Answer 2

The answers of the grammar questions are as follows:

1) The box is so heavy that I cannot lift it.

• The "so" and "that" are known as subordinate conjunction. They are used to combine two sentences into one compound sentence.

2) Mohan posted the letter, didn't he?

• A question tag is used to convert a statement into a question that typically has a yes or no answer

3) I met Ramesh who had just arrived.

• A relative clause is used to add more information about a noun or pronoun and helps in combining two sentences involving the same noun

4) The gate is shut by him.

• Changing the voice of the sentence from active to passive is useful in making the sentence more formal. The active voice places more importance on the subject, while the passive voice highlights the object of the sentence
