English Grammar Solution
S1. Ans (b)
Sol. The correct answer is option b.
Replace ‘Batter up’ with Better off’ to make the sentence grammatically & contextually correct.
Better off – It is a phrase which means, ‘To have more money than you had in the past or more money than most other people, in a more satisfactory situation than you were before.’
For the better – If something changes for the better, it improves.

S2. Ans (d)
Sol. The correct answer is option d.
The given sentence is of ‘Active voice’.
The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.
In the given sentence, the subject is `Amit’ and the subject performs some action related to the subject. (Paid the tuition fee)
Now we have to convert it into passive voice.
Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does
nothing, but allows something to be done.
In the passive form, the object of the verb in Active voice becomes the subject of the
verb in the Passive voice. ‘By’ is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the
object.
The sentence thus formed is – Was the tuition fee paid by Amit?
