Text Explanation:
The correct term for someone who lives at the same time as another is 'contemporary'. 'Predecessor' refers to someone who came before, 'contemptuous' is an adjective describing an attitude, and 'successor' refers to someone who comes after.

Ask a Doubt
Text Explanation:
The correct phrase is 'Brevity is the soul of wit', a famous line from Shakespeare's play. 'Of' is the correct preposition to use here, indicating possession. 'With', 'for', and 'off' do not fit contextually.

Text Explanation:
Broke down' means to lose control emotionally, which makes sense in the context of the sentence. 'Broke of' is grammatically incorrect, 'broke apart' does not fit the context as it implies splitting into parts, and 'broke for' is inappropriate here.

Ask a Doubt
Text Explanation:
The correct choice is 'administered…. combat'. 'Administered' is appropriately used in medical contexts to indicate the application of a treatment, and 'combat' correctly implies fighting against the disease. 'Used' and 'relieve' are too general, 'gave' and 'fake out' are incorrect and nonsensical in this context, and 'prescribed' and 'prove' do not fit grammatically or contextually.

Ask a Doubt
Text Explanation:
The correct answer is 'itself'.
This sentence is a variation of the famous quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt, 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself,' which uses 'itself' to refer back to 'fear'.
The other options do not grammatically fit the sentence as they are misaligned in terms of number and person.

Text Explanation:
Examine' is the correct synonym for 'sift', which means to look through or investigate carefully. 'Calamity', 'worthiness', and 'problematic' are unrelated to 'sift' and do not fit the meaning of carefully examining or investigating something.

Ask a Doubt
Text Explanation:
To' is the correct preposition in this context, commonly used to express a preference as in 'I prefer X to Y'. 'Then' is used for timing, not preference. 'Over' and 'against' are not used in this preferential context.

Ask a Doubt
Text Explanation:
The correct passive voice form is 'The enemy was compelled to surrender by us'. This correctly changes the active voice sentence into passive, maintaining proper tense and subject-object inversion. The other sentences either maintain active voice, use the wrong tense, or are grammatically incorrect.

Text Explanation:
Option 4 is correct because it uses proper comparative and superlative forms. 'The best player' is grammatically correct. Options 1, 2, and 3 use incorrect or redundant comparative and superlative forms ('very best', 'more best', 'more better'), which are not grammatically correct.
Question 10.

Text Explanation
Video Explanation
Ask a Doubt
Text Explanation:
Option 3 is correct. It properly uses the infinitive form 'not to leave', which is standard in directives or commands. Option 1 uses a split infinitive, which is generally avoided in formal writing. Option 2 has a grammatical error in the preposition usage and verb form. Option 4 has a tense error in 'order' instead of 'ordered'.
