Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
The child grew _________ when his father entered the room.

A
silent

B
silently

C
happily

D
up

Solution

In the sentence, we know that the word 'child' will be modified. 'Child' is a noun and hence the correct option should modify the noun.
Option A: 'Silent' is an adjective. Adjectives describe or modify nouns. In the given sentence, 'silent' describes the noun 'child'. ('The child grew silent' means that the child became silent.) Hence this is the correct option.
Option B: 'Silently' is an adverb and describes the manner in which an action is done. Adverbs modify adjectives, verbs and other adverbs. But they do not modify nouns. Since the noun 'child' is to be modified, this is not the correct option.
Option C: Similarly, 'happily' is also an adverb of manner and modifies an action word (verb). It does not modify 'child' and is hence wrong.
Option D: 'Up' refers to a higher place or position. It forms a phrase 'grew up' which means 'to become older or more mature'. This meaning isn't relevant to the given sentence, as one cannot grow in such a short period of time (when his father entered the room). Hence this option is incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He hasn't bought ____ oranges.

A
a lot

B
any

C
much

D
some

Solution

Let’s examine the sentence: “He hasn't bought ____ oranges.” The sentence requires an adjective of quantity to indicate the quantity of ‘oranges.’ 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 also uses ‘not’ in ‘hasn’t.’ The only adjective of quantity that would go with ‘not’ is ‘any.’ Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I really think there is too ____ furniture in your office.

A
much

B
more

C
many

D
most

Solution

In the given sentence, the word 'too' indicates an extreme degree of quantity of 'furniture'. Thus, the answer must complete the adjective of quantity and indicate an extreme degree, and since, 'too' already indicates an extreme degree, the answer must be in its positive degree.
Option A is correct. 'much' is an adjective of quantity which, when paired with 'too', indicates an extreme degree. Thus, it is the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect. 'more' is in its comparative degree. Since, there is no comparison between two objects, 'more' is the incorrect answer
Option C is incorrect. 'many' is used to describe plural and countable noun. Here, 'furniture' is an uncountable and singular noun. Thus, 'many' is the incorrect answer.
Option D is incorrect. 'most' is in its superlative degree form. Since, 'too' is already present to indicate an extreme degree, 'most' is the incorrect answer.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
There are____in the classroom but only one teacher.

A
many student

B
much student

C
a lot of students

D
a lot of student

Solution

The given sentence is missing a subject and thus, the answer has to introduce a subject. Further, the word 'are' indicates that the subject is plural. Thus, the answer has to be plural.
Option A is incorrect. In 'many student', 'many' is an adjective used for plural subjects but 'student' is singular. Thus, the phrase itself is grammatically incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. 'much student' also has a singular subject and not a plural one. Further, 'much' is an adjective normally used for things and not people. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option C is correct. In 'a lot of students', 'a lot of' is an adjective of quantity used for plural subjects and 'students' is a plural subject. Thus, it fits in the blank and is the correct answer.
Option D is incorrect. In 'a lot of student', 'a lot of' fits in the sentence but, 'student' is a singular subject and not a plural one as required. Thus, it is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Alice is ____________ as the boys.

A
too strong

B
so strong

C
as strong

D
also strong

Solution

The given sentence is in the positive degree of comparison. This means that two things are of the same degree or level of comparison. In such sentences, we use the phrase 'as + adjective + as'. (We know the sentence is in positive degree, because two things are compared and the word 'as' is in the sentence.)
Option C: 'As strong' completes the phrase 'as + adjective (strong) + as'. It is relevant to the given sentence, and completes it in meaning. Hence option C is the correct one.
Option A: 'Too strong' does not seem relevant here, as the word 'as' is already present in the sentence. Also, 'too strong' does not complete the sentence as a positive degree.
Options B and D: Similarly, 'so strong' and 'also strong' does not pair with 'as', and as a result a positive degree sentence isn't formed.
Hence these options are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The brown car is ____ than the white car.

A
smaller

B
the smallest

C
smallest

D
small

Solution

In the given sentence, 'than' indicates that a common quality of the two cars(brown and white) is being compared. Thus the answer must be an adjective of a comparative degree.
Option A is correct. 'smaller' is an adjective of the comparative degree. It indicates that the brown car is small in size as compared to the white car. Thus, it is correct.
Option B is incorrect. 'the smallest' is an adjective in the superlative degree and thus cannot be used to compare two things. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. 'smallest' is an adjective in the superlative degree and thus cannot be used to compare two things. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect. 'small' is an adjective in the positive degree and thus cannot be used to compare two things. Thus, it is incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
This is ____ that.

A
the same as

B
the same that

C
different that

D
different

Solution

Let’s examine the sentence: “This is ____ that.” Options B and C cannot be used as both contain ‘that’ and the sentence also contains ‘that.’ Option D cannot be used as it will not complete the meaning of the sentence. Only Option A can be used as it will complete meaning of the sentence.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
My son is seventeen years old. He is ____ to get married.

A
too old

B
old enough

C
too young

D
enough young

Solution

Let’s examine the sentence: “My son is seventeen years old. He is ____ to get married.” There are two related sentences here. The first sentence states the age of the son and the second sentence states the fact of his getting married. Using common sense, we can understand that seventeen is not the age of getting married and the son is young for getting married. This fact rules out Options A and B that state that the son is old enough to be married. Options C and D use the adjective ‘young.’ Now, the sentence requires an adverb of degree with ‘young’ that can convey the sense that at seventeen, the son is extremely young to get married. Adverbs of degree tell us about the intensity of something. Adverbs of degree are usually placed before the adjective, adverb, or verb that they modify, although there are some exceptions. The sentence requires an adverb of degree that can emphasize strongly the extremity of youth. The adverb ‘too’ conveys this sense as it means ‘excessively’ or ‘to a great extent.’ The adverb ‘enough’ does not convey this sense as its meaning convey the sense of ‘to the necessary degree.’ So, Option D containing ‘enough’ would convey the meaning that the son is of the age to get married. This is not what the sentence wants to convey. Hence, option D cannot be used. So, Option C is the correct answer as it conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Mrs. Brown feels ____ .

A
beautifully

B
nicely

C
terrible

D
easily

Solution

As we can see, the answer is a feeling. A feeling is something that modifies a noun(a person). Thus, the answer has to be an adjective.
Option A is incorrect. 'beautifully' is an adverb and not an adjective. Thus, it cannot indicate how Mrs. Brown feels. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. 'nicely' is an adverb and not an adjective. Thus, it cannot indicate how Mrs. Brown feels. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option C is correct. 'terrible' is an adjective. Also, it is a feeling. It indicates that the subject feels extremely bad. Thus, it is the correct answer.
Option D is incorrect. 'easily' is an adverb and not an adjective. Thus, it cannot indicate how Mrs. Brown feels. Thus, it is incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Fred eats ____ bread.

A
too many

B
fewer

C
too much

D
any

Solution

The given sentence indicates that Fred eats an extremely great amount of bread. Thus, the answer must mean 'an extremely great amount'.
Option A is incorrect. 'too many' means 'an extremely great amount' but, 'many' can only be used for plural objects. Since 'bread' is singular, using 'many' will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. 'fewer' means 'lesser' and not 'an extremely great amount'. Thus, it doe not have the required meaning and is incorrect.
Option C is correct. 'too much' means 'an extremely great amount'. Also, 'much' can be used for singular objects. Thus, it is correct.
Option D is incorrect. 'any' means 'whatever quantity available' and not 'an extremely great amount'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning and is incorrect.
