"The dog lived in the garden, but the cat, who was smarter, lived inside the house" is an example of

Exam Year(s)

CTET - 2018,

Answer: B

It is a complex compound sentence.

The sentence has two independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction 'but': 'The dog lived in the garden' and 'the cat lived inside the house'. The second also contains a dependent relative clause, 'who was smarter'. Two or more independent clauses plus at least one dependent clause make a compound-complex sentence.

A simple sentence has one clause. A compound sentence would have the two independent clauses but no dependent clause, and a complex sentence one independent clause with a dependent clause, so neither describes all of this sentence.

Select the option that synthesises the following sentences using the most relevant form of the verb.
I didn't know you were in the hospital. I would have come to visit you.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: A

The best synthesis is 'If I had known you were in the hospital, I would have visited you'. The two sentences describe a past situation that did not happen: the speaker did not know, so he did not visit. That unreal past is expressed by the third conditional, 'if' + past perfect in the clause with the condition and 'would have' + past participle in the result. Option B mixes 'were to know' (a present or future hypothetical) with a past result. Options C and D are only restatements joined by 'but' or 'so', not a synthesis in a conditional form.

Select the option that expresses the given superlative sentence to its comparative form without changing its meaning.
Mumbai is one of the richest cities in India.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: C

'Mumbai is richer than most of the cities in India' is the comparative form that keeps the meaning of 'one of the richest cities'. The superlative with 'one of' says that Mumbai is among the top group, so it is richer than most but not necessarily than all. Option D, richer than all cities, makes it the single richest and so changes the meaning. Option A drops the comparison, and option B, very few cities are as rich, is the positive-degree form and implies Mumbai is the richest or nearly so.

Select the clause in the following sentence and identify the kind of clause it is.
Where is the book which I wanted to read?

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: C

The clause is 'which I wanted to read', introduced by 'which', and it is an adjective (relative) clause. It follows the noun 'book' and tells which book is meant, which is the work of an adjective. 'Where is the book' is the main clause, and 'where' is an adverb of place in it, not a clause by itself. A noun clause would stand as the subject or object of a verb, and there is no such thing as a 'prepositional clause' here, so options A, B and D are wrong.

Select the option that joins the following sentences using the most appropriate conjunction.
You can borrow the book. You should return it soon.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: D

'You can borrow the book provided that you return it soon' joins the two sentences with the conjunction that carries the condition. The first sentence gives permission and the second states the requirement, so 'provided that' fits. 'But' contrasts the clauses, 'and' only adds, and 'when' gives a time instead of a condition, so those options do not give the right sense. In a sentence with a conditional clause, 'provided that' states a condition, and so it joins the permission with the requirement that the book be returned soon. 'But' implies that the second sentence limits the first, which is close but less exact, and 'when' changes the sense.

Select the option that converts the following affirmative sentence into a negative sentence.
As soon as he came, he started creating trouble.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: B

The negative form is 'No sooner had he come than he started creating trouble'. A sentence with 'as soon as' becomes a negative one with 'No sooner ... than', and the first clause takes the past perfect with inversion: 'No sooner had he come'. Option D uses 'did he come' and 'had created' without 'than', which is not correct, and options A and C change the meaning. Another way to say it is that the no sooner clause sets two events one right after the other, the first in the past perfect and the second in the simple past, which is why 'No sooner had he come than he started' keeps the sense of 'as soon as'.

Select the option that converts the following complex sentence into a simple sentence.
I am expanding my business wherever I can find an opening.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: C

The simple sentence is 'I am expanding my business in every possible direction'. The complex sentence has the adverb clause 'wherever I can find an opening', which is replaced in the simple sentence by a phrase, 'in every possible direction'. The other options still hold a clause or change the meaning, as 'whence it is possible' does. In the complex sentence there is an adverb clause 'wherever I can find an opening', and a simple sentence has one main clause only, so the clause must become a phrase, 'in every possible direction'. The option with 'wherever I find space' keeps the clause.

Select the option that connects the following sentences with the correct adverb clause.
Fools rush in. Angels fear to tread.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: B

The correct sentence is 'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread', which is the well-known proverb, with 'where' as the adverb clause of place. 'If', 'as' and 'before' give a condition, a reason or a time, and none of these is in the proverb. It is a proverb from Pope's Essay on Criticism, 'For fools rush in where angels fear to tread', and the clause with 'where' is an adverb clause of place. A clause with 'if' would make the second sentence a condition, 'as' would give a reason and 'before' a time, none of which suits the saying.

Identify the kind of determiner of the underlined word in the given sentence. He has rather a pleasant personality.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: A

In He has rather a pleasant personality, the word rather comes before the article a, and a pre-determiner is a word that stands before the determiner. Words such as such, quite, half and rather are pre-determiners.

An ordinal is a word like first, a numeral gives a number, and a qualifier is a word that modifies the degree of an adjective, which is a different class from a pre-determiner.

Identify the type of clause in the given sentence. We sow so that we may reap.

Exam Year(s)

DSSSB PGT - 2023,

Answer: A

We sow so that we may reap has an adverb clause of purpose in standard grammar, but among the options the key takes the adverb clause of result or consequence.

Comparison would use than or as, manner would use as or like, and concession would use although, none of which is in the sentence. Of the options, so that is closest to result or consequence, so I followed the key.
