Confessions and False as Abstract Nouns
Confessions and false are both abstract nouns in the sentence "His confessions proved to be false." Let's break down the sentence and understand why these words are considered abstract nouns.
1. Understanding Abstract Nouns:
- Abstract nouns refer to ideas, concepts, qualities, or states that cannot be perceived by the five senses.
- They are intangible and cannot be touched, seen, heard, tasted, or smelled.
- Examples of abstract nouns include love, happiness, courage, anger, and truth.
2. His Confessions:
- The possessive pronoun "his" indicates ownership or possession.
- Confessions refer to the act of admitting or acknowledging something, often related to guilt or wrongdoing.
- In this context, "his confessions" refers to the specific admissions made by the person mentioned earlier in the conversation or text.
3. Proved to be False:
- The verb "proved" indicates that something has been demonstrated or shown to be true or valid.
- "To be false" is a phrase that indicates the opposite of truth or accuracy.
- False refers to something that is not true, genuine, or real.
4. Identifying the Abstract Nouns:
- In the given sentence, the abstract noun is "confessions."
- Confessions represent the act of admitting or acknowledging something, which cannot be perceived by the senses.
- False, on the other hand, is not an abstract noun but an adjective describing the nature of the confessions.
Conclusion:
- In the sentence "His confessions proved to be false," the abstract noun is "confessions," representing the act of admitting or acknowledging something.
- False, while not an abstract noun, is an adjective describing the nature of the confessions.
- It is important to understand the distinction between abstract and concrete nouns to accurately identify and use them in sentences.

Richa garg answered |
Explanation:
The underlined phrase in the given sentence is "is repairing the plumbing." The subject of the sentence is "Either John or David," which is singular. Therefore, the verb should also be singular to agree with the subject. The correct verb form for a singular subject is "is."
Option A: "are repairing the plumbing"
This option changes the verb form to "are," which is plural. Since the subject is singular, this is not the correct form.
Option B: "NO CHANGE"
This option keeps the original verb form "is," which is correct. It maintains subject-verb agreement and does not require any changes.
Option C: "are sorting out the plumbing"
This option changes the verb to "are," which is plural. Additionally, the phrase "sorting out the plumbing" does not accurately convey the meaning of repairing the plumbing. Therefore, this option is not the correct choice.
Option D: "are renovating the plumbing"
Similar to option C, this option changes the verb to "are," which is plural. Additionally, the word "renovating" implies a more extensive process than simply repairing the plumbing. Therefore, this option is not the correct choice.
Conclusion:
After considering all the options, we can conclude that option B, "NO CHANGE," is the best correction for the underlined phrase. It maintains subject-verb agreement and accurately conveys the intended meaning of repairing the plumbing.

"They" is a personal pronoun because it is used to refer to a person or people in a general sense or when the gender of the person is unknown or irrelevant. It can be used to replace the pronouns "he" or "she" when the gender is unspecified or when referring to a group of people. Therefore, "they" is a personal pronoun in English.

The correct option is a) "Is she a doctor?" which is asking whether she is a doctor or not. The other options are incorrect as they don't follow this rule or don't make sense grammatically.

**Adjective Definition:**
An adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun or pronoun. It provides more information about the noun or pronoun by answering questions such as what kind, which one, how many, or how much.
**Explanation:**
Out of the given options, the adjective is:
**d) Jumpy**
Let's analyze each option to understand why only "Jumpy" is an adjective:
a) Jump: This is a verb, not an adjective. It describes an action of moving off the ground.
b) Jumping: This is a present participle form of the verb "jump." Like "jump," it is also a verb, not an adjective. It describes an ongoing action of moving off the ground.
c) Jumps: This is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb "jump." Similar to the previous options, it is a verb and not an adjective.
d) Jumpy: This is the correct answer. It is an adjective that describes someone or something that is nervous, easily startled, or prone to sudden movements. It modifies a noun by providing more information about its characteristics.
In summary, "Jumpy" is the only option that functions as an adjective because it describes or modifies a noun or pronoun, while the other options are verbs.

d) The car was washed by the boy.
Explanation:
The active voice is a grammatical construction in which the subject of a sentence performs the action expressed by the verb. In this case, the subject is the doer of the action. Let's break down the given options and identify the active voice sentence:

Understanding Adjectives
Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns, providing more information about them. In the sentence "The delicious pizza was hot and fresh from the oven," we need to identify which word functions as an adjective.
Identifying the Adjectives in the Sentence
- Delicious: This word describes the noun "pizza," indicating its appealing taste. It qualifies the pizza and gives us insight into its flavor, making it an adjective.
- Hot: While it also describes the pizza, it functions as an adjective that provides information about the temperature of the pizza.
- Fresh: Similar to "hot," this word describes the pizza's quality, indicating it's newly made and not stale.
Correct Answer Analysis
- The question states that the correct answer is option 'A', which is delicious.
- This is justified because "delicious" is a strong descriptor that emphasizes the appealing nature of the pizza.
- Although "hot" and "fresh" also serve as adjectives, the emphasis placed on taste makes "delicious" the primary adjective in the context of this sentence.
Conclusion
In summary, while all four words (delicious, hot, fresh) are adjectives describing "pizza," the word "delicious" stands out as the most impactful descriptor. Therefore, option 'A' is correctly identified as the answer.

Understanding the Sentence Structure
In the sentence "After he finished his work, he went for a walk," identifying the conjunction is crucial for understanding how the different parts of the sentence relate to each other.
What is a Conjunction?
- A conjunction is a word that connects clauses or sentences.
- It helps in forming complex sentences by linking ideas.
Identifying the Conjunction
- In this sentence, the word "After" serves as a conjunction.
- It introduces a dependent clause ("he finished his work") and links it to the main clause ("he went for a walk").
Function of "After"
- "After" indicates a time relationship between the two actions.
- It shows that the action of going for a walk occurs subsequent to finishing the work.
Other Words in the Sentence
- "Finished" and "work" are verbs and nouns, respectively, while "went" is also a verb.
- None of these words function to connect clauses, which is the primary role of a conjunction.
Conclusion
- Therefore, option 'A' ("After") is indeed the correct answer.
- Understanding conjunctions like "After" helps in grasping the flow and structure of sentences, enhancing overall comprehension.

Regular Verbs in the Past Tense
Regular verbs follow a specific pattern when forming the past tense. They typically add the suffix "-ed" to the base form of the verb to indicate past tense. In the given options, the regular verb in the past tense is "walked."
Explanation:
Regular verbs in the past tense follow a consistent pattern, regardless of the verb's base form. Let's analyze each option to determine which one is a regular verb in the past tense.
1. Take: The base form of the verb is "take." To form the past tense, we add the suffix "-ed." However, "took" is the correct past tense form of "take," making it an irregular verb.
2. Go: The base form of the verb is "go." To form the past tense, we add the suffix "-ed." However, "went" is the correct past tense form of "go," making it an irregular verb.
3. Run: The base form of the verb is "run." To form the past tense, we add the suffix "-ed." However, "ran" is the correct past tense form of "run," making it an irregular verb.
4. Walked: The base form of the verb is "walk." To form the past tense, we add the suffix "-ed." The correct past tense form of "walk" is indeed "walked," making it a regular verb.
Therefore, option D, "walked," is the correct answer as it is a regular verb in the past tense. The other options (take, go, run) are irregular verbs as they do not follow the typical "-ed" pattern to form the past tense.

The correct sentence is:
b) I saw a unicorn in the forest.
This is because "unicorn" starts with a vowel sound, so we use "an" before a word that starts with a vowel sound. However, "unicorn" is not pronounced with a vowel sound at the beginning; it is pronounced with a consonant sound "yoo," so we use "a" instead of "an."

Abstract nouns refer to things that cannot be perceived through any of our senses (touch, see, taste, smell, hear). They are emotions, activities or states of being. For example, 'happiness', intelligence', etc.
In the given sentence, 'hard work' refers to 'a great deal of effort'. It's an activity that involves a good amount of effort and cannot be perceived through the senses. Hence it's an abstract noun and option C is correct.

Shantala nair answered |
Understanding the Correction
The sentence in question states that "Cliff Richard, or Harry Webb as he was originally called, were award-winning artists." The subject "Cliff Richard" is singular, which means the verb should also be singular.
Subject-Verb Agreement
- The subject "Cliff Richard" refers to one individual.
- Therefore, the correct verb form should be "was" instead of "were."
Analysis of the Options
- a) were highly acclaimed artists: Incorrect due to the use of "were" and does not maintain subject-verb agreement.
- b) was an award-winning artist: Correct as it uses "was," which agrees with the singular subject "Cliff Richard." It also appropriately describes him as an "award-winning artist."
- c) were internationally known artists: Incorrect for the same reason as option a; it uses "were," which does not agree with the singular subject.
- d) No Change: Incorrect as it maintains the original error in subject-verb agreement.
Conclusion
Choosing option b is essential for grammatical accuracy. It ensures that the sentence correctly reflects that Cliff Richard, as a singular subject, is described in the past tense as a single award-winning artist rather than multiple artists.
