Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Punctuate the following sentence:
do they have faith in god.

A
Do they Have faith in God$$?$$

B
Do they have faith in God$$!$$

C
Do they have faith in God$$?$$

D
Do they have faith in god$$?$$

Solution

Option A - As 'have' is not a proper noun, 'h' should not be capitalised. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - The sentence starts with 'do' and hence we can understand that the sentence is an interrogatory sentence. As the given sentence is an interrogatory sentence and not an exclamatory sentence, we can't use an exclamation mark here. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'God' is a proper noun and hence, 'G' should be capitalised. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option C - As the given sentence is an interrogatory sentence, the sentence ends with a question mark, and 'G' is capitalised as 'God' is a proper noun. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
'Do they have faith in God?'
Question 2
1 / -0

Select the sentence with correct punctuation marks among the options given.
mona said to reena you should discuss your plans.

A
Mona said to Reena, "You should discuss your plans."

B
Mona said to Reena, "You should discuss Your Plans."

C
Mona said to reena, "you should discuss your plans."

D
Mona said to reena, "you should discuss your plans?"

Solution

There are certain rules when it comes to capitalizing words; capitalize the first word in quotations, provided the quoted material is a complete sentence, use capitals for proper nouns (names of people, specific places, and things). It is also important to note that full stops are used to mark the end of a sentence that is a complete statement.
In accordance with the above-mentioned rules of punctuation, option A is the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect because the words 'Your Plans' are unnecessarily capitalized as they are not proper nouns.
Option C is incorrect because the proper noun 'Reena' and the first word in the quotation are not capitalized.
Option D is incorrect because the proper noun 'Reena' and the first word in the quotation are not capitalized, and the statement is ending with a question mark even though it is a statement and not a question.
Question 3
1 / -0

Select the sentence with correct punctuation marks.
girls school is near the post office in ambala.

A
Girl's school is near the post office in Ambala.

B
Girls school is near the Post Office in Ambala.

C
Girls school is near the Post Office in ambala.

D
Girl's school is near the Post Office in Ambala.

Solution

Option B - The school is of the girl's, hence we should use an apostrophe and an 's' here. As 'Post' and 'Office' are not proper nouns, we can't capitalise their first letters. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - The school is of the girl's, hence we should use an apostrophe and an 's' here. As 'Post' and 'Office' are not proper nouns, we can't capitalise their first letters. Also, 'Ambala' is a proper noun and hence 'A' should be capitalised. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - As 'Post' and 'Office' are not proper nouns, we can't capitalise their first letters. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option A - To show possession, we use 'Girl's school' and since 'Ambala' is a proper noun, 'A' should be capitalised. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
'Girl's shool is near the post office in Ambala.'
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the option with the correct punctuation marks:

sir please pardon me this time

A
Sir Please Pardon me This time.

B
Sir, please pardon me this time.

C
Sir please pardon me this time.

D
Sir, please pardon me, this time.

Solution

When addressing a person or thing directly, the proper name or the word which is used to address the listener must be offset from the rest of the sentence, with a comma. In the given sentence, the word 'Sir' is used to address the listener. Hence, it has to be offset from the remaining sentence by a comma.
Option B: The word, 'Sir' is offset from the remaining sentence by a comma and there is no other incorrect punctuation mark. Hence, this option is correct.
Options A and C are incorrect as the word, 'Sir' is not followed by a comma. Further, in option A, both the words, 'Please' and 'Pardon' in the middle of the sentence begin with a capital letter. This is incorrect.
In option D, there is an incorrect (and unnecessary) comma after the phrase, 'please pardon me'. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Punctuate the following sentence:
Will you be kind to me said rohan.

A
"Will you be kind to me?" said Rohan.

B
"Will you be kind to me!", said Rohan.

C
"Will you be kind to me?", said Rohan.

D
Will you be kind to me said rohan.

Solution

According to general rule, a question mark is used to indicate an interrogatory clause in a sentence. Quotation marks are used in pairs to set off direct speech or, a quote.
Thus, according to the rules, the correct form of writing the sentence is option A. The remaining options are incorrect.
An exclamation mark is used to indicate expression of strong feelings or high volume.
Question 6
1 / -0

Punctuate the following sentence:
Venice is a city in northern Italy.

A
Venice is a City in northern Italy

B
Venice is a city in Northern Italy.

C
Venice is a city in northern italy,

D
Venice is a City in Northern Italy

Solution

Option B is the correct answer as the proper noun, 'Italy' is correctly capitalized; 'Northern' is capitalized because we capitalize directions when they refer to specific regions. The sentence also ends with a full stop.
Option A is incorrect because the sentence doesn't end with a full stop and 'northern' isn't capitalized.
Option C is incorrect because of the comma at the end of the sentence, making it incomplete as a comma signifies a pause and that the sentence is not complete yet. Also 'Northern Italy' is not correctly capitalised
Option D is incorrect because the initial letter of the word 'city' is capitalized unnecessarily as it is not a proper noun.
Question 7
1 / -0

Select the sentence with correct punctuation marks among the options given.
He said to her have you packed your school bag.

A
He said to her, "Have you packed your School Bag?"

B
He said to Her, "Have you packed your School bag!"

C
He said to her, "have you packed your school bag?"

D
He said to her, "Have you packed your school bag?"

Solution

According to general rule, a question mark is used to indicate an interrogatory clause in a sentence. Quotation marks are used in pairs to set off direct speech or, a quote. The punctuations in a quoted text should be put within the quotes.
Thus, according to the rules, the correct form of writing the sentence is option D. The remaining options are incorrect.
An exclamation mark is used to indicate expression of strong feelings or high volume.
Only the pronoun 'I' is capitalized in a sentence. So, capitalizing 'her' in the given sentence is incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Punctuate the following sentence:
hurrah my favourite team has won?

A
Hurrah, my favourite team has won?

B
Hurrah, my favourite team has won.

C
Hurrah$$!$$ My favourite team has won.

D
Hurrah, my favourite team has won$$!$$

Solution

Option A - 'Hurrah' is an exclamatory word and we must use an exclamation mark here and not a comma. 'My favourite team has won' is a simple sentence and thus we can't use a question mark here. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'Hurrah' is an exclamatory word and we must use an exclamation mark here and not a comma. 'My' should begin with a capital 'M' as it is a new sentence. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'Hurrah' is an exclamatory word and we must use an exclamation mark here and not a comma. The remaining sentence is a simple sentence and not an exclamatory sentence and thus we can't end the sentence with an exclamation mark. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option C - As 'hurrah' is an exclamatory word, the exclamation mark is used. As the sentence is a simple sentence, it ends with a full stop. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
'Hurrah! My favourite team has won.'
Question 9
1 / -0

Punctuate the following sentence:
kalpana chawla was selected to attend Punjab engineering college at chandigarh.

A
Kalpana Chawla, was selected to attend Punjab Engineering College at Chandigarh.

B
Kalpana Chawla was selected to attend Punjab Engineering College at Chandigarh.

C
Kalpana Chawla was selected to attend Punjab engineering college at chandigarh.

D
Kalpana Chawla was selected to attend punjab engineering college at Chandigarh$$!$$

Solution

Option A - A comma is put after a name when that person is being addressed. As the given sentence doesn't address 'Kalpana Chawla', it is about her, hence, we can't use a comma after the name here. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - As 'Chandigarh' and 'College' are proper nouns, 'C' has to be capitalised for both the words. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - As 'Punjab' is a proper noun, 'P' has to be capitalised. Also, the given sentence is a factual statement and not an exclamatory sentence, and that's why we can't end the sentence with an exclamation mark. Also, 'College' is a proper noun, 'C' has to be capitalised. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option B - All the proper nouns are capitalised and the statement ends with a full stop. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
'Kalpana Chawla was selected to attend Punjab Engineering College at Chandigarh.'
Question 10
1 / -0

Select the sentence with correct punctuation marks among the options given.
bengaluru is the capital of karnataka.

A
Bengaluru is the capital of Karnataka.

B
Bengaluru is the Capital of Karnataka

C
Bengaluru is The capital of Karnataka

D
Bengaluru is The capital of karnataka

Solution

Option A is the sentence with all the correct punctuations. The sentence starts with a capitalized word, the proper nouns Bengaluru and Karnataka are capitalized properly and the sentence ends with a full stop.
Option B is incorrect because it doesn't have a full stop and the word 'capital' is capitalized unnecessarily.
Option C incorrect as the sentence doesn't end with a full stop and the article 'the' is capitalized incorrectly.
Option D is incorrect as the sentence is left incomplete without a full stop and the proper noun 'Karnataka' is not capitalized while the article 'the' is inappropriately capitalized.
