Tahsili English Language 2

Question 1

Choose the correct phrasal verb: 'The meeting was _____ until next week.'

Accepted Answer

put off

Answer

'Put off' means to postpone or delay. 'The meeting was put off' means it was postponed. Other meanings: 'put on' (wear/stage), 'put up' (accommodate/erect), 'put down' (criticize/write). Phrasal verbs are frequently tested in Tahsili English.

Question 2

Which sentence contains a dangling modifier?

Accepted Answer

Walking to school, the rain started.

Answer

'Walking to school, the rain started' is a dangling modifier because it implies the rain was walking. The modifier 'walking to school' must modify a person, not 'rain.' Correct: 'Walking to school, I noticed the rain started.'

Question 3

What is the past participle of 'to choose'?

Accepted Answer

Chosen

Answer

Choose (base) → chose (past tense) → chosen (past participle). 'Chosen' is used in perfect tenses ('I have chosen') and passive voice ('was chosen'). 'Choosed' is not a valid English form.

Question 4

Select the correct sentence with proper comma usage:

Accepted Answer

Before the exam started, the teacher distributed the papers.

Answer

When an introductory adverbial clause ('Before the exam started') begins a sentence, a comma is placed after it, before the main clause. This helps the reader parse the sentence structure correctly.

Question 5

What does 'ubiquitous' mean?

Accepted Answer

Found everywhere; present in all places

Answer

'Ubiquitous' means present, appearing, or found everywhere. Example: 'Smartphones have become ubiquitous in modern society.' It comes from the Latin 'ubique' meaning 'everywhere.'
