Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.

The mice were chased by the cat.

Option 1: The cat chased the mice.

Option 2: The cat is chasing the mice.

Option 3: The cat are chased the mice.

Option 4: The cat chases the mice.

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: The cat chased the mice.


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

In the original sentence, the structure is in the passive voice, where the mice are the recipients of the action and the cat is the doer of the action. To convert it to active voice, we need to identify the doer of the action (the cat) and rearrange the sentence accordingly.

The active voice sentence in the case of the simple past tense follows the structure: subject + past form of the verb + object.

This structure places the cat as the subject, performing the action of chasing the mice, resulting in an active voice construction.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The cat chased the mice.

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank no. 1.

Option 1: lull

Option 2: blast

Option 3: silence

Option 4: blackout

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: silence


Solution : The correct option is the third option.

Silence fits contextually, indicating that the loud, echoing crack disrupted the calm or quietness of the surroundings, much like a gunshot wound. The passage sets up a contrast between the quietness or calmness ('silence') of the surroundings and the sudden disruption caused by the loud, echoing crack.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Lull refers to a temporary interval of quietness or calm.
  • A blast denotes a sudden, loud sound.
  • A blackout refers to a loss of electricity or consciousness.

Therefore, the correct answer is silence.

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank No. 4.

Option 1: heart

Option 2: china

Option 3: atrocity

Option 4: tyre

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: china


Solution : The correct option is the second option.

China refers to fine porcelain or ceramic ware that is typically fragile and easily breakable. Given the context of a loud noise followed by breaking sounds, "china" fits well, implying that something fragile like a piece of ceramic or porcelain was broken.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Heart: The organ that pumps blood in the body.
  • Atrocity: A brutal or cruel act.
  • Tyre: The rubber covering the wheel of a vehicle.

Therefore, the correct answer is china.

Option 3: VZU

Option 4: VZV

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: VZU


Solution : Given:
CAT : FFA :: ANT : DSA :: SUN : ?

And, ANT : DSA→A + 3 = D; N + 5 = S; T + 7 = A
Similarly, for SUN→S + 3 = V; U + 5 = Z; N + 7 = U
