Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the statement at the underlined point:
Jim is better at painting than he is at dancing.

A
doing dance

B
dance

C
dances

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The sentence is comparing how good Jim is at painting to how good he is at dancing. The words/phrases that are being compared should have the same grammatical form. This is called parallelism. Hence, the right answer is option D.
Question 2
1 / -0

Correct the following sentence.

Of all the other students, she is the most promising. [Intermediate]

A
Of all the other students, she is the more promising.

B
Of all the other students, she is the most promising.

C
Of all the students, she is the more promising.

D
Of all the students, she is the most promising.

Solution

In the given sentence, the use of "other" is incorrect, because we want to convey that she is the 'most' promising among all the students. When we use 'other', she is excluded from the comparison with the students. Thus, option D is correct.
Option A and B are incorrect, as due to the use of 'other', she is excluded from the comparison with other students.
Option C is incorrect, because the use of 'more' denotes that she is the more promising students than others, but it doesn't mean that she is the most promising, which is something that the given question wants to convey.
Question 3
1 / -0

Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
Those from South India claim that biryani from the south is better than the north because it contains a more delicious assortment of local spices.

A
food of the north

B
in the north

C
biryani from the north

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The sentence suggests a comparison between biryani from two places, South India and North India. The part of the statement with the underlined phrase 'the north' is incorrect because biryanis from two different places are being compared, whereas this sentence compares the biryani of one place with another place and not with its biryani. Hence option D is incorrect because the underlined phrase is not parallel in structure to the first phrase "biryani from the south". Option C is correct because the phrase is parallel to the first phrase in structure and context. Option A is incorrect, by 'food' we mean food as a whole, whereas the comparison is made between a particular type of food, biryani. Option B does not specify 'what' in the north nor is it parallel in structure hence it's incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
Miami in the United States has a collection of Art Deco buildings larger than any other in the world.

A
NO CHANGE

B
any other city

C
any other buildings

D
any other collection

Solution

The given sentence compares the 'Art Deco buildings in Miami' to 'all the Art Deco buildings in the world'. 'By using 'any other' we're replacing the phrase 'all the Art Deco buildings' hence option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because it does not contain the noun 'buildings' which is being compared in the first place. Option C does not specify what type of buildings in the world and it refers to all buildings, hence it's incorrect. Option D speaks about the collection but does not elaborate on what type of collection, hence it's ambiguous, which makes it incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Correct the sentence at the underlined point.
The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airplane manufactured by Airbus. It is the large passenger airplane in the world. [Intermediate]

A
larger

B
largest

C
big

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

In the sentence, the Airbus A380 is compared to all the passenger airplanes in the world. Hence, the adjective should be in the superlative degree, i.e. largest. Hence, the correct option is B) Largest.
Question 6
1 / -0

Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
The giraffe is the best terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. [Advanced]

A
tallest

B
better

C
herbivorous

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The phrases in a comparison sentence should both be parallel in structure as well as in context. Here there are two superlatives concerning the same noun 'giraffe' in comparison with the other animals. The underlined superlative 'best' attributes the meaning 'desirable quality', which is incorrect in the context of the sentence as it's a quality in terms of personality, and it's not relevant here. Hence option D is incorrect. The phrase 'largest ruminant' suggests that we're describing the noun 'giraffe' in terms of its size, the only relevant option is Option A, which modifies the noun 'terrestrial animal' in terms of height, hence option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because it's a comparative, whereas the noun calls for a superlative. Similarly, option C is incorrect because 'herbivorous' is not a superlative adjective.
Question 7
1 / -0

Correct the underlined part of the sentence (if necessary):
St. Aloysius High School's cafeteria offers more variety than St. Stanislaus High School.

A
those of St. Stanislaus High School

B
that of St. Stanislaus High School

C
St. Stanislaus High School's

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

A comparison is being made between the cafeterias of these two schools. In the given statement, the cafeteria of the underlined school isn't mentioned at all, option D is incorrect. By adding an apostrophe and an s, ('s) after the name of the school, it is indicated that the cafeteria of the second school is compared to that of the first, making option C correct. 'Those' is used for plural countable nouns hence this option is incorrect since we are comparing one cafeteria to another. Option B is also incorrect, keeping in mind the structure of the first part of the sentence, which ends with an 's followed by the cafeteria. If the statement had started this way, 'The cafeteria of St. Aloysius High School', then option B would've been correct, otherwise in this case it's wrong.
Question 8
1 / -0

Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
In India, Coke is now more common than drinking fruit juice thanks to the liberalization of the market.

A
fruit drinks

B
fruit juices

C
that of fruit juices

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

In the given sentence, a comparison is being made between two drinks and not the act of drinking those drinks. 'Coke' is to be compared with 'fruit juices' option B is correct and option D is incorrect. Option A is incorrect, because fruit drinks are different from fruit juices, and we can see that the sentence mentions 'fruit juices'. In option C, 'that' in 'that of fruit juices' is not clear what it refers to, so this option is wrong.
Question 9
1 / -0

Correct the underlined part of the sentence (if necessary):
America's tallest mountain is higher than Britain's.

A
that of Britain

B
those of Britain

C
Britain

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

By adding an apostrophe and s to Britain we are contracting the statement from 'Britain's mountain' to 'Britain's. Hence no change is required, option D is correct. The country America ends with an ''s'' which means the mountain that belongs to America, hence the other country being compared, Britain should also end the same way, with an apostrophe. The structure of both parts should run parallel since the options A and B don't have the same order as the first part of the sentence, they're both incorrect. Option C is incorrect as the absence of the apostrophe makes the sentence illogical and incomplete in its meaning (according to option C, the comparison is between America's tallest mountain and Britain).
Question 10
1 / -0

Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
The Library of Congress system of classification has gradually replaced the Dewey Decimal in libraries across the world.

A
that of the Dewey Decimal

B
those of the Dewey Decimal

C
Dewey Decimal

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

In the given sentence, 'the systems of classification' of the Library of Congress and the Dewey Decimal are spoken about. 'The system of classification of the Library of Congress' is to be replaced by 'the system of classification of the Dewey Decimal. 'That' is a demonstrative used to refer back to an entire phrase or sentence. Here, 'that' is being used to replace the phrase 'system of classification' in the second half of the sentence, hence option A is correct. This phrase is not being replaced by 'the Dewey Decimal' itself, so option D is incorrect, even by eliminating 'the' in option C, it's still incorrect. 'Those' refers to plural nouns since we are comparing the system of classification (singular noun) we need a singular demonstrative pronoun, not a plural one, which makes option B incorrect.
