Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Form an adjective from the given noun:
rust

A
rustive

B
rustful

C
rustous

D
rustic

Solution

Option D is correct because the suffix -ic forms an adjective of the given noun, attributing it with the meaning 'of or pertaining to'. In the sentence "The bride wanted to have a rustic setting for her wedding ceremony", the adjective 'rustic' modifies the noun 'setting'. The words rustive, rustful and rustous do not exist in Standard English, hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Identify the adjective form of the given verb:
justify

A
justification

B
justifications

C
justifiable

D
justifiably

Solution

The correct answer is Option C "justifiable" because this is an adjective formed by adding the suffix "able" to the verb "justify."
Option A is wrong as it is a noun.
Option B is wrong as it is a plural noun.
Option D is wrong as it is an adverb.
Question 3
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the correct degree of adjective from the options given.
Ajay is ________ Amit.

A
taller than

B
as tall

C
the tallest

D
none of these

Solution

Adjectives are words that modify nouns or pronouns to make them more specific.
There are 3 degrees of adjectives: Positive, comparative and superlative.
The given sentence is comparing the heights of two people- Ajay and Amit.
Whenever a comparative adjective is used, the word 'than' is used after the comparative adjective.
The adjective in the given question is 'tall' as we understand from the options given.
Option C) the tallest is incorrect since it is a superlative adjective and not comparative one.
Option A) and B) are close enough answers. Option B) is incorrect because whenever 'as' is used before an adjective to make it comparative, the adjective should also be followed by another 'as'. For example, in the given sentence, 'as tall as' would have been correct. But, since the blank is not followed by 'as', option B) is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A) taller than.
Since option A) is the correct answer, option D) is incorrect.
The complete sentence is: Ajay is taller than Amit.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the correct answer to fill in the blank from the options given.
Venus is the _________ planet to the Earth.

A
most close

B
closer

C
closest

D
closing

Solution

The positive, comparative and superlative forms of the word close are close, closer and closest respectively. Since Venus is right next to earth hence the superlative form of 'close' i.e 'closest' shall be used since it indicates maximum effect of the given word. Hence, C. closest is the correct answer.
Since we are not just comparing two things, option B, or the comparative form can be rejected. Most close isn't the correct superlative form and closing doesn't fit in the sentence in a proper manner. Hence, options A. and D. can also be omitted.
The correct sentence is:
Venus is the closest planet to the Earth.
Question 5
1 / -0

From the options given below, identify the sentence consisting of a compound adjective formed by joining an adverb and a past participle:

A
She is a good-looking girl.

B
This is a smoke-free restaurant.

C
It was a last-minute decision.

D
We live in a densely-populated city.

Solution

A compound adjective is formed when two or more adjectives are joined together to modify the same noun. An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies the meaning of an adjective, verb, or other adverb, expressing manner, place, time, or degree. When adverb is used before an adjective -ly is usually added to the end. Whereas the past participle is the form of a verb, typically ending in -ed in English, which is used in forming perfect and passive tenses and sometimes as an adjective
Options A, B, and C all are compound adjectives but they don't meet the requirements stated in the question.
Option D: "densely-populated"- compound adjective; "densely"-adverb; "populated"-past participle
Option D is the correct answer.

B
I have a four-week vacation.

Solution

A compound adjective is formed when two or more adjectives are joined together to modify the same noun.
Option A: Over here "mouth-watering" is a compound adjective but it is not related to any time period or number.

A

B
That is an old-fashioned dress.

C

Option C: "smoke-free"-compound adjective; smoke: noun; free: adjective

Option C is the correct answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the correct adjective formed from the noun given below:
Stick

A
Stiff

B
Sticky

C
Sticking

D
Stuck

Solution

STICK - 'Stick' is a noun which means 'a thin peace of wood or other material'. For example, 'She had a wooden stick at her home.'
'Stick' is also a verb, which means 'push into/paste' For example, 'He stuck the needle into his fingers'.
Option A - 'Stiff' is an adjective which means 'firm and hard'. However, 'stiff' is not a noun form of 'stick'. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'Sticking' is the participle form of the verb 'stick.' As we need the adjective form of 'stick' we can't used 'sticking' here. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Stuck' is the past form of the verb 'stick'. We need an adjective and not a verb. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'Sticky' is the adjective form of 'stick'. For example, 'The floor is still sticky.' Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the correct adjective formed from the noun given below:

Solution

THIRST - 'Thirst' is a noun, which means 'need for water/drink'. For example 'I get a terrible thirst after running.'
Option B - 'Thirstily' is the adverb form of the noun 'Thirst', which means 'in a thirsty manner.' For example, 'I drank the water thirstily.' Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Hungry' is the adjective form of the noun 'hunger', which means 'to be needing food.' Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Dehydrator' is a noun, which means 'a person or a thing that dehydrates.' As it is not the adjective form of the noun 'thirst', it is a wrong choice. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Option A - 'Thirsty' is the adjective form of the noun 'thirst'. For example, 'I a very thirsty.' Hence, option A is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
He's ___________ boy in the class [Basic]

A
the funnier

B
funniest

C
funnier

D
the funniest

Solution

The boy mentioned in the sentence is a funny boy. However, there is mention of only one boy in the sentence. Hence, option D- the funniest is the most appropriate option which means there is no other boy who is funnier than him in the class. There is a superlative degree of comparison and a definite article is needed to complete the sentence.
Option C- funnier would be used if there is a comparison of the boy with someone.
Option A- the funnier cannot be used as there cannot be a definite article before funnier.
Option B- funniest cannot be used alone as the superlative degree of comparison requires 'the' as the definite article.
