Jim said, "I work here every day."a)Jim said that he worked ...
Explanation:

The given sentence is reported speech, where Jim is stating something that he said in the past. We need to convert the reported speech into indirect speech by changing the verb tense and pronouns accordingly.

Let's analyze each option:



A: Jim said that he worked here yesterday.
- This option changes the meaning of the original sentence as it specifies that Jim only worked there yesterday, not every day. Therefore, it is incorrect.
B: Jim said that he worked there every day.
- This option correctly changes the pronoun "here" to "there" as it is reported speech. Additionally, it maintains the correct verb tense by using "worked" instead of "work." So, this is the correct answer.
C: Jim said that he worked here every day.
- This option maintains the correct verb tense but incorrectly keeps the pronoun "here" instead of changing it to "there." Therefore, it is incorrect.
D: Jim said that he worked every day.
- This option removes the location reference "here" from the original sentence. Since the original sentence mentioned "here," it should be included in the reported speech as well. So, this option is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: Jim said that he worked there every day.

Read the story given below and answer the following question.Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Cinderella. She lived with her wicked stepmother and two stepsisters. They treated Cinderella very badly. One day, they were invited for a grand ball in the kings palace. But Cinderellas stepmother would not let her go. Cinderella was made to sew new party gowns for her stepmother and stepsisters, and curl their hair. They then went to the ball, leaving Cinderella alone at home. Cinderella felt very sad and began to cry. Suddenly, a fairy godmother appeared and said, "Dont cry, Cinderella! I will send you to the ball!" But Cinderella was sad. She said, "I dont have a gown to wear for the ball!" The fairy godmother waved her magic wand and changed Cinderellas old clothes into a beautiful new gown! The fairy godmother then touched Cinderellas feet with the magic wand. And lo! She had beautiful glass slippers! "How will I go to the grand ball?" asked Cinderella. The fairy godmother found six mice playing near a pumpkin, in the kitchen. She touched them with her magic wand and the mice became four shiny black horses and two coachmen and the pumpkin turned into a golden coach. Cinderella was overjoyed and set off for the ball in the coach drawn by the six black horses. Before leaving, the fairy godmother said, "Cinderella, this magic will only last until midnight! You must reach home by then!" When Cinderella entered the palace, everybody was struck by her beauty. Nobody, not even Cinderellas stepmother or stepsisters, knew who she really was in her pretty clothes and shoes. The handsome prince also saw her and fell in love with Cinderella. He went to her and asked, "Do you want to dance?" And Cinderella said, "Yes!" The prince danced with her all night and nobody recognized the beautiful dancer. Cinderella was so happy dancing with the prince that she almost forgot what the fairy godmother had said. At the last moment. Cinderella remembered her fairy godmothers words and she rushed to go home. "Oh! I must go!" she cried and ran out of the palace. One of her glass slippers came off but Cinderella did not turn back for it. She reached home just as the clock struck twelve. Her coach turned back into a pumpkin, the horses into mice and her fine ball gown into rags. Her stepmother and stepsisters reached home shortly after that. They were talking about the beautiful lady who had been dancing with the prince. The prince had fallen in love with Cinderella and wanted to find out who the beautiful girl was, but he did not even know her name. He found the glass slipper that had come off Cinderellas foot as she ran home. The prince said, "I will find her. The lady whose foot fits this slipper will be the one I marry!" The next day, the prince and his servants took the glass slipper and went to all the houses in the kingdom. They wanted to find the lady whose feet would fit in the slipper. All the women in the kingdom tried the slipper but it would not fit any of them. Cinderellas stepsisters also tried on the little glass slipper. They tried to squeeze their feet and push hard into the slipper, but the servant was afraid the slipper would break. Cinderellas stepmother would not let her try the slipper on, but the prince saw her and said, "Let her also try on the slipper!" The slipper fit her perfectly. The prince recognized her from the ball. He married Cinderella and together they lived happily ever after.Q. What is the name of the beautiful girl in the story?

Passage – 2King Akbar was very fond of Birbal. This made a certain courtier very jealous. Now this courtier always wanted to be chief minister, but this was not possible as Birbal filled that position. One day Akbar praised Birbal in front of the courtier. This made the courtier very angry and he said that the king praised Birbal unjustly and if Birbal could answer three of his questions, he would accept the fact that Birbal was intelligent. Akbar always wanting to test Birbal’s wit readily agreed. The three questions were 1. How many stars are there in the sky? 2. Where is the centre of the Earth? 3. How many men and how many women are there in the world? Immediately Akbar asked Birbal the three questions and informed him that if he could not answer them, he would have to resign as chief minister. To answer the first question, Birbal brought a hairy sheep and said, There are as many stars in the sky as there is hair on the sheep’s body. My friend the courtier is welcome to count them if he likes. To answer the second question, Birbal drew a couple of lines on the floor and bore an iron rod in it and said, this is the centre of the Earth, the courtier may measure it himself if he has any doubts. In answer to the third question, Birbal said, Counting the exact number of men and women in the world would be a problem as there are some specimens like our courtier friend here who cannot easily be classified as either. Therefore if all people like him are killed, then and only then can one count the exact number.Choose the most appropriate synonym for the underlined word from the options listed belowQ. Akbar told Birbal that he would have to resign if he fails to answer correctly.
