The adverb 'hardly' means 'barely; only just'.
- The preposition 'since' means 'in the intervening period between (the time mentioned) and the time under consideration, typically the present.' Eg: She had hated it since she was a baby.
- So, only option 1 is correct.
- no other option conveys this meaning.

Rahul Desai answered |
- The first statement talks about how she (Mohini) scored full marks on her exam, while the second statement talks about how she would not be permitted to participate in her annual day.
- It would not make sense that even though she already scored full marks on her exam that someone would not allow her to participate in an extra-curricular activity (annual day).
- It would be more logical to assume that if it so happened that Mohini did not score full marks on her exam she would not be allowed to participate in the annual day.
- 'Unless' is a connector used to introduce an exception.
- One statement is the truth, except for in the following scenario.
Thus, the final statement will be: 'Unless she scored full marks in her exam, Mohini would not be allowed to participate in the annual day.'

Rahul Desai answered |
- Verbs of perception such as see, taste, smell, hear, prefer, notice, please, recognize etc. do not take 'ing' form.
- And hence do not come in the continuous tense.
- Thus, to convert the sentence to Past Perfect tense instead of Past Perfect Continuous tense, in order to make it grammatically correct, we will have to replace the underlined words with 'seen'.
- Hence, option b is the most appropriate choice.

Rahul Desai answered |
- The underlined part begins with the preposition 'since'.
- When 'since' is used a preposition of time, it is used to refer to a specific point in time.
- So to use it for a period of time (more than 16 years) is incorrect.
- The correct preposition to be used with a period of time is 'for'.
- So, to improve the sentence we need to replace the underlined part with 'for more than 16 years'.

Rahul Desai answered |
- "An advice" is incorrect because "advice," when used as a single word, is uncountable. It's correct to say "some advice" or "a piece of advice" or "a bit of advice" or "a lot of advice" or "not much advice" etc.
- Example:
