Tahsili English Language

Question 1

Choose the correct sentence:

Accepted Answer

If I were you, I would study harder.

Answer

The subjunctive mood uses 'were' (not 'was') for hypothetical conditions with all subjects. 'If I were you' is the correct form for second conditional expressing unreal/imaginary situations.

Question 2

What does the word 'meticulous' mean?

Accepted Answer

Very careful and precise with great attention to detail

Answer

'Meticulous' means showing extreme care and great attention to detail. A meticulous student checks their work thoroughly. Synonyms: thorough, careful, precise, painstaking.

Question 3

Complete the sentence: 'Not only _____ intelligent, but she is also hardworking.'

Accepted Answer

is she

Answer

'Not only' at the beginning of a clause triggers subject-verb inversion: 'Not only is she intelligent...' This is a common inversion pattern in formal English, also seen with 'Never have I,' 'Rarely does he,' etc.

Question 4

Which word is a synonym for 'substantial'?

Accepted Answer

Considerable

Answer

'Substantial' means considerable in size, value, or importance. 'The company made substantial profits' means significant/considerable profits. The other options (insignificant, minimal, trivial) are antonyms.

Question 5

Identify the correct use of the present perfect tense:

Accepted Answer

I have gone to Makkah many times.

Answer

Present perfect (have/has + past participle) is used for past actions with present relevance or repeated past actions. 'I have gone many times' (past participle 'gone,' no specific time). Past tense is used with specific times ('last year,' 'yesterday').
