The word 'squalid' means 'filthy; inappropriate.'

Filthy = dirty

Appropriate = suitable

Stark= severe or bare in appearance or outline.

Surly= ill tempered

Option 2 is thus the correct answer.

The word 'knotty' means 'difficult.' Option 3 is thus the correct answer. 'Taunted' means 'mocked. 'The word 'prejudiced' means 'biased' and the word 'compelling' means 'captivating.'

The correct answer is Q.

• The correction we need to do is to write 'cattles' as 'cattle'.

• The word cattle is always a plural noun and can never be written as cattles to make it a plural noun.

• "a herd of cattle" is a collective noun and a collective noun takes a singular verb with it.

• Therefore the correct sentence is- A herd of cattle was grazing in our field in the morning.

The correct answer is option 2.

The mother is using a commanding tone. So told is most appropriate. The sentence is in the simple present tense. So, option 2 is correct.

Throw tantrums is an idiom which means "To have an outburst of childish or unreasonable anger, frustration, or ill temper."

• The correct answer is option 3.

• While changing a sentence from direct form to indirect form 'said to' is changed into 'told.

• If the sentence in reported speech is present tense, it is changed into the past tense.

• First person in the reported speech(my) is changed

according to the subject(I) of the reporting speech.

• Out of given alternatives, all these rules are followed only in option 3.

• Therefore, the indirect form of the given sentence is

'I told Taru that the tyre of my car was punctured.

The given sentence is written in Present Indefinite tense.

It is an imperative sentence and a negative sentence stating an order.

The object of the Active voice (your grandmother) is changed into the Subject of the passive voice.

Therefore,The construction of the Passive voice imperative sentence stating an order will be:

Let +Subject +not +be + verb3.

Let your grandmother not be disturbed.

The sentence is written in Active voice (Subject + verb + object) and it should be changed into Passive voice.

Thus in the Passive voice, the subject of the Active voice (She) is changed into the object of the Passive voice.

Similarly, the Object of the Active voice (A book) is changed into the Subject (subject1) of the Passive voice.

In the case of 'Present Indefinite tense' when 'modal verb is used: ['can, could, may, might,shall, will,should, would etc are the examples of modal verbs]

The construction of the Active voice here is:

She          can          write       a book    on her last trip.

Subject + modal + verb1 + Object

The construction of the Passive voice will be:

A book   can          be    written    by her    on her last trip.

Subject1 + modal +be+Verb3+   by+ agent

So, option 2 is the answer.

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. hoard

Hoard: Refers to stocking or storing something that is scant The sentence refers to the government warning traders to not do something to the onions.

The onions can't be 'grossed', they cannot be 'bulked' and they cannot be 'combined'. They can be 'hoarded'.

Thus, the correct answer is option 3.
