VIEW SOLUTION WITH EXPLANATION IN ENGLISH
1. Call him at once.
Answer: A
Explanation: Option ‘A’. Option ‘B’ is incorrect as we always use an objective pronoun after the verb LET, HE is a subjective pronoun. Option ‘C’ is incorrect as we do not use the full infinitive (TO + V1) with LET, neither in the active voice nor in the passive voice.
2. Who was reading novels?
Answer: B
Explanation: Option ‘B’. The word BY is followed by the objective case of the noun/pronoun. WHO is the subjective case whereas WHOM the objective. Option ‘C’ is incorrect.
NOTE: In an interrogative sentence beginning with WHO the subject is always WHO itself. In the above sentence NOVELS is the object; therefore NOVELS will become the subject of the passive. As we need a question in the passive also, the helping verb should come before the subject and the main verb after it. So the helping verb WERE will come before NOVELS and the main verb READ after. As WHO is the subject of the active, it will become the object of the passive, the objective case of WHO is WHOM; also the preposition BY precedes the object in the passive, so it will be BY WHOM. As it’s a WH word question in the active, in passive also WH word is needed. Therefore the passive sentence will begin with BY WHOM.
3. The vintage cars hold a special place in the hearts of their owners.
Answer: C
Explanation: Option ‘C’. The object of the given sentence is ‘a special place’, not ‘a special place in the hearts of their owners.’
4. I saw him conducting the rehearsal.
Answer: C
Explanation: Option ‘C’. ‘Verb + Object + Gerund’ is expressed in the passive by ‘Object + Passive Verb + Gerund’; e.g.
They saw him climbing over the fence.
= He was seen climbing over the fence.
5. The members may keep books for three weeks. After that they must return them.
Answer: C
Explanation: Option ‘C’. THEY in the second sentence of the active voice is the pronoun for MEMBERS, which doesn’t need to be mentioned in the passive you can understand easily. THEY used in the second sentence of the passive voice is the subjective form of THEM (pronoun for books), which is a must to use.
6. Prepare yourself for the worst.
Answer: C
7. The librarian said that they were starting a new system because people were not returning books.
Answer: D
Explanation: Option ‘D’. Another passive of this sentence is also possible, see it:
It was said by the librarian that a new system was being started because books were not being returned.
8. You should open the wine about three hours before you use it.
Answer: B
Explanation: Option ‘B’. Here YOU is for every person, so it does not need to be mentioned in the passive.
9. Help others but do not expect anything in return.
Answer: C
Explanation: Option ‘C’. The whole sentence is a piece of advice, so you can’t use the verb FORBID. FORBIDDEN = not permitted by law
10. Previous climbers had cut steps in the ice.
Answer: A
Explanation: Option ‘A’. Note that the object of the verb in the active is ‘steps’, not ‘steps in the ice’. Some candidates are found committing such mistakes. CLIMBERS means MOUNTAINEERS or sort of people.
Hindi translation of the given sentence: पिछले पर्वतारोहियों के चलने के कारण दूसरों के लिए बर्फ में चलने का स्थान बन गया था.
