    ...view full instructions

    2.________
    Solution
    The sentence requires a verb synonym of "make sincere efforts", which is persevere. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence, incorrect.  
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option: 

    They found a world of ____________ between what he said and what he did. 
    Solution
    An idiom or idiomatic expression is a type of informal English that has a meaning different from the literal meaning of the words (in the expression).
    Option C: When 'difference' is placed in the sentence, the words 'world of difference' form an idiomatic expression. It means 'a stark contrast'.
    It is relevant to the sentence, as the words "between what he said and what he did" suggest. Hence C is correct.
    Option A: The word 'chaos' forms a literal meaning in this sentence (it means 'confusion or disorganisation'). The meaning isn't quite clear. It does not represent the contrast between 'what he said' and 'what he did'. Hence A is incorrect.
    Options B and D: Similarly, 'bitterness' and 'hope' aren't relevant to the sentence. The former means 'anger and resentment'; the latter means 'the belief that something good will happen'.
    Hence B and D are also incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify the attribute of the subject from the given sentence:
    The young nurse got pretty scared when the patient started screaming.
    Solution
    The word or phrase which qualifies the subject is called its attribute. Here "young" qualifies "nurse", hence Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not qualify the subject, hence incorrect. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Identify the type of noun clause in the following sentence:

    Be sure to send whoever bought this thank-you note.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the noun clause does not follow a linking verb. Therefore, it is not a subject complement. Neither does it rename any noun in the case of an appositive. Therefore, options C and D are incorrect.

    In the given sentence the transitive verb is "send". It follows that the direct object of the sentence would be "thank-you note", making option B incorrect as well. The noun clause "whoever bought this" indicates to whom the action of the transitive verb is performed, making it an indirect object. Thus, option A is correct.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Out of the four choices, choose the one which can be substituted for the given sentence:
    One who makes maps and charts -
    Solution
    A. A geologist is a scientist who studies the solid and liquid matter that constitutes the Earth as well as the processes that shape it.
    B. A geographer is a scholar whose area of study is geography, the study of Earth's natural environment and human society.
    C. A cartographer is a person who makes maps and charts. The practice of making maps and charts is called cartography.
    D. A politician is a person who is professionally involved in politics, especially as a holder of an elected office.
    Hence, the correct option is C. Cartographer
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the option which best expresses the meaning of the given phrase.
    An apple of discord.
    Solution
    Choice B is correct as it means the reason for quarrel according to Greek mythology. Choice A is wrong as 'discord' means 'quarrel' and not 'wealth'. Choice C is wrong as 'discord' does not mean 'happiness' Choice D is wrong as 'discord' does not mean illness.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the subject attribute in the given sentence:
    Barking dogs seldom bite.
    Solution

    The word or phrase which qualifies the subject is called its attribute. Here "barking" qualifies "dogs", hence Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not qualify the subject, hence incorrect. 

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Complete the following sentence with a commonly used noun from the options given below:
    The little child would have drowned but for the lifeguard, who came in at the ___________ of time. 
    Solution
    The given sentence means that" 'The little child would have drowned. However, he or she did not because the lifeguard came in just in time and saved the child". 
    The phrase, 'nick of time' means 'at the last moment' or 'just in time'.  The word, 'nick' meaningfully fills the blank as it conveys that the lifeguard came in just in time. Hence, option C is correct.
    The word, 'ring' is a noun, which refers to a circular object. It is also a verb which means 'make a sound'. Another meaning of the verb is 'surround (someone or something), especially for protection or containment'. Given these meanings, the word, 'ring' does not fill the blank meaningfully. Hence, option A is incorrect. 
    The phrase, 'right of time' conveys no meaning. A more meaningful phrase using the word 'right' would be '... the lifeguard who came in at the right time'. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect as option C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank from the given alternatives.
    There is no reason __________ over spilled milk.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the sentence(s) containing an adverb phrase: [Advanced]
    Solution
    An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb.
    Option C is correct. The phrase "over the sea" tells us where the fishermen went sailing. That is, it modifies the verb "sailing" and thus is an adverb phrase.
    Options A and D are incorrect. In A, the phrase "from shower steam" is not an adverb phrase as it does not modify the verb "swollen". Rather, the sentence contains a prepositional phrase that acts as an adjective. The prepositional phrase, "on the bathroom floor" modifies the noun "book". In D, the prepositional phrase is "with his hammer" where the preposition is "with". the object is "hammer" and "his" is a modifier of that object.
    Option B is incorrect. There is no phrase that modifies the verb "smash". Rather, the sentence contains an infinitive phrase: to smash the spider.
