12. Select the correct combination of sentence given above that makes a simple sentence
Answer: (b) Zubeen Garg, a legendary singer, musician, composer, lyricist, instrumentalist, actor, director, film maker and philanthropist will always remain alive in the hearts of the people of Assam
A simple sentence contains one independent clause. Option (b) uses an appositive phrase ("a legendary singer, musician...") to provide extra information about Zubeen Garg without adding an additional clause or conjunction, making it a simple sentence.
13. Choose the indirect form of narration
Answer: (d) She told her teacher that she had had a headache the day before.
When converting direct speech in the past perfect tense ("I had a headache") to indirect speech, the tense typically remains past perfect ("she had had a headache"). Also, "yesterday" changes to "the day before".
14. Choose the option that correctly changes the voice
Answer: (b) The gates will have been locked by the guards by 2 p.m.
To change a sentence from active voice ("The guards will have locked the gates") to passive voice, the object ("The gates") becomes the subject, and the verb form changes to match the future perfect tense passive structure ("will have been locked").

18. Choose the correct tense form and fill in the blank
Answer: (c) were
The phrase "I wish" is followed by the subjunctive mood to express a hypothetical or unreal situation. In the subjunctive, "were" is used for all persons, including the first person singular ("I").
19. Choose the indirect form of narration
Answer: (d) She asked me if I knew I had killed her dog.
When converting an interrogative sentence to indirect speech, the reporting verb changes to "asked," and "if" or "whether" is introduced. The tenses shift (present simple "Do you know" becomes past simple "I knew," and past simple "you killed" becomes past perfect "I had killed"), and pronouns change ("my dog" becomes "her dog").
