Answers with Explanations

Q1. ✅ C — rain. The nominative case is used when a noun functions as the subject of the sentence. The heavy rain is the subject — it is performing the action of destroying. Crops is the direct object (in objective case). Field is the object of the preposition in (also in objective case). Heavy is an adjective. The nominative case noun is always the doer of the action in the sentence.

Q2. ✅ D — deer. The objective case is used when a noun functions as the direct object of a verb. The deer directly received the action of being chased. Ask: chased whom? — the deer. The lion is the subject (nominative case). Forest is the object of the preposition across and is also in the objective case. The objective case noun is always the receiver of the verb's action.

Q3. ✅ B — nation's. The possessive case shows ownership or association. Nation's indicates that the progress belongs to or is associated with the nation. The apostrophe 's is the standard marker of the possessive case for singular nouns. It always answers the question whose progress? Possessive case nouns can refer to people, animals, organisations, countries, and even abstract concepts.

Q4. ✅ C — the broken chair. The direct object is the noun or noun phrase that directly receives the action of the verb. Ask: repaired what? — the broken chair. This is the direct object. The carpenter is the subject. Repaired is the verb. Carefully is an adverb of manner modifying the verb. The direct object always answers the question what or whom immediately after the transitive verb.

Q5. ✅ B — the winner. The indirect object is the person who indirectly receives the action of the verb — the recipient or beneficiary. Ask: awarded to whom? — the winner (indirect object). Ask: awarded what? — a gold medal (direct object). The indirect object usually comes before the direct object in a sentence when no preposition is used. It always answers to whom or for whom.

Q6. ✅ D — sun. The rising sun is in the nominative case because it functions as the subject of the sentence — it is performing the action of filling the sky with golden light. Sky is the direct object (in objective case). Light is the object of the preposition with (also in objective case). Golden is an adjective. The nominative case identifies the noun that performs or initiates the action.

Q7. ✅ C — doctor's. The possessive case shows ownership or association. Doctor's indicates that the advice belongs to or comes from the doctor. The apostrophe 's is the clear marker of the possessive case for singular nouns. It answers the question whose advice? The possessive case is also called the genitive case and is used to show a relationship of belonging between two nouns.

Q8. ✅ B — all the plants. The direct object is the noun or noun phrase that directly receives the action of the verb. Ask: watered what? — all the plants. This is the direct object. She is the subject. Watered is the verb. In the garden is a prepositional phrase of place and this morning is an adverb of time — neither of these is the direct object of the sentence.

Q9. ✅ A — the beggar. The indirect object is the person who indirectly receives the action of the verb — the recipient or beneficiary. Ask: offered to whom? — the beggar (indirect object). Ask: offered what? — some food and water (direct object). The indirect object comes before the direct object when no preposition is used. It answers the question to whom the action was directed.

Q10. ✅ D — doctor. The objective case is used when a noun functions as the object of a verb or preposition. The doctor is the direct object of the verb thanked. Ask: thanked whom? — the doctor. She is the subject (nominative case). Help is the object of the preposition for and is also in the objective case. The objective case covers both direct objects and objects of prepositions.
