S5. Ans. (d)
Sol. The correct answer is option d.
The error lies in part d of the sentence.
Remove ‘Don’t’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Unless means ‘Except on the condition that: under any other circumstance than.’
“Unless” is used when referring to something negative.
For example – Unless you study, you will fail.
It means you will not pass the exam unless you study well. (Unless – It means ‘If (you) don’t,’ which is already kind of negative. Hence, usage of ‘Any negative word’ will make the sentence erroneous.
For example – Unless you don’t study, you will fail. (This sentence is wrong because usage of ‘Don’t’ after ‘Unless’ would make the sentence a double negative which is grammatically and contextually incorrect.)
In the given sentence, it states that – (If you don’t = Unless) apologize, you are likely to be punished.
Hence, usage of ‘Don’t’ after ‘Unless’ will make the sentence a double negative which is grammatically and contextually incorrect.)
Unless – It is used instead of ‘If…not’ in conditional sentences of all types.
For Example – You will be sick if you don’t stop eating. (With if)
– You’ll be sick unless you stop eating. (With unless)

S7. Ans. (d)
Sol. The correct answer is option d.
The given sentence is of ‘Active voice’.
The sentence is said to be in an active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.
In the given sentence, the subject is ` The teacher’ and the subject performs some action
(Advised the students)
Now we have to convert it into a 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 – The teacher advised the students that they must write neatly.

S8. Ans. (b)
Sol. The correct answer is option b.

Sol. The correct answer is option a.
On the horizon– It is an idiomatic expression which means, ‘An event that is most likely going to happen soon.’
Option (a) portrays the same meaning as that of the given idiom & hence, it is the
correct choice.
