A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
The stars ____ counted.
Explanation: The correct sentence is: 'The stars cannot be counted.' <br> This is because the sentence requires a passive voice construction, and the context refers to the impossibility of counting the stars due to their vast number. <br> 'Cannot be' is a modal verb phrase used to express impossibility in the passive voice. <br> Hence, 'cannot be counted' correctly conveys that it is not possible to count the stars. <br> Explanation of Incorrect Options: <br> Option A: can<br> 'Can' alone is an active voice modal verb and needs to be followed by a base verb. <br> 'The stars can counted' is grammatically incorrect because it lacks the auxiliary verb 'be' for passive voice. <br> It would need to be 'can be counted' to be correct, but even then, it would be factually wrong in this context. <br> Option B: can be<br> 'Can be counted' is grammatically correct and in passive voice. <br> However, it implies that stars are countable, which is not true considering the vastness of the universe. <br> So while grammatically acceptable, it is contextually incorrect. <br> Option D: must<br> 'Must' indicates necessity or obligation, and using it without 'be' is grammatically wrong. <br> 'The stars must counted' is incorrect; it should be 'must be counted' to be in correct passive form. <br> Even then, the sentence 'The stars must be counted' implies an obligation, which is illogical and contextually inappropriate.
A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
Three Idiots.....really a watchable movie.
Explanation: Solution: This question tests your understanding of subject-verb agreement. The subject of the sentence is 'Three Idiots,' which is a singular noun phrase even though it refers to multiple people. Think of it as a single title referring to one movie. <br> Therefore, we need a singular verb to agree with the singular subject. <br> Option A ('are') is a plural verb. <br> Option B ('is') is a singular verb. <br> Option C ('superb') is an adjective, not a verb. <br> Option D ('do') is a plural verb. <br> The correct verb to use is 'is' because it agrees with the singular subject 'Three Idiots.' The complete sentence is: 'Three Idiots is really a watchable movie.'
A statement with one blank is given below. Choose the set of words from the given options which can be used to fill the given blank.
Chirag hardly ever cooks,......?
Explanation: Solution: Chirag hardly ever cooks, does he? <br> This is an example of a question tag. When the main statement is negative, the question tag must be positive. In this case, 'hardly ever' implies a negative meaning, so the correct question tag is positive: 'does he'.<br> Option A: isn't he is incorrect because it is used for a different type of sentence, typically referring to the verb 'to be' rather than an action like cooking. <br> Option B: he doesn't is incorrect because it's not a proper question tag; it repeats the negative form of the sentence, which is not appropriate in this context. <br> Option C: doesn't he is incorrect because it's a negative question tag, and we need a positive tag here due to the negative implication of 'hardly ever.' <br> Conclusion: The correct answer is Option D: does he, as it follows the rule of using a positive question tag after a negative statement.

Mrs. Nooyi will join the Board in June 2018 to align with the term of the ICC Independent Chairman, following the unanimous confirmation of her appointment at Board's meeting. <br><br> The introduction of an Independent Director, who must be female, was approved by the ICC Full Council in June 2017 as part of wide ranging constitutional change aimed at improving the global governance of the sport. <br> <br> Mrs. Nooyi is a global business leader, consistently ranked by Fortune Magazine among the World's Most Powerful Women. As Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo, Mrs. Nooyi is responsible for a global food and beverage portfolio that includes 22 brands generating more than $1 billion each in annual retail sales, including Quaker, Tropicana, Gatorade, Frito-Lay and Pepsi-Cola. <br><br> Mrs. Nooyi is also the chief architect of Performance with Purpose, PepsiCo's vision to deliver top-tier financial performance over the long term by integrating sustainability into the company's business strategy. Under her leadership, since 2006 PepsiCo has focused on offering more nutritious foods and beverages, minimizing their impact on the environment, and creating opportunities for their employees and people across the markets they serve. <br><br> ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar said: 'We are delighted to welcome Indra to the ICC. Adding another independent director - particularly a female - is such an important step forward in improving our governance. To have someone of Indra's calibre is fantastic news for the global game - she is frequently recognized as one of the most influential people in business today, running one of the world's biggest corporations.' <br> <br> 'We undertook a global search looking for the right candidate who would complement the existing skills and experience already on our Board. A cricket enthusiast with experience in the commercial sector and independent of the ICC, any Member or state or associated organization were the primary criteria and in Indra we have found an exceptional new colleague and we look forward to working with her in the future.' <br><br> The Independent Director will be appointed for a two-year term although she may be re-appointed for two further terms with a maximum six-year consecutive period of service. <br><br> In accordance with international standards of good governance, the Independent Ethics Officer for the ICC and PepsiCo's General Counsel have reviewed and both formally approved the appointment, providing a clear framework for appropriately managing any potential or perceived conflicts of interest that might arise in the future.
