BITSAT English Proficiency Test - 2 - Question 3

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the question that follows.

Progress in life depends a good deal on crossing one threshold after another. Some time ago, a man watched his little nephew trying to write his name. It was hard work, very hard work. The little boy had arrived at an effort threshold. Today, he writes his name with comparative ease. No new threshold confronts him. This is the way with all. Conquer one difficulty, a new difficulty appears or should appear. Some people make the mistake of steering clear of thresholds. They avoid anything that requires genuine thinking and use of energy. They prefer to stay in a rut where thresholds are not met. Probably they have been at their job a number of years; things are easy for them. They make no effort to seek out new obstacles to overcome. Real progress stops under such circumstances.
Some middle-aged and elderly people greatly enrich their lives by continuing to cross thresholds. One man went into an entirely new business when he was past middle-age and made a success of it. De Morgan did not start to write novels until he was past sixty. Psychologists have discovered that man can continue to learn throughout the life and it is undoubtedly better to try and fail than not to try at all. Here, one can be placed in the category of the Swiss mountaineer of whom it was said that he died climbing. When a new difficulty rises to obstruct your path, do not complain. Accept the challenge. Determine to cross this threshold as you have crossed numerous other thresholds in your past life. In the world of the poet, do not rest. Strive to pass from dream to grander dream.

Q. Switch on the cooler.

Detailed Solution for BITSAT English Proficiency Test - 2 - Question 8

In grammar, there are two ways of expressing a subject, active voice and passive voice. Active voice describes the action of the subject as performed by him/her on object. Passive voice, on the other hand, is when the subject of a sentence is acted upon by a verb. 
Here, the given sentence is an imperative sentence because it starts with a verb. An imperative sentence is a type of sentence that shows advice or instructions or that expresses a request or command.
Hence, the structure to change a sentence with Order/Command into Passive Voice is: Let + subject + be + past participle
‘Let the cooler be switched on’ is the correct answer.

BITSAT English Proficiency Test - 2 - Question 9

Choose the correct preposition among the given options to be inserted into the sentence.

It digs a home ___ the side of a hill.

Detailed Solution for BITSAT English Proficiency Test - 2 - Question 9

We use 'into' to indicate movement toward the inside of a place,for eg, into the lake,into the garage,etc.Therefore 'into' is the correct option here.

BITSAT English Proficiency Test - 2 - Question 10

Change the sentence into passive voice:

They may win the battle.

Detailed Solution for BITSAT English Proficiency Test - 2 - Question 10

Passive Voice Transformation:


  • Original Sentence: They may win the battle.

  • Passive Voice: The battle may be won by them.

In the passive voice transformation, the subject "They" becomes the agent in the passive construction "by them". The verb "win" changes to "won" in the passive form. The passive voice emphasizes the action of winning the battle rather than the doer of the action.
