Hello aspirant,

Regarding CAT admission, a personal interview is a one-on-one, in-person conversation between an interviewee and a team of staff known as the interviewer. One important instrument that colleges employ to assess applicants' ability is the CAT Personal Interview. During a face-to-face interview, the interviewer or panel closely observes not just the participants' spoken comments but also their indicated behaviour.

Question :  Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

Who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger? Well, if size has anything to do with the matter, the tiger would win. That's because tigers are the largest of all cat species. They grow up to eleven feet long and weigh as much as 670 lbs This makes tigers the third largest land carnivore. The only larger land carnivores are polar bears and brown bears respectively. Tigers are not only large, but they are also fast. They can sprint as fast as 40 miles per hour for short distances and leap as far as 30 feet horizontally. This makes for an extremely dangerous pounce. You might not think that such large, fast, and ferocious creatures need help to survive, but they do. The tiger is an endangered species.

Despite all of the tiger's strengths, the future of the species is uncertain. Tigers face a very high risk of extinction. It is estimated that at the start of the 20th century, there were over 100,000 tigers living in the wild. By the turn of the century, the number of tigers outside of captivity dwindled to just over 3,000. Interestingly, the most serious threats that tigers face come from a much smaller species, one with an average weight of around 140lbs That species is Homo sapiens, better known as humans. Humans threaten tigers in primarily two ways: hunting and destroying habitat.
Tigers are hunted for many reasons. People have long valued the famous striped skins. Though trading tiger skins is now illegal in most parts of the world, tiger pelts are worth around 10,000 on the black-market. Though the fur would be incentive enough for most poachers, other parts of the tiger can also fetch a pretty penny. Some people in China and other Asian cultures believe that various tiger parts have healing properties. Traditional Chinese medicine calls for the use of tiger bones, amongst other parts, in some prescriptions.

Question : Select the correct passive form of the given sentence.

The cat ate all the pastries.

Option 1: All the pastries is eaten by the cat.

Option 2: All the pastries were eaten by the cat.

Option 3: All the pastries had been eaten by the cat.

Option 4: All the pastries are eaten by the cat.

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: All the pastries were eaten by the cat.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation:

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive voice in the case of the simple past tense is: object + were + past participle of the main verb + by + followed by the agent of the action.

So, the correct sentence is: All the pastries were eaten by the cat.
