Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank using the most appropriate future tense forms.
What time __________ you __________ to Delhi today?

A
Shall, go

B
Will, going

C
is, going to go

D
Will, go

Solution

The traditional rule is that 'shall' is used with first person pronouns (i.e. I and we) to form the future tense, while 'will' is used with second and third person forms (i.e. you, he, she, it, they). Therefore option D is the correct answer and option A is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect because the option is faulty in itself as it lacks the word 'be' to form the correct continuous form.
Option C is incorrect because it is in the future continuous form which indicates that the action that is yet to happen in the future will be progressive and also if we fill the first blank with 'is'. it would make the sentence grammatically incorrect. Since the action of leaving for Delhi will not be not a progressive action, this option is incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Replace the underlined tense form with the correct option:If you will work hard you will certainly succeed.

A
work

B
works

C
worked

D
have worked

Solution

The given sentence is a type 1 conditional sentence as it begins with 'if'. It states an unreal situation that is likely to happen. For such sentences, the first verb 'to work hard' is in the simple present tense, followed by the next verb "you will...succeed" in the simple future tense. Hence the future form "will work hard" must be replaced with the simple present form: 'work'. So, option A is correct.
Option B: 'Works' is also in the simple present tense, but it's used when the subject is in the third person point of view: he/she works. The subject 'you' is in the second person, hence B is incorrect.
Option C: 'Worked' is in the past tense. But, the sentence is a type 1 conditional, hence 'worked' is not the correct option. (The simple past tense verb is used in a type 2 conditional sentence, followed by the second verb form in the present continuous form.)
Option D: 'Have worked' is in the present perfect tense, which isn't used in conditionals. Hence D is incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Replace the underlined phrase with a suitable option:Hush! I am hearing some noise in the next room.

A
heard

B
hear

C
was hearing

D
have been hearing

Solution

The verbs of sense (see, hear, taste, feel, smell) are generally used in the simple present tense form. The underlined phrase 'am hearing' sounds unnatural in this sentence. Hence it must be changed.
Option B: 'Hear' is a verb in the simple present tense, it agrees to the sentence as the sentence itself is in the present tense. Hence B is the correct option.
Option A: 'Heard' is in the simple past whereas the sentence is in the present tense.
Options C and D: Similarly, 'was hearing' is in the past continuous tense and 'have been hearing' is in the present perfect continuous tense. As mentioned earlier, the verbs of sense are not used in the continuous form. The exclamation 'Hush!' also suggests that the action 'I hear' is in the immediate present.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Replace the underlined tense form with the correct option:Wait a minute! I am thinking, I know the answer.

A
thinks

B
think

C
was thinking

D
have been thinking

Solution

The actions 'to think' and 'to know' must agree in terms of tense, as this sentence refers to a fact, from the speaker's point of view.
Option B: The tense form 'I know' is in simple present; it describes a state or fact. Hence the underlined verb must also be in the same tense form, which is 'I think'. So, option B is correct.
Option A: 'Thinks' is also in the simple present tense but it is used when the subject is in the third person narrative 'he/she thinks'. But, the subject 'I' is in the first person, hence A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Was thinking' is in the past continuous tense whereas the sentence is in present tense. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Have been thinking' is in the present perfect continuous tense whereas the sentence is in simple present tense. Hence D is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Replace the underlined tense form with the correct option:It's high time you start working hard.

A
starts

B
started

C
have started

D
had started

Solution

'It's high time' is an expression used to make suggestions, when one feels that it's already late for something to happen. In such sentences, the simple past tense form of the verb is used to talk about the present or future. In general, simple past tense can be used to talk about the present/future in phrases with time.
Option B: 'Started' is in the simple past tense and is used in sentences beginning with 'It's high time' to refer to the present time. Hence B is the correct option.
Option A: 'Starts' is a simple present form, just like the underlined verb "start". The only difference between the two is that the former is used for third person 'he/she starts' whereas the latter is used for first and second person: I, you, etc. Since it's in the present tense, it isn't required here. Hence A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Have started' is in the present perfect tense. It means that an action has just been completed.
Option D: Similarly, 'had started' is in the past perfect tense and states that an action has completed in the past. But, the given sentence does not state a completed action. The speaker intends to make a suggestion.
Hence options C and D are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Replace the underlined tense form with the correct option, if necessary:Shakespeare has written 'The Merchant of Venice'.

A
has been writing

B
writes

C
wrote

D
no change

Solution

The underlined verb form "has written" is in the present perfect tense. It states an action that has just been completed in the present.
The given sentence is grammatically correct, but factually incorrect. This is because Shakespeare has not completed the action 'has written' in the present. Hence the underlined verb form must be changed and option D is incorrect.
Option C: 'Wrote' is in the simple past tense and refers to an action which completed in the past. It agrees to the given sentence that also refers to a completed action. Hence C is correct.
Option A: 'Has been writing' is in the present perfect continuous tense. It states an action which began in the past and is still continuing in the present. However, 'The Merchant of Venice' was written and completed centuries ago. Hence A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Writes' is in the simple present tense. It refers to a habit or custom, whereas the sentence refers to a past action. Hence B is incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I _____ tennis this afternoon.

A
'm playing

B
play

C
playing

D
plays
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank:
I wish you _____ louder as I can't hear what you say.

A
Were speaking

B
Spoke

C
Would speak

D
Speak

Solution

We use past tense forms to talk about wishes for the present. Therefore option (b) spoke is the correct choice grammatically.
Question 9
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]
Read the passage and answer the question that follows:
[/passage-header]Suppose an accident occurs as you are passing by. You see a person lying unconscious and helpless. What should you do? You could go past the injured person and look away, or you could stop and help him. It is our duty to help those who are in need of help. Imagine your plight if you had an accident and no one came to your aid$$!$$ We must care about the lives of other people as much as we care about our own.
It is also our duty to help those who are less fortunate than us. In his time, Raja Ram Mohan Roy sought to improve the lot of women in India. He set up schools and institutions to educate them. He worked hard to raise them to a position of respect and importance in the joint family system. He urged them to develop their minds and to acquire some skill. Raja Ram Mohan Roy had a social conscience. He realized that it was his duty to improve the lives of Indian women.
Florence Nightingale cared so much for others that she gave up a life of luxury to devote herself to nursing the sick and the wounded. Elizabeth Fry and Mother Teresa worked all their lives to change the pitiable conditions of prisoners, beggars and all who were less fortunate than them. Both of them dedicated their lives to the cause of the poor, sick, and the handicapped.
You, too, must develop within yourself this feeling of concern for the welfare of others. We all cannot be Florence Nightingales or Mother Teresas but we can certainly develop the ability to be kind-hearted towards other people.

...view full instructions

The pitiable conditions of the poor and sick __________ due to the efforts of Mother Teresa.

A
Is changed

B
Are changed

C
Was changed

D
Were changed

Solution

Since the action of changing happened in the past, and more than one condition is implied (conditions), the verb form should be were+past participle of root verb, that is, were changed. Hence, Option B is correct.
The rest of the options mention actions that are happening on a daily basis (options A and B). (option C) 'Was' is a singular verb following a singular subject, whereas the subject 'conditions' is plural.
Hence these options are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence with a verb in the past perfect tense.
Dario said that he _____ all his homework before he left for Delhi.

A
had finished

B
is finishing

C
was finishing

D
has finished

Solution

The past perfect tense is used to indicate actions which started in the past and completed in the past. The format for using this tense is: 'had+ past participle of the verb'. The past participle of the verb, 'finish' is 'finished'. Hence, the appropriate past perfect form is: 'had finished'. Hence, option A is correct.
The verb, 'is finishing' is in the present continuous tense. The verb, 'was finishing' is in the past continuous tense. The verb, 'has finished' is in the present perfect tense. Hence, options B, C and D are incorrect.
