What is used to ask information about something.
The highlighted part of the sentence shows information about life.
Thus, option D is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect ones with respect to the given sentence.

  1. What does he do?

  2. How does he write?

  3. Who writes as well as he speaks?

  4. How does he speak?

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A question needs to be framed for which the underlined part, "as well as he speaks" is the answer.
So, the question should ask 'how' well he writes, the response to which is in comparison to how he speaks.
Option B: 'How does he write?' asks how he writes. The underlined part 'as well as he speaks' is a suitable response for the question 'how'. It answers by comparing similar qualities.
(The given sentence says that he writes well, the same as he speaks well.)
Hence option B is correct.
Option A: The question asks 'what'. However, the response is not appropriate for 'what' he does. So, the question is ambiguous. Hence, this question isn't appropriate for the underlined part.
Option C: This question asks about which person 'who'. The underlined part does not answer this question. It does not answer to 'who' writes as well as he speaks, but 'how'.
Option D: The underlined part does not answer the question 'how he speaks'. The response sounds incomplete for this question, because 'as well as' denotes a comparison with something else.
Instead, the response is for a question that asks 'how he writes'.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.

Explanation:

Wh-questions are used to ask certain types of questions. What, when, why, whom, who, whose, where and how are the wh-questions. 

Where is used to ask in or at what place or position. 
The highlighted part of the sentence shows the place 'vendor's stall'. 
Thus, option A is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect ones. 

Frame a question such that the underlined part of the sentence given is the answer:
The hill had one of the best views I have ever seen since it overlooked a beautiful creek in the woods. 

framing questions transformation of sentences english

  1. What did the hill have?

  2. How was the hill's view?

  3. Why did the hill have one of the best views?

  4. Which place did the hill overlook?

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A question needs to be framed for which the underlined part, "since it overlooked..." is the answer.
So, the question should ask 'why?', the response to which is a reason, because it begins with 'since'.
Option C: 'Why did the hill have one of the best views?' asks 'why?'. The underlined part is a response to that: 'since it overlooked a beautiful creek...',
Hence option C is correct.
Option A: The response is not 'what the hills have', but it is 'why the hills have one of the best views'.
Hence this question isn't appropriate for the underlined part.
Option B: This question asks 'how the view was'. The underlined part does not answer this question. The response tells 'why' and not 'how', the hills have one of the best views.
Option D: Similarly, the underlined part does not answer the question 'which place'. The response sounds incomplete for this question.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.

The highlighted part of the sentence shows information about the actions.
Thus, option D is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect ones with respect to the given sentence.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
____________ Dhoni still the number one international player?

framing questions transformation of sentences english

  1. How

  2. Does

  3. Has

  4. Is

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The correct is Option D.

We are to use the suitable word that completes the given sentence which is in the question form.
Option A-HOW is used when one asks about the manner or style of anything, place or event.
Option B-DOES is the first person singular of the verb 'do'. There is nothing being done in the sentence by Dhoni. 
Option C-HAS is used to indicate possession or an experience. In the given sentence there is no such meaning conveyed.
Hence these 3 options are incorrect.
Option D- IS is a form of the verb 'be'. 'Be' is a word that indicates existence. The given sentence questions whether Dhoni is still the number one international player.
Hence using IS satisfies the meaning of the sentence and is the correct answer.

  1. Which

  2. When

  3. Where

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option B.

From the given options we have to choose the word that is used when one wishes to know the time of the occurrence of an event.
Option A-WHICH is used for asking particular information from a definite set.
Option C-WHERE is used for asking about a place or position.
Option D-WHAT is used for asking specific information.
None of the above words can be used to ask for the time of an event's occurrence.
Hence these options are not the correct answer.
Option B-WHEN is used when one asks about the time of the occurrence of an event.
Hence Option B is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
__________ you ever travelled in an aeroplane?

framing questions transformation of sentences english

  1. Has

  2. Have'nt

  3. Hasn't

  4. Haven't

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option D.

We are to choose the correct word that completes the sentence.
Have and has are both used in meaning of possession and experience. The only difference is that the doer of 'have' is in the first person and the doer of 'has' is in the third person.
In the given sentence the doer of the verb 'traveled' is 'you' - i.e. in the third person. Therefore the correct answer will be Option D -'HAVEN'T'.
The other options are incorrect because:
Option A and D are forms of 'has' and these can be used only if the doer of the sentence is in the first person. The doer of the verb is in the third person in the given sentence. Hence these 2 options are not the suitable answers.
Option B-HAVE'NT is no form of verb. The negation of 'have' is 'have not' and its contraction is 'haven't.
Hence Option D is the correct answer.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
___________ dress should I wear for the party tonight?

framing questions transformation of sentences english

  1. How

  2. Who

  3. Which

  4. When

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option C.

We are to choose the correct interrogative word from the given options.
We can make out from the sentence that the speaker has to choose a dress from a definite set of various dresses.
So the correct answer is the word that is used when one is to ask for information or things from a definite set.
Option A- HOW is used when one asks about a method or manner of something.
Option B- WHO is used when one asks about a particular person.
Option D- WHEN is used when one asks about the time of the occurrence of an event.
Hence these options are not the desirable answers since they are not used to ask for a particular thing from a set.
Option C-WHICH is used when one has to choose from a definite set. Here the speaker will use the word 'which' because he or she wishes to choose a single dress from various dresses.
Therefore Option C is the correct answer.

framing questions transformation of sentences english

  1. When

  2. Does

  3. Do

  4. What

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The correct answer is option C.

In the given sentence we are to choose the correct word that indicates the meaning of performance. The speaker wishes to know whether the listener likes to drink milk twice daily.
Option A WHEN is used when one wishes to ask about the time period.
Option B DOES is a form of the verb Do and is used when the subject of the verb is in the third person.
Option D-WHAT is used when one wishes to demand any kind of specific information. In the given sentence the speaker demands information related to performance. Hence WHAT cannot be used in the meaning of performance.
Hence these 3 options are incorrect.
Option C -DO is used to indicate the meaning of performance and is used when the doer is in the first person. This correctly complies with the given sentence and hence is the correct answer.
