Change in passive: ‘I wrote a letter’

A. A letter is written by me.
B. A letter were written by me.
C. A letter was written by me.
D. A letter was being written by me.

Answer

C. A letter was written by me.

Here’s a breakdown of the rule you used to convert the sentence to passive voice:

Active Voice Structure: Subject + Verb + Object

Passive Voice Structure: Object of Active Voice Sentence + Verb (to be + past participle) + By + Agent (Subject of Active Voice Sentence) (Optional)

Following this rule:

Object of Active Voice Sentence: “A letter” becomes the subject in the passive voice sentence.
Verb: “Wrote” becomes the past participle “written.” The verb “to be” (was) is added before “written” to indicate the passive voice.
By + Agent: “By me” clarifies who performed the action (optional, but included here).

Choose the correct sentence.

A. There has been a very little rain this summer
B. You are intelligent, not he
C. You are the intelligent, not him

Answer

A. There has been a very little rain this summer

The correct sentence is: There has been very little rain this summer

Here’s why:

uses “very little” which is the correct way to express a small amount of something uncountable like rain.
compares intelligence between “you” and “he” but uses the wrong structure. It should be “you are more intelligent than he is” or “you are intelligent, he is not.”
uses “the intelligent” which implies “the most intelligent” which might not be the intended meaning. It’s better to use “you are intelligent” for a simple comparison.

The internal energy of a fixed mass of an ideal gas depends on

A. Pressure
B. Temperature
C. Volume
D. None of these

Answer

B. Temperature

The internal energy of a fixed mass of an ideal gas depends on:

B. Temperature

This is because in an ideal gas:

The molecules are assumed to be point-like with negligible volume.
There are no intermolecular forces between the gas molecules.
The only contributor to the internal energy is the kinetic energy of the gas molecules.

Since the temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, the internal energy of an ideal gas depends solely on temperature.

The other options are not relevant for an ideal gas:

A. Pressure: While pressure and temperature are related in ideal gases (through the ideal gas law), pressure itself doesn’t directly determine the internal energy.
C. Volume: In an ideal gas, the molecules are assumed to have negligible volume, so the container’s volume doesn’t affect the internal energy as long as the gas molecules have enough space to move freely.
