Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    From the options given below, select the most appropriate answer to fill in the blank in the given sentence.
    I saw the man ________ from the first floor.
    Solution
    The given sentence requires present participle to describe the action of the noun before. In option C, the word "falling" is the present participle. Therefore option C is the correct answer.
    Whereas option A,B and D are not the correct answers as option A contains infinitive verb; option B contains past form of verb; and option D contains past participle. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of the verb to fill in the following blank:
    The sale of tickets for the show ______________ from next week.
    Solution
    When the subject is plural, the verb is also in plural form. When the subject is singular, the verb is singular as well.
    This is called subject-verb agreement.

    Option C: The subject 'the sale of tickets' is singular, as 'sale' is the main noun here, and it's singular. It refers to one single unit.
    Also, the action will happen in the future 'next week'.
    'will' in 'will start' is a future tense verb and agrees with the sentence in the tense 'next week'.
    Hence option C is correct.

    Option A: 'is' in 'is started' is a present tense verb, whereas the action is yet to happen.
    Option B: 'are' is a plural verb, whereas the subject 'sale' is singular. Also, it's a present tense verb. The phrase 'are started' does not agree in number as well as tense, with the given sentence.
    Option D: 'was start' is not a correct phrase as 'start' is a base verb and does not express a tense. 'Was' is a helping verb that expresses past tense.
    Since the verbs do not agree with the subject, options A, B and D are wrong.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Which of the options given below may suitably replace the phrase printed in bold to make it grammatically correct? If the sentence requires no correction, mark (d) as the answer.

    The scientific method as a rote item in the syllabus had little valued.
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer because ‘has’ is the third person present form of ‘have’ which means to possess, so it is correct because the statement is a fact that is to be mentioned in the present tense only. 
    Option A is incorrect because it is in past tense while the fact stated is in the present tense. 
    Option C is incorrect because “have” is used for plural forms, while here the scientific method is considered a singular on the whole, and “has” is used for singular forms. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate answer from the options given below: 
    What work __________ you _________ last week?
    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. In the given sentence, we need to fill in a word that determines the correct tense. The action here was performed and completed in the past, we know this as it's given "last week". From the options, 'did, do' is the most suitable set of verbs, where 'did' is the helping verb that determines the tense of the sentence as the past "last week" and 'do' is the main verb in the past tense, that refers to 'performing an action', 'to do work', hence option C is correct. 'Were, do' is an incorrect pair, as 'were' is used in the past continuous tense, and is followed by 'doing' which is also in the past continuous tense 'were you doing', hence option A is incorrect. 'Did, did' is grammatically incorrect, because one of them is required to be a helping verb, as the sentence is in the past tense, 'did you do' is the correct form, hence option B is incorrect. 'Do, did' is incorrect as well, as 'did' being a helping verb precedes the main verb, not vice versa. The sentence is in the past tense, if it were in the present tense it would go like this 'What work do you do?', hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Choose the correct (and most natural-sounding) response to complete the following sentence:

    They _____ their new car two weeks ago.
    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. In the given sentence, we need to fill in a word that determines the correct tense. The action in the given sentence took place in the past "two weeks ago", hence we need a verb in the simple past tense. 'Bought' is in the simple past tense, hence option A is correct. 'Buy' is in the simple present tense, whereas the action has been completed in the past, hence option B is incorrect. 'Have bought' is in the present perfect tense, referring to an action that has just completed, but "two weeks ago" is not a time that is even close to the present, hence option C is incorrect. 'Will buy' is in the future tense, referring to an action that is yet to come, whereas "two weeks ago" refers to an action in the past, hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the best option:

    Honesty ________ the best policy even today.
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer because as the statement says "even today" it is in the present tense, although it includes the past as well, but it is being made in the present, hence "is considered" is the correct answer.
    Option B is incorrect because it means it used to be considered and is not considered anymore.
    Option C and D are incorrect because they are in past tense while the statement is in the present tense.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

    I ___________ to the market three times last week.

    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. In the given sentence, we need to fill in a word that determines the correct tense. The action in this sentence pertaining the market, completed in the past, and we know this as it's mentioned "last week", hence a verb in the simple past tense is required. 'Went' is in the simple past tense, and refers to the action (of going to the market) that completed in the past, hence option B is correct. 'Was go' is grammatically incorrect, as 'was' is used in the past continuous tense 'was going' and 'go' is used in the simple present tense 'I go to the market every week'. Hence option A is incorrect. 'Did go' is in the simple past tense, but it's usually used in the negative form 'did not go', hence option C is incorrect. 'Goed' is not a word, the past tense of 'go' is 'went', hence option D is incorrect. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the suitable option:

    The thief ____________ yesterday and was imprisoned.
    Solution
    The given sentence is in the past: the action already happened 'yesterday'.
    Option C: 'was caught' expresses the simple past tense and is relevant to the given sentence. The action 'the thief was caught' happened in the past, which is expressed by 'yesterday' and 'was imprisoned'.
    Hence, option C is correct.

    Option A: 'Is caught' expresses the simple present tense, whereas the action already happened in the past 'yesterday'.
    Option B: 'Is being caught' expresses the present continuous tense, as opposed to the action in the sentence.
    Option D: 'Has been caught' is in the present perfect tense, and expresses an action that has just completed in the present. But, the sentence is set in the past.
    Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
    The great Mozart ___________ more than 700 pieces of music.
    Solution
    The tense of a sentence denotes a time, whether it is the time now (present), time then (past) or the time to come (future). The verb of a sentence has most to do with the tense. In the given sentence, we need to fill in a word that determines the correct tense. Mozart was a music composer, he is an important figure of history, hence his work too belongs to the past and we need a verb in the past tense, to refer to the music he wrote in his era. 'Wrote' is in the simple past tense, referring to the action that completed in the past, hence option D is correct. 'Writes' is in the present tense, and refers to a habit or routine. Sometimes the simple present tense refers to an action of the past, to make it sound vivid or real, often as a part of a narrative. It's called the historic present, example, 'the army advances toward the fort'. But here, there isn't any need for the action to sound real, the sentence is about a simple act "wrote 700 pieces of music" that took place in the past, hence option A is incorrect. 'Was wrote' is grammatically incorrect, 'was' is used in the past continuous tense whereas 'wrote' is in the simple past, hence option B is incorrect. 'Writed' does not exist in the English language, hence this option isn't valid, and C is incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
    We _______ David in town a few days ago.
    Solution

    The given context refers to a completed action in time before now. Here, the simple past tense in the basic past form of the verb will be used. The formula for simple past tense for first person plural is 'We’+ verb (3rd form) + object (optional). Hence, option B is correct as the 3rd form of the verb see is "saw". 
    A is incorrect as present perfect "has/have + main verb V2" is used to talk about a continuing situation. This is a state that started in the past and will continue in present (and will probably continue into the future). 
    C is grammatically incorrect as the verb that follows did should be used in its base form.
    D is grammatically incorrect as only present participle form or gerund form of verb is used with the auxiliary verb 'was'. It takes the form "was + verb (ing)". Hence, "was seeing" can be correctly used in the past continuous tense.
