Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the word which best fills the blank to complete the sentence correctly or meaningfully.

    She has no close friends ______ than me.
    Solution
    Here, the sentence mentions the words 'no close friends' which means that the person who is the subject is the only friend. We cannot use 'more' as it is used to show relativity in the adjectives. 'Rather than' is used when there are two or more choices with different levels of desirability. 'Dear than' is incorrect as using 'dearer' with 'than' is grammatically correct. So, the correct answer is option A) Other.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank from the given alternatives.

    Publication of the report might be _____ to the interest of the company.
    Solution
    We need an adjective that describes the subject 'publication of the report'. The only adjective among the options is 'harmful' which is the correct answer. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    After partying all night long, Dan and Derek ate they're breakfast together.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, they're is a contraction of "they are". "they are" points at what someone are, whereas, here we want to tell that they ate breakfast which belonged to them.Thus, a possessive adjective would be appropriate here. Hence, option B their is correct.
    Option C them is incorrect, because it is accusative in nature and here it would refer to both of them back.
    Option D his is incorrect, though it is possessive in nature, because it refers to a third person singular pronoun, he.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Say which class the underlined adjective belongs to:

    I have called several times.
    Solution
    Indefinite numeral adjectives do not express an exact number. Hence, 'several' is an indefinite numeral adjective.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Pick out all the adjectives in the following sentence, and say to which class each belongs:

    Several persons were present at the time.
    Solution
    Indefinite numeral adjectives do not give an exact number, words like certain, some, all, several are indefinite as they do not tell us how many people/things are mentioned.
    From the options, 'several' is an indefinite numeral adjective; it does not tell us exactly how many persons were present. 'Present' means 'in a particular place' or 'occurring now'; 'present' modifies 'persons' by saying that the persons were in that particular place at the time. Hence it tells us what kind (present means, the occurrence of; also, an adjective of quality tells us the kind or characteristic of a person or thing) Hence option B is correct.
    Distributive numeral adjectives (each, every, either, neither) are normally used with singular nouns whereas several modifies a plural noun 'persons'. Hence option A is incorrect.
    A demonstrative adjective (this, that, these, those) modifies the noun to tell us which person, place or thing is mentioned. 'Several' does not tell us which persons, but how many. Hence option C is incorrect.
    'Present' tells us the quality, it tells us that several people are there in a articular place; it does not tell us the number. Hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]
    Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.
    The Hype of Healthier Organic Food[/passage-header]Some people buy organic food because they believe organically grown crops are more nutritious and safer for consumption than [1]  the people who purchase their conventionally grown counterparts, which are usually produced with pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. In the name of health, [2] spending $1.60 for every dollar they would have spent on food that is [3] grown in a manner that is considered conventional. Scientific evidence, [4] therefore, suggests that consumers do not reap significant benefits, in terms of either nutritional value or safety, from organic food.   Although advocates of organic food [5] preserve that organic produce is healthier than conventionally grown produce because it has more vitamins and minerals, this assertion is not supported by scientific research. [6] For instance, one review published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition provided analysis of the results of comparative studies conducted over a span of 50 years; researchers consistently found no evidence that organic crops are more nutritious than conventionally grown ones in terms of their vitamin and mineral content. [7] Similarly, Stanford University researchers who examined almost 250 studies comparing the nutritional content of different kinds of organic foods with that of their nonorganic counterparts found very little difference between the two.   Evidence also undermines the claim that organic food is safer to eat. While researchers have found lower levels of pesticide residue in organic produce than in nonorganic produce, the pesticide residue detected in conventional produce falls within acceptable safety limits. According to such organizations as the US Environmental Protection Agency, the minute amounts of residue falling within such limits [8] have no negative impact on human health. [9]
        Based on scientific evidence, organic food offers neither significant nutritional nor safety benefits for consumers. Proponents of organic food, of course, are quick to add that [10] their are numerous other reasons to buy organic [11] food, such as, a desire to protect the environment from potentially damaging pesticides or a preference for the taste of organically grown foods. Research regarding these issues is less conclusive than the findings regarding nutritional content and pesticide residue safety limits. What is clear, though, is this: if a consumer's goal is to buy the healthiest and safest food to eat, the increased cost of organic food is a waste of money.

    The change required for sentence underlined at [1] is?
    Solution
    Choice D is the best answer because if the underlined portion is removed, the sentence appropriately contrasts the phrases “organically grown crops” and “conventionally grown counterparts,” both of which describe crops. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because none make logical comparisons: crops to “people,” crops to “purchase,” and crops to “purchasing.”
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Pick out the adjectives in the following sentence, and say to which class each belongs:

    A live donkey is better than a dead lion.
    Solution
    In the question, donkey and lion are the nouns. The words 'live' and 'dead' tell something more about the character, i.e. the quality of the nouns donkey and lion, respectively. Adjective of Quality describes the state or characteristic of a noun, and as live and dead tell the quality of noun, they are adjectives of quality. 
    The adjective better, shows a comparison between the nature of two nouns, donkey and lion. Thus, it is Comparative Adjective.
    Option A is incorrect because 'live' doesn't tell "how much" nor does 'better' demonstrate anything. So it isn't a Demonstrative Adjective.
    Option B is incorrect because 'better' is a comparative adjective and not an adjective of quality. 
    Option C is incorrect because 'better' does not refer to an individual member of a group, rather it compares two nouns. Hence it is not a distributive numeral adjective.
    As option A, satisfies botht the conditions, it is correct option.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the Adjective/Adjectives in the following sentence, and identify which class each belongs:
    Every dog has his day.
    Solution
    Distributive adjectives are normally used with singular nouns. 'Every' is used to denote every single one of a group. 'His' mentioned in options B, C and D is not an adjective. 'His' is a pronoun. 
    Thus, option A is the correct answer. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Say which class the underlined adjective belongs to:

    Every man has his duties.
    Solution
    Definite Numeral Adjectives consist of ordinal and cardinal numbers. They tell us the exact number of the noun. Indefinite Numeral Adjectives tell us a tentative numeral idea of the noun. Since 'every' is neither a number nor a tentative numeral idea or quantity, Options B and C are incorrect. 'Every' is a Distributive Numeral Adjective, which means it denotes a singular number of a noun among many, over here, it talks about every man among all men. Hence Option D is correct. 'Every' describes a singular noun as part of a larger group, and not its kind or quality, hence option A is incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Identify the category to which the underlined adjective belongs:

    The ship sustained heavy damage.
    Solution
    Option A is correct because Adjectives of Quality describe the kind, quality or characteristic of a noun. The adjective 'heavy' describes the 'kind' of the noun 'damage'. Option B is incorrect because the adjective 'heavy' does not describe the quantity of 'damage', but its quality or kind. Indefinite Numeral Adjectives express an unspecified number of a countable noun. Option C is incorrect because the adjective does not express a number of the noun. Demonstrative Adjectives demonstrate a noun that's been mentioned before, by replacing the noun so it does not have to be mentioned repeatedly, since 'heavy' does not demonstrate the noun, option D is incorrect,
