Fill in blank (11)____ with the most appropriate answer.

A
Strongly

B
Equally

C
Rarely

D
Hardly

Solution

The descriptive adjectives can be simply defined as the type of adjectives that are used to express the size, color, or shape of a person, a thing, an animal, or a place. They are used to provide more information to a noun by describing or modifying it. In this case, in the blank no.11 we would be using a descriptive adjective as well. Now, rarely, equally, strongly are all adverbs. Hardly has a negative meaning. It normally means 'almost not at all' or 'only just'. This expression correctly explains the feeling of that Bear.
Option D is correct.

Select the correct word from the options given below to fill blank (3). [Basic]

A
Some

B
That

C
One

D
On

Solution

In the sentence "...dark night, a burglar scaled the temple walls and ran off with all the jewels", the noun 'night' is singular and is not specific. In option C, 'one' is an adjective of number that refers to a period of time, like 'night', and it modifies the noun 'night' to a single night. Hence, option C is correct. Option A is used to denote an unspecified number or quantity of a thing or person. 'Some' is usually used for plural nouns. Since 'night' is singular, option A is incorrect. Option B is a demonstrative that refers to a noun or phrase that's been mentioned before. Since the phrase 'dark night' has not been mentioned before in the passage, option B is incorrect. Option D is a preposition that links a noun or a noun form to another part of the sentence. Since 'on' does not link the 'dark night' to another word in the sentence, option D is incorrect.
Thus option 'C' is the right answer.
Question 3
1 / -0

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks from the given alternatives.

He was _______ in our plan.

A
Interest

B
Interesting

C
Interested

D
Disinterest

Solution

The options 'interest' and 'interesting' are incorrect because interest either a noun or a verb cannot describe the person 'he' over here. 'Interesting' is something that arouses or catches the interest of a person. The person in given context cannot be interesting, but the plan can be interesting to me. Either of the other two options, 'interested' and 'disinterested' can be correct. 'Interested' is an adjective that means a person is showing or feeling a level of interest. Similarly, 'disinterested' is the exact opposite of the former adjective, that is, the person does not show any interest in something. In the given sentence the person can be interested or disinterested in the plan.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
I don't know how _____ money she has spent.

A
Many

B
Little

C
Much

D
Few

Solution

In this question, we will understand the usage of an adjective of quantity. In very simple words, an adjective which shows the number of nouns or pronouns is called as Adjective of Quantity. It usually points towards the probable amount of the noun or pronoun in the sentence. It does not provide facts and figures about exact numbers, it tells only the amount of noun in relative or whole terms. In this sentence money is the noun whose amount is pointed over here. So, in the blank before, an adjective should be used which should define the amount of the money.
Option A: Although many is an adjective of quantity, it specifies a large amount of something. In this sentence, there is no indication that the money she has is a lot or present in huge amount. Rather, we can say that the speaker does not know the amount of money the person he/she is talking about is having.
Option B and D: It the same as that of option A. In option A the adjective is specially used for nouns or pronouns in huge amount, whereas "little" and "few" is used when they are present in less amount. So, for the same reason stated above, we cannot use few or little.
Option C: Much is also an adjective of quantity used for describing the amount of any noun or pronoun, but it does not specify any particular amount (more or less).
Option C is the correct answer.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
This is a matter of _____ importance.

A
The

B
Much

C
Any

D
An

Solution

In this question, we have to understand the use of the adjective of quantity. Adjectives of quantity are generally used when we do not have to denote the exact number of a noun, for example, the number of hairs, number of rice grains, number of sugar crystals in a packet or spoon, etc. Sometimes, some of the indefinite numeral adjectives are also considered as adjectives of quantity. In the above sentence, "matter" is the noun and we need to fill the blank before that with a word which defines to what level the matter is important.
Option A: uses "the", which is an article and not an adjective. It is in no way defining the amount of importance the matter is having. Hence Option A is wrong.
Option B: Is exactly what we are looking for. It is an adjective of quantity which is defining the level to which the matter is important. Hence Option B is correct.
Option C: used to refer to one or more of a thing or number of things, no matter how much or how many. It is also used in negative sentences. Howerver, the given sentence is positive, hence Option C is wrong.
Option D: Is again an article and hence is wrong.
Question 6
1 / -0

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks from the given alternatives.

The ___________ notes are given at the back of the book.

A
Explain

B
Explanation

C
Explanatory

D

Solution

Here, the sentence needs an adjective that describes the notes that are given at the end of the book. From the given options, the word explanatory is an adjective whereas explain and explained are verbs in different tenses. Explanation is a noun. Therefore, the correct answer is option C).
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the correct word from those given in the options.

A _______ knowledge is a dangerous thing.

A
Little

B
Few

C
Less

D
Small

Solution

'Knowledge' is the singular, uncountable noun in the given sentence. 'Little' is used with singular, uncountable nouns. 'Few' is used with countable nouns and plural nouns to indicate not many persons or things. 'Less' is used to indicate a reduced number. 'Small' is used to denote the size of something that is lesser than usual or is reduced. So, the most appropriate word that can be used to describe knowledge is option A) Little.

Though he was more faster than his opponent on the field, his chances of winning the race was low as he lacked the killer instinct.

A
Though he was more faster than his opponent on the field

B
As he was more faster than his opponent on the field

C
Though he was more fast from his opponent on the field

D
Though he was faster than his opponent on the field

Solution

In this sentence, we would come across the comparative degree usage. The sentence given uses the phrase "more faster". Faster is itself a comparative degree, "faster" means "more fast" compared to someone.
The comparative form expresses a higher degree of some quality. Thus, we need to use "faster" here instead of "more faster".
Option A: Gives the same phrase so it is wrong.
Option B: Uses "As" instead of "Though" which does not make any such difference as the comparative degree is not corrected.
Option C: Uses the term "more fast" which is correct but not in comparative form: "faster"
Option D: Is the correct option as it uses "faster" instead of "more faster" which is the correct comparative form that should be used.

Option D is the correct answer
Question 9

She wished that her career could be as glamorous as the other women but not willing to work as they had.

A
As glamorous as the other women's

B
More glamorous than the career of the other women

C
Glamorous

D
No change

Solution

In this question, we need to select an option that has the similar meaning to that of the underlined portion. The given statement mentions this wish of a particular woman. She wishes to have a glamorous career like that of the other women but does not intend to work that hard. If we look into the options below;
Option A: Does match with what we want. In this option, the sentence has been phrased properly or correctly as given in the above sentence. The "women's" in this option specifies how the comparison is done between the careers of the two women and not a woman and the career of another woman.
Option B: In this option, "More" has been used. But in the given sentence no-where it has been mentioned that the woman wants a career more glamorous than the other woman. So this cannot be the right option.
Option C: This is just a word, which does not give any comparison with any other form of glamor in the career. The sentence after replacing with glamor sounds right but it does not match with the given sentence as the comparison with other women is eliminated out. This is not the right option.
Option D: Is wrong because option A is the correct answer.

Option A is the correct answer
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the correct word from those given in the options.

The owner of the house is selling a ________ acres of his farmland.

A
Few

B
Little

C
Less

D
Small

Solution

'Few' is used with countable nouns and when used with plural nouns, it indicates there are 'not many people or things'. 'Little' is used with singular, uncountable nouns. 'Less' means 'reduced in number' in comparison to something else. 'Small' means 'less than the normal size'. The given sentence talks about the acres of land but there is nothing given to compare their number to. So, the most appropriate adjective that can be used is option A) Few.
