  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    She doesn't have ____ money.
    Solution
    The given sentence states that the subject does not have money. The answer, thus, must be an adjective that modifies 'money'. Further, the sentence is negative and to keep it negative, the answer must be positive. Here, the answer can either indicate that the subject does not have 'a great amount' of money or the subject does not have 'any amount' of money. Thus, the answer must mean 'a great amount' or 'any amount'.
    Option A is incorrect. 'many' means 'a lot of'. Also, 'many' can only be  used with a plural object and since our object is singular, 'many' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    Option B is correct. 'much' means 'a great amount'. Thus, it has the required meaning and also, it is a positive word. Thus, it meets all the required conditions.
    Option C is incorrect. 'no' is a negative word and thus, makes the sentence positive. It will contradict the fact that the subject does not have money.
    Option D is incorrect. 'very' means 'to a great extent'. Also, 'very' is generally used as an adverb to modify actions and not as an adjective to modify objects. Thus, it is incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Jane is _____ than Mary.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, 'Jane' is the subject and 'Mary' is the object. The word 'than' indicates a comparison between the two. Also, we can say that the comparison is of a feature shared by Jane and Mary. Thus, the answer must be an adjective of comparative degree.
    Option A is incorrect. 'very tall' is not an adjective of comparative degree. Also, in 'very tall', 'very' becomes the adjective and 'tall' becomes the object. Thus, using it means that the sentence will have two objects and so it will become grammatically incorrect.
    Option B is correct. 'taller' is an adjective of comparison. It compares the height of Jane with the height of Mary. Thus, it is the correct answer.
    Option C is incorrect. 'the tallest' is an adjective of superlative degree and not comparative degree. Thus, it is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'tallest' is in the superlative degree. Also, adjectives in superlative degree must have a definite article before it. Thus, it is also grammatically incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    He wrote a _____ book last year.
    Solution
    The given sentence tells us that the subject wrote a book last year. In the blank, we have to assign a quality to the book. Thus, the answer must be an adjective of quality while keeping the sentence grammatically correct.
    Option A is correct. 'good' is an adjective of quality. Also, 'a good book' is a grammatically correct phrase. Thus, it is correct.
    Option B is incorrect. 'the worst' starts with an article and there is also an article before the blank. Two articles cannot be placed adjacent to each other and so ,using 'the worst' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    Option C is incorrect. 'worst' is an adjective of quality but, it is in the superlative degree. Adjectives of superlative degree are always preceded by a definite article(the). The sentence, however, contains an indefinite article(a). Thus, using 'worst' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'very' is an adjective of degree and not an adjective of quality. Thus, it cannot be the answer.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    My brother is a very _______ musician
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the subject's brother is being given a quality. The brother is not being compared to others or being called the best. Thus, the answer must be an adjective of positive degree.
    Option A is incorrect. 'the most talented' is an adjective in the superlative degree. Since we need a positive degree adjective, it cannot be used.
    Option B is correct. 'talented' is a positive degree adjectives. It simply assigns the brother the quality of being talented as a musician. Thus, it is the correct answer.
    Option C is incorrect. 'more talented' is a comparative degree adjective. Thus, it is used to compare the subject to others. Since that is not the purpose of the sentence, it is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'talent' is not an adjective but a noun. We require an adjective to describe the kind of musician the brother is. Thus, 'talent' is incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
    I haven't read ___ of these books but George has read ___ of them.
    Solution
    Numeral Adjectives are those adjectives which are used to denote the number of nouns or the order in which they stand. They are also commonly called Adjectives of Number. Indefinite Numeral adjectives do not indicate an exact number whereas definite numeral adjectives do. In this sentence, we are going to use indefinite numeral adjectives. The first part of the sentence is negative and the second part is positive. "Any" is used in negative sentences and "some" in positive. 
    Option C is correct. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
    ___________ the volcanoes in Japan are active.
    Solution
    Option B: 'Several of' is a quantifier that gives an indefinite number of something 'volcanoes'. ('Several' means 'more than two but not many'.)
    Option A: 'However of' is grammatically incorrect, because 'however' is an adverb and it does not form a complete meaning with 'of'. Hence A is incorrect.
    Option C: 'Few' refers to a small quantity; when it modifies the noun, it should be placed right before the noun 'volcanoes'. If an article is already placed before it 'the', then 'few' should be followed by 'of': 'few of the volcanoes'. Since that isn't the case here, option C is incorrect.
    Option D: 'There are' does not form a complete and meaningful sentence. It does not modify the noun 'volcanoes'. Hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    I've got very ______ money.
    Solution
    Money, is an uncountable singular noun, although special plural of money, that is ,monies does exist, but it is used only in official business contexts.
    Even though we know that money that we see can be counted, but as a Noun, it is termed collectively, and hence uncountable. 
    So the correct answer is Option C because "little" is used when the given word is an uncountable noun. 
    Option A and B are incorrect answers because "few" and "a few" are used for plural countable Nouns.
    Option D is incorrect because Some is used in affirmative sentences or when asking or offering something. Also, we don't use 'very' before 'some'.
    Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
    They don't know _________ people in Florida.
    Solution
    Options A and D: 'Much' and 'many' are quantifiers, where 'much' is used for uncountable nouns and 'many' is used for plural, countable nouns. Also, they are generally used in negative statements and questions.
    As the noun here is a plural noun 'people', many' is the most suitable option here.
    Hence option D is correct and A is incorrect.
    Option B: 'Some' is generally used in positive sentences. The given one being negative, option B is incorrect.
    Option C: 'A few' refers to a 'small number' of something. It does not complete the sentence meaningfully, because then it means that 'they know almost everybody in Florida, except for a few'.
    Hence C is incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
    Our government spends ___________ money on schools.
    Solution
    Option C: 'A lot of' is a quantifier that describes the amount or degree of something. It is used with plural countable nouns as well as singular countable nouns. Here, the noun 'money' is a singular countable noun. Hence, this option is a suitable one, and C is correct.
    Options A and B: We use 'much' and 'many' in questions and negatives. Since the given sentence isn't a negative, A and B are incorrect.
    Option D: When we use 'a great' to talk about the number or quantity, it must be followed by the words 'deal of': a great deal of money. Otherwise, the meaning isn't complete.
    Hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
    I'll go to ___ place, ___ time you wish.
    Solution
    The descriptive adjective is an adjective which describes different qualities of a noun or a pronoun being modified. 'Any/any' is the correct answer as 'any' is describing the noun 'place' and 'time' correctly. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
