Each question’ below has a sentence, from the choices provided, identify the one which best restates the given sentence and mark its number as the answer.
14. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
- Option : C
- Explanation : Uneasily does not denote a state, which is required in the context. 'Wearing a crown' denotes that the head is doing it, 'is wearing' denotes a continuous action, which is impossible, as the head cannot do it. Hence choice (c) restates the given sentence correctly.
15. Had I been a little early, I would not have missed the train.
- Option : A
- Explanation : All the statements have the correct combination of tenses. So, we need not check it. Let us find the errors in other statements. 'Early than now' and 'earlier' suggest that I reached early; in that case, I did not miss the train. So, choices (b), (c), and (d) do not state the same idea as in the question statement. Hence correct choice is (a).
