The meeting was postponed by a week.

Option 1: They postponed the meeting by a week.

Option 2: They are postponing the meeting by a week.

Option 3: They have postponed the meeting by a week.

Option 4: They will postpone the meeting by a week.

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

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 for the past tense sentence is: "Subject + past form of the verb + object."

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "They postponed the meeting by a week."

IJN→I + 3 = L; J + 3 = M; N + 3 = Q→LMQ

Therefore, LMQ is the required missing term in the series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2), and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).

(1) brought as a shock

(2) got as a shock

(3) came as a shock

(4) No Improvement

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

It is a common phrase that conveys the idea that something was surprising or unexpected. In the context of the sentence, it indicates that the empty stands were unexpected and surprising to the contingent.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Brought as a shock: "Brought" suggests an action, and it doesn't fit with the idea that empty stands themselves were the shock.
  • Got as a shock: While "got as a shock" is a common expression, it's not as formal or precise as "came as a shock".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The empty stands at the stadium came as a shock to the contingent, which was taking part in the celebration for the first time in the state."
