Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
Flora____drive a car but she _____ride a motorbike.

A
Can / can't

B
Is / can't

C
Can't / can't

D
Is / can

Solution

Here, the context refers to ability to complete an action. Thus, options B and D "is/can't" and "is/can" are incorrect as the auxiliary verb 'is' is incorrect.
"Can/can't" in option A is correct as 'but' indicates a contrast. Thus, one action can be done and the other can't be done.
"Can't/can't" in option C is incorrect as both indicate the ability to do the actions. However, 'but' indicates a contrast. Thus, one should indicate ability and the other should indicate inability.
Therefore, option A is correct.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct option:
Advise is a ______.

A
Noun

B
Verb

C
Conjunction

D
Preposition.

Solution

"Advise" means to offer suggestions about the best course of action to someone.
"Advice" means guidance or recommendations offered with regard to prudent future action which is the noun. Thus, option A is wrong
"Advise" remains in a verb form as it describes an action, state, or occurrence. Option B is the right choice.
A word used to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate words in the same clause is a conjunction. It is the wrong choice.
A word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause is a preposition. It is the wrong choice.
Option B is correct.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
If the police ___________ arrive soon, they'll be too late.

A
isn't

B
weren't

C
don't

D
wasn't

Solution

In forming negative sentences, "don't" is used along with the main verb (except to infinitive or modal verbs). As the context refers to an action that will occur due to some other not happening, the sentence will become a negative sentence and take the negative auxiliary "don't" which is the contraction of "does not". This indicates the action 'do'.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
"Isn't" in option A is incorrect as it indicates the auxiliary 'be'. Here, the reference is to an action actually happening, so the verb 'do' should be used in its negative from.
"Weren't" in option B is incorrect as it is the second person singular past, plural past, and past subjunctive of the auxiliary verb "be". Here, the reference is to the actual action , so the action verb 'do' should be used.
"Wasn't" in option D is also incorrect due to being the past tense of 'be'.
Thus, option C is correct.
Question 4
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:
I wish I ____________ the last bus. Now I'll have to walk.

A
Didn't miss

B
Hadn't missed

C
Wouldn't miss

D
Wouldn't have missed

Solution

The context is a conditional sentence where regret happened (or failed to happen) in the past and is, therefore, impossible to change. So, the third type of conditional structure followed by past perfect will be used.
So, the blank will have the past perfect form of the verb Had/had not + V3.
"Didn't miss" in option A is incorrect as this is used to indicate the simple past tense.
"Hadn't missed" in option B is correct as it takes the past perfect form. This indicates an action that is impossible to change.
"Wouldn't miss" in option C is incorrect as it is used in imagined conditions in conditional sentences.
"Wouldn't have missed" in option D is incorrect as the conditional sentences use this in imagined conditions in future perfect tense.
Thus, option B is correct.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Half of the salad ________ yours.

A
is

B
were

C
are

D
aren't

Solution

In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject-verb agreement.
When the noun is singular, the verb also becomes singular. Thus, in this case, since the noun is singular, the verb used should also be singular that too in the present tense.
"were" is a plural verb in the past tense. It is the wrong choice
"was" is a singular verb in the past tense. It is also the wrong choice.
"are" is a plural verb used in present tenses. It is the wrong choice
"is" is a singular verb. It is the correct option
Option A is correct.
Question 6
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:
I will go home for vacation as soon as I _________ my exams.

A
Will finish

B
Finish

C
Am finishing

D
Finished

Solution

The sentence refers to a future event on a designated date as a part of plan or arrangement. In such cases, simple present tense form or base form of verb is used.
Thus, "finish" in option B is the correct answer. This is the base form of the verb and is used to indicate the simple present tense.
"Will finish" in option A is incorrect as this indicates the simple future tense or an event that hasn't taken place as yet.
"Am finishing" in option C is incorrect as it is the present continuous form of the verb and indicates an action that is taking place at the time of speaking.
"Finished" in option D is incorrect as it indicates an action already completed or the simple past tense.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Most of the students _________ in the classroom now.

A
were

B
was

C
are

D
is

Solution

In this sentence we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. When the subject of a sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns connected by and, use a plural verb. Since, in this sentence the subject is composed of more than one noun, the verb would also be in plural form but in the present tense (since, the sentence is in the present tense).
"were" is a plural verb in the past tense. It is the wrong choice
"was" is a singular verb in the past tense. It is also the wrong choice.
"are" is a plural verb used in present tenses. It is the correct option
"is" is a singular verb.

Option C is correct.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
There ________ some fish very near the coast.

A
weren't

B
was

C
wasn't

D
were

Solution

The sentence is indicative of fishes being present. Thus, the negative "weren't" in option A and "wasn't" in option C are incorrect.
"Was" in option B is incorrect as this verb is indicative of first and third person singular noun/pronoun.
"Were" in option D is the correct answer as it is used to indicate plural subjects. 'Some fish' in the given context is used as a common noun indicating an unspecified number of fishes. Thus, the plural verb "were' complements the subject.
Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Everyone ___________ in the room now.

A
are

B
is

C
were

D
weren't

Solution

In this sentence, we would be understanding the agreement of a verb with the subject. Indefinite pronouns (everyone, each one, someone, somebody, no one, nobody, anyone, anybody, etc.) are always singular.
"are" is a plural verb
"is" is a singular verb. It is the correct option
"were" is again a plural verb
"weren't" is a plural verb in the negative sense.
Option B is correct.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate verb form:
I refuse to believe her having told me the truth.
I refuse to believe that she ___________ me the truth.

A
Tell

B
Tells

C
Has told

D
Would tell

Solution

Present perfect tense is used to indicate an action which is not defined by a time of occurrence. Here, the context will take the form S + has + V3 + O.
"Tell" in option A is incorrect as this is the base form of the verb and is not used in present perfect tense.
"Tells" in option B is incorrect as the context refers to an action which is not defined by time of occurrence. Thus, present perfect tense will be used here.
"Has told" in option C is correct as this is the correct present perfect perfect tense form of the verb. It is used with the auxiliary verb 'has/have' and the past participle form of the verb.
"Would tell" in option D is incorrect as this indicates the conditional present, whereas the time of occurrence is not mentioned here. So, present perfect should be used.
Thus, option C is correct.
