Q1Choose the correct English translation of the given sentence: Main apne kamre mein pravesh karne se pehle apne joote aur moje utaar deta hoon.

A I take out my shoes and socks before I enter my room.
B I take off my shoes and socks while entering my room.
C I take off my shoes and socks before entering my room.
D I take out my shoes and socks at the time of entering my room.
Explanation

The Hindi sentence says that the speaker removes his shoes and socks before entering his room. Take off is the correct phrasal verb for removing clothes, shoes, or socks, and before entering preserves the timing. Take out means remove something from inside a place, so it is not suitable for shoes and socks worn on the body. While entering and at the time of entering shift the action to the moment of entry, whereas the source sentence clearly says before entering.

Q2Choose the most appropriate English translation of the given Hindi sentence: Galtiyan nikalna aasan hai.

A It is easy to find faults.
B Faults cannot be easily found.
C It has been easy to find faults.
D It is very easy to find faults.
Explanation

The sentence says that finding faults is easy, so the natural translation is “It is easy to find faults.” “Faults cannot be easily found” reverses the meaning by making fault-finding difficult. “It has been easy to find faults” changes the simple present sense into a present perfect construction, which is not required here. “It is very easy to find faults” adds the extra idea of “very”; the Hindi sentence only says “easy”, not “very easy”. The simplest matching translation is therefore the correct one.

Q3Choose the most appropriate English translation of the given sentence: Aap bevajah yahan baithe hain.

A For no reasons, you sit here.
B For no reasons, you are sitting here.
C You are unnecessarily sitting here.
D Without any reason, you should not sit here.
Explanation

The sentence means that the person is sitting here without need or without a valid reason. “You are unnecessarily sitting here” gives both the present continuous sense and the meaning of bevajah. “For no reasons, you sit here” is unidiomatic and uses the wrong tense. “For no reasons, you are sitting here” has the tense, but the phrase “for no reasons” is not natural English. “Without any reason, you should not sit here” changes the statement into advice or prohibition, so it does not translate the original sentence.
