Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the best option to complete the conversation:
    Sarah: Sid never worries about anything.
    Mom: Yes, he's a happy-go-______ guy.
    Solution
    A compound adjective is formed with two or more words that function together as an adjective. They are usually separated by the hyphen '-'.
    Option B: From the options, 'lucky' forms a compound adjective 'happy-go-lucky'. It has a meaning different from the literal meaning, like an idiomatic expression. It means 'trusting cheerfully to luck', 'not worrying much'. It relates to the given sentence:"Sid never worries about anything". Hence option B is correct.
    The other words 'worry', 'joyful' and 'careful' each do not form a suitable compound adjective. They all form literal meanings in the sentence, meanings which are not quite relevant. Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
    Was Joan's party better ______ Maria's?
    Solution
    Answer : A

    Explanation :

    "than" is used to present comparison, which is usually contrasting.
    Thus it is suitable for use in this question.

    "much" is used to refer to a large amount.
    It is grammatically incorrect to fill the blank with "much".

    "like" is used to refer to very similar things/situations.
    Grammatically not suitable as per the structure of the sentence.

    "as" is used for comparisons but generally in an "as .... as" sentence structure.

    In this question, the word "better" suggests that agenda is to inquire / bring about the contrast.
    Thus, "than" is the appropriate word from among the options to fill in the blank.

    Therefore the correct complete sentence is :

    Was Joan's party better THAN Maria's?
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Who is the ________ man in the world?
    Solution
    Answer : C

    Explanation:

    The word "the" is used when referring to something specific, say a person or a thing, or a particular quality of someone or something.

    Thus as per the structure of the question, we have to use the superlative degree of the adjective "rich".

    The superlative degree adjective of "rich" is "richest".

    Therefore the correct complete sentence is :

    Who is the RICHEST man in the world?
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct adjective formed from the noun given below:
    Breeze
    Solution
    BREEZE - 'Breeze' is a noun which means 'a light and a pleasant wind'.  For example, 'The cool breeze touched my face.'
     'breeze' is also a verb, which means 'to walk somewhere quickly/ easily' For example, 'He breezed in and danced for us.'
    Option A - 'Breezed' is the verb form, as explained above in the example. Hence, option A is incorrect. 
    Option B - 'Sea breeze' is a noun, which means 'a cool and a pleasant wind blowing from sea towards the land.' Hence, option B is incorrect. 
    Option C - 'Breezy' is the adjective form of 'breeze'. For example, 'It was a breezy day.' Hence, option C is the correct answer.
    Option D - Option D is incorrect, as option C is the answer.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    This is _______ than I expected.
    Solution
    With the presence of "than" in the given sentence, we know that the degree of comparison is comparative. Hard, being a monosyllabic word, needs only the suffix "-er" in addition to the usage of than succeeding it. Thus, Option D is the correct answer. Option A , contains the adverb more, which is used for the comparative degree of multi-syllabic words. Options B and C are the adjectives in the positive and superlative degrees, respectively. Therefore, Options A,B and C are wrong. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    Barbara's __________ than Sarah.
    Solution
    Answer : C

    Explanation:

    In the sentence, we have two subjects, i.e, Barbara & Sarah.

    The construction of the sentence and the options give us a good idea that a comparison is being made between the two subjects.

    Thus to correctly complete the sentence we are supposed to fill the blank with the comparative degree of the adjective:

    --"more" is the comparative degree adjective of "much", which grammatically fits in the blank correctly. Thus it is the most appropriate from the options provided.
    Also, when an adjective has three or more syllables, the comparative degree of the adjective is formed with "more"; and superlative degree with "most".

    --"most" is the superlative degree of "much". It indicates a comparison between more than two things and hence, it is not the appropriate answer for this question. This eliminates option A.

    --"much" means to a greater amount, but it is the base form and it does not indicate comparison.

    --"intelligent" is just an basic adjective, thus it does not fit in here. This eliminates option D.

    Therefore the correct complete sentence is:

    Barbara's MORE INTELLIGENT than Sarah.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The homework was the ________.
    Solution
    Degrees of comparison refers to adjectives being written in different forms to compare one, two or more nouns which are words describing persons, places, and things. The three different forms of comparison are the positive (no comparison), the comparative (between two things) and the superlative (more than two things). In this sentence, before the blank, "the" is mentioned. "The" is only used when the form is in the superlative degree. 
    Option A: "easy" is used for a positive degree when there is no comparison
    Option B: "easier" is used for a comparative degree when two things are compared
    Option C: "easily" is an adverb
    Option D: "easiest" is the superlative degree. 
    Option D is the correct option 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

    Good health is ________ than money.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Jane is _____ than Mary.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, 'Jane' is the subject and 'Mary' is the object. The word 'than' indicates a comparison between the two. Also, we can say that the comparison is of a feature shared by Jane and Mary. Thus, the answer must be an adjective of comparative degree.
    Option A is incorrect. 'very tall' is not an adjective of comparative degree. Also, in 'very tall', 'very' becomes the adjective and 'tall' becomes the object. Thus, using it means that the sentence will have two objects and so it will become grammatically incorrect.
    Option B is correct. 'taller' is an adjective of comparison. It compares the height of Jane with the height of Mary. Thus, it is the correct answer.
    Option C is incorrect. 'the tallest' is an adjective of superlative degree and not comparative degree. Thus, it is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'tallest' is in the superlative degree. Also, adjectives in superlative degree must have a definite article before it. Thus, it is also grammatically incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    He wrote a _____ book last year.
    Solution
    The given sentence tells us that the subject wrote a book last year. In the blank, we have to assign a quality to the book. Thus, the answer must be an adjective of quality while keeping the sentence grammatically correct.
    Option A is correct. 'good' is an adjective of quality. Also, 'a good book' is a grammatically correct phrase. Thus, it is correct.
    Option B is incorrect. 'the worst' starts with an article and there is also an article before the blank. Two articles cannot be placed adjacent to each other and so ,using 'the worst' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    Option C is incorrect. 'worst' is an adjective of quality but, it is in the superlative degree. Adjectives of superlative degree are always preceded by a definite article(the). The sentence, however, contains an indefinite article(a). Thus, using 'worst' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'very' is an adjective of degree and not an adjective of quality. Thus, it cannot be the answer.
