  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the Blank:
    One of the students ______ absent yesterday.
    Solution
    In this sentence we would be understanding the agreement of verbs with the subject. In this particular sentence, a mention has been made about one of the student which makes the subject singular. If the subject is singular, the verb used should also be singular. Moreover, this sentence is also in the past tense, thus the verb should be the singular past form
    "were" is a plural verb in the past tense. It is the wrong option
    "Was" is a singular verb in past tense. It is the right option
    "Are" is a plural verb in present tense. It is the wrong option
    Have is the root VERB and is generally used alongside the PRONOUNS I / You / We / Ye and They and PLURAL NOUNS. It is the wrong option
    Option B is correct.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Identify the person of verb:

    We saw the man on the other side of the road.
    Solution
    The verb in a sentence must have the same person and number as the subject.
    Option A is correct. The person of the subject "we" is First Person; therefore, the person of the verb, too, is first person. The number of the subject is plural, making the verb plural as well.
    Option B is incorrect. The person of the subject is First Person since it is from the subject's point of view, making the verb First Person as well. However, "we" is a subject of Plural number, not singular. Thus, "saw" must be plural as well.
    Option C is incorrect. "We" means that it is from the subject's point of view, making it first person. The verb, too, must be First Person and not Second Person.
    Option D is incorrect. "We" is not Third Person, but First Person. Thus the person of the verb cannot be Third Person. There is no subject-verb agreement.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Identify the person of the verb:

    The traveller stopped to get some coffee.
    Solution
    The verb in a sentence must have the same person and number as the subject.
    Option B is correct. The person of the subject "The traveller" is Third Person; therefore, the person of the verb, too, is Third Person. The number of the subject Singular since there is only one traveller, making the verb of the Singular Number as well.
    Option A is incorrect. The person of the subject is not "you" (Second Person). Thus, the verb cannot be of the Second Person.
    Option C is incorrect. The subject is not "I" (First Person). Thus, the verb cannot be in the first person.
    Option D is incorrect for the same reason as option A. The subject is not "you" (Second Person).

    1 / -0

    Identify the verb and its person in the following sentence:

    Choose an appropriate word for blank [3]:
    Solution
    The given passage is a narration of events that have already taken place, as suggested by the past tense verbs 'could', 'knew', 'hadn't eaten', etc.
    'Could' is a modal verb. It is a past tense form of 'can'.
    Verbs of the senses (smell, taste, see, etc.) and mental processes (think, believe, understand) with reference to ability (the modal 'could') do not change their tense form.
    Hence, when 'could' refers to a single past event, 'to think clearly', it is simply paired with the base verb 'think', forming 'could not think' in the given sentence. 'The phrase 'could not think clearly' refers to the lack of ability; it means that he, Rusty, was not able to think clearly.
    Hence C, 'think', is the correct option.
    The modal verb 'could' does not combine with any other tense verb while referring to ability. Since 'thinks' is in the present tense, 'thought' is a past tense verb and 'thinking' is a present participle, all these options are not suitable.
    Hence A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Identify the person of the verb:

    We all have to learn to handle stress.
    Solution
    The verb in a sentence must have the same person and number as the subject. 
    Option B is correct. The person of the subject "we" is First Person; therefore, the person of the verb, too, is First Person. The number of the subject is Plural, making the verb Plural as well.
    Option A is incorrect. The person of the subject is First Person since it is from the subject's point of view, making the verb First Person as well. However, "we" is a subject of Plural Number, not Singular. Thus, "handle" must be plural as well.
    Option C is incorrect. "We" means that it is from the subject's point of view, making it first person. The verb, too, must be First Person and not Third Person.
    Option D is incorrect. "We" is not Third Person, but First Person. Thus the person of the verb cannot be Third Person. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct answer to fill in the blank from the options given.
    A swarm of bees ________ building a hive outside the house. [Basic]
    Solution
    Here, swarm is a collective noun. Thus, A swarm of bees means one swarm, containing many bees. Options B and D indicate a plural sense hence, they can be eliminated. Option C is used when the entity is referring to itself and hence this too can be omitted. Hence the correct answer is A. 'is'.
    Thus the correct sentence is: 
    A swarm of bees is building a hive outside the house.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct option.
    He is the man who ___________ son's welfare.
    Solution
    In this sentence we would be identifying the correct form of verb that fits the sentence. One of the rule state that third-person singular nouns have "s" added to the end of the verb. In this particular sentence, it is a third person singular noun, thus "s" should be added. 
    "Seeks" is the correct answer as "s" has been added.
    "seek", "see" and "seen" the wrong options as they don't have the "s" added. 
    Option B is correct. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    ...view full instructions

    Replace the word at [6] with an appropriate option:
    Solution
    The entire paragraph is being told in the past tense. Since we are talking about a plural entity, i.e arms and legs, the plural form of the verb "to be" should be used. Options A and D are incorrect since they refer to a single object. Since the paragraph is in the past tense, option C. cannot be used and hence the correct answer is option B. were.
    The correct sentence is:
    After many hours of deep sleep, Gulliver woke up. But, he could not move his hands or legs. Coming to his full senses, he was shocked to see that his arms and legs were fastened.
