Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Pick out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
    How I would love a slice of nice fresh pound cake!
    Solution
    A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option D)slice of nice fresh pound cake is correct as cake is a noun here and a slice of a fresh pound function as a pre-modifier. The other options are wrong as a noun phrase cannot have a subject and must include a noun. The correct answer is D)slice of nice fresh pound cake.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the word/phrase that is the adverbial qualification/extension in the predicate:
    As the soldier arrived home, his dog wagged his tail frantically.
    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 sentence, "frantically" is an adverb of manner, it qualifies the verb "wagged". Hence it is the adverbial qualification and option D is correct. "As" is a conjunction, it is used in complex sentences, like the one given. "The soldier" is a subject and "wagged" is a verb that is being modified. Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Select the noun phrase from the given sentence:
    The blue house caught fire.
    Solution
    A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option B)the blue house is correct as house is a noun here which has an adjective (blue) as a pre-modifier with the determiner the. The other options are wrong as The blue, caught, and fire do not consist of a noun. The correct answer is B)the blue house.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Which word/phrase is the subjective complement in the following statement?
    The cake made by my friend looks so pretty.
    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, "pretty" is an adjective of quality that follows the linking verb "looks" and gives more information about the subject "The cake". Hence it is the subject complement. Based on this, option C is correct and A and B are incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the correct answer lies in option C.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Which word/phrase is the subjective complement in the following statement?
    The soup tastes sweet.
    Solution
    A subject complement is an adjective, a noun or a phrase that follows a linking verb and gives more information about the subject.
    In the given sentence, "sweet" is an adjective that complements the noun in the subject "soup", hence option C is correct. "The soup" is the subject itself and "tastes" is the verb. Therefore they cannot function as subject complements and options A and B are incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the correct option lies in C.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Pick out the subject attribute in the following sentence:
    Simon Samuels, the financial advisor, was caught laundering money for a drug lord.
    Solution
    The subject of a sentence is often modified by an adjective, or a word or words that function as an adjective. They are called enlargement or attributes.
    In the given sentence, the phrase "the financial advisor" is a noun in apposition. (When two nouns or noun phrases are placed side by side, one gives information about the other.) It also functions as an adjective, as it modifies the subject (Simon Samuels). Hence it is the attribute and option B is correct. Since option A is the subject itself, it is incorrect. "Was caught" is the verb here which cannot function as an attribute, hence option C is incorrect. "For a drug lord" is a fragment of the noun phrase "laundering money for a drug lord", which functions as the object. Hence it is a fragment of the object, so it cannot be an attribute and option D is incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Pick out the options that are true in relation to the given sentence:
    Dogs bark and howl in the middle of the night, every night.
    Solution
    The subject of a sentence is often modified by an adjective, or a word or words that function as an adjective. They are called enlargement or attributes.
    From the options, "Dogs" is the subject that performs the action "bark and howl", hence option A is incorrect. "Bark and howl" is the compound verb, and "in the middle of the night" is an adverbial phrase which modifies the verb, not the subject. Hence options B and C are also incorrect. Since the sentence does not have any other words that can qualify the subject, option D is correct. (Every night is an adverb phrase that modifies the verb.)
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Which word/phrase is the subjective complement in the following statement?
    Gordon Ramsay is an amazing chef.
    Solution
    A subject complement is an adjective, a noun or a pronoun that follows a linking verb and gives more information about the subject.
    In the given sentence, the noun phrase "an amazing chef" describes the subject "Garden Ramsay" and it follows the linking verb-'is'. Hence it is the subject complement and option C is correct. The subject cannot complement itself, hence option A is incorrect. "Is" is a verb, hence option B is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the correct answer lies in option C.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Pick out the subject attribute in the following sentence:
    White roses are my favourite.
    Solution
    The subject of a sentence is often modified by an adjective, or a word or words that function as an adjective. They are called enlargement or attributes.
    In the given sentence, "White" is an adjective that modifies the subject "roses", hence it's an attribute and option A is correct. "Roses" is the subject, it cannot attribute itself; "Are" is the verb and "my favourite" is the object, hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Which word/phrase is the subjective complement in the following statement?
    The thief ran.
    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, "the" is an article, "thief" is a noun that performs as the subject and "ran" is the verb. None of these perform as the subject complement, hence options A, B and C are incorrect. Because this sentence does not have a subject complement, option D is correct.
