Answer 2

Correct Verb Forms

• 1. The Vadilals is a very renowned family.
• - Here we write is because Vadilals is expressing a family as a whole i.e., a Collective Noun.

• 2. The struggle for India's Independence began in 1857.
• - Here we write began because the year dated back to 1857, a time of the past.

• 3. Many soldiers died due to Malaria during war.
• - There is no mention of which time the war did happen or if it is happening currently; from the options, the most appropriate is died.

• 4. The students will be taken for a picnic to the zoo on Sunday.
• - The event will happen in upcoming future and that is why the Tense of the sentence is Future Tense and since they have to be taken by an authority, we write passive voice form will be taken.

• 5. The Government has ordered the closure of all schools in the wake of heat wave.
• - The Tense of the sentence is Present Perfect Tense.
