Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the option which correctly punctuates the sentence:

    Be still, she said, "and let me help you climb back up."
    Solution
    Quotation marks are used to indicate material that is being reproduced word for word. Thus, the correct answer should be Option C.
    Option A is incorrect because the speech is not enclosed within quotation marks.
    Option B is incorrect because quotation marks end when the direct speech ends and restart when the direct speech begins.
    Option D does not include all of the direct speech within quotation marks.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Select the option that correctly punctuates the given line:
    Elephants are huge
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option C.
    The given line is a statement. A statement ends with a full-stop.
    There is no question asked or continuation intended (making option A and B incorrect). 
    Thus Option C is the correct answer.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Select the option that correctly punctuates the given line:
    Anna likes chocolates cakes and cupcakes
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option A.
    We are to add the correct punctuation mark in the given sentence.
    A COMMA as a punctuation mark marks division in phrases in a sentence. Thus it can be appropriately used in the given sentence to divide chocolates, cups, and cupcakes.
    Hence Option A is the correct answer.
    There is no question asked in the sentence, thus option B is incorrect.
    A semi-colon is used to mark stronger divisions in a sentence that already contains commas, thus option C is incorrect.
    Thus Option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Select the option that correctly punctuates the given line:
    Will you accompany me for breakfast
    Solution
    Option A - As the given sentence is a question, we can't use an exclamation mark. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - As the given sentence is an interrogatory sentence, we can't put a full stop here. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - A sentence never ends with a comma. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - As the given sentence is an interrogatory sentence, we should put a question mark at the end. Thus option B is the correct answer.
    'Will you accompany me for breakfast?'
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Select the option that correctly punctuates the given line:
    Can we please go home? 
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option D.
    The speaker of the sentence is asking if they can go home. This is a question and a question mark is put at the end of a sentence.
    Hence there is no change required in the given sentence as it contains a question mark.
    Therefore Option D is the correct answer.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:

    What a beautiful morning?
    Solution
    Exclamation mark is used to express surprise, excitement or any other strong emotion. Given sentence describes excitement. Thus, option A is correct. Hence, sentence would become: What a beautiful morning !
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point.

    This is a red dress.
    Solution
    According to general rule, a period is used to mark the end of a complete sentence. Thus, the correct answer will be Option D, no change.
    The remaining options are incorrect, as a comma is used to indicate a pause whereas, a semi colon is used to separate major sentence elements. An exclamation mark is used to indicate strong feelings or high volume in a sentence.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Select the option that correctly punctuates the given line:
    Help Please screamed Jane
    Solution
    Option A - As the sentence is spoken by Jane, we must use double inverted commas to show the dialogue. Also, 'Please?' is not a question, hence no question mark should be used here. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - As the sentence is spoken by Jane, we must use double inverted commas to show the dialogue. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Help' and 'Please' are both said when a person is in shock or shocked and hence these words should have exclamation marks. Also, the dialogue should be written in the double inverted commas. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - Both the words 'help' and 'please' have exclamation marks after them and are written in the double inverted commas to explain the dialogue that is spoken by Jane. Thus option B is the correct answer.
    "Help! Please!" screamed Jane.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Select the option that correctly punctuates the given line:
    Maya Angelou said if you don't like something change it. If you can't change it change your attitude.
    Solution
    Option A - 'Maya Angelou said if you don't like something change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.' is incorrect as the sentence is a direct sentence and it is not put in inverted commas. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option B - Maya Angelou said if you don't like something change it. If you can't change it change your attitude? is incorrect as the direct sentence is not written in double inverted commas. Also, it is a simple sentence and not an interrogatory sentence, hence we can't put a question mark here. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option C - Maya Angelou said if you don't like something change it; if you can't change it change your attitude! is incorrect as the direct sentence is not written in double inverted commas. Also, it is a simple sentence and not an exclamatory sentence, hence we can't put an exclamation mark here. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - Maya Angelou said, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." is correct as we always write the direct speech in double inverted commas. Thus option D is the correct answer.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Select the option that correctly punctuates the given line:
    The boys room is painted blue.
    Solution
    Option A - As the given sentence is a simple sentence, we can't use a question mark at the end of the sentence. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - As the given sentence is a simple sentence, we can't use an exclamation mark at the end of the sentence. Also, to show that the boy owns the room, we must use an apostrophe 's'. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - To show that the boy owns the room, we must use an apostrophe 's'. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'The boy's room is painted blue.' is correct as the sentence is a simple sentence and is punctuated with a full stop. Also, 'boy's' shows the ownership of the room. Thus option B is the correct answer.
    'The boy's room is painted blue.'
