Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'c' - are.
In the given sentence, we are talking about "some people" who are good at Maths. The subject "some people" is plural, referring to more than one person. Therefore, we need to use a plural verb form to agree with the subject.
Subject-Verb Agreement:
Subject-verb agreement means that the verb used in a sentence should agree in number with the subject. In simple terms, if the subject is singular, the verb should also be singular. If the subject is plural, the verb should also be plural.
In the given sentence, the subject "some people" is plural, so we need to use the plural form of the verb.
- Option 'a' - is: The verb "is" is singular and does not agree with the plural subject "some people," so it is incorrect.
- Option 'b' - am: The verb "am" is the first-person singular form and cannot be used with the subject "some people," so it is incorrect.
- Option 'd' - do: The verb "do" is the plural form, but it does not correctly match the subject "some people," so it is incorrect.
Correct Answer:
The correct answer is option 'c' - are. The verb "are" is the plural form of the verb "be" and correctly matches the subject "some people."

c)

|
Mehul Sharma answered |
Modal Verb 'May'
- The modal verb 'may' is used to express permission or possibility.
- In the given sentence, 'May' is the most suitable modal verb because it expresses the hope or wish that God grants the listener the courage to face the situation.
- The speaker is not asking if God has the ability to grant courage ('can'), if it is definite that God will grant courage ('will'), or if there is a slight chance God will grant courage ('might'). The speaker is expressing a hope or wish for the listener.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - May God give you courage to face it!

Nishtha Mukherjee answered |
Understanding the Sentence Structure
In the sentence "Mathematics _____ my favourite subject," we need to fill in the blank with a verb that correctly completes the thought expressed in the sentence. The options provided are "is," "are," "were," and "been."
Analyzing the Subject
- "Mathematics" is a singular noun, even though it refers to a collection of concepts.
- In English grammar, the subject-verb agreement is crucial. A singular subject requires a singular verb.
Choosing the Correct Verb
- Option a) is: This is the correct answer. "Mathematics is my favourite subject" correctly uses the singular verb "is" to match the singular noun "Mathematics."
- Option b) are: This is incorrect because "are" is a plural verb and does not agree with the singular noun.
- Option c) were: This is also incorrect. "Were" is the past tense plural form and does not fit the present context of expressing a current favorite subject.
- Option d) been: This is the past participle form and does not function as a main verb in this context.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer is option 'A': "Mathematics is my favourite subject." This choice maintains grammatical accuracy and aligns with the singular nature of the subject. Understanding subject-verb agreement is essential for constructing clear and correct sentences.

Parth Das answered |
Explanation:
Modal verb 'would' for polite requests:
- In this sentence, the modal verb 'would' is used to make a polite request or suggestion.
- When asking someone to do something in a polite manner, we can use 'would' to make the request sound more courteous.
- Therefore, the correct modal verb to fill in the blank is 'would' in this context.
Incorrect options:
- 'Could' is also a modal verb used for making requests, but 'would' is more suitable in this sentence for politeness.
- 'Can' is used for expressing ability or permission, not for making requests.
- 'Must' is used to show necessity or obligation, which does not fit the context of this sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A) would'.

Shruti Singh answered |
Understanding Subject-Verb Agreement
In English grammar, subject-verb agreement is crucial for constructing correct sentences. The verb must match the subject in both number (singular or plural) and tense.
Analyzing the Sentence
The sentence in question is: "The Three Musketeers _____ written by Dumas."
- Subject: "The Three Musketeers"
- This is a plural subject because it refers to three characters.
- Verb Options:
- a) Been
- b) Are
- c) Were
- d) Was
Determining the Correct Verb
To find the right verb, consider the following:
- Tense: The sentence refers to a completed action in the past (the book was written).
- Plurality: Since "The Three Musketeers" is plural, the verb must also be in a form that agrees with a plural subject.
Evaluating the Options
- Option a (Been): This is not a standalone verb and does not fit the sentence structure.
- Option b (Are): This is present tense, which does not match the context of a completed action.
- Option c (Were): This is past tense and agrees with the plural subject. However, it suggests a different structure (e.g., "The Three Musketeers were written...").
- Option d (Was): This is singular and does not agree with the plural subject.
Conclusion
The correct answer is actually "were" (option c) to maintain proper subject-verb agreement. The complete sentence should read: "The Three Musketeers were written by Dumas."
Ensure you always check both the number and tense when selecting verbs to maintain agreement with the subject!

Sarita Singh answered |
Soup is a singular noun. Thus, it will take the singular verb form.
"Taste" in option A is the plural form of the verb and is incorrect.
"Tastes" in option B is the singular form of the verb and is in subject verb agreement. Thus, this is correct.
"Is tasting" is the present continuous tense form of the verb. The context refers to a general truth, so simple present verb will be used.
As option B is correct, "none of these" in option D is void.

Raghav Dasgupta answered |
Explanation:
The given sentence is in the present tense, and the subject is 'she'. We need to choose the correct form of the verb 'look' to complete the sentence.
The correct answer is option 'A' - looks.
Here's why:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In English grammar, the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number and person. In this sentence, the subject 'she' is a third-person singular pronoun. Therefore, we need to use the third-person singular form of the verb 'look', which is 'looks'.
Present Simple Tense:
The sentence is also in the present simple tense, which is used to describe actions that are habitual, routine, or currently happening. The correct form of the verb 'look' for the present simple tense is 'looks'.
Hence, the correct sentence is "She looks worried about something."

Sarita Singh answered |
The sentence talks about how children have to obey their teachers. This is a rule they must follow. In this context, the word 'obey' is the best word to fill in the blank. This is because it indicates a compulsory action that must be performed by the children. Option D) ought is incorrect in the given sentence because it has to be followed by 'to.' Option B) and C) are eliminated because of the above given explanation. So, the option that completes the sentence correctly is option A) should. Another word that would have completed the sentence correctly is 'must' but it is not included in the options.

Sarita Singh answered |
When we refer to a specific amount of money as a whole (example 90 rupees), we still use the singular form of the verb, even though the currency is a plural word (rupees). If we talk about each rupee separately, however, then we use the plural verb form. So, the most appropriate answer is option A) is. Options B) and C) are plural verbs so are incorrect. Option D) is grammatically incorrect for the sentence given.

Sarita Singh answered |
in this sentence we would be understanding the agreement of verb with subject. In this case, although the noun sounds plural, "mathematics" is singular in meaning. Some nouns which are plural in form but singular in meaning, take a singular verb.

"were" and "are" are plural verbs.
"have" is the root VERB and is generally used alongside the PRONOUNS I / You / We / Ye and They and PLURAL NOUNS. It is the wrong option

Priya Pillai answered |
Understanding the Sentence Structure
In the sentence "I ________ (do) mind eating in fast food restaurants on weekends," we need to fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb "do."
Choosing the Right Option
- The subject of the sentence is "I."
- The phrase "I mind" means that the speaker has a negative feeling or discomfort about something.
- To express a negative, we use "do not" (contracted as "don't") with the subject "I."
Analysis of Options
- Option a) do: This is incorrect because it doesn't convey a negative meaning; it would imply the speaker does mind eating at fast food restaurants.
- Option b) don't: This is the correct answer. "I don't mind" means the speaker is okay with eating in fast food restaurants on weekends.
- Option c) does: This is incorrect because "does" is used with third-person singular subjects like "he," "she," or "it," not with "I."
- Option d) doesn't: This is also incorrect for the same reason as option c; "doesn't" is used with third-person subjects.
Conclusion
The correct completion is "I don't mind eating in fast food restaurants on weekends," indicating that the speaker is comfortable with this activity. Thus, option 'B' is the right choice.

Answer:

b) does - This is the correct option. "Does" is the singular form of the verb "do" and is used for singular subjects.

d) doesnt - This is the correct option. "Doesnt" is the contraction of "does not" which is used with singular subjects.
Conclusion:
The correct option is "d) doesnt" because it agrees with the singular subject "He" in the given sentence.

When 'none' is followed by 'of', look at the noun in the of-phrase (object of the preposition). If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb.
According to the stated rule, option B is the correct answer because the object of the preposition, 'cats', is plural and the plural verb 'are' is to be used for the sentence to be grammatically correct.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'was', 'has been' and 'is' are singular verbs. Since the object of the preposition is plural, none of these verbs can be used with it.

The sentence is in simple present tense as it indicates an action that is a part of a plan or arrangement.
"Wants" in option A is correct as it is third person present participle of the singular verb. This is in subject verb agreement with the singular subject 'headmaster'.
"Is wanting" is an adjective that indicates lacking. This is not required here.
"Was wanting" is incorrect as it indicates the past participle of the adjective and indicates lack in something in the past.
As option A is correct, option D 'none of these' is void.

The sentence expresses that hurrying is not necessary. For such cases, we use “need not”.
So, the complete sentence is:
You need not hurry, there is plenty of time.
You need not hurry, there is plenty of time.
