Q9. Riya has to convert *The boy kicked the ball* into passive voice. Which sentence is correct?

Intermediate
A The ball was kick by the boy.
B The boy was kicked by the ball.
C The ball was kicked by the boy.
D The ball kicked by the boy.
Show the answer

C · The ball was kicked by the boy.

Passive voice needs *be + past participle*: *was kicked*. *Was kick* leaves the verb unchanged, a common mistake.

Q10. A learner memorises *a* before consonant letters and *an* before vowel letters. Which pair of words exposes this rule as wrong?

Intermediate
A *a university* and *an hour*
B *a book* and *an apple*
C *a cat* and *an elephant*
D *a table* and *an orange*
Show the answer

A · *a university* and *an hour*

*University* starts with a consonant sound despite the vowel letter; *hour* starts with a vowel sound despite the consonant letter. Sound, not spelling, decides.

Q11. Why does Unit Test II test Present and Past tense together?

Intermediate
A To check you can switch tenses without mixing forms like *goed*
B Because Future tense is taught in the same unit
C Because Pronouns cannot be tested alone
D Because Articles are revised in Unit Test II
Show the answer

A · To check you can switch tenses without mixing forms like *goed*

Unit Test II pairs Pronouns with Present and Past to check tense consistency and correct irregular forms.

Q12. A student says: *The ball was kick by the boy.* What is the single error?

Intermediate
A The agent should come before the verb
B The subject should be *the boy*
C The verb should be the past participle *kicked*
D The article *the* should be *a*
Show the answer

Passive voice requires *be + past participle*. *Was kick* leaves the verb in base form.

Intermediate
A Adjectives
B Direct and Indirect Speech
C Articles
D Words Often Confused
Show the answer

Q14. Assertion (A): *Hour* takes *an*. Reason (R): Article choice depends on the sound of the first syllable, not the spelling. Which option is correct?

Advanced
A A is true but R is false.
B A is false but R is true.
C Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.
D Both A and R are true, but R does not explain A.
Show the answer

C · Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.

*Hour* has a silent *h*, so it begins with a vowel sound and takes *an*. The sound-based rule is exactly why.

Q15. Which statement about the two English papers is correct?

Advanced
A English - I is grammar-based; English - II asks for theme, character, and inference.
B English - I tests *Attila* and *The Vagabond*.
