Q1MCQ1 markEasyWe ____ our friend's birthday and we ____ how to make it up to him.Think it through. Then check your answer.Question
We ____ our friend's birthday and we ____ how to make it up to him.Correct answer
(C) completely forgot --- just don't know
Turn this into a strength.Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.Step-by-step solution
The sentence requires two verbs to complete the thought. The first blank needs a past tense verb related to forgetting, and the second blank needs a verb phrase indicating a lack of knowledge on how to compensate. Let's analyze the options:(A) "completely forgot --- don't just know": "don't just know" is present tense, which doesn't fit the context of a past event (forgetting a birthday).
(B) "forgot completely --- don't just know": Similar to (A), "don't just know" is present tense.
(C) "completely forgot --- just don't know": This option uses "completely forgot" for the first blank, which is grammatically correct for a past event. For the second blank, "just don't know" is also grammatically correct and fits the meaning of not knowing how to make amends.
(D) "forgot completely --- just don't know": Similar to (B), "just don't know" is present tense.Upon re-evaluating the options, there seems to be a typo in the provided options (B), (C), and (D) in the OCR, where they all appear to be "don't just know" or "just don't know". Assuming the intent was to have a past tense for the second part as well, or a present tense that expresses a current state of not knowing how to fix a past mistake, let's re-examine the common phrasing. The phrase "just don't know" can be used to express a current state of uncertainty about how to proceed after a past event. Therefore, "completely forgot" (past tense) and "just don't know" (present tense, expressing current uncertainty) can work together.Let's assume the options are intended to be distinct and the provided OCR for (C) is the correct one. The structure "We completely forgot our friend's birthday and we just don't know how to make it up to him" is grammatically sound and conveys the intended meaning. The first part describes a past action (forgetting), and the second part describes a current state of not knowing how to rectify it.The final answer is2

Choose the statement where underlined word is used correctly.Correct answer
(C) All <u personnel</u are being given the day off.
Turn this into a strength.Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.Step-by-step solution
The word "personnel" refers to the people employed in an organization or service. Let's examine each option:(A) "The industrialist had a personnel jet." This is incorrect. A jet belonging to a person would be a "personal" jet, not a "personnel" jet.
(B) "I write my experience in my personnel diary." This is incorrect. A diary for one's own use is a "personal" diary, not a "personnel" diary.
(C) "All personnel are being given the day off." This is correct. "Personnel" here refers to all the employees, and it is used correctly in this context.
(D) "Being religious is a personnel aspect." This is incorrect. A characteristic of an individual is a "personal" aspect, not a "personnel" aspect.Therefore, option (C) uses the word "personnel" correctly.The final answer is3

Turn this into a strength.Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.Step-by-step solution
Analysis of the options:
(A) This sentence is grammatically correct and uses appropriate vocabulary.
(B) "Information" is an uncountable noun. Therefore, it should be "there was no needed information" instead of "there were no needed information".
(C) "Real" is an adjective. To modify the adjective "useful", the adverb "really" should be used ("not really useful").
(D) The construction "would not had been" is grammatically incorrect. The correct modal perfect form is "would not have been".Therefore, option (A) is the most suitable sentence.7

(C) P-1, Q-2, R-3, S-3
Turn this into a strength.Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.Step-by-step solution
The matching is based on the operating principles of electrical instruments:- P. Permanent magnet moving coil (PMMC): These instruments respond to the average value of current. In AC, the average value is zero, so they are used for DC Only (P-1).
- Q. Moving iron (MI) connected through current transformer (CT): While MI instruments can measure both AC and DC, current transformers (CTs) operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction, which requires a time-varying flux. Thus, CTs do not work on DC, making the combination suitable for AC Only (Q-2).
- R. Rectifier instruments: These convert AC to DC to be measured by a PMMC. They can be used for both AC and DC measurements (R-3).
- S. Electrodynamometer: These instruments use the interaction of magnetic fields from two coils. Since the current in both coils reverses simultaneously in AC, the torque remains unidirectional. They are used for both AC and DC (S-3).
