Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb that agrees with the subject:

    Nobody _______ the trouble I've seen.
    Solution
    The basic rule of Subject-Verb agreement is that a singular subject takes a singular verb while a plural subject takes a plural verb. The verb must always agree with the subject of a sentence. 
    Option C is correct. "Nobody" is a singular third person noun and thus requires a singular third person verb, that is, "knows". 
    Option A is incorrect as "nobody" is neither plural nor first/second person.
    Option B is incorrect as the past tense "knew" does not match with the present tense of the sentence.
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in C.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Replace the sentence using the correct order of words:
    The teacher the student rewarded for scoring a hundred percent in his test.
    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 "the student" is placed before the verb "rewarded", whereas it should be placed after. Hence the sentence requires change and option A is incorrect.
    Option B is correct as the sentence follows the normal word order subject (The teacher) + verb (rewarded) + object (the student).
    Option C is incorrect because the words are not in the required order: object + verb + subject.
    Option D is incorrect because the verb "rewarded" is placed before the subject "teacher", which isn't the normal word order.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Rearrange the words so as to make the sentence grammatically correct.

    She that someone had been following her suddenly turned and saw.
    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 "that someone had been following her" is placed before the verb "turned and saw", whereas it should be placed after. Hence the sentence requires change and option A is incorrect.
    Option B is correct as the sentence follows the normal word order subject (She) + verb (turned and saw) + object (that someone...).
    Option C is incorrect because the words are not in the required order, they're in the order: part of verb + subject + part of verb + object.
    Option D is incorrect because the sentence is incoherent.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Rewrite the sentence using the normal word order:
    She told me that you told her not to stay up late.
    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 order is as follows: subject (She) + verb (told) + indirect object (me) + direct object (that you told her not to stay up late). This is the normal order of words, hence the sentence requires no change and option A is correct.
    Option B is incorrect because the indirect object "me" is placed before the verb "told". (This order is usually seen in the French language.)
    Option C is incorrect because the words are not ordered correctly, the sentence makes no sense.
    Option D is incorrect because the direct object "you told her..." is placed before the subject and verb, the order isn't correct.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct form of the verb:

    ______ the news on at five or six? [Basic]
    Solution
    The basic rule of subject-verb agreement is that a singular object takes a singular verb while a plural subject takes a plural verb. In this sense, the verb must always agree with the subject of a sentence.
    Option A is correct. "News" is not the plural of "new" (there is not plural of new since "new " is not a noun). "News" is a singular noun and thus, requires a singular verb, "is".
    Options B and C are incorrect as the verbs "are" and "aren't" are plural verbs and not singular.
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in A.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Rewrite the sentence using the normal word order:
    The boys at the dog hurled stones.
    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 indirect object "at the dog" is placed before the verb "hurled", whereas it should be placed after. Hence the sentence requires change and option A is incorrect.
    Option B is correct as the sentence follows the normal word order subject (The boys) + verb (hurled) + object (stones, at the dog).
    Option C is incorrect because the words are not in the required order, they're in this order: object + verb + subject.
    Option D is incorrect because the direct object "stones" is placed before the verb.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Convert the sentence using the correct word order:
    Please him explain not to gamble - it's a self-destructive addiction.
    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 "him" is placed before the verb "explain", whereas it should be placed after. Hence the sentence requires change and option A is incorrect.
    Option C is correct as the sentence follows the normal word order: subject (you) + verb (explain) + object (him, not to gamble).
    (In imperative sentences that express a request (please) or a command, the subject is usually not present, it's implied.)
    Option B is incorrect because the words are not in the required order, they're in this order: object + verb.
    Option D is incorrect because the words are not in order; the sentence is incoherent in meaning.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Rewrite the sentence using the normal word order:
    Eden me told his biggest secret yesterday.
    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 indirect object "me" is placed before the verb "told", whereas it should be placed after. Hence the sentence requires change and option A is incorrect.
    Option C is correct as the sentence follows the normal word order- subject (Eden) + verb (told) + indirect object (me) + direct object (biggest secret).
    Option B is incorrect because the words are not in the required order; the adverb "yesterday" has taken place of the subject.
    Option D is incorrect because the indirect object "me" is placed before the subject "Eden". It does not follow the correct word order.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct person of the verb:

    I _______ to the teacher.
    Solution
    The person and number of the verb is always the same as that of the subject of the sentence.
    Option B is correct. The subject "I" is first person singular. Thus, it requires a first person singular verb, namely, "speak".
    Option A is incorrect since "speaks" is not first person. It is third person.
    Option C is incorrect as "speaking" is incomplete. It should be "am speaking".
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in B.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb:

    The concert-goers _______ their approval when they realise they'll be getting an encore.
    Solution
    Choice C is correct as 'roar' is the simple present tense and agrees with other verb 'realise'. Choice B is wrong as -ing form is present continuous. Choice B is wrong as 'roars' does not agree with the subject 'concert-goers'. Choice D is wrong.
