76 . We work every day except Friday'. In this sentence 'except' is a/an

A. adjective
B. noun
C. preposition
D. pronoun

View Answer	Favorite Question	Report

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

In the sentence, 'except' is a preposition (3) because it shows the relationship between "Friday" and the rest of the sentence by introducing an exclusion. It means "not including" and connects the noun "Friday" to the preceding statement, "We work every day".

Preposition: It introduces a noun ("Friday") and links it to the rest of the sentence, indicating what is being excluded.
Adjective: An adjective describes a noun, which is not the function of "except" here.
Noun: A noun is a person, place, or thing. While there is a noun form ("exception"), "except" itself is not used as a noun in this sentence.
Pronoun: A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun (e.g., he, she, it). "Except" is not a pronoun.

C. It's hard to decide which one is better
D. He joined the gym to better his health

View Answer	Favorite Question	Report

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The sentence where "better" is an adverb is: Sound travels better in water than in air.
Explanation: In this sentence, "better" modifies the verb "travels," indicating how it travels (to a greater degree or more effectively). It describes the manner of sound's travel, making it an adverb.
Why other options are incorrect:

We're helping for better weather tomorrow: In this sentence, "better" is an adjective modifying the noun "weather". We are helping to achieve better weather.
It's hard to decide which one is better: Here, "better" is used as a comparative adjective, comparing two things. It describes the relative quality of the items being compared.
He joined the gym to better his health: In this sentence, "better" is part of the verb phrase "to better his health," where it functions as a verb meaning "to improve". He joined the gym with the goal of improving his health.

A. The despot had been thought to be corrupt
B. It was thought that the despot was corrupt
C. The despot was thought to be corrupt
D. The despot is thought to be corrupt

View Answer	Favorite Question	Report

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The correct passive form is "The despot was thought to be corrupt". Other passive options include "It was thought that the despot was corrupt" and "The despot had been thought to be corrupt," but the most common and direct passive transformation is using "was thought to be".
Explanation

Original sentence: "People thought that the despot was corrupt." (Active voice)
Passive voice transformations:
Most common: "The despot was thought to be corrupt." This form moves the object of the clause ("the despot") to the beginning and uses the passive verb form "was thought".
Alternative: "It was thought that the despot was corrupt." This is also a correct passive construction, which uses an introductory "it".
Less common: "The despot had been thought to be corrupt." This is grammatically correct but implies a change in thought over time, which may not be intended by the original statement.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The word that can be used as both singular and plural is cannon.
Explanation: "Cannon" refers to a single large gun, but it can also be used to refer to multiple cannons, meaning the singular and plural forms are the same.
Why other options are incorrect:

Light: While "light" can be used in different contexts, it generally has a different meaning depending on whether it's singular or plural. For example, "The sun emits light." (singular) "The room has several lights." (plural)
Shot: "Shot" is typically singular when referring to a single projectile fired from a gun. The plural is "shots".
Criterion: "Criterion" is the singular form, while the plural is "criteria"

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In the sentence, the verb 'sneezed' is an intransitive verb because it does not take a direct object. The action of sneezing is performed by the subject ("someone") and doesn't transfer to an object, even though it's modified by an adverb ("loudly").

Intransitive Verb: An intransitive verb is an action that does not require a direct object to complete its meaning. The verb's action is complete on its own.
Example: In "Someone sneezed," the verb "sneezed" is intransitive because you can't "sneeze something." The action ends with the subject.
Modifier vs. Object: The word "loudly" is an adverb that modifies the verb "sneezed," describing how the sneezing occurred, but it is not a direct object. Similarly, "at the back of the hall" is a prepositional phrase indicating location, not an object of the verb.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The noun 'neighbour' is of common gender, meaning it can refer to a person of any gender—male, female, or non-binary. It is used for anyone who lives near you, and the context of the sentence determines the gender, not the word itself.

Common Gender: This category includes nouns for a person or animal that can be either male or female, such as 'parent,' 'student,' and 'friend'.
Usage: To specify gender, you would use additional context or a different word, such as 'male neighbour' or 'female neighbour.' The term 'neighbouress' exists but is rarely used.
