Best answer

Answer: B1 — (1) (i), (2) (iv), (3) (ii); B2 — She is shorter than her brother.

B1. (1) (i) Nandini asked Raj where he had gone during the holidays last year. (The reporting verb is in the past, so the simple past ‘did go’ becomes past perfect ‘had gone’; the question becomes a statement, so the subject comes before the verb.)
(2) (iv) What became a natural choice? (When ‘what’ asks about the subject, no auxiliary is needed and the verb stays ‘became’.)
(3) (ii) Unless children play any games, they will become dull and lazy. (‘Unless’ means ‘if … not’, so the negative ‘don’t’ is dropped and the rest of the sentence is unchanged.)

B2. She is shorter than her brother. (‘Shorter’ is already a comparative; ‘more’ must not be added — double comparative is wrong.)
