Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The correct passive form of "I heard her sing" is "She was heard to sing by me". In this transformation, the object "her" becomes the subject "She," and the original subject "I" is moved to the end of the sentence with "by". The original infinitive verb "to sing" is retained, but with "to" added.

Active: I heard her sing.
Passive: She was heard to sing by me.

Here's a breakdown of why other forms might be incorrect:

Using "singing" (e.g., "She was heard singing by me") changes the nuance and implies you heard her as she was in the middle of singing, rather than the simple act of her singing.
Forms like "She was heard sing by me" are grammatically incorrect because the verb "to hear" requires "to" before the base form of the verb in a passive construction like this.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The underlined part "why you did this" is a noun clause.
Explanation:

Noun clause: A noun clause functions as a noun in a sentence, acting as the subject, object, or complement of a verb. In the given sentence, "why you did this" is the object of the verb "tell". If we ask "Tell me what?", the answer would be "why you did this".
Why you did this: This clause expresses a reason, which is a noun-like function.

Why other options are incorrect:

Adjective clause: Adjective clauses modify nouns or pronouns, usually beginning with relative pronouns like who, whom, which, that, or whose. The underlined part doesn't modify any noun or pronoun. It functions independently as a noun clause.
Adverbial clause: Adverbial clauses modify verbs, adverbs, or other clauses, indicating time, place, manner, reason, condition, concession, or consequence. The underlined part doesn't modify a verb, adverb, or other clause. It functions as a noun clause. While it does express a reason, the why doesn't modify anything. It's the entire clause that functions as the reason.
Adverbial phrase: Adverbial phrases modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, indicating time, place, manner, degree, frequency, purpose, or other circumstances. The underlined part is not a phrase; it's a clause with its own subject and verb. An adverbial phrase would be something shorter, like "quickly" or "in the park".

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The appropriate preposition to fill the blank is "to": 'She was married to a rich man'. The verb "marry" is transitive in this context, meaning it directly takes an object without a preposition when forming a passive voice construction like this.
Explanation:
When you are talking about who someone married, you use the preposition "to".
For example, "He was married to her" or "She was married to him".

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In the sentence "Ihana sleeps only for four hours a night," the verb 'sleeps' is intransitive because it is a verb that does not require a direct object to make sense; 'sleeps' here describes an action that Ihana performs without acting on something else.
Here's a breakdown of why:
Intransitive verbs
describe an action that an individual performs on their own. For example, in "Ihana sleeps," Ihana is sleeping, but she isn't sleeping something else.
Transitive verbs
require a direct object to complete their meaning. For example, in "The apartment sleeps six," the hotel is accommodating six people, and "six" is the direct object.
Therefore, because the verb 'sleeps' in the sentence about Ihana does not have a direct object, it is intransitive.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

In the sentence, "The river flows past the village," the word "past" is a preposition. It indicates the location or movement of the river in relation to the village, functioning to show that the river flows by or beyond the village.
Here's why:
Prepositions show relationships:
Prepositions connect nouns or pronouns to other words in a sentence, often indicating a relationship of time, place, or direction.
"Past" as a preposition:
In this case, "past" shows the river's movement in relation to the village. It forms a prepositional phrase "past the village," where "the village" is the object of the preposition.
Examples:
The car drove past the house, and the river flows past the village are examples of "past" used as a preposition to show movement relative to an object.
