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

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.

A. participle infinitive
B. infinitive
C. verbal noun
D. gerund

View Answer	Favorite Question	Report

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The answer is correct because 'going' in the phrase 'They talked about going on a vacation' functions as a gerund. A gerund is the '-ing' form of a verb that acts as a noun. In this case, 'going' refers to the act of going on a vacation, which is what they are talking about.

To clarify:

Participle: Used as an adjective or to form verb tenses.
Infinitive: The base form of a verb, often preceded by 'to' (e.g., to go).
Verbal Noun: Similar to a gerund, but typically used in different grammatical roles. However, 'gerund' is the more precise term in this context.

Therefore, in this sentence, 'going' serves as a noun describing the activity of the vacation, which confirms it as a gerund.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In the sentence "The moon goes round the earth," round is a preposition because it shows the relationship between "the moon" and "the earth" by indicating direction or location. Prepositions are words that connect a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence, often showing movement or position.

Here's why it's a preposition:

Connection: "Round" connects the verb "goes" (referring to the moon) with its object, "the earth," indicating that the moon travels in a circular path around it.
Meaning: The word "round" here functions similarly to "around" and expresses the idea of movement in a circular path.
Object: A preposition typically takes an object (the noun or pronoun it relates to). In this case, "the earth" is the object of the preposition "round".
