  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with suitable adjective from the options given:
    Most Indians are ________ with their domestic expenditure.
    Solution
    Option A - 'More economical' is the comparative degree of the adjective. The given sentence doesn't compare anything, hence we can't use 'very precious' which is the comparative of an adjective here. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Economics' is a noun, which means 'the study of trade'. As we need an adjective, we can't use a noun here. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Most economical' is the superlative form of the adjective, which can only be used to talk about the superior degree. As the sentence already uses the superlative form of adjective 'most Indians', we can't use the superlative form again. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Economical' is an adjective, which means 'not using a lot of money'. As the given sentence is a general statement, we can use the positive degree of adjective here. Thus option C is the correct answer.
    'Most Indians are economical with their domestic expenditure.'
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using demonstrative adjectives:
    This house is better than ________.
    Solution
    The word 'than' explains that the sentence is about the comparison between houses. 
    Option A - 'This' is used with singular nouns to determine the nouns, it is not used for comparison, thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Such' is used to explain the things that are previously mentioned or to be mentioned. It is not a comparative adjective. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - As option A is incorrect, option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'That' can be used to compare, for example, 'This dress is better than that red one.' Thus option B is the correct answer.
    'This house is better than that.'
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using a demonstrative adjective:
    What was ________ noise?
    Solution
    'Noise' is singular.
    'Was' explains that the given interrogatory sentence is in the simple past tense. 
    Option A - 'This' is used with a singular subject that is near to us. As 'noise' is not near or not heard in the present, we can't use 'this' here. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'These' is used with a plural subject that is near to us. However, 'noise' is singular. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Those' is used with a plural subject that is far to us. However, 'noise' is singular. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'That' is used with a singular subject that is far to us. As 'noise' was heard in the past, we can use 'that'. Thus option B is the correct answer.
    'What was that noise?'
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using demonstrative adjective:
    ________ book is mine.
    Solution
    'Book' is a singular noun and hence we need a singular demonstrative adjective.
    Option A - 'This' is used with a singular noun.
    Option B - 'That' is used with a singular noun.
    Option C - 'These' is used with a plural noun.
    Option D - As 'this' and 'that' are both used with a singular noun, option A and B are correct. Thus option D is the correct answer.
    'This/That book is mine.'
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with suitable adjective from the options given:
    My parents are very ________ about my joining in the NCC.
    Solution
    Option A - 'Enthusiasm' is a noun, which means 'full of energy and excitement'. As we need an adjective, we can't use the noun here. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Enthusing' is a verb in the continuous form, which means 'to express eagerness'. As we need an adjective, we can't use the verb. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Enthuse' is a verb, which means 'to express eagerness.' As we need an adjective, we can't use the verb. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Enthusiastic' is an adjective, which means 'showing enthusiasm'. Thus option B is the correct answer.
    'My parents are very enthusiastic about my joining in the NCC.'
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    Barbara's __________ than Sarah.
    Solution
    Answer : C

    Explanation:

    In the sentence, we have two subjects, i.e, Barbara & Sarah.

    The construction of the sentence and the options give us a good idea that a comparison is being made between the two subjects.

    Thus to correctly complete the sentence we are supposed to fill the blank with the comparative degree of the adjective:

    --"more" is the comparative degree adjective of "much", which grammatically fits in the blank correctly. Thus it is the most appropriate from the options provided.
    Also, when an adjective has three or more syllables, the comparative degree of the adjective is formed with "more"; and superlative degree with "most".

    --"most" is the superlative degree of "much". It indicates a comparison between more than two things and hence, it is not the appropriate answer for this question. This eliminates option A.

    --"much" means to a greater amount, but it is the base form and it does not indicate comparison.

    --"intelligent" is just an basic adjective, thus it does not fit in here. This eliminates option D.

    Therefore the correct complete sentence is:

    Barbara's MORE INTELLIGENT than Sarah.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    He's ___________ boy in the class [Basic]
    Solution
    The boy mentioned in the sentence is a funny boy. However, there is mention of only one boy in the sentence. Hence, option D- the funniest is the most appropriate option which means there is no other boy who is funnier than him in the class. There is a superlative degree of comparison and a definite article is needed to complete the sentence. 
    Option C- funnier would be used if there is a comparison of the boy with someone. 
    Option A- the funnier cannot be used as there cannot be a definite article before funnier. 
    Option B- funniest cannot be used alone as the superlative degree of comparison requires 'the' as the definite article. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A ________ driver.
    Solution
    We need to fill the word with an adjective which defines the driver. 
    Option A: "Care" can be used as both noun and a verb, but never an adjective. 
    Option B: "Careful" defines a person who does something with care. This the adjective form of the word "care".
    Option C: "Carefully" is an adverb.
    Option D: "Careful" part is correct; but with it a definite article is used. If we look into the sentence, there is already an article in the beginning. If we put one more article in the blank, there will be two articles consecutively which would make the sentence incorrect. 
    Option B is correct. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Smoking is a ________ habit.
    Solution
    If we look at this sentence, it only talks about smoking, There is no comparison as only one habit is taken into consideration. Thus, this will be a positive degree of the adjective. Positive degree is the base form of the adjective or adverb. It does not show comparison. 
    Option A: Is an adverb.
    Option B: "worse" is a word that is taken in a negative sense but it should be taken into consideration when there are two habits present. It is the comparative degree of "bad"
    Option C: "worst" is a word that is taken in a negative sense but it should be taken into consideration when there are more than two habits present. It is a superlative degree of the adjective "bad".
    Option D: "Bad" is the correct answer as it is taken in the negative sense and also a positive degree. 
    Option D is correct
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the best option to complete the conversation:
    Sarah: Sid never worries about anything.
    Mom: Yes, he's a happy-go-______ guy.
    Solution
    A compound adjective is formed with two or more words that function together as an adjective. They are usually separated by the hyphen '-'.
    Option B: From the options, 'lucky' forms a compound adjective 'happy-go-lucky'. It has a meaning different from the literal meaning, like an idiomatic expression. It means 'trusting cheerfully to luck', 'not worrying much'. It relates to the given sentence:"Sid never worries about anything". Hence option B is correct.
    The other words 'worry', 'joyful' and 'careful' each do not form a suitable compound adjective. They all form literal meanings in the sentence, meanings which are not quite relevant. Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
