प्र.1Choose the correct indirect form of the sentence: The curator said, "The manuscript was restored last year, but its provenance remains disputed."

A The curator said that the manuscript had been restored the previous year, but its provenance remained disputed.
B The curator said that the manuscript was restored last year, but its provenance remained disputed.
C The curator said that the manuscript had restored the previous year, but its provenance remained disputed.
D The curator said that the manuscript had been restored the previous year, but its provenance had remained disputed.
व्याख्या

सही उत्तर A है क्योंकि अप्रत्यक्ष कथन में "was restored" का रूप "had been restored" होता है और "last year" बदलकर "the previous year" हो जाता है। "remains disputed" एक चलती स्थिति दिखाता है, इसलिए उसे "remained disputed" रखना पर्याप्त है; उसे अनावश्यक रूप से भूतपूर्व पूर्ण काल में बदलना ठीक नहीं। C में passive का "been" छूट गया है और D में स्थिति को बहुत पीछे ले जाया गया है।

प्र.2प्रत्यक्ष कथन (A): अप्रत्यक्ष कथन में ‘Let us’ से शुरू वाक्य को प्रस्ताव या सुझाव के रूप में बदला जा सकता है। कारण (R): ‘Let us’ हमेशा आदेश का अर्थ देता है, इसलिए यह हमेशा ‘ordered them to’ बन जाता है।

A दोनों A और R सही हैं, तथा R, A की सही व्याख्या है।
B A और R दोनों सही हैं, परन्तु R, A की सही व्याख्या नहीं है।
C A सही है, जबकि R गलत है।
D A गलत है, जबकि R सही है।
व्याख्या

सही उत्तर C है क्योंकि कथन सही है: "Let us" से शुरू वाक्य को indirect speech में सामान्यतः प्रस्ताव या सुझाव के रूप में बताया जा सकता है। कारण गलत है, क्योंकि "Let us" हमेशा आदेश नहीं होता और इसे अपने-आप "ordered them to" नहीं बनाया जाता।

प्र.3दिए गए वाक्य का सबसे उपयुक्त परोक्ष कथन चुनिए: He said, "Do not walk on snow. It is not safe."

A He warned us not to walk on snow as it was not safe.
B He said us not walk on snow for it is not safe.
C He told us that it is not safe to walk on snow.
D He warned them how unsafe it was to walk on snow.
व्याख्या

सही उत्तर A है क्योंकि "Do not walk..." चेतावनी वाला नकारात्मक आदेशवाचक वाक्य है, इसलिए परोक्ष कथन में "warned us not to walk" सही बनता है। दूसरे वाक्य का कारण "as it was not safe" से जुड़ता है और काल भूतकाल में बदलता है। B में "said us not walk" अशुद्ध है, C चेतावनी का भाव पूरा नहीं देता और D मूल संरचना बदल देता है।

प्र.4Consider the following statements about changing direct questions into indirect speech. Statement 1: In a yes/no question, 'if' or 'whether' is normally used after the reporting verb. Statement 2: The auxiliary-subject inversion of the direct question is retained in indirect speech. Statement 3: A wh-question keeps the wh-word, but the word order becomes assertive. Which of the statements are correct?

A Statement 1 and Statement 3 only
B Statement 1 and Statement 2 only
C Statement 2 and Statement 3 only
D All three statements
व्याख्या

सही उत्तर A है क्योंकि indirect speech में yes/no question के बाद सामान्यतः if या whether लगाया जाता है। wh-question में wh-word बना रहता है, लेकिन शब्द-क्रम साधारण कथन जैसा हो जाता है; direct question वाला auxiliary-subject inversion नहीं रहता।

प्र.5Assertion (A): In indirect speech, the sentence 'The professor said, "Mercury expands when heated"' may be reported as 'The professor said that mercury expands when heated.' Reason (R): A generally accepted scientific fact is normally not backshifted merely because the reporting verb is in the past.

A Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
B Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C A is true, but R is false.
D A is false, but R is true.
व्याख्या

सही उत्तर A है। परोक्ष कथन में सामान्य वैज्ञानिक तथ्य को केवल इसलिए भूतकाल में नहीं बदला जाता कि कथन-सूचक क्रिया भूतकाल में है। "Mercury expands when heated" में "expands" इसी नियम से वर्तमान काल में रह सकता है, इसलिए कारण सीधे कथन को समझाता है।
