Correct Answer: very slowly

Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

Explanation: Idioms are phrases or expressions that convey a figurative meaning different from the literal interpretation of the individual words. In this case, the idiom "at a snail's pace" means moving very slowly, often used to describe a slow and leisurely pace. The correct option, very slowly, aligns with the figurative meaning of the idiom. Snails are known for their slow movement, and the idiom captures this characteristic to describe a sluggish or unhurried pace.

Therefore, the correct meaning of the idiom is very slowly.

Correct Answer: we will reach the station

Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

There is an error in the segment "we will reach the station" of the sentence.

The phrase "by the time" is a time expression that already indicates a point in the future, so there's no need to use the future tense again in the same clause. In English, when we use "by the time," we typically follow it with a verb in the simple present tense.

In the corrected version, "reach" would be in the simple present tense, making it grammatically accurate when used after "by the time".

Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "By the time we reach the station, the train will have already left."

Correct Answer: (3)

Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

The term "upbringing" typically refers to the process of raising and nurturing children, not fully grown women. Thus, it should be "upbringing of a girl child" in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "The government must provide facilities for the upbringing of a girl child".

Correct Answer: 108

Solution : Given:
RUBBER is coded as 101 and JELLY is coded as 76. 

Add 5 to the sum of the positional value of opposite letters of RUBBER and JELLY, to obtain the required code –
R→I→9; U→F→6; B→Y→25; B→Y→25; E→V→22; R→I→9
(9 + 6 + 25 + 25 + 22 + 9) + 5 = 101
Thus, RUBBER is coded as 101.
And in, JELLY is coded as 76 –
J→Q→17; E→V→22; L→O→15; L→O→15; Y→B→2
(17 + 22 + 15 + 15 + 2) + 5 = 76
Thus, JELLY is coded as 76.
Similarly, follow the same pattern for LABEL –
L→O→15; A→Z→26; B→Y→25; E→V→22; L→O→15
(15 + 26 + 25 + 22 + 15) + 5 = 108

Thus, LABEL is coded as 108. Hence, the first option is correct.

Correct Answer: Esha said to Anshul, "Please lower the volume of the TV as the baby is sleeping."

Solution : The correct answer is the second option.

Direct speech is a form of speech or writing where the actual words spoken by a person are quoted within quotation marks and attributed to the speaker.

Narration conversion:

• The infinitive form of the verb (to lower) will be changed to the base form (lower) as it is an imperative sentence, which would start with the word "please".
• The past continuous tense "was sleeping" is changed to the present continuous tense "is sleeping".

Therefore, the correct answer is: Esha said to Anshul, 'Please lower the volume of the TV as the baby is sleeping.'
