5 th Unit: B-Reading: storeyed houseII - Para No: 29 from the List
Correct (22): The conventional three-portioned house was taken up.
Explanation: The earlier sentence is in past tense so the passive voice, must be in past tense “was taken,” not “is taken.”
Is ❌ (present tense)
Was ✔ (past tense to match the story)
Correct (23): … the walls rose rapidly.
Explanation: The past tense of “rise” is “rose,” not “risen.”
rised ❌ (not a word)
risen ❌ (past participle, needs “had”)
rose ✔ (simple past)
Correct (24): … was a little elevated…
Explanation: The word “little” needs an article before it. So we say “a little,” not “an little.”
Correct (25): … could be reached by stairs…
Explanation: We use “by” when talking about the method or way of reaching something.
from stairs ❌
by stairs ✔
Correct (26): … No one could guess from outside…
Explanation: The meaning is that people looking from outside the house could not see the first storey, so the correct word is “outside,” not “inside.”
