The question asks to identify the figure of speech used in the sentence "Life is compared to pathless wood with the word 'like'". To answer this, we need to understand the definitions of the given figures of speech: Metaphor, Personification, Simile, and Hyperbole.

Select the correct Passive forms of the sentence:
"The Manager will give you a ticket".
(a) A ticket will be given to the Manager by you.
(b) A ticket will be given to you by the Manager.
(c) The Manager will be given a ticket by you.
(d) You will be given a ticket by the Manager.
To convert an active voice sentence into passive voice, we need to identify the subject, verb, and object(s). In sentences with two objects (a direct and an indirect object), two passive forms are often possible, with either object becoming the subject of the passive sentence. The general structure for passive voice is: Object + helping verb (be form) + past participle of main verb + by + Subject.
C) (b) and (d) are the correct passive forms. Both "A ticket will be given to you by the Manager" and "You will be given a ticket by the Manager" correctly transform the active sentence into passive voice by making either the direct or indirect object the subject of the passive sentence.
Match the following with correct type of sentence:
| Column - A | Column - B |
| (a) This pen is blue | 1. Interrogative |
| (b) Please help me | 2. Exclamatory |
| (c) How are you? | 3. Declarative |
| (d) How well she dances! | 4. Imperative |
The question asks us to match sentences from Column A with their correct sentence types from Column B. We need to identify the characteristic features of each sentence type (Declarative, Interrogative, Exclamatory, Imperative) and then match them accordingly.
Correct Option: C) 3 4 1 2
The question asks to convert an interrogative sentence into its corresponding assertive (declarative) form. To do this, we need to identify the tense and meaning of the original interrogative sentence and then rephrase it as a statement.
D) She is not changing her dress — This option correctly converts the negative interrogative in the Present Continuous Tense to a negative assertive statement in the same tense.
The task is to transform the given sentence into a negative sentence while retaining its original meaning. The sentence uses the structure "too...to", which implies a negative consequence. To convert this into a negative sentence, we typically use the "so...that...cannot" structure.
Correct Option: B) "He is so shrewd that he cannot be cheated" accurately transforms the original sentence into a negative form while preserving its meaning. The structure "so...that...cannot" correctly conveys the implied negativity of "too...to".
The task is to convert an exclamatory sentence into an assertive sentence. An exclamatory sentence expresses strong emotion or surprise, often using an inverted word order (like "Had she known it earlier"). An assertive sentence, also known as a declarative sentence, simply states a fact or an opinion and usually follows a subject-verb-object structure. The key is to convey the original meaning or emotion (often regret or a wish) in a declarative form.
Correct Option: B) (b) I wish she had known it earlier
The question asks to identify the sentence with a correct infinitive. An infinitive is the base form of a verb, usually preceded by "to" (e.g., "to run", "to eat"). We need to check each option for the correct usage of infinitives or other grammatical structures.
Correct Option: A) (a) is the correct option because the sentence "She is bold enough to take decisions" uses the infinitive "to take" correctly.
The question asks to identify the grammatical form of the underlined phrase "having gained" in the sentence "I heard of his having gained a prize." We need to analyze the structure and function of this phrase within the sentence.
B) Compound Gerund. The phrase "having gained" is a perfect gerund, which is a type of compound gerund. It functions as a noun (object of the preposition "of") and indicates a completed action. The structure "having + past participle" is key to identifying it as a perfect gerund.
