That is used to introduce a restrictive relative clause.
Which is used to introduce a non-restrictive relative clause.
Example
The garden, that is adjacent to my house is beautiful.
The garden, which is adjacent to my house is beautiful.

In the first one the use of that implies that of all the gardens around my house, the one adjacent to my house is beautiful. It is a restrictive clause because it limits the scope of the noun i.e. garden.

In the second one, the purpose of the sentence is to convey that the garden is beautiful. However, by introducing clause i.e. which is adjacent to my house, the writer intends to present additional information to describe the noun i.e. garden.

The answer would be D . As the noun ends with the letter 's' thus here we apply the plural possessive form of the noun . So the possessive form of John Keats will be John Keats'.

The correct answer is a,an (option B), as the sound of "E" in European is like "Y" and we use an with letters which have a vowel sound. As the word Asian has the sound of "A" in the first letter, an will be used with it.

B is the correct answer

It should be B because ''E'' sounds like ''Y'' as you know ''Y'' is not a vowel so it is B.

Ans 6:

Class : Class 4
the answer should be c because European ,Asian both start from vowels

"sell" is a quasi-passive verb which is used in active form but with passive force. e.g: Sugar sells cheap here. Sugar tastes sweet. So, answer (A) is also correct.

The answer is preoccupied-Class

Ans 2:

Class : Class 7
i also think that the correct answer is preoccupied

Ans 3:

Class : Class 10
preoccupied

Ans 4:

Class : Class 7
Preoccupied is synonymous to busy and should be considered a right answer

Ans 5:

Class : Class 7
The answer should be preoccupied as being active doesn't always mean someone's busy.

Ans 6:

Class : Class 8
It is preoccupied.. Coz being active doesn't always mean being busy..

Ans 7:

Class : Class 9
Checked on google, preoccupy is correct

Ans 8:

Class : Class 9
I believe it should be Preoccupied. It is more appropriate.

Ans 9:

Class : Class 8
yes, I too think it should be preoccupied. Being active means to do extra-curricular activities, sports etc.

Ans 10:

Class : Class 9
the ans is preoccupiedimagine if i sayi am busyand i am preoccupiedand i am i am activeacive means ready to do or in energectic modenot busy

Ans 11:

Class : Class 7
I think both preoccupied and active are correct in different context

Ans 12:

Class : Class 9
preoccupied is correct. for example, the phone line is busy.-the phone line is preoccupied

Ans 13:

Class : Class 7
I think that both Active and Preoccupied are applicable in different situations, hence both are valid options. This invalidates the question as the whole point is that the questions are supposed to have one answer.

Ans 14:

Class : Class 9
pre-occupied shoul be correct??

Ans 15:

Class : Class 5
I too, think PREOCCUPIED should be appropriate

Ans 16:

Class : Class 7
I think preoccupied should be correct

Ans 17:

Class : Class 7
I too think answer should be C preoccupied but on the website it is given busy.

Ans 18:

Class : Class 8
Active means you are willing to do something with enthusiasm but preoccupied means you are currently focusing on something else and cannot attend any other task

Ans 19:

Class : Class 7
Yes, answer should be preoccupied

Ans 20:

Class : Class 10
Yeah

Ans 21:

Class : Class 7
aren't both preoccupied and active considered synonyms of busy

Ans 22:

Class : Class 8
It is supposed to be PREOCCUPIED

Ans 23:

Class : Class 7
i feel like both active and preoccupied are correct in different situations, like Ananyag said.

Ans 24:

Class : Class 7
The answer should be preoccupied.

Ans 25:

Class : Class 7

Ans 26:

Class : Class 8
Being active can also mean to be energetic or full of stamina. Not only busy

Ans 27:

Class : Class 7
Ananyag is correct

Ans 28:

Class : Class 6
Preoccupied should be correct.

Hello Mayank Gupta. Akash here. The answer is A - Active.

Ans 30:

Class : Class 7
Should be preoccupied....

Ans 31:

Class : Class 7
I think answer C should be correct. For example- The phone line is preoccupied.Both option A and C are correct

Ans 32:

Class : Class 7
EVEN IN GOOGLE DICTIONARY ITS SAYING PREOCCUPIED

Ans 33:

Class : Class 10

Ans 34:

Class : Class 9
Yes, it must be C) Preoccupied... because that's synonymous to busy more than active

Ans 35:

Class : Class 8
preoccupied is quite similar to busyso i think the answer is marked wrong

Ans 36:

Class : Class 10
preoccupied should be the answer as active means you are ready to do something but preoccupied means that you are engrossed in some work

Ans 37:

Class : Class 10

Ans 38:

Class : Class 7
Preoccupied is more suitable

Ans 39:

Class : Class 9
I also think that preoccupied is the correct answer.

Ans 40:

Class : Class 9
Preoccupied

Ans 41:

Class : Class 9
I think preoccupied is absolutely right (mostly, to be specific)!

Ans 42:

Class : Class 9
selva , u r wrong. it's preoccupied as synonym of busy is preoccupied

Ans 43:

Class : Class 7
Shouldn't the answer be preoccupied ... because Preoccupied is literally the right synonym for busy . It shows the same in Oxford dictionary as well as Google dictionary

Ans 44:

Class : Class 8
YUP ANSWER IS PREOCCUPIED

Read the following passages and answer the questions that follow :
One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided since the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey. So, the farmer invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed shovels, and began to shovel dirt into the well.
All the other farm animals were very upset about this, because the donkey was their friend. But they discovered there was nothing they could do to help him. At first, when the donkey realised what was happening, he cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw.
With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off, and take a step up on the dirt as it piled up. As the farmer’s neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well, and trotted off!
Moral : Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. But each trouble can be a stepping stone. What happens to you isn’t nearly as how you react to it. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not giving up!
The other farm animals were upset because _________.

A the donkey was their friend
B they were unable to do anything
C both A and B
D none of the above


The animals were upset that their friend, the donkey was about to die, not for they could not do anything.
