Choose correct words (grammar) 2069 Chaitra

Short answer

a. has, b. is, c. for, d. of, e. to be worried, f. being taken, g. pay, h. were, i. to wash, j. singing

Choose the correct words from the brackets: a) The minister, along with his relatives ........... gone to Japan. (has/have) b) Neither of us ........... going to attend the programme. (is/are) c) It is quite warm ........... December. (for, form) d) You alone can relieve me ........... this anxiety. (from, of) e) We have nothing ........... about. (to have worried, to be worried) f) I remember ........... to the Salar Jung Museum by my father. (to be taken, being taken) g) Unless you ........... you will be punished. (don't pay, pay) h) If I ........... you, I would not do it. (be, were) i) She was made ........... cloths. (wash, to wash) j) I heard him ........... Narayan Gopal's song. (singing, sing)

a) has: "along with his relatives" does not change the singular subject "minister". b) is: "Neither of" takes a singular verb. c) for: "quite warm for December" (compared with what is usual); "form" is a different word and does not fit here. d) of: "relieve someone of" a burden. e) to be worried: passive infinitive meaning "nothing that should cause worry". f) being taken: "remember" plus gerund for a past event, in the passive. g) pay: "Unless" already has a negative sense, so the verb stays positive. h) were: unreal condition "If I were you". i) to wash: after the passive of "make", the "to" infinitive is used. j) singing: the participle shows an action in progress ("sing" is also acceptable).
