Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate word for the underlined words:
    Both Buddha and Mahavir lived at the same time. 
    Solution
    'Simultaneous' means 'occurring, operating, or done at the same time'. 'Coincident' means 'occurring together in space or time'. 'Synchronised' means 'cause to occur or operate at the same time or rate'. The given sentence refers to two people who lived at the same time. All these three adjectives are used to describe activities or events. They do not describe living things.  Hence, options A, C and D are incorrect.
    'Contemporary' means 'living or occurring at the same time'. As this word correctly describes the underlined phrase, option B is correct. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct option complete to the conversation. 
    Son : What if I don't make any good friends in the new school I'm joining next summer.
    Father : You can ______. Work for your exams now.
    Solution
    In the given conversation, the son expresses his worry about an imagined future. He wonders how he will manage in case he is not able to make good friends in the new school which he is going to join in future. Such a scenario may or may not happen. However, the son is worrying beforehand. The expression, 'cross the bridge when you come to it' means 'face difficulties as they happen and not worry unnecessarily about them beforehand'. Given this meaning, this is an appropriate expression which can be given as a reply by the father. This is because the father advises the son to work on his exams at that point in time. And not to worry about the future problems, which have so far not arisen. Hence, option B is the correct answer. 
    Option A: The expression, 'to vent one's spleen' means, 'to get rid of one's feelings of anger caused by someone or something by attacking someone or something else'. In the given conversation, the boy is not angry. He is worried. Hence, this expression cannot be an appropriate response by the father and option A is incorrect.
    Option C: The expression, 'to put your foot in your mouth' means 'to say or do something that you should not have, especially something that embarrasses someone else'. In the given conversation, the boy is expressing his worry. The father cannot, by way of response, ask the son to do something that embarrasses him. This expression is out of context and option C is incorrect.
    Option D: The expression, 'to change horses in midstream means 'to make major changes in an activity that has already begun'. In the given conversation, the son is not talking about changing an activity. He is only expressing his worry. Hence, this expression cannot be an appropriate response by the father and option D is incorrect.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence.
    They play football in the evening if ______.
    Solution
    The given sentence is a conditional sentence with the conjunction, 'if'. The main clause, 'They play football in the evening' is in simple present tense and expresses a habitual action. It means 'They usually play football in the evening'. The 'if clause' in such a conditional sentence should also be in simple present tense. 
    Option A: The clause, 'If they did not have any homework' is in past tense. 
    Option B: The clause, 'If they will not have any homework' is in future tense. 
    Hence, options A and B are incorrect.
    Both the options C and D are in simple present tense. However, the verb, 'does not' (or doesn't) is used with a third person singular subject. The subject in the main clause, i.e 'they' is in third person and is plural. Hence, option D is incorrect. 
    The verb, 'do not' (or don't) is used with a third person plural subject. As the subject (they) in the main clause is in third person and is plural, option C is correct.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate word for the underlined words:
    In old days, the king was considered all powerful. 
    Solution
    'Veteran' refers to a person who has had long experience in a particular field. 'Omnivorous' describes a living thing that feeds on a variety of food of both plant and animal origin. 'Omniscient' means 'knowing everything'. As these words have a meaning which is different from the underlined phrase, options A, C and D are incorrect.
    The word, 'omnipotent' means 'having unlimited power' or 'all powerful'. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the best option to complete the conversation:
    Rohan : Did you enjoy last night's party?
    Siya : Absolutely! We _____________.
    Solution
    An idiomatic expression is a type of informal English where the meaning of the expression is different than the literal meaning of the expression.
    Option C: The idiom "had a whale of a time" means 'to have an exceptionally fun, exciting and amusing experience'. It relates to the conversation, (enjoy last night's party) hence C is correct.
    Option A: The idiom means 'it is the appropriate time', this meaning is not relevant to the sentence, hence this option is incorrect.
    Option B: 'Behind the times' means 'behaving in an outdated or unpopular way'; it does not provide the required meaning to the conversation. Hence B is incorrect.
    Option D: 'A hell of a time' describes something that is very difficult or unpleasant. It has an opposite meaning to the context of the sentence, which has the words "did you enjoy... Absolutely!". Hence D is incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate word for the given description:
    A disease which is spread by contact.
    Solution
    'Contagious' is an adjective which is used to describe a disease that spreads from one person or organism to another, typically by direct contact. Hence, option D is correct.
    'Infectious' is an adjective which is used to describe a disease that is liable to be transmitted to people, organisms, etc., through the environment. An infectious disease need not spread only by contact. It can spread through micro-organisms in the air or water as well. Hence, this is not the most appropriate word for the given description. Hence, option A is incorrect.  
    'Spreading' is a verb (present continuous tense) which means 'covering, reaching, or having an effect on a wider or increasing area'. 'Epidemic' refers to a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time. Given these meanings, options B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate word for the given description :
    A government by the nobles is called.
    Solution
    'Aristocracy' refers to the highest class in certain societies. It typically comprises of people of noble birth holding hereditary titles and offices. Given this meaning, this word is most appropriate for the given description. Hence, option A is correct.

    'Democracy' is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. 'Autocracy' is a system of government by one person with absolute power. 'Bureaucracy' is a system of government in which most of the important decisions are taken by state officials rather than by elected representatives. None of these words describe a government run by nobles. Hence, options B, C and D are incorrect.
