  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    ________ I can stay is three hours.
    Solution
    The Superlative Degree denotes the existence of the highest degree of the quality. It is used when more than two things are compared.
    'The' is used as an emphasising adjective to express the quality of the noun. 
    Hence Option D is correct. 
    'Long, longer and longest' are the positive, comparative and superlative forms respectively. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct option.
    The comparative and superlative forms of most one and two syllable words are formed by _________.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option  A - by adding er and est.
    For example:
    nice (positive)
    nicer (comparative)
    nicest (suprlative)
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    On weekends, Jim prefers to go outdoors rather than reading at home.
    Solution
    The comparison is between the act of 'going outdoors' and 'reading'. The question asks for the Gerund 'reading' to be replaced with the correct answer. In the first part of the sentence, the phrase is made up of an infinitive and a noun 'to go outdoors'. Since we're comparing two activities, we need to write the second activity in the same form, i.e, 'to read at home.' Hence option A is correct and option D is incorrect. 'Reads' is a present indicative verb and isn't the correct answer. 'Having read' is a participle and what we need is an infinitive, hence this is an incorrect answer.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]
    Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.
    The Hype of Healthier Organic Food[/passage-header]Some people buy organic food because they believe organically grown crops are more nutritious and safer for consumption than [1]  the people who purchase their conventionally grown counterparts, which are usually produced with pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. In the name of health, [2] spending $1.60 for every dollar they would have spent on food that is [3] grown in a manner that is considered conventional. Scientific evidence, [4] therefore, suggests that consumers do not reap significant benefits, in terms of either nutritional value or safety, from organic food.   Although advocates of organic food [5] preserve that organic produce is healthier than conventionally grown produce because it has more vitamins and minerals, this assertion is not supported by scientific research. [6] For instance, one review published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition provided analysis of the results of comparative studies conducted over a span of 50 years; researchers consistently found no evidence that organic crops are more nutritious than conventionally grown ones in terms of their vitamin and mineral content. [7] Similarly, Stanford University researchers who examined almost 250 studies comparing the nutritional content of different kinds of organic foods with that of their nonorganic counterparts found very little difference between the two.   Evidence also undermines the claim that organic food is safer to eat. While researchers have found lower levels of pesticide residue in organic produce than in nonorganic produce, the pesticide residue detected in conventional produce falls within acceptable safety limits. According to such organizations as the US Environmental Protection Agency, the minute amounts of residue falling within such limits [8] have no negative impact on human health. [9]
        Based on scientific evidence, organic food offers neither significant nutritional nor safety benefits for consumers. Proponents of organic food, of course, are quick to add that [10] their are numerous other reasons to buy organic [11] food, such as, a desire to protect the environment from potentially damaging pesticides or a preference for the taste of organically grown foods. Research regarding these issues is less conclusive than the findings regarding nutritional content and pesticide residue safety limits. What is clear, though, is this: if a consumer's goal is to buy the healthiest and safest food to eat, the increased cost of organic food is a waste of money.

    The change required for sentence underlined at [1] is?
    Solution
    Choice D is the best answer because if the underlined portion is removed, the sentence appropriately contrasts the phrases “organically grown crops” and “conventionally grown counterparts,” both of which describe crops. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because none make logical comparisons: crops to “people,” crops to “purchase,” and crops to “purchasing.”

    Though he was more faster than his opponent on the field, his chances of winning the race was low as he lacked the killer instinct.
    Solution
    In this sentence, we would come across the comparative degree usage. The sentence given uses the phrase "more faster". Faster is itself a comparative degree, "faster" means "more fast" compared to someone. 
    The comparative form expresses a higher degree of some quality. Thus, we need to use "faster" here instead of "more faster". 
    Option A: Gives the same phrase so it is wrong.
    Option B: Uses "As" instead of "Though" which does not make any such difference as the comparative degree is not corrected. 
    Option C: Uses the term "more fast" which is correct but not in comparative form: "faster"
    Option D: Is the correct option as it uses "faster" instead of "more faster" which is the correct comparative form that should be used.  

    Option D is the correct answer

    She wished that her career could be as glamorous as the other women but not willing to work as they had.
    Solution
    In this question, we need to select an option that has the similar meaning to that of the underlined portion. The given statement mentions this wish of a particular woman. She wishes to have a glamorous career like that of the other women but does not intend to work that hard. If we look into the options below;
    Option A: Does match with what we want. In this option, the sentence has been phrased properly or correctly as given in the above sentence. The "women's" in this option specifies how the comparison is done between the careers of the two women and not a woman and the career of another woman.
    Option B: In this option, "More" has been used. But in the given sentence no-where it has been mentioned that the woman wants a career more glamorous than the other woman. So this cannot be the right option. 
    Option C: This is just a word, which does not give any comparison with any other form of glamor in the career. The sentence after replacing with glamor sounds right but it does not match with the given sentence as the comparison with other women is eliminated out. This is not the right option. 
    Option D: Is wrong because option A is the correct answer.

    Option A is the correct answer
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    The 23rd World Congress of Cardiology, to be held in Melbourne later this year, will be much larger than your average friends.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, a comparative adjective, 'larger' is used to show comparison between two nouns. A comparison can be made between two nouns which are similar in nature. Here, one noun which is compared is 'World Congress of Cardiology', it refers to a meeting of people. So, option B party of friends is correct as it refers to a meeting of people too and given sentence tells that former is much larger than latter, which is true as well.
    Option A, C and D are incorrect because they refer to a bond or people and not a meeting of people.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    At the Star Hotel, Patrick preferred the taste of the coffee which was stronger than the tea.
    Solution
    In the given statement, the 'taste' of coffee is being compared to the 'taste' of tea, and not the tea itself because by taste we're told that the adjective here is the adjective of quality which answers the question 'what characteristic' of the noun. Hence option A is incorrect. The adjective 'taste' can be modified to 'that' since we're already told about the 'taste' characteristic in the first part, hence we use 'that of the tea', option B is correct here. Since the first part of the sentence 'taste of coffee' is written in a certain manner, we prefer referring to the tea in the same manner in order to maintain consistency. Using 'the tea's taste' is different from the 'taste of the tea', hence it's incorrect. Orange juice cannot be compared to coffee because they don't fall under the same category. 'Tea' and 'coffee' fall under the same category of brewed beverages, hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the correct forms of the words given in brackets:
    Malvika is the _____ girl in the class but she is as _____ as a two-year-old child. (old, innocent) [Basic]
    Solution
    In the first blank, the use of the definite article 'the' suggests twe need to use the superlative degree of adjective. Hence, the answer will be 'oldest'. In the second blank, the use of 'as...as' structure requires the use of positive degree of adjective so the answer is 'innocent'.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Of the seven children on the team, Tony is the shorter one despite having a very tall father. [Basic]
    Solution
    When we compare something with more than three things, we use the superlative degree. Here, we are comparing the height of Tony with that of 7 children (more than 3). So, in this case, the superlative degree is 'shortest'. Hence, the correct option is B) Shortest.
