Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    A: He's the best person for the job.
    B: I _____ so, too; but now I'm not sure.
    Solution
    In the given dialogue 'A' makes a claim and in 'B' states the subject's opinion about the claim. In 'B', the phrase 'but now' indicates that the subject had a different opinion in the past and that opinion has changed in the present. The first clause in 'B' indicates the subject's opinion in the past and so, the answer must be in the past tense.
    Option A is incorrect. 'don't think' is in the present tense and not the past tense. Thus, it is not correct.
    Option B is correct. 'used to think' is in the past tense and thus, it has the required tense and is the correct answer.
    Option C is incorrect. 'think' is in the present tense and not the past tense. Thus, it is not correct.
    Option D is incorrect. 'am thinking' is in the present continuous tense and not the past tense. Thus, it is not correct. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    He ________ his father yesterday morning.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    I was doing the shopping while you ____________ tennis. 
    Solution
    The word 'while' refers to two actions that are happening simultaneously. The first action "was doing the shopping" is a continuous one. Hence the second action (in the blank) must also be in the same tense form. Both actions should be parallel in terms of tense.
    Options A and B: "Were playing" is a continuous action in the past that coincides with the first action. Hence this is the correct option.
    'Played', on the other hand, is in the simple past tense, and isn't an appropriate option.
    Option C: 'Have played' is in the present perfect tense and does not go simultaneously with the past continuous tense.
    Option D: 'Have been playing' is in the present perfect continuous tense and isn't parallel with the first action.
    Hence options C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    He ________ late yesterday.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Policemen often ________ traffic.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Who ________ first this morning?
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    The whale _________ as a fish, but it is actually a mammal.
    Solution
    The given sentence is in passive voice. That means that the subject ("The whale") receives the action. (In active voice, the subject performs the action.) Also, this sentence states a fact, hence it will be in simple present tense. ( The simple present tense states a universal truth or a habit.)
    Option B: 'Is regarded' is in the simple present tense (in passive form). It completes the given sentence, as the whale 'is regarded by the world' as a fish.
    Option A: 'Regards' is a verb in the simple present tense, but it's in the active voice. Hence this option is wrong.
    Option C: The word 'regarded' is a past participle and does not state any tense on its own. 'Is' is an auxiliary verb (helping verb) essential for expressing the tense.
    Option D: The phrase 'which has been regarded' looks like a part of a relative clause (which has been regarded as a fish). It classifies as a defining clause which would be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma before and after the clause. Since there isn't any comma before, this option isn't appropriate.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    She ________ a sweater last Tuesday.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    He ____________ in the heavy rain and came home dripping wet.
    Solution
    Option A: 'Was caught' means that 'he was held or stuck in the heavy rain'. It completes the sentence in meaning, hence option A is correct.
    Option B: 'Caught' is an active verb and is used when the subject performs an action. The subject 'he' here receives the action (of being caught/held) and hence this option isn't correct.
    ('Was caught' is the passive form of the verb 'caught'.)
    Option C: 'Catch' is an active verb in the present tense, whereas the given sentence refers to the past ("came home dripping wet"). Hence C is wrong.
    Option D: 'Have caught' indicates the present perfect tense. It's used when an action has just completed. Also, it's in the active voice, whereas the verb must be in passive. Hence this option is incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The moment she ____ her wounded husband, she burst into tears.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, 'wounded' indicates that the tense of the sentence is past tense. Thus, the answer must also be in the past tense.
    Option A is incorrect. 'will see' is in the future tense and not the past tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent.
    Option B is incorrect. 'sees' is in the present tense and not the past tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent.
    Option C is incorrect. 'has seen' is in the present perfect tense and not the past tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent.
    Option D is correct. 'saw' is in the past tense. Thus, it has the required tense and is the correct answer.
