    Option C is incorrect: 'impudently' is an adverb.

    Option D is incorrect: It's irrelevant.

    Nobody likes a person with a short-temper.

    An adjective phrase can be replaced by an adjective with the same meaning.

    Option A is incorrect: 'tempered' means angry. Hence the meaning of the sentence is changed.

    Options B and C are correct: 'quick-tempered' and 'short-tempered' both mean 'with a short temper' (one who easily gets angry). Thus they are correct adjectives for the adjective phrase given. 

    Hence option D is correct.

     The article contains many quotations from the Bible.

    Option A  incorrect: 'Bible' is the name of the book, hence it's a noun, not an adjective.

    Option B is correct: 'biblical quotations' means quotations from the Bible, thus it's a correct adjective for the adjective phrase given. 

    Option C is correct: 'of the Bible' is also an adjective phrase that means the same.

    Option D is incorrect: It's irrelevant.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the subject of the following sentence:
    About a century ago, man could attribute his poverty to his bad luck.
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer. Man is the main topic of discussion in the sentence. Man is being talked about. Options B and C are objects to the verb attribute and the preposition to, respectively. Option D is the adverb clause, modifying the time of the verb could attribute. Hence, the subject of the given sentence is man. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the complete subject in the following sentence.

    On the topmost shelf of that cupboard are lying several books written by them.
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer. The complete subject is indeed several books written by them, since they are being talked about in the sentence, justified by the use of the verb are lying. Option A is a part of the subject, not the entire subject of the sentence. The rest of the sentence is what is being said about the subject,i.e., it is the predicate. The statements of options C and D are parts of the predicate and, thus, cannot be the subject. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify the subject of the following sentence.

    At the superficial level, science and religion appear to be opposed to each other.
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer. It is being talked about in the sentence. Furthermore, it qualifies as a subject because the verb "appear" denotes the work being done by the subject. Option B is the adverbial phrase modifying the the condition of the occurring. Option C, science, is not the subject because the sentence  talks about science and religion collectively, without separating either of them. Option D is the object to the preposition to. Hence, Option A is indeed the subject in the given sentence. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the subject of the following sentence.

    Read the works of such thinkers as Bertrand Russell, Vivekananda and Aurobindo Ghosh for guidance.
    Solution
    Option D is the correct answer. The sentence begins with the verb read, indicating a command directed at someone, presumably the implied subject, the pronoun you. Option A is a verb and cannot be a subject. Option B includes the verb with the phrase the works which is the object of the preposition of. Option C contains part of the matter said to someone, here, the subject. Thus, it is part of the predicate. Therefore, Options A,B and C are all incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Identify the subject of the following sentence:

    Where could I find their works?
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer. The pronoun I is the topic of discussion, which also does the work in the sentence, denoted by the verb could find. Option A is the interrogative pronoun, Option C the object to the pronoun their, whereas Option D is the object to the verb find. Therefore, Option B, I is indeed the subject.
