The correct answer is which was lying in the.

• The pronouns that connect a clause or phrase to a noun or a pronoun, is called a relative pronoun.

• The most common relative pronouns are:

•  who, whom, whose, which, that.

Example:

• We don't know the person who donated this money.

• You need to tick the box which says yes.

•  We use 'who' in relative clauses to refer to people, and sometimes to pet animals. (refer to the above example)

• We use 'which' in relative clauses to refer to animals and things, to introduce defining and non- defining relative clauses.

As 'ladder' is a non-living thing, 'which' will be used in the underlined part of the sentence instead of 'who'.

Correct Sentence: The burglar used the ladder which was lying in the courtyard

The correct answer is 'Spoken in'

Key Points

In the underlined part, 'For' preposition is incorrect because it is used for the following things:

• To show reason or cause

•  having as a destination

•  representing something.

•  Affecting or with regard to.

• Hence, none of the usages of 'for' connect with the other statement which is written after the preposition hence this needs to be improved.

• 'In' preposition is correct because it is used to show an enclosed space or a place that is surrounded by boundaries.

• In the given sentence, 'Villages' are the enclosed spaces 2-dimensional spaces hence with 2-D objects always use the preposition 'in'

Let's see an example-

The dog is in the garden. (Garden is the 2-D space.)

So the correct sentence is→ Sele, is a near-extinct language, spoken in just five villages in Nepal, which lie close to Tibet.

Option 4 is the correct solution.

For the sentence given, 'such a long-distance' is the most appropriate option to substitute 'so long-distance'. •

The correct answer is option 2) i.e. will have made.

• The given sentence is in the future perfect tense.

• And in the future perfect tense 'will + have + v₃' is used.

• Hence, will have made is the correct answer here. 

So, the sentence after substitution will be: By next week I

will have made all the reservations for the trip to Europe

The correct answer is talented.

• Let us explore the given options:

• 'Talented' means having a natural aptitude or skill. For something.

• 'Concrete' means specific; definite.

• 'Damaged' means had a detrimental effect on someone.

• 'Faint' means feeling weak and dizzy and close to losing consciousness.

Thus the complete sentence is: Jane Wilkinson was a talented young American actress.

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Ideal

• The correct answer is 'ideal' as it means optimum.

• Meaning of the other words are given below

Correct sentence- 'What is the ideal temperature for storing vaccines?’

The correct answer is 'In case of'.

We use 'in case of' + noun to mean 'if and when something happens'

• Example: In case of breakdown, please press the alarm button and call this number.

Thus the complete sentence is: "In case of bad weather, the trip will be postponed to next week."

The correct answer is wants.

Key Points

• The given sentence is in the simple present tense.

• The second (part) sentence is given in the passive form; in the active voice, it becomes - Her (Anjali) mother is mentoring her. which is simple present tense.

• In the simple present, most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person singular (which ends in - s).

• Hence, wants is the right word to be used.

Correct sentence: 'Like her mother, Anjali also wants to become an entrepreneur. She is being mentored by her mother.'

• In the above given sentence, the correct phrasal verb will be 'Sold out'.

• It is so because 'Sold out' means to sell all of the supply that you have of something.

• For Example - The first issue of the magazine sold out within two days.

• The given talks about the fact that they sold all the t- shirts in first couple of hours which can only be expressed not by sold out.

Therefore, the correct phrasal verb for the blank is 'Sold out.

The question below consists of a set of labeled parts.

Instead of ordering the entire sentence, it is easier to find. connections between one or two parts and then eliminating the options.

The given part of the sentence ends with the adjective

'metaphysical', which means it must be associated with some se corresponding noun.

The next part in the correct order, then, must begin with a noun. Out of the given parts, only A begins with the noun 'notions'. So, A becomes the first part of the correct logical order.

This is only shown by options 2 and 4. Hence, options 1 and 3 are rejected.

Now, looking at C, we notice that it ends with the adjective 'incompatible' which should be followed by 'with' and then, a noun. This is available in the part D. Hence, CD are in order. D ends with 'are' which can logically be followed with part B. The complete order, therefore, becomes ACDB making the sentence to be: Traditional religious notions and rituals that are incompatible with the modern world, are, to him, not worth saving.
