  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Identify the verb which will fill the blank suitably:

    Either she or the men  ______ to go to the principal.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank from the options given below:

    The crowd at the station ___________ growing more dangerous. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    Option C "is" is the correct answer because although there are many people in the crowd, there is only one collective body and that is the crowd. According to the rules of subject-verb agreement, a collective noun that functions as a single unit take a singular verb.
    As Crowd is a singular noun , using "are" would be inappropriate so Option A is ruled out.
    Option B and D are in no relevance to the situation and hence are ruled out.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank from the options given below:

    The roof, along with the house, ________ to be renovated. [Advanced]
  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Identify the person of the verb:

    The plumber hesitated before climbing up the ladder.
    Solution
    The verb in a sentence must have the same person and number as the subject.
    Option D is correct. The person of the subject "The Plumber" is Third Person; therefore, the person of the verb, too, is Third Person. The number of the subject is Singular since there is only one plumber, making the verb of the Plural Number as well.
    Option A is incorrect. The person of the subject is not "I" or "we" (First Person), thus the verb cannot be First Person.
    Option B is incorrect for the same reason as A. The subject is not "I" or "we".
    Option C is incorrect. While the subject is of the Third Person, there is only one plumber, making it singular. Thus, the verb, too must be of the Singular Number.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Fill in the blank with a suitable verb:

    Either the fruit or the leaves of the tree, ______ responsible, for the contamination of the river beneath.

  • Question 7

    Neither the shelf nor the books ______ my most treasured possessions.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    Identify the person of the verb in the given sentence:

    I was hungry by the time the guests arrived.
    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 "I" is First Person; therefore, the verb, too, is First Person. The number of the subject is Singular. "Was", too, like the subject is of the Singular Number. 
    Option B is incorrect. While the verb is of the First Person, the subject "I" is singular. Thus, "was" cannot be of the Plural Number.
    Option C is incorrect. "I" is not Third Person, but First Person. Thus, the verb cannot be in the Third Person as well since it must agree with the person of the subject.
    Option D is incorrect for the same reason as C. "I" is of the First Person. Thus, the verb cannot be of the Third Person.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose using the normal word order for the sentence given below:
    My boss told me to finish the presentation today.
    Solution
    In the English language, the normal order of words in a sentence is: subject + verb + object.
    (When there is an indirect object, then the word order is: subject + verb + indirect object + direct object.) The subject is the performer of the action (verb) and the object is the receiver of that action.
    The given sentence follows the normal word order subject (My boss) + verb (told) + object (me, to finish the presentation). ('Today' is an adverb.)
    Option B is incorrect because the words are not in the required order, they're in the order: subject + direct object + verb + indirect object.
    Option C is incorrect because the sentence isn't in the right order, the indirect object "me" is placed before the verb "told", whereas it should be placed after.
    Option D is incorrect because the sentence is incoherent.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb:
