Answer 2

To change the given general questions into disjunctive questions, we need to rephrase them in a way that allows for a choice between two or more options. Here are the revised disjunctive questions:

1. Is Doctor Sandford still at the hospital or has he left? 2. Does your grandmother live in the country or in the city? 3. Do you have many English books at home or just a few? 4. Are there any new words in this text or is it all familiar to you? 5. Do you usually have dinner with your family or do you eat alone? 6. Do you want to see this new film or are you not interested? 7. Can your cousin play the piano or does he have a different musical talent? 8. Does he not study German or does he actually study it? 9. Is there a study in your flat or is it used for a different purpose? 10. Must we sign this paper at once or can it wait? 11. Do little children sleep twice a day or do they have a different sleep pattern? 12. Are his parents not in Moscow now or have they returned? 13. Do all the members of your family read the Times or do some prefer other newspapers? 14. Do you not remember all the new words or do you remember some of them?

By introducing alternative options, these disjunctive questions allow for a wider range of possible answers.
