HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 7
What would be the indirect speech form of the sentence: "She said, 'I will have completed the task by evening'"?
Detailed Solution for HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 7
In indirect speech, the future perfect tense "will have completed" changes to "would have completed." Therefore, the correct transformation is "She said that she would have completed the task by evening."
HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 8

Identify the correct indirect speech form of: "She said, 'I can swim across the river.'"

Detailed Solution for HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 8

1. She said that she could swim across the river.

In indirect speech, the present tense "can" changes to "could" to reflect the past tense of the reporting verb "said." The word "that" is commonly used to introduce the reported speech, though it can sometimes be omitted.

2. She said that she could swim across that river.

The word "that" should not be used in this context as it changes the meaning. The phrase "across that river" is less natural and specific compared to "across the river."

3. She said that she can swim across that river.

This option incorrectly retains the present tense "can" instead of changing it to "could" to reflect the past tense of the reporting verb "said."

4. She said that she can swim across the river.

This option incorrectly retains the present tense "can" instead of changing it to "could," and it does not use "that," which is often used in indirect speech to clarify the reported statement.

The correct indirect speech form should reflect the change in tense and preserve the clarity of the original statement. Thus, option 1 is the accurate choice.

 

HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 9

Identify the correct transformation of the direct sentence: "She said, 'I had never seen such a beautiful sunset before.'" into indirect speech.

Detailed Solution for HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 9

In transforming the given sentence into indirect speech, 'had never seen' remains 'had never seen' to maintain the past perfect tense. Hence, the correct indirect speech is "She said that she had never seen such a beautiful sunset before.."

HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 10

Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank. You have to fill the blank with one of the words given as options in order to make the sentence contextually and grammatically correct.

During the pandemic, many insured found that a / an _______________ portion of their hospital bills fell outside the purview of insurance.

Detailed Solution for HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 10

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:

Crucially (adverb): with decisive or vital importance.

Significant (adjective): sufficiently great or important to be worthy of attention.

Petty (adjective): of little importance.

The sentence implies that a large portion of the hospital bills was out of insurance coverage, thus ‘petty’ is contradictory. The use of ‘crucially’ is grammatically inapt as we need an adjective to qualify noun ‘portion’. The use of ‘obvious’ is contextually weak. Only ‘significant’ fits the blank grammatically and contextually.

Hence, option C is correct.

HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 11

Directions: A sentence is given here with a blank and you need to fill the blank choosing the word/words given below. If all the words given can fill the blank appropriately, choose ‘All are correct’ as your answer.

Russian hardware was airlifted in with the aim of reinforcing _______________ in the south and the initial ambition was to advance along the southern coast of Ukraine.

I. Troop

II. Troupe

III. Fleet

Detailed Solution for HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 11

Let us first learn the meanings of the given words:

Troop (noun): a group of soldiers or scouts.

Troupe (noun): a group of performers.

Fleet (noun): a group of ships sailing together, engaged in the same activity, or under the same ownership.

After reading the meanings, we can conclude that only ‘troop’ is the perfect contextual fit.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 12

Directions: In the following question, a sentence is given with a blank. You have to fill the blank with one of the words given as options in order to make the sentence contextually and grammatically correct.

Human monkey pox was first identified in 1970 and named after the disease caused by the virus was _______________ in captive monkeys more than a decade before.

Detailed Solution for HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 12

The segment is in passive voice, thus only a verb in third form is eligible for the blank. Among all the given options, only ‘discovered’ fits the blank as the virus already existed in the monkeys but was found in 1970.

Hence, option D is correct.

HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 13

Directions: A sentence is given here with a blank and you need to fill the blank choosing the word/words given below. If all the words given can fill the blank appropriately, choose ‘All are correct’ as your answer.

Enlightened and educated people usually have more to say than just some unspecific ____________.

I. Rant

II. Howling

III. Criticising

Detailed Solution for HP Police Constable Mock Test - 2 - Question 13

The blank requires a noun as it is preceded by the adjective ‘unspecific’. Among the given words, both ‘howling’ and ‘criticising’ can be eliminated as both are verbs in the present participle form. ‘Enlightened and educated people usually have more to say’ holds the context of the sentence. So, the word ‘rant’ which means ‘an argument that is fuelled by passion, not shaped by facts’ fits the blank well and makes it logically valid also.

This eliminates all other options.

Meanings of the given words:

Rant (noun): a spell of ranting; a tirade.

Howling (verb): weep and cry out loudly.

Criticising (verb): indicate the faults of (someone or something) in a disapproving way.

So, the correct option is A.
