  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    How ______ men work for Mr. White?
    Solution
    Options A and D: 'Much' and 'many' are determiners that tell the quantity of a noun. 'Much' is used for uncountable nouns whereas 'many' is used for countable nouns.
    The noun 'men' is countable, hence 'many' is more suitable. Hence option D is correct and A is incorrect.
    Option B: 'A lot of' is used in Informal English. In its place, we use 'much' and 'many' in Formal English. Since we need to consider in terms of the latter, this option is incorrect.
    Option C: 'Hard' in this sentence would function as an adjective. It does not complete the sentence in meaning. Hence option C is also incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A: How did the water feel?
    B: ______.
    Solution
    In the given question, 'A' is asking a question. It is asking to describe the water. Here 'water' is a noun and so something that describes it becomes an adjective. Thus, the answer must be a descriptive adjective that can describe the water.
    Option A is correct. 'Warm' is a descriptive adjective that can be used to describe water. Thus, it fits perfectly into the blank and is correct.
    Option B is incorrect. 'Warmth' is a noun and not an adjective. Thus, it cannot be used to describe a noun.
    Option C is incorrect. 'Warmly' is an adverb. It can only be used to modify and describe verbs and not nouns. Thus, it is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'Warmest' is an adjective but, it is in the superlative degree. Superlative degree is only used when the to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a quality. Here, the question is simply asking a quality and not its limit. Thus, 'warmest' cannot be used.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    He is ________________ that he has no time for regular meals.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, 'He is' suggests that the sentence is  giving the subject a quality. Thus, the answer must contain an adjective of manner to describe the subject. Further, there must be an adjective of degree present to show that the subject is too busy to have regular meals.
    Option A is correct. 'such a busy man' contains an adjective of manner 'busy' that describes the man. Further, it also contains an adjective of degree 'such' that shows that the subject is too busy to have regular meals. Thus, it is the correct answer.
    Option B is incorrect. 'such busy man', although contains both, an adjective of manner and degree, it does not contain an indefinite article. according to rules of usage, an indefinite article is used before every singular pronoun or plural pronouns that act as one group. Thus, it is grammatically incorrect.
    Option C is incorrect. 'so busy man' contains an adjective of manner, but it doe not contain an adjective of degree. 'so' is an adjective of manner and not degree. Further, it does not contain an indefinite article . Thus, it is grammatically incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'a so busy man' is  incorrect because an article must always come before the noun, but in this case, the article 'a' comes before the adjective 'so'. Thus, the answer is grammatically incorrect. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    How ____ have you been to Germany?
    Solution
    In the given sentence, 'been to Germany' indicates that the sentence is talking about visiting Germany. Thus, it can be said that the question is asking the number of times the subject has been to Germany. The answer must, therefore, indicate the above meaning.
    Option A is incorrect. 'much time' indicates that the question is asking for what period of time the subject has been in Germany. Also, the preposition 'to' does not agree with it. Thus, it is incorrect.
    Option B is incorrect. 'long for' indicates that the question is asking for what period of time the subject has been in Germany. Also, the preposition 'to' does not agree with it. Thus, it is incorrect.
    Option C is correct. 'many times' indicates that the question is asking about the number of time the subject has been to Germany. Thus, it conveys the correct meaning and is the correct answer.
    Option D is incorrect. 'long ago for' indicates that the question is asking what period of time ago and for what period of time the subject has been in Germany. Also, the preposition 'to' does not agree with it. Thus, it is incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    This lesson is _____ than I expected.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the difficulty of the lesson is being compared to the subject's expectations. In order to make this comparison, the answer must be an adjective of the comparative degree.
    Option A is correct. 'much harder' is an adjective of the comparative degree. It indicates that the lesson was more difficult than what the subject had expected. Thus, it is correct.
    Option B is incorrect. 'the hardest' is an adjective in the superlative degree. Thus, it cannot be used to make a comparison.
    Option C is incorrect. In 'most hard', the word 'most' indicates superlative degree but, 'hard' is in positive degree. Thus, the phrase itself is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. In 'more hard', the word 'more' indicates comparative. degree but, 'hard' is in positive degree. Thus, the phrase itself is incorrect. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    I wonder if you could give me ____ advice about finding a job.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the subject needs some advice from the object. Here, 'advice' is a singular noun. Further, 'advice' is not something that can be given in a specific quantity(advice cannot be counted). Thus, the answer has to be an unspecific quantity that can be used with a singular noun.
    Option A is incorrect. 'an' is used to indicate only a specific quantity and that is 'one'. Thus, it cannot be used along with 'advice'.
    Option B is incorrect. 'a' is only used to indicate the quantity 'one' and also, it cannot be used when the word after it starts with a vowel. For these reasons, it is incorrect.
    Option C is correct. 'any' indicates an unspecific quantity. It means 'whatever quantity available'. It indicates that the subject is asking the object for whatever amount of advice that the object can possibly give. Thus, it is correct.
    Option D is incorrect. 'many' is also used to indicate unspecific quantity but, it can only be used with plural nouns. For example, many friends, many books and so on. Thus, it cannot be used here as 'advice' is a singular noun.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
     ____ don't like red wine.
    Solution
    Let’s examine the sentence: “____ don't like red wine.” The sentence requires an adjective of quantity to indicate the quantity of people, who ‘don’t like red wine.’ We know that adjectives are used to describe nouns or pronouns. Words such as 'most, any, many' and 'few,' along with numbers, are adjectives of quantity. They tell us the amount, or the approximate amount, of the noun they describe. In the options, four adjectives of quantity are given: ‘a lot,’ ‘any,’ ‘much,’ and ‘some.’ The sentence uses the helping verb ‘don’t.’ In English, don't is used when speaking in the first and second person plural and singular and the third person plural. Third person plural is given in Option A. So Option A is the correct answer. Option B, ‘somebody,’ cannot be used as it is the third person singular. Options C and D will make the sentence meaningless.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    _____________ don't like red wine.
    Solution
    Option A: 'Some' in this context refers to a person, or thing, without stating exactly which one/ones. Some here means 'some of the' and relates to the given sentence. Hence option A is correct.
    Option B: 'Any people' is not the correct usage, because 'any' is generally used for singular nouns.
    Options C and D: 'Somebody' and 'anybody' are singular pronouns whereas the verb 'do' ('don't' is a contraction of 'do not') is plural. The subject and verb must be the same number.
    Hence these options are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A: What is Mary like?
    B: She ____ .
    Solution
    The question 'what is Mary like?' indicates an enquiry about Mary's appearance. In other words, the question is asking how Mary looks. Thus, the answer must indicate a response to the question and must thus, describe how Mary looks.
    Option A is incorrect. 'is very well' describes how Mary is feeling and not how she looks. Thus, it does not convey the correct meaning and is incorrect.
    Option B is incorrect. 'likes ice-cream' indicates what Mary likes and not how she looks. Thus, it does not convey the correct meaning and is incorrect
    Option C is incorrect. 'is like tall' describes a feature of Mary's. Further, 'like tall' makes no sense. One cannot be like 'tall' and so, it does not make sense.
    Option D is correct. 'is very pretty' indicates how Mary looks. It says that Mary looks very pretty. Thus, it conveys the correct meaning and is the correct answer.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    She will come at 7 o'clock __________ evening.
    Solution
    Options A and C: 'In this' refers to a particular evening. When we simply say 'this evening', the meaning is still the same. Hence 'in' is not necessary here. By saying 'this evening' we are already specifying which evening.
    So, option C is correct and A is incorrect.
    Option B: 'On this' sounds strange here. Since we have already specified the time (7 o'clock) and evening (this evening), we don't need 'on'. Also, 'on' would generally be used to for a larger time period, like 'on this day'.
    Hence option B is incorrect.
    Option D: 'At this', again, sounds strange. 'At' is used to indicate an exact point of time, and is already mentioned here before the time '7 o'clock'. Hence it would not be required for before a period of time 'this evening'. So, option D is incorrect.
