Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose which of the following underlined part of the sentence has an error. If there is no error in the sentence then select option E.
A. Shipwrecked on a desert island, coconuts and B. other fruits C. formed the basis of the D. sailors diet

A
A

B
B

C
C

D
D

E
No error

Solution

Shipwrecked qualifies the sailors. Hence, these should be placed together. Therefore, Option A is correct, as the word shipwrecked is place in the wrong part of the clause. The rest of the options do not contain any errors in the sentence, hence these are not suitable.
Question 2
1 / -0

Identify the type of clause underlined in the following sentence:

The reason why I left is confidential.

A
Adverb Clause of Purpose or Reason

B
Adverb Clause of Manner

C
Relative Clause

D
Noun Clause

Solution

Relative clause adds extra information about a noun by using "who", 'what", "why" and other questioning words. Hence Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not fit this description, hence incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Select the most appropriate word which can substitute the given description:
Matter written by hand.

A
Manuscript

B
Sculpture

C
Inscription

D
Monument

Solution

A 'manuscript' is a book, document, or piece of music written by hand rather than typed or printed. Hence, option A is correct.

'Sculpture' is the art of making two- or three-dimensional representation of something. It is done by carving stone or wood or by casting metal or plaster. 'Inscription' means 'engraving'. It refers to words that are written or cut in something (like stone). 'Monument' is a statue, building, or other structure erected to commemorate a notable person or event.
As the meanings of the above three words, do not mean the same as 'matter written by hand', options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Daniel's lost keys were found in a drawer in the desk on which the dog biscuits lay eaten by his child.

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence.

A
NO CHANGE

B
Daniel's lost keys were found in a drawer by his child in the desk on which the dog biscuits lay eaten.

C
Daniel's lost keys were found in a drawer in the desk by his child on which the dog biscuits lay eaten.

D
Daniel's lost keys were found by his child in a drawer in the desk on which the dog biscuits lay eaten.

Solution

The clause "Daniel's...found" qualifies "his child" and "the desk...eaten" qualifies "drawer". Hence these should be grouped together. Therefore Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal, hence incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Since then, I have received permission to reprint the photograph from the photographer's family.

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence.

A
NO CHANGE

B
I have received since then permission to reprint the photograph from the photographer's family.

C
Since then, I have received permission from the photographer's family to reprint the photograph.

D
Since then, from the photographer's family, I have received permission to reprint the photograph.

Solution

Since "from the photographer's family" is qualified by "I...permission", these should be placed close together. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this goal, or do not form a coherent meaning, hence incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Identify the type of clause underlined in the following sentence:

The road where the shooting took place is now closed.

A
Adverb Clause of Time

B
Adverb Clause of Place

C
Relative Clause

D
Noun Clause

Solution

Relative clause adds extra information about a noun by using "who", 'what", "why" and other questioning words. Hence Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not fit this description, hence incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the correct meaning for each of the phrases.
Sine die

A
without setting a fixed day

B
by voice vote

C
applying mathematical concepts to solve a difficult problem

D
signing legal documents before death

Solution

The Latin phrase "Sine die" literally means "without day" and contextually, without assigning a day for a further meeting or hearing, that is not setting a particular day. For example, Congress concluded the second session by adjourning sine die. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the correct meaning of the phrase.
De jure

A
here and there

B
as per law

C
small details

D
in the same place

Solution

De jure (adjective, adverb) Latin word is a legal term which means a state of affairs that is in compliance with the law, that is, officially designated. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express the meaning, hence, incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the correct meaning for each of the phrases.
Prima facie

A
the most important

B
that which comes first

C
at first view

D
the face that is young

Solution

Since the Latin phrase Prima facie means based on the first encounter or at first sight, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not indicate the flawed part, hence, incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence from the given alternatives. Indicate your option.
That magnificent ______ temple was constructed by the Chinese. [Basic]

A
eight-centuries-old

B
eight-century's-old

C
old-eight-centuries

D
eight-century-old

Solution

In an adjectival phrase, number is preceded by the quality and it is usually expressed in singular, that is, eight followed by century which is followed by old. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence, incorrect.
