Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: The doctor said, “Thank God! I needn’t go out in the rain.”


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The direct form of a sentence typically involves the direct quoting of someone's words or thoughts without any alteration.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • The introductory phrase "The doctor exclaimed with relief that" would be changed to "The doctor said, "Thank God!"".
  • The pronoun "he" changes to "I" to reflect the doctor's first-person perspective in the reported statement.
  • The verb tense "didn't need" becomes needn't" to retain the original tense.
  • The sentence structure changes to a direct statement within quotation marks to reflect the doctor's exact words.

Therefore, the direct form would be: "The doctor said, “Thank God! I needn’t go out in the rain.”

Correct Answer: which


Solution : The right choice is the third option.

Explanation: The word which is a relative pronoun introduces a relative clause providing additional information about the study. The use of "which" helps connect and elaborate on the information about the study and the World Health Organisation, specifying that the WHO is an agency of the United Nations.

Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "There is a new study on air pollution which comes from the experts of the World Health Organisation (WHO), which is an agency of the United Nations."

From 1975 to 1987, the inflation rate increased in Third World countries approximately by:

Option 1: 10%

Option 2: 20%

Option 3: 30%

Option 4: 36%

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 36%


Solution : As per the given graph:
The inflation rate in the Third World in the year 1975 = 26.6
The inflation rate in the Third World in the year 1987 = 36.2
Increase in the inflation rate from 1975 to 1987 = 36.2 – 26.6 = 9.6
The required inflation percentage rate = $\frac{\text{Increase in the inflation rate from 1987 to 1975}}{{\text{The inflation rate in the Third World in the year 1975}}}×100$
The required inflation percentage rate = $\frac{9.6}{26.6}×100$ = 36.09%
The required inflation percentage rate $\approx$ 36%
Hence, the correct answer is 36%.
