Here, the sentence talks about child directed learning is good for the children and has thus resulted in delivering significant gains in a child’s academic skills.

Here, the sentence C is missing a preposition. An action is always followed by a preposition. Here, frowning will be followed by ‘at’.

Here:

1. The European Nation - because we are talking about the European nations in particular
2. A utilitarian principle - we use an before vowels but there are exceptions. We have used ‘a’ before utilitarian because according to its pronunciation, it starts with ‘yoo’. Hence a consonant.
3. No article before everyone will be used because it is a general address to the people and is also preceded by a preposition.
4. An individual will be used because it talks about a single person and is also starting with a vowel ‘i’.

Answer - Here, we see that when we convert a speech from direct to indirect we change the tense from present to past. Only option A, B and D has that.

Now, when we come to tense conversion, option A has changed it to past perfect (had been) which is a word because simple present changes to simple past. SO option A is eliminated.

Now option B and D are left where Option D uses ‘Told To’ which is a wrong pair of words, hence we eliminate that.

Thus the answer is option C.

Answer - Here, uprightly is the adverb that is used incorrectly. We are talking about a sudden action that was performed by Katherine and so it cannot be an adverb, it has to be a verb. Hence upright.

Next, on or onto her seat is wrong because she is already sitting on the seat. So any action that takes place with regard to the seat henceforth, it will be ‘in’ because the object is already in use.

Second sentence - when we see that the clue is negative, we directly eliminate the two options squalling and unpredictable because they are not closely related to negative.

Famished means to be hungry, hollow or ravening

Satiated means to be satisfied and full

Impetus means the force or energy with which a body moves.

Stodgy means to be dull and uninspired

Answer - If only the road had been smoother

The sentence here is divided into two clause which talks about two contradictions. Here it says that if the road was smooth, the person would be on time.

The first thing to notice is that the sentence is a comparative sentence and so we should have used the word smoother in the answer. Now, more smooth is grammatically wrong and only smooth will not fit here. So this eliminates Option A and B.

Option C use were which is a plural verb but the noun here ‘road’ is singular, so it is again grammatically wrong.

This leaves us with option D. Now the last sentence takes all the elements into consideration. It uses smoother, uses the pair word of ‘If Only’, and then uses past perfect tense ‘had been’ to show that the action or the situation was in the past.

Answer - Here, the sentence talks about the students who waste their time and do not start studying before it is absolutely needed.
