In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Fill in the blanks with the help of the alternatives given. Select the most appropriate option for each number.

Thousands crowded grocery stores,vegetable shops and petrol pumps to stock up, many ignoring safety norms.
Which of these should be filled at (2) as per the context of the passage?
resulted
suffered
convulsed
agitating
The correct option is 3, i.e. convulsed
The passage is about Tamil Nadu's government's order in reference to lockdown. It deals with upcoming threats which are likely to surface if restrictions are lifted.
• Let us look at the usage of the words given in the options:
• Suffered will be grammatically incorrect. We could write make these cities suffered but only suffer in the blank is incorrect.
• Agitating in continuous form is incorrect.
• The use of result with the preposition with is absurd.
• Convulsed means suffer violently. The sentence implies that the cities were shaken with panic.
The other three options do not fit contextually and grammatically.
Hence, convulsed is correct.
Question 2:
Identify the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment. If no substitution is required, select No substitution.
No sooner was his name called out when he was gone onto the stage to receive the award.
No substitution
but he went
than he went
and he was going
The correct answer is option 2) i.e. than he went.
• No sooner takes 'than' with it.
• 'he was gone' is also wrong here and it will be replaced by 'he went'. in
So, the sentence after substitution will be: No sooner was his name called out than he went onto the stage to receive the award.

Why was you friend refused book to you?
We need to follow these instructions while changing the voice of an interrogative sentence.
• In the Passive Voice of Interrogative sentences, we start the sentences with the helping verb that goes with the object.
• Now interchange the places and the forms of subject and object; don't forget to add 'by' before agent
• If we want to make an interrogative sentence of 'WH Family' we add the 'Wh word' before the interrogative form of the sentence.
• This rule is only applicable to 'why, how, when, be where, and what'.
• As the interrogative sentence is in the simple past tense and it is in the active voice it will change according to the following rule:
• Simple Past - Subject+ v2+ object (Active)
Object +was/were + V3+ by+ subject (Passive)
• Active- To+ V1 Passive- To+ be+ V3
• Example-Active- I have to do homework
Passive- The homework has to be done by me
At last line up the remaining part.
The correct answer is Why was the book refused to be given to you by your friend?

Question 10:
Choose the most appropriate option to change the narration (direct/indirect) of the given sentence.
Mary said, "I have to be there by 10 am tomorrow."
Mary is telling me that she has to be there by 10 am tomorrow
Mary says to me that she has to be there by 10 am
Mary told me that she had to be there by 10 am the next day.
Mary tells me she has to be there by 10 am tomorrow
The correct answer is option 3.
The speaker is informing something i.e told will be used. Tomorrow will be changed to the next day in indirect speech. The first person pronoun will be changed to the third person i.e. she.
Also, the past participle form of the verb will be used. So option 3 is correct.
