Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
    Geoffrey _____French before, but he______ it at the university now.
    Solution
    The auxiliary verb 'did/did not' must be used before the verb. So, "study didn't/studies" in option A is incorrect.
    "Didn't study/study" in option B is incorrect as there is subject verb disagreement in the second blank. The verb should be singular 'studies' to accompany the singular pronoun 'he'.
    "Did not study/studies" in option C is correct as the conjunction 'but' indicates contrast. Thus, Geoffrey did not study is correct.  Also, 'studies' is correctly used for the singular pronoun 'he'. 
    "Didn't studied/studies" in option D is incorrect as didn't studied is ungrammatical. 
    Thus, option C is the correct answer.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:
    We won't go unless the weather ________ fine.
    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, "is" in option B is the correct answer. This is the third person present singular form of the verb 'be' and is used to indicate the simple present tense. 
    "Will be" in option A is incorrect as this indicates the simple future tense or an event that hasn't taken place as yet. 
    "Won't be" in option C is incorrect as it is the negative contraction for an event in the future.
    "Isn't" in option D is incorrect as it will make the sentence a double negative. "We won't go" is already a negative and "weather isn't fine" becomes double negative. This is ungrammatical and incorrect.
    Thus, option B is the correct answer. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The police __________ looking for a man who escaped from prison.
    Solution
    In this sentence we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. The rule states that some nouns are singular in form, but plural in meaning, take plural verb. "Police" is plural in meaning.
    "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. It is the wrong choice.
    "has been" is used with the present perfect tense, which is used when we want to talk about something that started in the past but is still going on right now in the present OR is still relevant / true today. It is also the wrong option. 

    Option C is correct. 

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
    In my country you _________ get married when you're sixteen.
    Solution
    The given sentence indicates a situation where it is possible for 16 year old people to marry.
    "Can" in option A is a modal verb which is used to express ability, opportunity, request, permission or possibility. Thus, this matches the context and is correct. It indicates that the people in my country have permission to marry when they're sixteen.
    "Could" in option B is incorrect as it is used to     express possibility or past ability. It is used to make suggestions and requests. It is also used in conditional sentences as the conditional form of 'can'. Here, the conditional form is not required and the modal should take the present tense form and not its past participle form 'could'.
    "Managed to" in option C indicates success in achieving something despite difficult circumstances. Here, the context implies official permission, so difficult circumstances become void.
    "Couldn't" in option D indicates the impossibility of an action in the past. This does not match the context.
    Thus, option A is correct.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The Town Council ______ against raising the rents of its houses.
    Solution
    In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. The rule states that a collective noun always takes a singular verb when the collection is thought as a whole. In this case, it is thought as a whole. 
    "are" and "were" are plural verbs
    "is" is a singular verb. It is the correct option
    "aren't" means "are not". It is the wrong choice. 
    Option C is correct. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Not all English people ______ fish and chips.
    Solution
    In this sentence we would be understanding the agreement of verb with subject. This particular sentence is in the third person and in plural form too. Now, since the sentence is already negative we cannot add another negative word. This excludes "Option B" and "Option C". Now since the sentence is in the third person and plural form, the verbs won't be having an "s" added to the end.
    Option D is the correct answer.  
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Some of his advice ______ funny.
    Solution
    In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. The rule states that when the noun is in singular form, the verb should also be in the singular form. In this case, the noun is in the singular form and also in the past tense. Thus, the verb should be in past tense and also singular by nature, 
    "are" is plural verb in present tense. 
    "was" is singular verb in past tense. It is the correct answer
    "aren't" means are not. It is the wrong choice
    "were" is used as a plural verb in past tense..
    Option C is correct. 

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The aims of the course ___ me willing to begin.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The poor ______ unable to look after themselves.
    Solution
    In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. The rule states that when a group is considered the verb is always plural. In this case, "poor" specifies group of people.
    "are" is plural verb in present tense. It is the correct answer
    "was" is singular verb in past tense
    "has been" is the wrong choice
    "is" is used as a singular verb in present tense..
    Option A is correct. 

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
    Speak up! I _________ hear you!
    Solution
    The sentence refers to the inability of hearing as it asks to speak up or speak loudly.
    Thus, "can't" in option C is correct. The modal verb 'can' indicates the ability or possibility of an action. The contraction 'can't' indicates 'cannot' which implies inability or impossibility. Thus, this matches the context.
    "Can" in option A indicates ability, whereas the context implies inability. Thus, this is incorrect.
    "Could" is the past participle of the modal 'can'. This is incorrect.
    "Couldn't" in option D is incorrect as 'couldn't" is the past participle form of the negative modal 'cannot'. The context refers to the present tense, so past participle cannot be used.
    Thus, option C is the correct answer.
