  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
    Was Joan's party better ______ Maria's?
    Solution
    Answer : A

    Explanation :

    "than" is used to present comparison, which is usually contrasting.
    Thus it is suitable for use in this question.

    "much" is used to refer to a large amount.
    It is grammatically incorrect to fill the blank with "much".

    "like" is used to refer to very similar things/situations.
    Grammatically not suitable as per the structure of the sentence.

    "as" is used for comparisons but generally in an "as .... as" sentence structure.

    In this question, the word "better" suggests that agenda is to inquire / bring about the contrast.
    Thus, "than" is the appropriate word from among the options to fill in the blank.

    Therefore the correct complete sentence is :

    Was Joan's party better THAN Maria's?
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Who is the ________ man in the world?
    Solution
    Answer : C

    Explanation:

    The word "the" is used when referring to something specific, say a person or a thing, or a particular quality of someone or something.

    Thus as per the structure of the question, we have to use the superlative degree of the adjective "rich".

    The superlative degree adjective of "rich" is "richest".

    Therefore the correct complete sentence is :

    Who is the RICHEST man in the world?
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Which is the correct meaning of term embargo?
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    This is _______ than I expected.
    Solution
    With the presence of "than" in the given sentence, we know that the degree of comparison is comparative. Hard, being a monosyllabic word, needs only the suffix "-er" in addition to the usage of than succeeding it. Thus, Option D is the correct answer. Option A , contains the adverb more, which is used for the comparative degree of multi-syllabic words. Options B and C are the adjectives in the positive and superlative degrees, respectively. Therefore, Options A,B and C are wrong. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A ________ dog.
    Solution
    Degrees of comparison refer to adjectives being written in different forms to compare one, two or more nouns which are words describing persons, places and things. The three different forms of comparison are the positive, the comparative and the superlative. This sentence describes the positive degree. The simplest form of the adjective is its positive form, no comparison is done in this case.
    Option A: "bigger than" is used in comparative degree when comparison is between two individuals. 
    Option B: This is the correct option as "big" is used as positive degree. 
    Option C: This becomes a case of superlative degree where comparison is between more than two individuals. 
    Option D: Is also a case of superlative degree but with a definite article in front of it. When the definite article is put in front, the object specificity is shown.
    Option A, C and D are all wrong as they are used for more than one case comparisons
    Option B is correct because the sentence simply describes one dog and makes no comparison.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Someone forgot an umbrella. I'll try to find out ___________ it is.
    Solution
    'Whose' is the possessive form of the pronoun "who" and is used to refer to someone other than the speaker. Here the speaker is referring to some other person. Hence, option C is correct.
    'Whom' and 'of whom' are used instead of ‘who’ as the object of a verb or preposition.
    'Who' is used to introduce a clause giving further information about a person or people previously mentioned. Here, no further information is given about the person. 
    Hence, options A, B and D are wrong.
