Find the part of the sentence that contains an error: The workshop aims at providing entrepreneurs (1)/ with practical advices (2)/ on scaling operations (3)/ in emerging markets. (4)/ (वाक्य के उस भाग को खोजें जिसमें त्रुटि है: The workshop aims at providing entrepreneurs [1]/ with practical advices [2]/ on scaling operations [3]/ in emerging markets. [4]/)
"Advice" is an uncountable noun and cannot be pluralized as "advices"; part (2) contains the error. ("Advice" एक अगणनीय संज्ञा है और इसे "advices" के रूप में बहुवचन नहीं बनाया जा सकता; भाग [2] में त्रुटि है।)
Change the following from active to passive: They had sent the invitations by courier. (निम्नलिखित को कर्तृवाच्य से कर्मवाच्य में बदलें: They had sent the invitations by courier.)
Past Perfect active ("had sent") converts to Past Perfect passive ("had been sent"). (पूर्ण भूतकाल कर्तृवाच्य ["had sent"] पूर्ण भूतकाल कर्मवाच्य ["had been sent"] में बदल जाता है।)
Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure: The machinery was known to have been operated manually during the testing phase. (नीचे दिए गए वाक्य को कर्मवाच्य संरचना से कर्तृवाच्य संरचना में बदलें: The machinery was known to have been operated manually during the testing phase.)
The active version restores an agent ("someone") as the subject performing the action of operating the machinery. (कर्तृवाच्य संस्करण एक कर्ता ["someone"] को विषय के रूप में पुनर्स्थापित करता है जो मशीनरी को संचालित करने की क्रिया करता है।)
Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence: They discussed the problem in details. (वाक्य के उजागर किए गए भाग को बदलने के लिए सबसे उपयुक्त विकल्प चुनें: They discussed the problem in details.)
"In detail" (singular) is the correct idiomatic phrase, not "in details". ("In detail" [एकवचन] सही मुहावरेदार वाक्यांश है, "in details" नहीं।)
Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence: The book is more better than the previous one. (वाक्य के उजागर किए गए भाग को बदलने के लिए सबसे उपयुक्त विकल्प चुनें: The book is more better than the previous one.)
"More better" is a double comparative error; the correct form is simply "better than". ("More better" एक द्विक तुलनात्मक त्रुटि है; सही रूप केवल "better than" है।)
A sentence is provided in indirect speech. From the given options, choose the one that most accurately conveys the sentence in its corresponding direct speech. The envoy reported that the negotiations were languishing because neither party would concede procedural precedence. (एक वाक्य अप्रत्यक्ष वाणी में दिया गया है। दिए गए विकल्पों में से, वह चुनें जो वाक्य को उसके संगत प्रत्यक्ष वाणी में सबसे सटीक रूप से व्यक्त करता है। The envoy reported that the negotiations were languishing because neither party would concede procedural precedence.)
Converting indirect to direct speech reverts 'were languishing' to 'are languishing' and 'would concede' to 'will concede', matching option C. (अप्रत्यक्ष से प्रत्यक्ष वाणी में बदलने पर 'were languishing' 'are languishing' में और 'would concede' 'will concede' में बदल जाता है, जो विकल्प C से मेल खाता है।)
Read the passage and answer the questions: Identify the correct form of the verb to complete the sentence: "Sleep is not a passive state of rest but an active, meticulously orchestrated biological process involving intricate neural and hormonal __________." (गद्यांश पढ़ें और प्रश्नों का उत्तर दें: वाक्य को पूरा करने के लिए क्रिया का सही रूप पहचानें: "Sleep is not a passive state of rest but an active, meticulously orchestrated biological process involving intricate neural and hormonal __________.")
The sentence requires a noun to follow "neural and hormonal"; "regulation" is the correct noun form. (वाक्य में "neural and hormonal" के बाद एक संज्ञा की आवश्यकता है; "regulation" सही संज्ञा रूप है।)
Read the passage and answer the questions: Choose the correct relative clause connector: "This misalignment can lead to a condition _____ individuals experience chronic fatigue." (गद्यांश पढ़ें और प्रश्नों का उत्तर दें: सही संबंधवाचक उपवाक्य संयोजक चुनें: "This misalignment can lead to a condition _____ individuals experience chronic fatigue.")

Find the part of the sentence that contains an error: Several of the evidences (1)/ presented during the hearing (2)/ were considered circumstantial at best (3)/ and irrelevant at worst. (4)/ (वाक्य के उस भाग को खोजें जिसमें त्रुटि है: Several of the evidences [1]/ presented during the hearing [2]/ were considered circumstantial at best [3]/ and irrelevant at worst. [4]/)
"Evidence" is an uncountable noun and cannot be pluralized as "evidences"; part (1) contains the error. ("Evidence" एक अगणनीय संज्ञा है और इसे "evidences" के रूप में बहुवचन नहीं बनाया जा सकता; भाग [1] में त्रुटि है।)
Change the following from active to passive: They had instructed us to prioritize systemic reforms. (निम्नलिखित को कर्तृवाच्य से कर्मवाच्य में बदलें: They had instructed us to prioritize systemic reforms.)

Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure: The suggestion that the vote had been manipulated was vehemently denied. (नीचे दिए गए वाक्य को कर्मवाच्य संरचना से कर्तृवाच्य संरचना में बदलें: The suggestion that the vote had been manipulated was vehemently denied.)
This restructuring retains the sense of denial being made about the manipulation claim, matching the correct answer per the source. (यह पुनर्गठन हेरफेर के दावे के बारे में किए गए इनकार की भावना को बनाए रखता है, जो स्रोत के अनुसार सही उत्तर से मेल खाता है।)
Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence: He suggested that we should to leave early. (वाक्य के उजागर किए गए भाग को बदलने के लिए सबसे उपयुक्त विकल्प चुनें: He suggested that we should to leave early.)
"Should" is a modal verb and is directly followed by the base form of the verb, so "should to leave" is incorrect; "should leave" is correct. ("Should" एक मोडल क्रिया है और इसके बाद सीधे क्रिया का मूल रूप आता है, इसलिए "should to leave" गलत है; "should leave" सही है।)
