Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Identify the option that corrects the underlined part of the sentence:

    Neapolitan pizza is typically made with mozzarella cheese unlike other parts of the world where more diverse ingredients are used.
    Solution
    In this sentence, we are comparing pizzas. So, 'other parts of the world' and Neapolitan pizza do not make a logical comparison. The correct comparison is between 'Neapolitan pizza' and 'pizza in other parts of the world.'
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    The colour of the pendant was far brighter than the dress.
    Solution
    The sentence states a comparison between the colour of the pendant and the dress. The phrases in comparison should be parallel to each other in structure and form. The underlined phrase has omitted the main noun 'colour', on the basis of which the comparison is made. Hence option D is incorrect. Option B is correct because it is parallel in structure and context to the first phrase "colour of the pendant". Option A is incorrect because the noun is repeated and there can't be a comparison between the colour of the pendant and the pendant itself. Option C is incorrect because it's not mentioned that 'the colour of the pendant" is unoriginal, so the phrase is irrelevant to the context of the sentence.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    The languages spoken in India are more numerous than other countries.
    Solution
    The nouns being compared in the given sentence are the languages of India with the languages of other countries in terms of number. The underlined phrase mentions only 'other countries' and misses out on their languages, hence option D is incorrect. In option B, we're shown the phrase 'those of other countries'. 'Those' demonstrates the phrase 'the languages' hence this is the correct option. In options A and C the phrases are incomplete. In A 'languages' is not mentioned, whereas in C 'countries' is not mentioned, so these two are incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    Jane felt that a princess outfit was as pretty as being a fairy at her friend's costume party.
    Solution
    Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance. In the given sentence, the outfit is compared with a fairy' dress. Words in the parallel structure should not only have the same structure but also tense. Thus, option B is the correct answer per rule. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Viewing the play in Broadway was a different experience from London.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
    Solution
    Comparison of adjectives means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance. In the given sentence, the view from two different places are compared. Words of comparison should not only have the same structure but also tense. Thus, option C is the correct answer per rule. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    Despite living in the middle of a bustling city, Natalie would rather go on a countryside walk than viewing a film in the city center.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the word 'than' is used, which shows a comparison. A comparison can be made between two or more things which are of the same nature or type. Here, the verb in part before than is go, which is a singular present form of the verb "go", as the noun Natalie is singular. Hence, the verb after than should also have singular present form. Thus, option B view is the right option.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    Koala bears are in more danger from the threat of bushfires and pathogens than from other preying animals.

    Solution
    In the given statement, a comparison is made between what puts koala bears in more danger, 'threat of bushes and pathogens' or 'threat of other preying animals'. The underlined phrase 'other preying animals' misses out on 'threat of', hence option D is incorrect. 'That' is demonstrative of 'threat of' and hence option B is correct. 'Those' in option A is incorrect because it refers to a plural noun and over here the noun 'threat' is a singular noun. Option C also misses out on 'threat' or the demonstrative of 'threat' and is an incorrect option.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    The cheetah has a faster speed than any land animal.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    Solution
    The comparison is between the speed of one animal with the other animals. The phrase 'any land animal' does not contain any mention of speed, hence option A is incorrect. In the second option 'that of any animal', 'that' demonstrates the speed of 'any land animal', hence it's correct. 'Those' is a demonstrative of plural nouns, speed not being a plural noun in this context, makes this option incorrect. Option D is incorrect because neither is the speed mentioned nor is it contextually correct.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    As the tailors make one costume per actor, fewer actors mean less to make.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
    Solution
    'Fewer' is used for plural countable nouns, 'less' is used for uncountable nouns. Costume is a countable noun, which is why we can't leave the statement as it is, option A is incorrect. We use 'fewer costumes' which is the correct option (option B). Since less isn't used for non-countable nouns, Option C is incorrect. Option D 'fewer' does not say which noun is fewer, hence the last option is also incorrect due to ambiguity.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    The Nubian pyramids of Sudan are constructed at a steeper angle than Egypt.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
    Solution
    The sentence is comparing two things. The comparison has to be made between things of the same form or type in order to be logical. The only logical comparison is that between 'Nubian pyramids of Sudan' and 'those of Egypt'. Hence, option B is the right answer.
