      Was bought

    Correct Answer
    B. Were bought
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "were bought". In this sentence, the subject is "books" which is plural, so the correct verb form to use is "were". The past participle form of the verb "buy" is "bought", so the sentence should be "The books were bought yesterday."

    • C.

      They 

    • D.

      Themselves

    Correct Answer
    B. Them
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "them" because it is the objective pronoun that refers to the plural noun "tickets." In this sentence, "them" is used to indicate that the tickets were bought for someone or something else.

    • C.

      He

    • D.

      Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. That
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "that" because it is used to introduce a clause that provides more information about the dog and how it worried the cat. In this sentence, "that" is acting as a relative pronoun, connecting the two clauses together.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    He ............ does his best shall be praised.

    • A.

      Himself

    • B.

      Hisself

    • C.

      Who

    • D.

      None

    Correct Answer
    A. Himself
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "himself". In this sentence, the word "does" is a verb, and it requires a reflexive pronoun to show that the subject is performing the action on themselves. Therefore, the correct pronoun to use is "himself". The other options, "hisself" and "who", are not grammatically correct in this context. The option "none" is also incorrect as it does not provide a suitable pronoun to complete the sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    He always ...........(buy) lottery tickets but never..........(win) any prize.

    • A.

      Buy, win

      Bought, win

    • C.

      Buys, wins

    • D.

      Buys, win

    Correct Answer
    D. Buys, win
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "buys, win". The verb "buys" is in the present tense, indicating a habitual action that the person always does. The verb "win" is in the base form, as it is used after "never" to indicate that the person has never won any prize.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    He ............. (come) here last sunday.

    • A.

      Came

    • B.

      Comes

    • C.

      Come

    • D.

      Did not came

    Correct Answer
    A. Came
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "came" because it is the past tense form of the verb "come" which is used to indicate an action that happened in the past. In this sentence, the action of coming occurred last Sunday, so the past tense form "came" is the appropriate choice.

    Rate this question:

  • 8.

      Otherwise 

    • B.

      Lest

    • C.

      Although

    • D.

      Or

    Correct Answer
    B. Lest
    Explanation
    The word "lest" is used to express a negative consequence that may happen if a certain action is not taken. In this context, the phrase "Take care... you should fail" implies that failing is a potential outcome if one does not exercise caution. Therefore, "lest" is the most appropriate word choice as it conveys the intended meaning of a warning or precautionary measure.

      The 

    • D.

      That

    Correct Answer
    A. A
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "a". In this sentence, the indefinite article "a" is used before the noun "useful article" to indicate that it is one of many useful articles. The use of "a" suggests that there are other useful articles out there, but this particular one is being referred to.

This comparison highlights Iqbal's immense contribution to Pakistani literature and his impact on the cultural and intellectual landscape of the country.
