Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the correct alternative of the verb given in brackets.
When he was unmarried, he often _____ (arrive) home late.

A
was arriving

B
had arrived

C
arrived

D
would arrived

Solution

Simple past tense is used to indicate an action completed in the past. It often appears with an adverb or adverbial phrase of time.
In the given sentence, the adverb phrase of time is: 'When he was unmarried', denoting when the action (arrive) happened. Simple past tense of the verb, 'arrive' is: arrived. Hence option C is correct.
Option A denotes past continuous tense (an action which was going on at some time in the past and was unfinished). Option B is in past perfect tense (an action completed before a certain moment in the past). Option D is grammatically incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Use the correct form of the verb in the brackets.

He _____ (be) here next Sunday.

A
will be

B
will been

C
will have been coming

D
will have come

Solution

The only option that correctly completes the sentence is A. The remaining options have the verb 'come' and do not include the use of a 'be' verb as required by the question.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in the bracket.

The students ______ answers to all my questions. (give)

A
Gave

B
Given

C
Were given

D
Is giving

Solution

Option D) is incorrect because 'students' is plural so 'is giving' is grammatically incorrect. Options B) and C) are also grammatically incorrect. In option B) given is missing a word such as 'had' before it which would have made the option correct. For option C) were given, the meaning of the sentence becomes 'the students were provided with something'. But obviously, students will not be given the answers. Hence, this option is incorrect. So, the answer is Option A) gave.
Question 4
1 / -0

Complete the following sentence using the correct form of the verb in the brackets.

Mr. Gupta's servant _______ (steal) the money yesterday.

A
stole

B
steal

C
stolen

D
were stealing

Solution

From the given options, the correct word to be used is A) stole.
Option B) steal is incorrect because 'steal' is in the present tense. However, the word 'yesterday' in the sentence indicates that the 'stealing' happened in the past.
Option C) stolen would have been correct if the blank was preceded by 'had'.
Option D) were stealing is incorrect because there is only one servant and 'were' is plural.
So, the correct answer is A) stole, which is in the simple past tense.
Question 5
1 / -0

A sentence can be formed when A, B, C, and D are put in order. Identify the part which has an error.

A
He stole the pen

B
but he giving

C
it back because

D
he felt guilty.

Solution

A) He stole the pen- past tense
B) But he giving is grammatically wrong. Giving is in the present continuous tense.
C) and D) are correct.
So, the wrong option is B) But he giving.
The sentence should read, 'He stole the pen but he gave it back because he felt guilty.'

Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in the bracket:
What ____ your father know about the revolution? (do)

A
don't

B
had done

C
does

D
do

Solution

Options A and B are wrong since they would make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option D) do is wrong because 'do' is used for plural nouns while 'father' is singular.
Hence, option C) does is the right answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

In the sentence given below, one word has been omitted. Identify the missing word as well as the words which come before and after it.

In the Middle ages, most towns dirty.

A

Towns will be

Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb given in the bracket.

He scratched his head and _______ for a moment. (think)

A
Had been thinking

B
Thinking

C

D
Thought

Solution

The sentence uses the verb scratch in the simple past tense as scratched . So the word to be used in the blank should be a simple past tense form of 'think'.
Option A) is in the past perfect continuous tense. Option B) thinking is in the present tense while Option C) was thinking is in the past continuous tense.
So, the most appropriate answer is D) thought (in the simple past tense).
