Correct answer: OH-
  • A. Option A
  • B. Option B
  • C. Option C
  • D. Option D

Explanation: This is correct option as it contains functional group of carboxylic acids.

Correct answer: Option A
  • A. methyl formate
  • B. methyl acetate
  • C. ethyl acetate
  • D. ethyl formate

Explanation: Option D is the correct answer. Ethyl formate is an ester with the formula HCOOCH2CH3.When hydrolyzed, it produces ethyl alcohol…

  • D. HClO3

Explanation: The increasing order of acid strength HClO4,HClO3,HClO2,HClO is: HClO<HClO2<HClO3<HClO4.

Correct answer: HClO4
  • A. Alanine
  • B. Glycine
  • C. Aspartic acid
  • D. Aniline

Explanation: Aniline is not an amino acid. It is an organic compound consisting of a benzene ring with an amino group (-NH2) attached to it.

Correct answer: Aniline
  • A. CnHnCOOH
  • B. CnH2n+1COOH
  • C. CnH2nCOOH
  • D. CnH2n-2COOH

  • B. Oxalic acid
  • C. Carbonic acid
  • D. Acetic acid

Explanation: Acetic acid is correct. Acetic acid, also known as ethanoic acid, is used in the manufacture of synthetic fibers, particularly in the…

Correct answer: Acetic acid
  • A. She said they had texted each other earlier in the day to say they loved each other.
  • B. She said they had texted one the other earlier in the day to say they loved each other.
  • C. She said they had texted each other earlier in the day to say they loved ourselves.
  • D. She said they had texted each other earlier in the day to say they loved each the other.

Explanation: "Each other" is used correctly to indicate reciprocal action between the two parties involved.

Correct answer: She said they had texted each other earlier in the day to say they loved each other.
  • A. Unfortunately, I had only a little friends those days, and they did not help me.
  • B. Unfortunately, I had only few friends those days, and they did not help me.
  • C. Unfortunately, I had only the few friends those days, and they did not help me.
  • D. Unfortunately, I had only a few friends those days, and they did not help me.

Explanation: The sentence is structured correctly, using the indefinite article "a" before "few" to indicate a small, indefinite number.

Correct answer: Unfortunately, I had only a few friends those days, and they did not help me.
