  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Pick out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
    I live in an old, tattered hut.
    Solution
    A noun phrase is a group of words containing a noun, and functions as a subject, object or object of preposition. In the given sentence, "old, tattered hut" is a phrase that contains two adjectives that modify the noun "hut"; hence it's a noun phrase and option D is correct. "I live" is a clause as it's made up of a subject and verb. Hence it's not a noun phrase and option A is incorrect. "Live" is a verb, it's not a noun phrase, hence option B is incorrect. "In an" is a prepositional phrase, not a noun phrase, hence option C is incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Which word/phrase is the subjective complement in the following statement?
    Your package has been damaged.
    Solution
    A subject complement is an adjective, a noun or any phrase that follows a linking verb and gives more information about the subject. In the given sentence, "damaged" is an adjective that gives information about the condition of the subject, "Your package". Note that the word, "damaged' follows the linking verb, "has been". Hence option C is correct and A is incorrect because it's the subject itself. "Has been" is a verb, "has" being an auxiliary and "been" being the main verb, hence option B is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the right answer is C.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Pick out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
    Both the thieves have fled with the jewels.
    Solution
    A noun phrase is a group of words containing a noun and functioning as a subject, object or object of preposition. A noun phrase is often the noun or pronoun itself. "Both the thieves" is a noun phrase because it contains a quantifier "both" that modifies the noun "thieves"; also, it is the subject of the given sentence. Hence option A is correct. "Thieves" is a noun, but it's a part of the noun phrase which is complete only with the quantifier. Hence "thieves" isn't the subject here, it isn't a noun phrase and option B is incorrect. "Have fled" is a verb phrase, made up of the helping verb "have" that determines the tense of a sentence, and the main verb "fled". It isn't a noun phrase and hence option C is incorrect. "With the jewels" is a prepositional phrase containing the preposition "with"; it's not a noun phrase and hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the word/phrase that is the adverbial qualification/extension in the predicate:
    All the cousins have gone to shop.
    Solution
    The part of a sentence excluding the subject is the predicate. The verb in the predicate is often modified by an adverb or its equivalent, known as the adverbial qualification in that predicate.
    In the given sentence, "to shop" is an infinitive; infinitives can modify verbs, hence performing as adverbs. Here it modifies the verb " have gone"; hence it is an adverbial qualification and option D is correct. "All" is a determiner that modifies the subject "the cousins" and "have gone" is the verb, where "have" is an auxiliary verb and "gone" is the main verb. Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
    We are looking for a man with a gun.
    Solution
    A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option D)a man with a gun is correct as man is a noun here and with a gun is a prepositional phrase functioning as a post modifier. The other options are wrong as a noun phrase cannot have a subject, a verb, or a phrasal verb(looking for). The correct answer is D)a man with a gun.
