Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:
    boy
    Solution
    Option C is correct because the suffix -ish is used to form adjectives to describe the manner or characteristic of something, in this case, of the boy. For example, in the sentence, "The young man had a boyish charm", the adjective 'boyish' modifies the noun 'charm' by attributing the characteristic of a boy to the man. The words 'boyful', 'boyed' and 'boyly' simply do not exist in the English dictionary, they're not used in Standard English. Hence, options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    sense
    Solution
    There is a certain amount of confusion between the suffixes -ible and -able and when to use them. They both mean the same 'capable to be', hence the confusion. The latter is widely used compared to the former. Words ending with -ible are usually those that don't exist without the suffix, the given noun 'sense' being an exception, hence option B is correct. In the phrase, 'sensible woman', the adjective 'sensible' modifies the noun 'woman'. 'Senseable', 'sensesome', and 'senseous' do not exist in the English dictionary, hence options A, C, and D are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    dirt
    Solution
    Option C is correct because the suffix -y changes the noun to an adjective meaning 'characterized by'. For example, in "She came back home with dirty boots, covered in mud", the adjective 'dirty' modifies the noun 'boots'. The words 'dirtful', 'dirten' and 'dirtious' do not exist in the English dictionary, hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    laugh
    Solution
    Option A is correct because '-able' forms an adjective, meaning, 'capable of causing laughter'. In "Miss Daisy had a laughable mannerism," the adjective 'laughable' modifies the noun 'mannerism'.  The words 'laughful' and 'laughly' are not used in Standard English, hence, options B and D are incorrect. 'Laughingly' is an adverb, not an adjective. Hence, option C is also incorrect. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    silk
    Solution
    In option D the suffix -en transforms the noun to an adjective, meaning 'made of'. In the sentence, "The silken dress looked pretty on her", the adjective 'silken' modifies the noun 'dress', saying that 'the dress was made of silk'. Hence option D is correct. 'Silkful', 'silked' and 'silkly' are not words, they do not exist in the English dictionary, hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    gold
    Solution
    In option A, the suffix -en is used in the transformation of nouns to adjectives, adding the meaning 'made up of'. For example, in "It was a golden opportunity for him", the adjective 'golden' modifies the noun 'opportunity', by saying that the opportunity was a valuable one. 'Goldful', 'goldous' and 'goldly' simply do not exist in the dictionary. They're not used in Standard English, hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    pardon
    Solution
    Option C is correct because -able changes the noun to an adjective, meaning 'capable of'. In "His offence was pardonable", the adjective 'pardonable' modifies the noun 'offence'. The words 'pardonful', 'pardonles' and 'pardonly' do not exist in the English dictionary, they're not used in Standard English hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    hope
    Solution
    Option C is correct because the suffix '-ful' forms the adjective meaning 'full of hope'. In "She felt optimistic, hearing the hopeful words he spoke regarding her treatment", the adjective 'hopeful' modifies the noun 'words' meaning, his words were full of hope. 'Hopeable', 'hopen' and 'hopely' do not exist in the dictionary. They're not used in Standard English, hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the given noun:
    Wood
    Solution
    The suffix '-en' is added to the noun 'wood' forming an adjective that means 'made of wood'. In the sentence, "The house was adorned with wooden furniture" the adjective 'wooden' modifies the noun 'furniture', meaning 'the furniture is made of wood'. The words woodness, woodous, woodable don't exist in the dictionary, they're not used in Standard English hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    king
    Solution
    Option C is correct because the suffix -ly changes the noun to an adjective attributing the meaning 'the qualities of'. In the phrase "kingly presence" the adjective 'kingly' modifies the noun 'presence'. The adjective 'kinged' is archaic, it isn't used in Standard English or modern-day English, hence option D is incorrect. The words 'kingful' and 'kingish' do not exist in the dictionary, they're not used in Standard English hence options A and B are incorrect.
