Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    ____________ everybody here?
    Solution
    The subject of the given interrogative sentence is "everybody". Though 'everybody' has a plural meaning, it is considered as a singular unit. 
    "Are" in option A is incorrect as it is a present indicative plural verb.
    "Is" in option B is correct as it is the third person present singular indicative verb. This is in agreement with the singular subject.
    "Were" in option C is incorrect as it is a plural past indicative.
    "Does" in option D is incorrect as it is used with third person singular pronouns (he, she, it) and with singular noun forms. 
    Therefore, option B is correct.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Two dozens of cows ______ lying peacefully in the shade.
    Solution
    In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. The rule states that when the noun is in plural form, the verb should also be in the plural form. In this case, the noun is in the plural form and also in the past tense. Thus, the verb should be in past tense and also plural by nature, 
    "were" is a plural verb in the past tense. It is the correct answer
    "was" is a singular verb in the past tense
    "has been" is the wrong choice
    "is" is used as a singular verb in the present tense.
    Option A is correct. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    There ___________ any dentists in the hospital.
    Solution
    In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. Now, if we look into this sentence, "any" is present. "Any" is only used in negative sentences. Thus, this eliminates out option B and D as they are not negative. Now, this sentence is having the noun as plural which proves that the verb should also be plural. 
    "aren't" is a plural verb. It is the correct option.
    "isn't" is a singular verb.  
    Option B is correct
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    There _________ no chalk in the classroom.
    Solution
    We would be understanding the subject-verb agreement in this sentence. The rule states that when the noun is singular, the verb also becomes singular. In this sentence, the noun is in the singular form which is "classroom". 
    "Is" is a singular verb. It is the correct answer
    "are" is a plural verbs and "aren't" means "are not". They are incorrect
    "isn't" means "is not" which makes it negative. To make the use of "isn't" in a valid sentence we require "any" which is not present here. Thus, it is incorrect for this sentence. 
    Option A is correct. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
    __________ I borrow your dictionary?
    Solution
    The context indicates a request for borrowing.
    Thus, "could" in option B is correct. The  modal 'could' is used to make a suggestion or a request. This matches the context of the given sentence.
    "Can't" in option B is incorrect as negative modal is not used to make a request.
    "Manage to" is incorrect as it implies something that has been achieved despite difficulties.
    "Couldn't" is the negative contraction. Negatives are not used to make request.
    Thus, option B is the correct answer.
