Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Identify the phrase(s) in the given sentence:
In the back of her mind, she knew that something had gone terribly wrong.

A
In the back of her mind

B
she knew

C
something had gone terribly wrong

D
she knew that something had gone terribly wrong

Solution

Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects.
Using option A will justify all the above rules. 'In the back of her mind' is a prepositional phrase as 'in and of' are the prepositions and 'mind' is the object.
Options B, C, and D are not prepositional phrases.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Question 2
1 / -0

Identify the noun phrase in the sentence:
There would always be a significant amount of change when the incredibly meticulous son of the owner would decide to pay a visit to the office.

A
There would always be, meticulous son of the owner

B
a visit to the office, There would always be

C
a significant amount of change, the incredibly meticulous son of the owner

D
when the incredibly meticulous son, a visit to the office

Solution

The phrase is the group of words in a sentence which forms a component in a clause.
Option C is a noun phrase. A noun phrase acts as a noun in the sentence which modifies a noun. It contains a noun and other associated words. Option C has 'significant' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'change' and 'incredibly meticulous' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'son of the owner'.
Thus, option C is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect.

Question 6
1 / -0

Identify the attribute of the subject from the given sentence:
The doubting policeman inspected the entire house.

A
Policeman

B
Doubting

C
entire

D
House

Solution

A subject must contain at least one noun in order to have an attribute.
A subject attribute is any part of speech that modifies the noun in the subject.
'The attribute of a noun may be an adjective, an article, a pronoun, a participle, an infinitive or a phrase.'
Option B: From these options, 'doubting' is a present participle that means 'sceptical'. It functions as an adjective. So, it modifies or describes the noun 'policeman'.
(Present participles, which are placed before nouns, function as adjectives. So they modify the nouns that follow.)
Hence, 'doubting' is an attribute of the subject "policeman" and option B is correct.
Option A: 'Policeman' is the noun. It's the head of the subject itself and hence cannot be an attribute (also called an enlargement).
Option C: 'Entire' is an adjective that modifies the object noun 'house'. Hence, it cannot modify the subject.
Option D: 'House' is a noun that functions as the object of the sentence. Hence it cannot be an attribute of a subject.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the appropriate noun clause to complete the sentence:

I asked my sister ____________.

A
where she was

B
where is she

C
where was she

D
None of the above

Solution

Noun clauses begin with wh-words like “where” and act as noun, here a place. Hence Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not act as a noun and use the wrong tense or act as questions, hence incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Identify which of the following is/are noun phrase(s).

A
the fat, contended feline

B
beside the gray and wearied window

C
too late to go back now

D
surprisingly true

Solution

The phrase is the group of words in a sentence which forms a component in a clause.
Option A is a noun phrase. A noun phrase acts as a noun in the sentence which modifies a noun. It contains a noun and other associated words.
Option A has 'fat, contended as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'feline'.
Thus, option A is the correct answer. Rest of the options are not the correct options.
Question 9
1 / -0

Identify which of the following is/are noun phrase(s).

A
terribly and unspeakably wrong

B
a harsh and uncanny sound

C
within the depths of the mind

D
of a more subtle nature

Solution

The phrase is the group of words in a sentence which forms a component in a clause.
Option B is a noun phrase. A noun phrase acts as a noun in the sentence which modifies a noun. It contains a noun and other associated words. Option B has 'harsh and uncanny' as a modifier which is modifying the noun 'sound'.
Thus, option B is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect ones.
Question 10
1 / -0

Complete the following proverb:
A wise enemy is better than ______.

A
A foolish relative

B
A foolish friend

C
A wise son

D
An intelligent father

Solution

The correct answer is option B.
The correct and complete proverb is A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.'
This means that a foolish friend causes us more harm than a wise enemy would.
There is a comparison of opposites in the proverb. Thus the opposite of a wise enemy is a foolish friend.
Hence option B is the correct answer and the other options are incorrect as they do not comply with the meaning of the proverb and also are not the opposite of a wise enemy.
