Correct Answer: Famous artists have painted the most beautiful paintings.

Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The active voice is a type of sentence or clause in which the subject performs the action. It's a more direct and straightforward way of expressing ideas. In an active sentence, the subject is the doer of the action, and the object is the receiver of the action.

The structure of the active voice sentence is: "Subject + have + verb + object"

Therefore, the correct answer is: "Famous artists have painted the most beautiful paintings."

Correct Answer: Shouldn't we honour the brave frontline warriors for their exemplary service?

Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

Active voice is the voice in which the subject performs the action. The focus is on the subject performing the action. When converting a sentence in the passive voice to the active voice, the object of the active voice becomes the subject in the active voice.

The structure of the interrogative sentence in the active voice is, shouldn't + subject + verb + object + prepositional phrase.

Therefore, the sentence in the active voice is: Shouldn't we honour the brave frontline warriors for their exemplary service?

Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

• Exemplary means serving as a model or example; outstanding.
• Uncommon means not frequent or rare.
• Exclusive means restricted or limited to a specific group, not including everyone.

Correct Answer: ASXX

Solution : Given:
GMDR, EOBT, CQZV, ?, YUVZ

Subtract 2 from the first and the third letters and add 2 to the second and fourth letters of the previous term to obtain the next term in the series –
GMDR→G – 2 = E; M + 2 = O; D – 2 = B; R + 2 = T
EOBT→E – 2 = C; O + 2 = Q; B – 2 = Z; T + 2 = V
CQZV→C – 2 = A; Q + 2 = S; Z – 2 = X; V + 2 = X
ASXX→A – 2 = Y; S + 2 = U; X – 2 = V; X + 2 = Z

So, ASXX is the missing term in the series. Hence, the first option is correct.

Correct Answer: gave you some advice,

Solution : The error lies in the first option.

The verb "gave" is incorrect in this context. The correct form should be "give" because it needs to match the infinitive "to" in the sentence. When the infinitive "to" is used, it is followed by the base form of the verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: If I want to give you some advice, would you be interested?

Correct Answer: IN

Solution : Given:
AF, CH, EJ, GL, ?

Add 2 to the place values of each letter of the previous terms to get the next term of the series –
AF→A + 2 = C; F + 2 = H→CH
CH→C + 2 = E; H + 2 = J→EJ
EJ→E + 2 = G; J + 2 = L→GL
GL→G + 2 = I; L + 2 = N→IN

Therefore, IN is the required missing term in the series. Hence, the third option is correct.
