Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction.
The principal _________ the staff encouraged the hockey players.

A
But

B
As well as

C
As soon as

D
Nor

Solution

Option A: The conjunction 'but' is used to suggest a contrast. Eg: 'He was poor but honest'. In the given sentence, there is no contrast indicated. Hence, option A is not correct.

Option B: The conjunction 'as well as' is used instead of 'and'. The sentence, 'The principal as well as the staff encouraged the hockey players.' means the same as the sentence, 'The principal and the staff encouraged the hockey players.' Hence, option B is correct.

Option C: The conjunction 'as soon as' is used to show that something happens immediately, i.e. 'at the very moment another action is completed', or 'shortly after another action is completed. In the given sentence, there is only one verb. i.e., 'encouraged'. Hence, this conjunction cannot be used. Option C is incorrect.

Option D; 'Nor' is a conjunction used in negative phrases, especially after 'neither'. It is used to introduce a second or subsequent negative set of possibility. The given sentence is an affirmative sentence with no negative word. Hence, this word is not applicable. Option D is incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction.
___________ our friends are in trouble, we must help them.

A
When

B
As

C
Than

D
But

Solution

The word 'when' is a conjunction which means 'at the time that'. We know that we have to help our friends at the time that they are in trouble. Hence, this is the most appropriate conjunction to be used in the given blank. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
Option B: The conjunction 'as' is used to indicate that something happens during the time when something else is taking place. The two events joined by the conjunction 'as' should happen at the same time. We help our friends once we know (and immediately after we know) that they are in trouble; And not simultaneously when they are in trouble. Hence, this option is not the most appropriate.
Option C: The conjunction 'than' is used for introducing the second element in a comparison.
Option D: The conjunction 'but' is used to introduce a phrase or clause which contrasts something which has already been mentioned.
In the given sentence, we do not have two things or activities which are either compared or contrasted. Hence, options C and D are incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction.
_________ he switched on the machine, the power went off.

A
As soon as

B
Such as

C
Then

D
As well as

Solution

In the given sentence, there are two actions/events: (1) He switched on the machine and (2) The power went off. The second event happened immediately after the first action. The conjunction, 'as soon as' is used to say that something happened/ will happen immediately after something else has happened. Hence, this is the most appropriate conjunction to be used in the given blank and option A is correct.
Option B: The phrase, 'such as'. means 'for example'. Eg: I do not do tasks such as washing vessels. Given its meaning, this phrase cannot be used in the given blank to complete the sentence meaningfully. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C: When the word, 'then' is used alone in a sentence (i.e. without the word, 'If), it acts an adverb of time and means 'at that time'. In the given sentence, the word, 'if' is not used. Hence, the word, 'then' cannot act as a conjunction in the given sentence and option C is incorrect.
Option D: The phrase 'as well as' means 'in addition' or 'too'. Given its meaning, this phrase cannot be used in the given blank to complete the sentence meaningfully. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the suitable conjunction from the options given:
The principal was upset, __________ he talked to the students politely.

A
Nevertheless

B
Unless

C
Moreover

D
In order that

Solution

Option B - 'Unless' means 'except if'. For example, 'You can't pass unless you study.' As the sentence doesn't explain any condition, we can't use 'unless' here. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Moreover' means 'more importantly'. For example, 'The whole work was perfectly done, moreover it was accurate.' The given sentence doesn't explain 'more importantly', it explains two opposite situations, hence we can't use 'moreover' here. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'In order that' means 'so that'. For example, 'The staff must stay committed in order that the project succeeds.' As the sentence doesn't explain any reason, we can't use 'in order that' here. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'Nevertheless' means 'despite what has been said or referred to'. It is used to explain a situation which happened/happens in spite of the other situation. For example, 'She didn't know to cook, nevertheless, she tried.' As the given sentence explains two different situations, we can use 'nevertheless' here. Thus option A is the correct answer.
'The principal was upset, nevertheless, he talked to the students properly.'
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with a suitable option:
The weather was _________ bad _________ we didn't go to the seaside.

A
Such / then

B
Very / that

C
So / that

D
Too / that

Solution

A conjunction is a word used to connect words, phrases or clauses. 'So' is used to talk about clauses of result or decision. 'That' is used to refer to someone or something that has already been mentioned. Here, the decision is not to go outside.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:
We were ________ late ________ we missed the plane to Istanbul.

A
So / that

B
Such / than

C
Very / then

D
Too / to

Solution

A conjunction is a word used to connect other words, phrases or clauses. 'So' is used to talk about clauses of result or decision. Here, the result is missing the plane because of getting late. Thus, option A is the correct answer. Rest of the options are not correct per the grammatical rules.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
I'll study the English language _______ I speak fluently. [Advanced]

A
if

B
after

C
until

D
while
Solution
Answer : C

Let us first understand what the words in options mean:
if : It is used to express an opinion / surprise / regret or make a polite request
after : It refers to a time following something / some event
until : It means up to some specific point in time
while : It means "at the same time"
Reading the sentence in the question, we understand that the speaker is expressing that he/she would study the English language to the point that he/she can speak fluently. The other words do not fit in correctly and do NOT make sense.

Therefore, the most suitable word here is "until".

Thus, the correct complete sentence is:
I'll study the English language UNTIL I speak fluently.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
Hardly had he uttered the words __________________.

A
Than we left the room

B
When he began laughing

C
As soon as everybody sat down

D
The manager came in

Solution

'Hardly' is used at the beginning of a sentence before an auxiliary to say that one thing happens very soon after another thing. 'Hardly' is followed by 'when' in the second clause.
'Than' is used to compare things in the sentence.
'As soon as' is used to show that something happens immediately, i.e. ‘at the very moment another action is completed’, or ‘shortly after another action is completed’.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable conjunction:
I obeyed her ___________ she should be angry.

A
Provided that

B
But

C
Unless

D
Lest

Solution

A conjunction is a word used to connect other words, phrases or clauses.
'Provided' is used to mean that one thing happening is dependent on another thing happening. 'But' is used to contrast the ideas. 'Unless' is used to mean except if. 'Lest' is used to prevent something from happening. It gives a negative meaning. Therefore, it should not be used with not. The only auxiliary verb that can follow lest is should. The given sentence shows the negative meaning.
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:
She dressed the child in a heavy overcoat, _________ he should catch cold.

A
Because

B
Therefore

C
However

D
Lest

Solution

'Lest' is used to prevent something from happening. It gives a negative meaning. It should not be used with not. The only auxiliary verb that can follow lest is should. 'Because' is used to provide a reason for something.
'Therefore' is used mostly in argumentation when one statement logically follows from another. 'However' here is used to for describing that it makes no difference how good, bad, difficult etc something is or how much there is of something.
Thus, option D is the correct answer according to the rule.
