framing questions transformation of sentences english

  1. Did you ever go to China?

  2. Have you ever been to China?

  3. Have you never been to China?

  4. Have you never visited China?

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The given answer "Yes, I have never been to China." confirms the very words that were spoken in the question. Hence, the most suitable question will contain the same words as in the answer.
Option C: This question best corresponds to the answer/response. It's in the negative, asking if the person has never been to China.
(When someone asks you if you've never been somewhere, and you respond in the affirmative, you're saying that you have never been there.)
Hence option C is correct.
Option A: This question is worded slightly differently. Also, 'ever' is a positive word, it cannot be responded to by saying 'yes, I have never.'
Option B: This question, too, is in the affirmative about 'ever going there', but the answer contradicts it.
Option D: This question is worded differently from the response ('visited' has replaced 'been to').
Since we need to choose the best corresponding question, option D is incorrect.

It was raining heavily.

framing questions transformation of sentences english

  1. How was it raining?

  2. Was it raining?

  3. It was raining heavily, wasn't it?

  4. None of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A 'wh' question is asked for information about something.
The given sentence says how heavily 'it was raining'.
Option A: This is the most suitable question, as it asks "how was it raining", it wants information on how it was raining (scarcely or heavily).
Hence option A is correct.
Option B: This is a yes/no question. It does not ask for any information but asks if it was raining or not. Hence this isn't an appropriate question.
Option C: This is also a yes/no question that does not ask for information (about how it rained). It requires a confirmation - 'Yes, it was'.
Hence options B and C are incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.
