Test: Sentences - 2 - Class 1 MCQ

• 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.'​

• 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

• 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.

• "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:
  • ​As a bit of advice, it may be worth pondering.

• Option A) is incorrect because the sentence has two subjects and 'me' is used as an object. Example: She has told me to read books. Therefore, 'me' should be replaced with 'I' in order to make the sentence correct.
• Option B) is incorrect. If the sentence is about accepting guilt or mistake, the order is First, Second, Third person[Rule 123]. The given sentence is expressing a flaw. So, the arrangement of the pronouns should be 'I', 'you' and 'she'. 
• Option C) is grammatically correct.
• Option D) is incorrect. 'Neither' should be replaced with 'none' because the sentence is talking about more than two girls.

• 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.

• Subject and verb are inverted for expressions beginning with not. 
• Therefore I did becomes did I
• ​Therefore the correct answer is a moment did I.

• 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'. 

• 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.'

• The first statement talks about how Maxine is a topper in her class.  
• The second statement talks about how Sasha was in the bottom three in the same class. 
• 'Whereas' is a connector used to refer to a contrast or comparison. 
• In the current sentence, there are 2 people from the same class and their rankings are being compared. 

Thus, the final sentence will be: "Maxine was the topper in her class, whereas Sasha was in the bottom three."
