Why this practice page is useful

Clear practice converting direct dialogue into indirect narration and active into passive voice removes one of the most common sources of lost marks at this level.
Specific prompts on Hornbill and Snapshots push students to explain character motivations and central themes, not just summarize plot.
Focused units on relative pronouns, conjunctions, and prepositions catch the small grammar slips that quietly cost marks on written answers.

Answer key & quick explanations

Short answers for the sample questions above. Use this to self-check before generating a fresh AI-built mock test.

1. Read the line: 'Her face was a criss-cross of wrinkles running from everywhere to everywhere.' Which narrative portrait from Hornbill is described here?
the narrator's grandmother in 'The Portrait of a Lady'
This line is from Khushwant Singh's 'The Portrait of a Lady', describing the ancient, serene, and deeply wrinkled face of his beloved grandmother.
2. What principal reason did the grandmother have for objecting to the narrator's English school education in the city?
The lack of religious instruction and the teaching of music and western science instead.
She was distressed because the city school did not teach scriptures or about God, and she believed music was meant for beggars and harlots, not gentlefolk.
3. In 'The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse', which tribe did Aram and Mourad belong to?
Garoghlanian tribe
They belonged to the Garoghlanian tribe, famous for its honesty, integrity, and poverty, establishing the moral background of the story.
4. What core personality trait of Mourad is highlighted by his relationship with animals?
A wild, eccentric, and empathetic bond with animals and birds.
Mourad is described as having 'a way' with animals; he nurtures the horse and heals a young robin, showing a gentle, understanding heart beneath his wild exterior.
5. Identify the abstract noun in this sentence: 'His profound dedication to scientific investigation earned him international recognition.'
dedication (accept recognition, investigation)
Abstract nouns represent quality, state, or concept rather than physical objects. 'Dedication' is the primary abstract state here.
6. Convert this sentence from active voice to passive voice: 'The senior engineers finalized the highway layout standards yesterday.'
The highway layout standards were finalized by the senior engineers yesterday.
In the passive voice, the direct object 'the highway layout standards' becomes the grammatical subject, combined with the past-tense plural auxiliary 'were finalized'.
7. Change this sentence into reported (indirect) speech: 'The manager said, "We will execute the backup processes tomorrow."'
The manager said that they would execute the backup processes the following day.
When reporting statements, pronouns shift ('we' to 'they'), future auxiliaries backshift ('will' to 'would'), and temporal references update ('tomorrow' to 'the following day').
8. Fill in the blank with the correct relative pronoun: 'The candidate ___ credentials we reviewed yesterday has joined the operations group.' (who / whose / whom)
whose
The possessive relative pronoun 'whose' connects the candidate to their credentials, indicating ownership or association logically.
9. Identify the complete prepositional phrase in this sentence: 'In spite of experiencing technical challenges, the team finished the installation.'
In spite of experiencing technical challenges
Prepositional phrases begin with a preposition (including complex prepositions like 'In spite of') and end with its noun or gerund object ('challenges').
10. Fill in the blank with the best subordinating conjunction: 'The tracking system will activate an alarm ___ the security perimeter is crossed.' (unless / as soon as / provided that)
as soon as (accept provided that)
The subordinating conjunction 'as soon as' creates an immediate time connection, explaining that the alarm triggers at the exact moment of crossing.
11. Who is the author of the biographical portrait 'The Portrait of a Lady'?
Khushwant Singh
Khushwant Singh is a prominent Indian author and journalist who wrote this affectionate, moving biographical sketch of his grandmother.
12. Choose the correct homophone to fill the blank: 'The legal department warned that the new regulations might ___ our operations.' (affect / effect)
affect
The verb 'affect' means to produce a change or influence. The noun 'effect' refers to the result of a change.
13. Add the missing punctuation to this quotation: '"Why didn't you complete the structural check yesterday" asked the inspector.'
A question mark inside the quotation marks: ("Why didn't you complete the structural check yesterday?" asked the inspector.)
Because the quoted string is a direct question beginning with 'Why', a question mark is required inside the closing quotation marks.
14. What is the antonym (opposite) of the word: 'Benevolent'?
malevolent (or hostile/cruel)
The prefix 'bene-' means well, and its opposite is 'male-' (ill or bad). Thus, 'malevolent' is the most accurate antonym.
15. What is the antonym (opposite) of the word: 'Ambiguous'?
clear (or precise/unambiguous)
The word 'ambiguous' refers to something unclear or open to multiple interpretations, so its exact opposite is 'clear' or 'precise'.
16. Choose the correct collective noun to fill the blank: 'A ___ of legal advisors was appointed to investigate the claims.' (panel / pack / flock / crew)
panel
A selected group of professionals gathered of inspect, evaluate, or handle a particular topic is conventionally called a 'panel'.
17. Identify the participle adjective in this sentence: 'The damaged valve caused a sudden decline in fluid pressure.'
damaged
A participle adjective is a verb form behaving as an adjective. Here, the past participle 'damaged' modifies the noun 'valve'.
18. Choose the correct modal verb showing a logical deduction based on clear physical evidence: 'The indicator is flashing red, so the core ___ be overheating.' (must / should / may)
must
The modal verb 'must' is used for stating strong, clear logical deductions that are built on observed physical facts.
19. Choose the correct verb form: 'Neither the department supervisor nor the field technicians ___ available for comment yesterday.' (was / were)
were
When subjects are joined by 'neither... nor', the verb must agree with the nearer subject. Since 'technicians' is plural, the plural verb 'were' is correct.
20. Change this sentence into past perfect tense: 'The digital sensor records the temperature variations.'
The digital sensor had recorded the temperature variations.
The past perfect tense is formed by combining the auxiliary 'had' with the past participle of the main verb ('recorded').
21. Fill in the blank with the correct preposition: 'The operations team worked continuously ___ morning until late night.' (from / since / during)
from
The preposition 'from' pairs naturally with 'until' to show a clear start and end point of a time range.
22. Add the correct suffix to convert the verb 'Formulate' into a noun representing a structured plan.
tion (formulation)
We drop the final silent 'e' and apply the nominal suffix '-ation' to transform 'formulate' into the noun 'formulation'.
23. Which word is spelled correctly?: Maintenance / Maintainance / Maintenence
Maintenance
A common spelling trap; 'maintenance' drops the 'ai' from the root verb 'maintain'. The correct spelling is 'maintenance'.
24. Find the odd word out: Softly, Steadily, Honest, Quickly.
Honest (it is an adjective, others are adverbs)
'Softly', 'Steadily', and 'Quickly' are all adverbs describing how an action is performed, while 'Honest' is an adjective describing a quality of a person.
25. Find the odd word out: Bracket, Dash, Chapter, Quotation mark.
Chapter (it is a structural section of a book, others are punctuation marks)
'Bracket', 'Dash', and 'Quotation mark' are all punctuation marks used within or around text, while a 'Chapter' is a larger structural division of a book.
26. What do we call a person who studies ancient civilizations by excavating physical remains and ruins?
archaeologist
An archaeologist is a scientist who excavates, retrieves, and studies physical artifacts and ruins to reconstruct historical periods.
27. What do we call the introductory chapter of a formal book or play?
prologue (accept preface)
A prologue is an introductory section or scene that sets the narrative background and prepares readers for the main text.
28. Complete the analogy logically: 'Anchor is to ship as brake is to ___.'
vehicle (or car/bicycle)
This comparison relies on stabilization: an anchor stops a ship and keeps it secure, just as a brake stabilizes and stops a moving vehicle.
29. Identify the coordinating conjunction in this sentence: 'The equipment passed the physical tests, yet it failed the acoustic evaluation.'
yet
The word 'yet' is one of the seven coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) that link two independent clauses to highlight a direct contrast.
30. Choose the correct word: 'The regional municipal (council / counsel) met to discuss environmental measures.'
council
A 'council' refers to a formal administrative or deliberative assembly of people. 'Counsel' refers to legal advice or a legal advisor.
