Answer 1

Hint: In English, most sentences follow a similar structure: subject, verb, and object. The benefit of this structure is that it makes it clear to your reader who is performing the action and what the action's outcome is. In a sentence, the action is carried out by a subject.

Complete answer:
i) The gobar gas obtained by processing dung is used as fuel.
(Rewrite the sentence beginning with ‘people …….’.)
People use the gobar gas produced by dung processing as a source of energy.

ii) The consumption of milk in both urban and rural areas has risen sharply.
(Rewrite the sentence using the past perfect tense)
The consumption of milk in both urban and rural areas had risen sharply.

Past perfect tense –
The past perfect tense is used to describe events that occurred before another event. Imagine getting out of bed one morning and going outside to get your newspaper. You notice a mysterious message scrawled across your front door on your way back in: Tootles was here. How would you describe this moment later if you were telling this storey to your friends? You could say something along the lines of:
For instance, when I returned to the house, I discovered that someone named Tootles had vandalized my front door.

iii) The milk processing industry is a small one.
(Make it a complex sentence.)
 The industry that processes milk is a small one.

A complex sentence is one that contains one or more dependent clauses as well as an independent clause. While an independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, a dependent clause, despite having a subject and verb, cannot. Here are some complex sentence examples.

Note: Learning Sentence Structure: The Old and Broken Rules
i) As in English, the basic word order is subject, verb, and object.
ii) When a modal verb appears, such as "want to," "try to," and so on, the other verb is pushed to the end.
iii) The verb is also shunted to the end of "subordinate clauses."
