Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that expresses a condition by a participle phrase.

    I should be able to pass the exam if I focus on my studies from now.
    Solution
    A phrase is a group of words that is an important component in any sentence. The participle phrase will begin with a present or past participle. The present participle phrase ends with -ing. The past participle phrase ends with -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n.
    Thus, option B is the correct answer as 'provided' is used as a past participle. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Change the following conditional sentence using a participle:
    The suspect was promised a lighter sentence if he cooperated with the police.
    Solution
    A participle is a form of a verb that ends with an -ed or -ing, like 'work', 'worked' and 'working'.
    The given sentence must be re-written with a participle.
    Option B: This sentence begins with a participle 'promised'. Also, it changes the conditional sentence into an assertive, simple one. Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Unless' also refers to condition, so the sentence has not been changed from conditional to assertive. Also, this sentence does not use any participle to change the conditional.
    Option C: The words in the sentence have been changed; the suspect is not told to 'confess', but to 'cooperate'.
    Hence options A and C are incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in B.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    I can lend you my book, but you must return it to me tomorrow.
    Solution

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Which of the following sentences uses the participle phrase to express a condition?
    Solution
    A phrase is a group of words that is an important component in any sentence. The participle phrase will begin with a present or past participle. The present participle phrase ends with -ing. The past participle phrase ends with -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n.
    Option C uses the participle to express a condition as 'provided' is used as a past participle. Thus, option C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the option with the correct placement of the underlined word:
    Whatever happened your was doing.
    Solution
    An adjective is usually placed before the noun it modifies. The underlined adjective "your" is in the possessive case, it must be placed before the noun/gerund it qualifies.
    In the given sentence, the adjective is not placed before the gerund it modifies 'doing'; it's placed before the verb 'was'. Hence the sentence requires change and option A is incorrect.
    Option B is the most suitable option as the adjective modifies the gerund here, and the word 'doing', which generally performs as a verb, is correctly positioned as the gerund. Hence B is correct.
    Option C is incorrect because the adjective is not placed before the gerund, and the gerund is now placed such that it seems to be a verb.
    Option D is incorrect as well since the gerund 'doing' is placed before the adjective, such that it functions as a verb, making the sentence look incomplete.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Name the figure of speech that involves the inversion of the typical word order of a sentence: [Advanced]
    Solution
    An effective way to make language more emphatic when using English is by inverting a sentence's normal word order.
    For example, 'I have never eaten such a flaky croissant.' is a regular sentence, with the word order: subject (I) + verb (have never eaten) + object (such a flaky croissant).
    To add emphasis, the auxiliary verb comes before the subject: Never have I eaten such a flaky croissant. ('Never' is an adverb and the main verb is 'eaten')
    From the options, 'Anastrophe' names this figure of speech, 'anastrophe' is a Greek word that means 'turning back'. Hence option B is correct.
    Option A is incorrect because 'apostrophe' is a punctuation mark (').
    Option C is incorrect because personification is a figure of speech that involves giving life-like qualities to inanimate objects. (The wind howls.)
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in B.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Change from direct to indirect speech.
    "I had just completed the work when Suman called," she said. [Advanced]
    Solution
    Indirect speech is used to report what someone has said. It is presented without inverted commas. 
    Past Perfect remains past perfect tense. The structure is: Subject + had + past participle form of the verb + object. 
    Thus, the sentence would become: She said that she had just completed the work when Suman called. 
    Hence, option A is the correct answer. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Change the following sentence into an assertive one:
    Alas! My friend is now no more. [Advanced]
    Solution
    In the given sentence "alas!" is an exclamation used to express grief. It is important to retain this emotion when transforming the sentence since it gives us an idea of how the speaker feels about their friend's passing.

    Options C and D are statements. However they lack the expression of grief that is present in the given sentence. Thus they are incorrect. Option B, too, is incorrect since "alas", by definition, is an exclamation that cannot be included.

    Option A is the correct answer. Not only is it a statement, but it also retains the expression of grief that is present in the given sentence.
