## Question

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)

## 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

## Answer

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).
