Ethel shiju from National Public School Indiranagar, Bangalore
Subject :IEO    Class : Class 8

Ans 1:

Anuhya A from National Public School, Bangalore
Class : Class 9
Answer should be B

Ans 2:

Ayush Gorain from Sarala Birla Public School, Ranchi
Class : Class 8
When changing from direct to indirect voice, an exclamatory sentence (or any type of sentence for that matter) is changed to an assertive sentence. Option (A) and option (D) are thus excluded, because if they are filled into the respective blank, the sentence would be an exclamatory one. Additionally, the 'you' in option (D) is not acceptable, as personal and possessive pronouns change along with the tense when converting from direct to indirect.Option (C) simply doesn't make sense. The word 'how' advocates that Mrs. Otis is asking a question, while Mrs. Otis is simply exclaiming the manner in which Mr. Ghost was belching. Thus, by deduction, option (B) is the correct answer (in my opinion).

Ans 3:

harsha from dps noida, noida
Class : Class 8

Ans 4:

Ashvik Banerjee from Mount Litera Zee School , Vasco
Class : Class 9

Ans 5:

Ans 6:

Advika Narkar from The Shishukunj International School, Jhalaria Campus, Indore
Class : Class 8
Option A, if applied to the sentence, will sound odd,"Mrs.Otis exclaimed with disgust and told the ghost that how miserably he was belching.". In this case, Option B sounds much better,"Mrs.Otis exclaimed with disgust and told the ghost that he was belching very miserably." Option A when applied to the sentence sounds like a question, not an assertive statement. Option D is excluded since pronouns in the second person will change into third person in indirect speech. And Option C doesn't make any sense. Hence, Option B is the correct answer. ADMIN FROM REVISEWISE NOIDA IS KINDLY REQUESTED TO RECTIFY THIS ERROR AND EVERY SINGLE ERROR IN OTHER TESTS, SO THAT STUDENTS DON'T HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY SOLVING THE TESTS AND DON'T HAVE TO GET THEIR MARKS UNFAIRLY CUT DUE TO THE WRONG OPTION BEING MARKED AS THE CORRECT ANSWER AND THE CORRECT ANSWER BEING MARKED AS THE WRONG ANSWER.

Ans 2:

Chada Lakshmi Chaitra from Timpany School, Visakhapatnam
Class : Class 8
It seems to be option C

Ans 3:

Ayush Gorain from Sarala Birla Public School, Ranchi
Class : Class 8
In my opinion, it is both option (A).Sway (as a verb) is similar to the verb 'control', or 'influence'. It is used in a sentence as such: Mcdonald is very easily swayed by other people's opinions, he's never made so much as a decision by himself in his life. Sway (as a noun) is not similar to the word deviation. Sway means to swing or oscillate, which, generally, means 'to move around a fixed point in a regular manner'. For example: The child swayed slightly on his feet as he waited for his name to be called. Deviation, on the other hand, (as a noun) means 'to stray from a recommended/accepted path'. For example: Harry's deviation from the standard methods (written in the book 'Advanced Potion-Making', by Libatius Borage) earned him many compliments from Slughorn.Thus, the answer is option (A) in my opinion.

Ans 4:

Ashwin Shridhar from Vidyashilp Academy, Bangalore
Class : Class 9
Option C

Ans 5:

Akshara from sishya OMR , chennai
Class : Class 8
In my opinion, option a may be correct in some contexts but when such an appropriate option as option c is there, it should be option c as it is more correct. Olympiad questions are confusing in such a way where they may have two or even more correct answers but in this exercise it is my opinion that in options a and c, c is more appropriate.

Ans 6:

ARAVINDAN MANIKANDAN from NPS INternational, Singapore
Class : Class 8
Sway also means to control

Ans 7:

Student from School, City
Class : Class 8
Both A and C are correct.

Ans 8:

Dhruti Kedilaya from Podar International School Powai, Mumbai
Class : Class 8
It’s option c mostly

Ans 9:

Abhinav from BVM Global Bollineni Hillside, Chennai
Class : Class 8
Option C also seems correct as "sway" means "control" only when it is used in the expression "held sway".

Ans 10:

Bipasana from KV IIT Kanpur, Kanpur
Class : Class 9
I think it's option C

Ans 11:
