Correct Answer: 1956-1957

Solution : The correct answer is 1956-1957.

Correct Answer: She said that she had called the day before, but there was no response.

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Indirect speech is speech that tells you what someone said but does not use the person's actual words. In reported speech, when reporting someone else's statement, we often shift the pronouns and verb tenses.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

• There would be no change in the reporting verb.
• The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.
• The first-person pronoun of the pronoun "I" is changed to the third-person pronoun "she".
• The past tense "called" is changed to "had called" (simple past tense converted to past perfect tense) in the reported speech because we are reporting an action that occurred before the time of reporting. 
• The time expression "yesterday" is changed to "the day before" to maintain the sequence of tenses.

Therefore, the correct answer is: She said that she had called the day before, but there was no response.

Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Haughty is used to describe someone who shows an attitude of superiority and is arrogant whereas humble is used to describe someone who is modest and not arrogant, making it the opposite of "haughty".

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

• Conceited means someone who is excessively proud of themselves.

• Casual means relaxed and unconcerned.

Correct Answer: Gateway of India

Solution : The correct answer is Gateway of India.

Completed in 1924, the Gateway of India is a monumental structure located on the waterfront in Mumbai, also known as Bombay, India. It was constructed to honour George V's landing on December 11, 1911, the day he was crowned Emperor of India.

Correct Answer: Only conclusion I is true

Solution : Given:
Statement: A ≤ D < C = B > E ≥ F < G

Conclusion (I): B > A→A ≤ D < C = B makes A < B. Therefore, B > A is true.
Conclusion (II): C < F→C = B > E ≥ F makes C > F. Therefore C < F is false.

So, the only conclusion I follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Correct Answer: 32 years

Solution : Given:
My age is 6 years and my father is six times older than me.
⇒ Father's age = 6 × 6 = 36 years
My mother is 4 years younger than my father.
⇒ Mother's age = 36 – 4 = 32 years

So, the age of my mother is 32 years. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Correct Answer: The truck has been repaired by Mandeep.

Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive voice in the case of the present perfect tense is: "Singular object + has + been + past participle form of the main verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."

Therefore, the sentence in passive voice is: The truck has been repaired by Mandeep.
