Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Identify the noun:
Let's get rid of the unwanted equipment.

A
get rid of

B
unwanted

C
let's

D
equipment

Solution

Option D: Nouns are words that name people, things, places, animals, etc. In the given sentence, 'equipment' names 'necessary items used for a particular purpose'. For example, the equipment in a bakery includes a mixer, an oven, etc.
Hence the word is a noun and option D is correct.

Option A: Verbs are words that express an action.
Phrasal verbs are phrases formed with a verb and a particle and /or a preposition to form a meaning different from the individual words.
'Get rid of' is a phrasal verb that means 'to remove' or 'dispose of'. It names an action and not a thing.
Option B: 'Unwanted' is an adjective. Adjectives modify nouns.
Option C: 'Let's' is a contraction of 'let us'. 'Let' is a verb and 'us' is a pronoun. Pronouns refer to nouns that have been mentioned before, or the first person point of view.
Hence these words are not nouns and options A, B and C are wrong.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank using the most appropriate option to form a compound noun:
Parle is a __________ company.

A
furniture

B
confectionery

C
medicine

D
garment

Solution

From general knowledge, we know that Parle is a company that manufactures popular biscuits, cookies and cakes etc. Cakes, cookies, biscuits are collectively called as confectionery.
Therefore, the word that best describes the company's product line is option B) confectionery.
Option A) furniture is incorrect because Parle does not manufacture furniture. Options C) and D) are also incorrect because Parle does not manufacture medicine or garments.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the correct abstract noun form of the underlined adjective.
The robbers met at a secret place. All of them had promised to maintain the ___________ of the place.

A
secretness

B
secrecy

C
secretive

D
secret

Solution

Option A is incorrect as the word secretness does not exist.
The abstract noun form of the word "secret" is secrecy. Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
Option C is incorrect as the word secretive is an adjective. Example: He is a secretive person. It is not a noun.
The word secret is used as an adjective as well as a noun. However, it is a common noun and not an abstract noun. Hence, Option D is incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
Neither Johnny Cash nor Dolly Parton was known for anything other than being a country musician.

A
NO CHANGE

B
country singers

C
folk singers

D
blues musicians

Solution

Option A is the correct answer as in the sentence 'neither..nor' connects the two singular nouns (Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton). Hence 'a country musician' is the correct answer.
Options B, C and D are incorrect because they are all plural nouns.

A

Option A i.e fan refers to a singular noun. Option C i.e fannes is an incorrect word and carries no meaning.
Hence both options A and C are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word:
Eliza and Rita come from vastly different backgrounds but are very staunch friend to one another.

A
NO CHANGE

B
friends

C
pal

D
acquaintance

Solution

Option A: In the given sentence, the nouns 'Eliza and Rita' and 'backgrounds' are plural. The subject 'Eliza and Rita' speaks of two people, hence it's plural. So, there should be a consistency in terms of number in a sentence. The word 'friend' is singular, it refers to only one friend, whereas 'backgrounds' is plural. Hence this word must be changed and option A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Friends' is a plural noun and agrees with the plural subject 'Eliza and Rita'. Hence option B is most suitable and is correct.
Options C and D: 'Pal' and 'acquaintance' are singular nouns and do not agree with the rest of the sentence in terms of number. Hence these options are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Identify the error in the sentence:
[A] A census of the island [B] revealed a population of [C] only 10,000 [D] people.

A
A

B
B

C
C

D
D

E
No error

Solution

The given sentence sounds complete in meaning and grammatical structure. The parts 'A census', 'revealed', 'only' and 'people' have no error in them.
The sentence means that: a survey (census) was taken of the island and it was found (revealed) that there were only 10,000 people on that island.
Hence option E is correct and the rest of the options, A, B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Identify the 'masculine gender noun' from the given sentence:
The committee proclaimed a ban on the widower from entering the church, due to his evil ways. [Advanced]

A
Church

B
Widower

C
Committee

D
None of these

Solution

The sentence given will have Option B, widower as the correct answer.

The given sentence will have the following nouns: the church, the widower and the committee. Where Option A, Church, is actually a common noun, defining a place of worship, Option C, committee is actually a collective noun describing a group of people.

Option B, widower, actually describes a male who lost his wife to death, thereby making it a masculine noun, and also the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
The tree spreads its leaves, giving shade to the plants and animals beneath.

A
shrubs

B
vegetation

C
plants

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

Option D: The noun 'tree' is a perennial plant with elongated stems or trunks, branches and leaves. It can vary in length. In the given sentence, 'tree' is relevant as it gives shade to what ever is beneath. A tree can be large enough to give shade to an animal, hence the noun is suitable and no change is required. So, Option D is correct.
Option A: 'Shrubs' are small woody-plants and are less than three meters in height. They wouldn't be very successful in giving shade, as they're so close to the ground. In comparison to this, a 'tree' is more suitable for the given sentence. Hence A is wrong.
Option B: 'Vegetation' refers to all plants collectively. It does not correct the sentence, as 'vegetation' is a collective term and the words that follow "spreads its leaves" relates to an individual plant. Hence B is incorrect.
Option C: 'Plants' is a plural noun whereas the pronoun that follows 'its' refers to a singular noun. Hence this option is incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Identify the 'masculine gender noun' from the given sentence:
The steward asked the passengers on the deck to be away from the railing, owing to high tides. [Advanced]

A
Passengers

B
Deck

C
Steward

D
Tide

Solution

The sentence given will have Option C, steward as its correct answer.

The given sentence possesses the following nouns: the steward, passengers, deck and tide. Option B and D are deck and tide respectively, which are both neuter gender nouns. The former one means a place on the floor of the ship, wherein the passengers can stand and the latter means the formation of water waves by wind or other forces within water. Here, Option A, passengers is a common noun as both masculine and feminine entities can come within the arena of the same.

This leaves us with Option C, steward, which means a staff in the ship whose service is to help, and is a masculine noun. The feminine counterpart of the same is Stewardess.

Thus, Option C is the correct answer.
