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.

Question : Comprehension: Read the given passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The world of social media is a strange and wondrous place. It's a world where you can connect with people from all over the globe, share your thoughts and opinions, and maybe even go viral if you're lucky. But let's be real, it's also a world filled with endless cat videos, oversharing, and drama. One of the most interesting things about social media is the way it's changed the way we communicate. We've gone from long, thoughtful emails to quick, abbreviated messages with emojis and acronyms. And don't even get me started on the whole hashtag phenomenon. It's like we're all speaking a different language now. But there are also some downsides to this constant connection. It's easy to get sucked into the world of social media and forget about the real world around us. We're so busy scrolling through our feeds that we forget to enjoy the little moments in life. And let's not forget about the pressure to present the perfect life online. It's like we're all in a competition to see who can be the most popular, the most successful, the most enviable. Despite all of this, I have to admit, I'm still a fan of social media. It's a great way to stay connected with friends and family, and I've even made some new friends through various online communities. Plus, let's face it, sometimes you just need a good laugh at a ridiculous meme. Question: Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for this passage?
Option 1: The Joys and Sorrows of Social Media
Option 2: The Benefits of Social Media
Option 3: The Dark Side of Social Media
Option 4: Mastering the Art of Social Media
Correct Answer: The Joys and Sorrows of Social Media
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The title, "The Joys and Sorrows of Social Media." reflects the dual nature of social media as discussed in the passage. It captures the positive aspects, such as connecting with people globally, sharing thoughts, and the potential for going viral, as well as the downsides, like the overwhelming nature of constant connection, the pressure to present a perfect online life, and the distraction from real-world moments.
Therefore, the appropriate title of the passage is: "The Joys and Sorrows of Social Media."
Question : Choose the sentence that contains an error.
Option 1: I need to buy an new iPhone.
Option 2: The cat sat on the windowsill.
Option 3: She is the best singer in the choir.
Option 4: He is an artist who paints landscapes.
Correct Answer: I need to buy an new iPhone.
The indefinite article an is used before a noun that is general or when its identity is not known and if it begins with a vowel sound. In the given sentence, the article an should be replaced with "a", as the word "new" begins with a consonant sound.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: I need to buy a new iPhone.
Question : The following sentence has been divided into parts. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don't find any errors, mark 'No error' as your answer. We will / have been know the result / of the CAT exam by next week.
Option 1: of the CAT exam by next week
Option 2: We will
Option 3: have been know the result
Option 4: No error
Correct Answer: have been know the result
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Explanation: The error lies in the use of the phrase "have been know". The correct form should be "have known" when expressing future perfect tense. The structure is "will have known", indicating that the action of knowing the result will be completed in the future before a specified time (next week). The verb "know" should be in its past participle form "known" in this context.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: We will have known the result of the CAT exam by next week.
