Passage A: Basic & Universal Rules (Questions 1 to 5)

To transform an affirmative assertive sentence into an interrogative sentence without changing meaning, we use a --select--negative interrogativeaffirmative imperativeexclamatory form. Indefinite pronouns like 'nobody', 'none', or 'no one' are replaced directly by --select--WhoWhatWhich. When an assertive sentence contains 'everyone', 'everybody', or 'all', it is changed into the --select--Who ... not?What ... not?Where ... not? pattern. Sentences expressing universal truths (e.g., 'Honesty is the best policy') are made interrogative using --select--negative interrogativespositive interrogativesimperative phrases to preserve truth value. Conversely, when the original assertive sentence is already negative, we remove the negative word and form a --select--affirmative interrogativenegative interrogativeprohibition sentence.

Passage B: Word Substitutions & Structural Rules (Questions 6 to 10)

In assertive sentences, the word 'nothing' is changed into --select--anythingsomethingeverything in an interrogative sentence. The adverb 'never' is replaced by --select--everalwaysfrequently. When an assertive sentence contains 'no', it is replaced by --select--anysomemany. For sentences beginning with 'there is' or 'there are', we place the auxiliary verb with 'not' in --select--contracted formplural formpassive voice before 'there'. Finally, sentences containing the modal verb 'must' (e.g., 'We must obey our parents') form interrogatives using --select--Mustn'tCan'tWouldn't before the subject.
