Option B is the correct answer.

When transforming direct speech to indirect speech, you typically shift the verb tenses back one step in time, especially when reporting something that occurred in the past.

In the original direct speech, "passed" is in the past tense. When converting it to indirect speech, we shift the tense of the verb "passed" to its past perfect form "had passed" to indicate that the crisis occurred before the time of the reporting.

So, "ten years ago" becomes "ten years before" to maintain the same relative time frame. Therefore, the correct indirect speech version is:

b) He said that the country had passed through a crisis ten years before.

Option B is the correct answer.

1. Tut! - III. Slight disapproval: Tut is an exclamation used to express mild disapproval or annoyance.
2. Ahem! - I. Express doubts: “Ahem!” is often used to get someone’s attention or to subtly express doubt or hesitation before making a statement.
3. Preto! - IV. While performing a magic trick: This mysterious-sounding word could be uttered by a magician during a performance to add an element of intrigue.
4. Ahoy! - II. Cry of greeting: Sailors and seafarers traditionally use “Ahoy!” as a friendly greeting or to attract attention across distances.

Option B is the correct answer.

The most logical order of sentences to construct a coherent paragraph is:

C. The revolutionary spirit of Netaji was never dampened ever after the surrender of Japan. This sentence sets the stage by highlighting Netaji’s unwavering commitment to India’s cause, even in challenging circumstances.

B. “Japan” surrender is not India’s surrender," he said. This statement reinforces Netaji’s perspective that India’s fight for independence was distinct from Japan’s surrender. It connects to the introduction by emphasizing the need to separate the two events.

D. He knew that a war of liberation demanded great spirit, sacrifice, courage, and patience. This sentence builds on the previous one by explaining Netaji’s understanding of the essential qualities required for a successful struggle for freedom. It connects to the introduction by reinforcing Netaji’s unwavering determination.

A. It was with this invincible spirit that Netaji opposed Wavell’s offer. This final sentence ties everything together by illustrating how
Netaji’s refusal to accept Lord Wavell’s proposal exemplified his unyielding commitment to India’s cause.

Therefore, the correct order is C, B, D, A.

Option A is the correct answer.

Sentence C introduces the context that India has been involved in multiple wars. Sentence A highlights India’s strategic significance.Sentence D specifies the second country involved in multiple wars, and sentence B explains that despite the wars, India did not achieve clear political objectives.

Therefore, the correct sequence is A, C, D, B

Option A is the correct answer.

Option A arranges the sentence parts as follows:

1. Those that have seen the Hindus 
2. P. have naturally no more doubt 
3. S. of their existence than own country 
4. Q. of the existence of other person 
5. R. among them in their own country
6. whom they have met

When we put these together, the sentence reads:

“Those that have seen the Hindus have naturally no more doubt of their existence than own country of the existence of other person among them in their own country whom they have met.”

This sentence means that people who have seen Hindus in their own country have as much certainty of their existence as they do of the existence of any other person they have met in their own country. This makes logical sense and is grammatically correct, which is why option A is the correct answer. The other options do not form a coherent sentence when arranged in the given order.

The correct answer is Option A.

“Cottoned on to”: This informal expression means to realize or become aware of something. It implies that someone has understood a situation, fact, or idea. In the context provided, Mahendra has grasped the fact that the speaker is not interested in his ideas.

Option C is the correct option.

The original sentence contains an error in the subject-verb agreement. The correct form should be “intend” (plural) instead of “intends” (singular) because the subject “candidates” is plural.

Additionally, the pronoun “I” should be replaced with the objective form “me” in this context.

So the revised sentence would be: “All of the candidates except Manindra and me intend to choose cricket as a hobby.

Option A is the correct answer.

• A: The central part of a wheel → II: Hub
• B: Without a body → I: Incorporeal
• C: A great work of art → IV: Magnum opus
• D: A lie told on purpose → III: Perjury
