Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
Little Women are a great read for young girls. [Intermediate]

A
is

B
have been

C
are being

D
NO CHANGE
Question 2
1 / -0

The United States have fifty states and various territories.

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word. [Intermediate]

A
has

B
have had

C
is having

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The subject of the sentence, the United States, is a singular identity. Thus, the verb will be in singular form. Since the tense is in simple present, the most suitable replacement for the verb in the question is Option A, has. Options B and C have different forms of the verb which are not in agreement with the subject. Hence, options B,C and D are all incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

None of the cats is eating their food today. [Intermediate]

A
was

B
are

C
has been

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

When 'none' is followed by 'of', look at the noun in the of-phrase (object of the preposition). If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb.
According to the stated rule, option B is the correct answer because the object of the preposition, 'cats', is plural and the plural verb 'are' is to be used for the sentence to be grammatically correct.
Options A, C and D are incorrect because 'was', 'has been' and 'is' are singular verbs. Since the object of the preposition is plural, none of these verbs can be used with it.
Question 4
1 / -0

The Netherlands have an abundance of cycling routes.

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word. [Basic]

A
is having

B
have had

C
has

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

Option C is the correct answer. The tense being in simple present, since the subject, the Netherlands is a singular entity, has is the best replacement for have. Options A and B have different tenses, which are not in agreement with the subject in the sentence. Thus, options A,B and D are all incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence.
Dining table, property of a rich duke, made from oak wood, he bought.

A
He bought the property of a rich duke made from oak wood, a dining table.

B
He bought a dining table made from oak wood, the property of a rich duke.

C
He bought the property of a rich duke, a dining table, made from oak wood.

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

Option B is the correct answer. It very suitably describes the origin of the object in question in a very sequential manner. This is where the other sentences fail to make sense. The sequence of the sentence goes through from one one object to the other without breaking the flow. Thus, Options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the transitive and intransitive verbs at the underlined point:
Our teachers ___ from Europe. [Basic]

A
is

B
are

C
was

D
am

Solution

The correct answer is option B. 'Are' is used with plural noun in present tense. The sentence is in present tense and the word 'teachers' is the plural noun. 'Option C is wrong as it is used in past tense. Option A is wrong since it is used with singular noun and option D is wrong as it is used with I in present tense.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the option that best fits in the blank:
His choices ___ the subject of our conversation. [Advanced]

A
is

B
are

C
was

D
am

Solution

The correct answer is option B. 'Are' is used with plural noun in present tense. The sentence is in present tense and 'choices' is the plural noun. 'Option C is wrong as it is used in past tense. Option A is wrong since it is used with singular noun and option D is wrong as it is used with I in present tense.
Question 8
1 / -0

Neither of the answers provided in the memorandum address my concerns about the validity of the procedure.

Choose the option that indicates the error in the sentence.

A
Memorandum

B
Address

C
About

D
Validity of

E
No error

Solution

Option B is the correct answer. The correct form of the verb would be "addresses", since the subject of the sentence, neither of the answers, is in third person and singular form. Neither indicates the singularity of the options, thus, an "-s" or "-es" will be added to the verb. Thus, the correct form of the verb here would be 'addresses'. The answers in options A,C and D are correct in their usages in the sentences. Therefore, Options A,C,D and E are all incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Neither Bradley nor more recent critics who have written on Shakespeare's tragedies has been able to give a convincing explanation for the timing of events in Othello.

Choose the option that indicates the error in the sentence.

A
More

B
Have written

C
Has

D
Timing of

E
No error

Solution

When there is 'neither..nor' construction, the verb number agrees with the number of the subject closest to it. Here, the subject closest to the verb is 'recent critics' which is plural in nature, therefore, we need a plural verb to agree with the plural subject 'recent critics'. That makes option C the correct option as it indicates the error in the sentence. The rest of the sentence is correct.
Question 10
1 / -0

Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any).
When two vowel (a) / sounds occurs in direct succession, (b) / the transition between them is often difficult to make. (c) / No error (d)

A
a

B
b

C
c

D
d

Solution

In this sentence, we would be understanding the mistake in the given phrases. In the second phrase, that it part (b), two plural forms are used consecutively, which is a wrong usage. The sentence should either have been "sounds occur in direct succession" or "sound occurs in direct succession". Thus in part (b) there is a grammatical error.
Option B is the right answer.
