Frame a question for the corresponding answer:

Question: ____________
Answer: Yes, I am married.

  1. Have you married?

  2. Are you married?

  3. Will you marry?

  4. Did you marry?


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The reply here gives 'Yes' as the answer. The syntax for an interrogative sentence is: Helping verb + subject + main verb  ........?

(Here, a Wh question cannot be framed because the answer is 'Yes'. If the answer is 'Yes/No', then the interrogative sentence starts with a helping verb rather than a Wh word). The tense of the answer is the simple present tense. So, the tense of the question should also be in the simple present tense. Therefore, the correct option is: Are you married?

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The given answer "Yes, I have never been to China." confirms the very words that were spoken in the question. Hence, the most suitable question will contain the same words as in the answer.
Option C: This question best corresponds to the answer/response. It's in the negative, asking if the person has never been to China.
(When someone asks you if you've never been somewhere, and you respond in the affirmative, you're saying that you have never been there.)
Hence option C is correct.
Option A: This question is worded slightly differently. Also, 'ever' is a positive word, it cannot be responded to by saying 'yes, I have never.'
Option B: This question, too, is in the affirmative about 'ever going there', but the answer contradicts it.
Option D: This question is worded differently from the response ('visited' has replaced 'been to').
Since we need to choose the best corresponding question, option D is incorrect.

Frame a 'wh' question for the given sentence:
It was raining heavily.

  1. How was it raining?

  2. Was it raining?

  3. It was raining heavily, wasn't it?

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A 'wh' question is asked for information about something.
The given sentence says how heavily 'it was raining'.
Option A: This is the most suitable question, as it asks "how was it raining", it wants information on how it was raining (scarcely or heavily).
Hence option A is correct.
Option B: This is a yes/no question. It does not ask for any information but asks if it was raining or not. Hence this isn't an appropriate question.
Option C: This is also a yes/no question that does not ask for information (about how it rained). It requires a confirmation - 'Yes, it was'.
Hence options B and C are incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Option B is the correct answer because 'who' is used to refer to a person who is doing something.
Options A and C are incorrect because the question specifically asks for a 'wh' question.
Option D is incorrect because it is a grammatical rule that in a 'wh' question, the question word is placed before the verb. Also 'what' is used to refer to a thing. 

Frame 'wh' question for the given sentence:

  1. Priya will eat when?

  2. When will Priya eat?

  3. Priya will eat in the night, won't she?

  4. All of the above

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
__________ Ranjit get good marks in the Mathematics test?

  1. Has

  2. Don't

Yes / No questions are the questions that expect ‘yes’ or ‘no’ as answer. These questions do not take the wh-questions. These are used to check information or ask for confirmation. Such questions are framed by the auxiliary verbs. 
Didn't is the auxiliary verb in the given sentence. Thus, option D is the correct answer.

_____ does she take the bus?

Because she doesn't have a car.

  1. Why

  2. Where

  3. When

  4. How


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In order to see which answer is correct, we must pay attention to the word 'because', which refers to a cause or reason.

Option A: 'Why' indicates reason, hence option A is correct.
'Where' indicates location, 'when' indicates time and 'how' asks about the manner in which something happens.
These questions cannot be answered by 'because', hence options B, C and D are incorrect.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
_________ lives in that old house? 

  1. What

  2. Who

  3. Which

  4. How


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Option B: 'Who' refers to a person, and is relevant here. The given question also asks about a person who "lives in that old house". Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'What' asks about some thing, rather than some person.
Option C: 'Which' is used when a choice is presented between two things. In the given question, there isn't any choice.
Option D: 'How' asks about the manner or way something is done. This word is hence not relevant here.
So, options A, C and D are incorrect.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
_________ is the price of this blouse?

  1. What

  2. Who

  3. How

  4. Which


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Options A and D: When the question requires a choice between a number of items, 'which' is more formal, compared to 'what'.
The given question does not require a choice. It simply asks for the price of something 'blouse'.
Hence option A is correct and D is incorrect.
Option B: 'Who' refers to a person and does not address a thing 'price'.
Option C: 'How' refers to the manner or value of something. If 'how' were to be used in this sentence, it would be followed by a quantifier 'much'. Otherwise, this word isn't suitable here.
Hence options B and C are incorrect.

__________ is heavier, a kilo of gold or a kilo of feather? 

  1. What

  2. Which

  3. How much

  4. Who


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Options A and B: When the question requires a choice between a number of items, 'which' is more formal, compared to 'what'.
The given question requires a choice between the weight of one kilo of 'gold' and 'feather' each. Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
Option C: 'How much' asks about the quantity or value of something. It does not address the choice, which is the question here.
Option D: 'Who' refers to a person. It does not address things (like gold and feathers).
Hence options C and D are incorrect.

  1. Where

  2. How

  4. Why


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Option A: 'Where' asks about place or location. The given sentence asks for an option between two things. Hence this question word isn't suitable here.
Option B: 'How' asks about the way or manner. The given sentence does not focus on manner, hence B is incorrect.
Option D: 'Why' asks for a reason. This word isn't relevant here. Hence D is also incorrect.
Option C: 'What' asks for information specifying something. It relates to the given sentence. Hence option C is correct.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
_________ is the highest mountain in the world?

  1. What

  2. Which

  3. Who

  4. How


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Options A and B: When the question requires a choice from a list of items, 'which' is more formal, compared to 'what'.
The given question asks about the highest mountain in the world, which is one mountain from a choice of mountains. Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Who' addresses a person, and not a thing (mountain).
Option D: 'How' addresses the manner in which something is done, or the state of something. It does not indicate a choice or degree.
Hence options C and D are incorrect.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
What ______________ on Sundays?

  1. all usually do

  2. do all usually do

  3. do all usually

  4. usually does all do


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
When we form a question with 'what', we usually invert the word order of a positive sentence, where the form is 'what + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb'
Option B: 'Do all usually do' follows the form given above: do (auxiliary verb) + all (subject) (+ usually is an adverb) + do (main verb).
Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'All usually do' is missing the auxiliary verb 'do'. Hence this phrase is incomplete and A is wrong.
Option C: Similarly, 'do all usually' is missing the main verb, hence C is incorrect.
Option D: In 'usually does all do', 'does' is a singular verb and does not agree with the subject 'all'. When the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. Hence option D is incorrect.
('Do' can function as an auxiliary verb as well as a main verb.)

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
_________ is the climate like in your country?

  1. What

  2. Which

  3. Where

  4. How


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Options A and B: 'What' is a question word that asks for information by specifying something. The question here asks for information regarding a particular climate.
'Which' refers to a choice between two things. The given sentence does not indicate any choice.
Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect.
Option C: 'Where' indicates location or place. The given sentence does not indicate location. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'How' asks about the manner or value of something. It is irrelevant to the given sentence. Hence option D is incorrect.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
_________ of these students studies hard?

  1. What

  2. How

  3. Which

  4. Who


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Options A and C: 'What' is a question word that asks about a specific thing.
'Which' indicates a choice between things or people.
The given sentence asks for a choice between students. Hence 'which' is preferred over 'what', and option C is correct; A is incorrect.
Option B: 'How' refers to the manner in which something is done. It doesn't apply here, hence B is incorrect.
Option D: 'Who' refers to person; but it does not refer to choice. Hence this option is incorrect.

Add an appropriate question tag:

One good turn deserves another.

  1. Doesn't it?

  2. Don't it

  3. Does it?

  4. Did it?


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If the statement is positive, the question tag following it has to be negative and vice versa; hence both the options C and D are incorrect because they're positive. Question tags are made up of an auxiliary or modal verb and a subject pronoun. the verb being the same as in the statement. In cases such as the given statement, there isn't an auxiliary verb. So in this case you use does, do or did. The statement is in simple present tense, hence 'did' can't be placed anywhere in it since it is an auxiliary used to refer to the past. Let's add does to the sentence, if you elaborate the sentence, you'd probably put it this way: One good turn does deserve another and the sentence tag for this statement is doesn't it (option A) You wouldn't be able to place 'do' in the sentence as it wouldn't be grammatically correct so we won't use don't it (option B). This should explain why Option A is the correct answer to the given statement.

He writes as well as he speaks

  1. What does he do?

  2. How does he write?

  3. Who writes as well as he speaks?

  4. How does he speak?


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A question needs to be framed for which the underlined part, "as well as he speaks" is the answer.
So, the question should ask 'how' well he writes, the response to which is in comparison to how he speaks.
Option B: 'How does he write?' asks how he writes. The underlined part 'as well as he speaks' is a suitable response for the question 'how'. It answers by comparing similar qualities.
(The given sentence says that he writes well, the same as he speaks well.)
Hence option B is correct.
Option A: The question asks 'what'. However, the response is not appropriate for 'what' he does. So, the question is ambiguous. Hence, this question isn't appropriate for the underlined part.
Option C: This question asks about which person 'who'. The underlined part does not answer this question. It does not answer to 'who' writes as well as he speaks, but 'how'.
Option D: The underlined part does not answer the question 'how he speaks'. The response sounds incomplete for this question, because 'as well as' denotes a comparison with something else.
Instead, the response is for a question that asks 'how he writes'.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.

Explanation:

Wh-questions are used to ask certain types of questions. What, when, why, whom, who, whose, where and how are the wh-questions. 

Where is used to ask in or at what place or position. 
The highlighted part of the sentence shows the place 'vendor's stall'.

Frame a question such that the underlined part of the sentence given is the answer:

  2. How was the hill's view?

  3. Why did the hill have one of the best views?

  4. Which place did the hill overlook?


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A question needs to be framed for which the underlined part, "since it overlooked..." is the answer.
So, the question should ask 'why?', the response to which is a reason, because it begins with 'since'.
Option C: 'Why did the hill have one of the best views?' asks 'why?'. The underlined part is a response to that: 'since it overlooked a beautiful creek...',
Hence option C is correct.
Option A: The response is not 'what the hills have', but it is 'why the hills have one of the best views'.
Hence this question isn't appropriate for the underlined part.
Option B: This question asks 'how the view was'. The underlined part does not answer this question. The response tells 'why' and not 'how', the hills have one of the best views.
Option D: Similarly, the underlined part does not answer the question 'which place'. The response sounds incomplete for this question.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.

Frame a question such that the underlined part of the sentence given is the answer:

The highlighted part of the sentence shows information about the actions.
Thus, option D is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect ones with respect to the given sentence.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
____________ Dhoni still the number one international player?

  1. How

  2. Does

  3. Has

  4. Is


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The correct is Option D.

We are to use the suitable word that completes the given sentence which is in the question form.
Option A-HOW is used when one asks about the manner or style of anything, place or event.
Option B-DOES is the first person singular of the verb 'do'. There is nothing being done in the sentence by Dhoni. 
Option C-HAS is used to indicate possession or an experience. In the given sentence there is no such meaning conveyed.
Hence these 3 options are incorrect.
Option D- IS is a form of the verb 'be'. 'Be' is a word that indicates existence. The given sentence questions whether Dhoni is still the number one international player.
Hence using IS satisfies the meaning of the sentence and is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
__________ will Halley's Comet appear next? (time)

  1. Which

  2. When

  3. Where

  4. What

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option B.

From the given options we have to choose the word that is used when one wishes to know the time of the occurrence of an event.
Option A-WHICH is used for asking particular information from a definite set.
Option C-WHERE is used for asking about a place or position.
Option D-WHAT is used for asking specific information.
None of the above words can be used to ask for the time of an event's occurrence.
Hence these options are not the correct answer.
Option B-WHEN is used when one asks about the time of the occurrence of an event.
Hence Option B is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
__________ you ever travelled in an aeroplane?

  1. Has

  2. Have'nt

  3. Hasn't

  4. Haven't


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option D.

We are to choose the correct word that completes the sentence.
Have and has are both used in meaning of possession and experience. The only difference is that the doer of 'have' is in the first person and the doer of 'has' is in the third person.
In the given sentence the doer of the verb 'traveled' is 'you' - i.e. in the third person. Therefore the correct answer will be Option D -'HAVEN'T'.
The other options are incorrect because:
Option A and D are forms of 'has' and these can be used only if the doer of the sentence is in the first person. The doer of the verb is in the third person in the given sentence. Hence these 2 options are not the suitable answers.
Option B-HAVE'NT is no form of verb. The negation of 'have' is 'have not' and its contraction is 'haven't.
Hence Option D is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
___________ dress should I wear for the party tonight?

  1. How

  2. Who

  3. Which

  4. When


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option C.

We are to choose the correct interrogative word from the given options.
We can make out from the sentence that the speaker has to choose a dress from a definite set of various dresses.
So the correct answer is the word that is used when one is to ask for information or things from a definite set.
Option A- HOW is used when one asks about a method or manner of something.
Option B- WHO is used when one asks about a particular person.
Option D- WHEN is used when one asks about the time of the occurrence of an event.
Hence these options are not the desirable answers since they are not used to ask for a particular thing from a set.
Option C-WHICH is used when one has to choose from a definite set. Here the speaker will use the word 'which' because he or she wishes to choose a single dress from various dresses.
Therefore Option C is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
__________ you like to drink milk twice daily?

  1. When

  2. Does

  3. Do

  4. What


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The correct answer is option C.

In the given sentence we are to choose the correct word that indicates the meaning of performance. The speaker wishes to know whether the listener likes to drink milk twice daily.
Option A WHEN is used when one wishes to ask about the time period.
Option B DOES is a form of the verb Do and is used when the subject of the verb is in the third person.
Option D-WHAT is used when one wishes to demand any kind of specific information. In the given sentence the speaker demands information related to performance. Hence WHAT cannot be used in the meaning of performance.
Hence these 3 options are incorrect.
Option C -DO is used to indicate the meaning of performance and is used when the doer is in the first person. This correctly complies with the given sentence and hence is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
___________ has taken my new red pen?

  1. Who

We are to choose the correct interrogative word from the given options.
Option A- WHO is used when the subject of inquiry is a person.
Option B -WHY is used for interrogation when one wants to know the reason.
Option C- WHERE is used when one wants to inquire about a place.
Option D-WHAT is used to inquire about specific information.
In the given sentence the speaker wishes to know which person has taken his pen.
Thus according to the explanation of the various interrogative words given above Options B, C and D have to be ruled out as the correct answer since they are used for interrogation of reason, place, and information respectively. Option A is used for interrogation when one wishes to know which person.
Hence Option A is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
__________ should we go for a holiday, once our exams are over? (place)

  1. Where

  2. Why

  3. What

  4. Who


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option A.

We are to choose the correct interrogative word in the sentence.
In the given sentence the speaker's question is about which place they should go for a holiday.
Option B-WHY is used when one asks for a reason.
Option C-WHAT is used when one asks for specific information about a thing.
Option D-WHO is used when asks about a person.
Hence these are not the desired options because they cannot be used to ask about a place.
Option A-WHERE is used when one asks about the place or position of an event.
Hence Option A is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
__________ should I do, if I am caught?

  1. Is

  4. What


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option D.

In the given sentence we can make out that the speaker wants to know how to act on being caught. The speaker is demanding this information from the person spoken to. So we are to choose the option that correctly follows this meaning.
Option A-IS is a form of the verb 'be' and can be used to convey the meaning of existence.
Option B-WHICH is used when wishes to ask for a specific thing from a definite set.
Option C-WHY is used to know the reason.
None of the above options are used to demand or ask for information. Hence they are not the correct answer.
Option D-WHAT is used when one demands specific information. The speaker in the sentence demands information on how to act on being caught.
Hence Option D is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Do they often go to the beach? Yes, they _________.

  1. do

  2. go

  3. do go

  4. are going


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

We use do, does (present simple) or did (past simple) to give extra force to the main verb. Since the question is in present and has third person plural subject, root form of the verb "do" should be used. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence incorrect. 

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Does Albert have any new magazines? No, he _________.

  1. does

  2. doesn't

  3. has

  4. don't


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We use auxiliary do, not auxiliary be, for questions with main verbs in the present simple, like having magazines. In third person present tense, we use "does" and for negative, " doesn't". Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express this condition, hence incorrect.
