Question 5
1 / -0

Select the most appropriate word for the black space:
The French ______ reputed to have a very good sense of humour. [Advanced]

A
Is

B
Was

C
Are

D
Will be

Solution

"The French" is a plural noun which refers to the people of France collectively. In case of collective plural nouns, plural form of verb is used to modify the noun. Also, the sentence uses the main verb "reputed" which indicates generally supposed to be such. In such cases the simple present tense is considered correct. Hence, the plural auxiliary verb "are" is the correct answer. Option C is correct.
Option A is incorrect as "is" is a singular verb.
Option B is incorrect as "was" is used for past tense.
Option D is incorrect as "will be" is used for future tense.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable auxiliary verb:
Each of the players _________ given a prize by the headmaster.

A
Was

B
Did

C
Does

D
Is

Solution

In this question, we have to apply the concept of Subject-Verb Agreement.
In the given sentence, "Each of the players" is the subject. "Each" refers to every single person in a group or every individual. And therefore a singular verb is used. However option C "is" cannot be used here as its use here will denote a habitual action which is not favourable as per the sentence given. Option B "Did" and option C "does" cannot be used here as they are basically used in interrogatives or emphasizing a work. So option A, "was" is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the correct verb from the options given below:
Many a man _______ succumbed to the evils of life.

A
were

B
have

C
has

D
are

Solution

In this particular sentence we can see that it is a third person and it is in singular form and present tense.
Were is a plural verb for past tense
Have is the root verb and is generally used alongside the pronouns I / You / We / Ye and They and plural noun. It is the wrong option
Has is used alongside the pronouns He / She / It and Who and singular. It is the correct option
are is a plural verb for present tense.
Option C is correct
Question 8
1 / -0

Change the sentence using the normal word order:
I Grant Gustin saw at the comic con festival.

A
NO CHANGE

B
Grant Gustin saw I at the comic con festival.

C
Comic con festival saw Grant Gustin at I.

D
I saw Grant Gustin at the comic con festival.

Solution

In the English language, the normal order of words in a sentence is: subject + verb + object. The subject is the performer of the action (verb) and the object is the receiver of that action.
In the given sentence, the object "Grant Gustin" is placed before the verb "saw", whereas it should be placed after. Hence the sentence requires change and option A is incorrect.
Option D is correct as the sentence follows the normal word order subject (I) + verb (saw) + object (Grant Gustin).
Option B is incorrect because "I" can't be the object; it's a subject pronoun.
Option C is incorrect because the adverb of place ("Comic con festival" without "at") has been placed as the subject and vice versa. The sentence hence, makes no sense.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct option.
A few hour's study _____ enough. [Intermediate]

A
Is

B
Are

C
The

D
None of the above

Solution

The 'subject' of a sentence is the noun to which the verb in the sentence refers, and so the two must always agree in number: singular subjects must be paired with singular verbs; and plural subjects, with plural verbs.
In the sentence, the subject (study) is singular. So, the verb should be singular (is) and not plural (are).
The is used with or as part of a title. Also, it is grammatically incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Neither the deer nor the birds ______ any food to eat.

A
