S8.Ans(c)
Sol. The correct answer is option c.
The given sentence is of active voice.
The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.
In the given sentence, the subject is `Sheetal’ & the subject performed some
action (Misplaced the wallet of Mohan)
Now we have to convert it into passive voice.
Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does
nothing, but allows something to be done.
In the passive form, the object of the verb in Active voice becomes the subject of the
verb in the Passive voice. ‘By’ is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the
object.
The sentence thus formed is- Mohan’s wallet might have been misplaced by Sheetal in their rush.
S9.Ans.(a)

D – Sentence C should be followed by sentence D as it talks about searching for workers (for digging well which sentence has stated) without pay.
A – It states that he didn’t find anyone but he was not ready to stop. Since, the sentence D talks about searching for workers & sentence A talks about the same (that he didn’t get anyone), DA forms the pair.
B – It concludes by stating that he continued his search for workers till noon.
