Sir,, Please clear
14th nhi samajh aaya..
Agar IS hota– Is able correct hota
but After has–ability ho jayega
Scored 11.25/15
3 quest wrong ho gye
Bad show 9 correct 6 wrong…
Agree.
It's 13.75/15, i.e. , 14 correct. I failed to understand your (answer)option about Q. No. 14. May I ask what's your logic?
There must be "IS" after Friends and before Able in Q. No- 14, if the answer option has to be [A], as per my little knowledge. Besides this, it may be a slip of hand in typing.
12.5
5 should be d ….
14 should be c
Confused with 5
But14 sure b … c
exactly 14th is something that even i feel is wrong …. please correct
can u explain 11th
Is able,competent and brave … correct way Or
Has ability,competence and bravery
yup…..ur absolutely right
For the 4rth – Conjunction "That" isn't used before any question words. So, "That" is inappropriate here before the word "How". For the 11th, Verb comes before the subject in the structure of a sentence which starts with Negative Adverbs/Conjunctions. (Like Seldom, Never, Hardly, Scarcely and so on.) Thus it shall be (B) i.e. "Hardly Had Ram Opened The Question Paper…". And if you notice, the first question is same as 11th is.
Explain qno. 11. If anyone could? Why had come before ram?
In q no. 8 , everyone considered as singular?
In q no. 7 , I guess C is correct. None in place of neither.
scored 13/15
@14— I think Vikrant is right.
14 ka c hoga…has ke bad direct verd nahi use hota hain……ability hoga……
5 ka ans c kese ??
When an "Adjective" is compared with using Than/As, then the Pronoun is written in Subjective case. Moreover, any Verb or any degree of Adjective must be the same when they are joined with the word "And". By going this, Option "C", aptly, suits the question.
yes I also have the same doubt,. its shud be C instead of A.
in q 5 i think it will be he is braver and more talented than us or we can put it as he is braver and more talented than we are
