Part-I: English (Active & Passive Voices) — 10 MCQs
Q1. Change the voice: “She knows him.”
Correct Answer: B. According to page 6 of the English reference document, some verbs do not use “by” in the passive voice. The verb “knows” strictly pairs with the preposition “to”, yielding “He is known to her.”
Q2. Change the voice: “Smoke filled the room.”
Correct Answer: C. As explicitly highlighted in the passive exceptions list on page 6, the verb “filled” takes the preposition “with” instead of “by” when forming the passive voice.
Q3. Change the voice: “This pot contains milk.”
Correct Answer: A. Page 6 specifies that the verb “contains” uses the preposition “in” in its passive formulation rather than the standard agentive “by”.
Q4. Change the voice: “They laughed at me.”
Correct Answer: C. Prepositional verbs retain their attached prepositions in the passive structure. Therefore, “laughed at” remains intact before adding “by them” (page 6).
Q5. Change the voice: “Paint covered the lock.”
Correct Answer: B. Page 6 records that the verb “covered” uses the preposition “with” to denote the material coating, making “covered with paint” the grammatically correct passive form.
Q6. What type of verb must a sentence contain in order to be structurally converted from active voice into passive voice?
Correct Answer: B. Page 1 establishes that a voice transformation requires a transitive verb—where the action passes from the doer to an object. Intransitive verbs cannot form a passive construction due to the lack of a direct object.
Q7. When a sentence is shifted from active to passive voice, what structural shift happens to the direct object of the active verb?
Correct Answer: B. In voice transformations, the active object is promoted to the position of the passive sentence’s grammatical subject to shift focus onto what undergoes the action (page 1).
Q8. Identify the voice structure of the following sentence: “The Holy Quran is being recited by him.”
Correct Answer: B. The presence of the auxiliary verb configuration “is being” combined with the past participle “recited” and the agentive marker “by him” identifies this as a passive continuous structure (page 6).
Q9. Identify the active formulation of this passive sentence: “We will be looked after by us.” (Ref: Page 6)
Correct Answer: A. Reverting the text pattern from page 6 shows that the active sentence “We will look after you” shifts to “You will be looked after by us” (recalibrated here for core pronoun pairing matching).
Q10. According to Michael Swan’s definition on page 1, we use passive verb structures primarily when we want to state:
Correct Answer: B. Page 1 quotes Michael Swan’s rule: “When we say what people and things do, we use active verb forms… When we say what happens to people and things – what is done to them, we often use passive verb forms.”

Q19. Polyethene is manufactured via addition polymerization. Which of the following options represents another common addition polymer?
Correct Answer: B. Page 6 states that polymerization can proceed via addition or condensation mechanisms. Polyethene and polystyrene serve as classic examples of addition polymerization, whereas nylon and terylene are condensation polymers.
Q20. Nylon and Terylene are examples of which class of polymerization?
Correct Answer: B. Page 6 confirms that nylon and terylene are synthesized via condensation polymerization, which involves the elimination of small small molecular byproducts like water.

Q24. Biologically active macromolecules that act as highly specific and efficient protein catalysts are called:
Correct Answer: B. Page 6 confirms that enzymes are specialized protein catalysts characterized by high substrate specificity and catalytic efficiency.
Q25. Which biomacromolecules are responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information, as well as directing protein synthesis?
Correct Answer: B. Point 10 on page 6 outlines that nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) function to store and transmit genetic data, directing cellular protein synthesis.
Q26. Which nitrogenous pyrimidine base is present in RNA molecules but completely absent in DNA?
Correct Answer: B. Page 6 explicitly notes that in RNA, the pyrimidine base uracil (U) replaces thymine (T), which is unique to DNA.
Q27. Who deduced the double-helix structural configuration of DNA in 1953, explaining genetic replication mechanisms?
Correct Answer: B. Page 6 notes that Watson and Crick deduced the double-stranded helical structure of DNA in 1953, providing a structural basis for genetic replication.
Q28. What structural classification describes a polymer with interlinked covalent chains forming a three-dimensional network?
Correct Answer: B. Page 1 establishes that when polymer chains are connected to one another via covalent cross-links, they form a robust, interconnected three-dimensional network.

Correct Answer: B. Nucleotides are the fundamental building blocks of nucleic acids, consisting of a nitrogenous base, a sugar backbone, and a phosphate group.
Q30. Staudinger’s early work challenged prevailing scientific views by demonstrating that polymers are held together by traditional:
Correct Answer: B. Hermann Staudinger proved that polymers are composed of distinct molecules of high molecular weight held together by conventional covalent bonds, overturning the prevailing aggregation theory.
