Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Identify which class the underlined Adjective belongs:
    He is a man of few words.
    Solution
    The word "few" refers to a number of an object, but the exact value is not known. An indefinite numeral adjective gives an idea of how many (number) of a given noun, but the exact value is not specified. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
    Option A is incorrect, as a definite numeral adjective refers to a definite value, a number.
    Optio C is incorrect, as a distributive adjective refers to individual members or a group of a given noun.
    Option D is incorrect, as a demonstrative adjective tells which noun we want to refer to.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the word or phrase which best completes the given sentence.

    She liked to say that she was just one of his _______happy customers. 
    Solution
    Adjectives are the words which modify nouns, pronouns and other adjectives. Quantitative adjectives describe the quantity of something. 'Many' is used to define an indefinite, large number of people or things. 
    Thus, option C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    On weekends, Jim prefers to go outdoors rather than reading at home.
    Solution
    The comparison is between the act of 'going outdoors' and 'reading'. The question asks for the Gerund 'reading' to be replaced with the correct answer. In the first part of the sentence, the phrase is made up of an infinitive and a noun 'to go outdoors'. Since we're comparing two activities, we need to write the second activity in the same form, i.e, 'to read at home.' Hence option A is correct and option D is incorrect. 'Reads' is a present indicative verb and isn't the correct answer. 'Having read' is a participle and what we need is an infinitive, hence this is an incorrect answer.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point. 
    The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airplane manufactured by Airbus. It is the large passenger airplane in the world. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    In the sentence, the Airbus A380 is compared to all the passenger airplanes in the world. Hence, the adjective should be in the superlative degree, i.e. largest. Hence, the correct option is B) Largest.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    The giraffe is the best terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant. [Advanced]
    Solution
    The phrases in a comparison sentence should both be parallel in structure as well as in context. Here there are two superlatives concerning the same noun 'giraffe' in comparison with the other animals. The underlined superlative 'best' attributes the meaning 'desirable quality', which is incorrect in the context of the sentence as it's a quality in terms of personality, and it's not relevant here. Hence option D is incorrect. The phrase 'largest ruminant' suggests that we're describing the noun 'giraffe' in terms of its size, the only relevant option is Option A, which modifies the noun 'terrestrial animal' in terms of height, hence option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because it's a comparative, whereas the noun calls for a superlative. Similarly, option C is incorrect because 'herbivorous' is not a superlative adjective.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Correct the underlined part of the sentence (if necessary):
    St. Aloysius High School's cafeteria offers more variety than St. Stanislaus High School.
    Solution
    A comparison is being made between the cafeterias of these two schools. In the given statement, the cafeteria of the underlined school isn't mentioned at all, option D is incorrect. By adding an apostrophe and an s, ('s) after the name of the school, it is indicated that the cafeteria of the second school is compared to that of the first, making option C correct. 'Those' is used for plural countable nouns hence this option is incorrect since we are comparing one cafeteria to another. Option B is also incorrect, keeping in mind the structure of the first part of the sentence, which ends with an 's followed by the cafeteria. If the statement had started this way, 'The cafeteria of St. Aloysius High School', then option B would've been correct, otherwise in this case it's wrong.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    The 23rd World Congress of Cardiology, to be held in Melbourne later this year, will be much larger than your average friends.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, a comparative adjective, 'larger' is used to show comparison between two nouns. A comparison can be made between two nouns which are similar in nature. Here, one noun which is compared is 'World Congress of Cardiology', it refers to a meeting of people. So, option B party of friends is correct as it refers to a meeting of people too and given sentence tells that former is much larger than latter, which is true as well.
    Option A, C and D are incorrect because they refer to a bond or people and not a meeting of people.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    At the Star Hotel, Patrick preferred the taste of the coffee which was stronger than the tea.
    Solution
    In the given statement, the 'taste' of coffee is being compared to the 'taste' of tea, and not the tea itself because by taste we're told that the adjective here is the adjective of quality which answers the question 'what characteristic' of the noun. Hence option A is incorrect. The adjective 'taste' can be modified to 'that' since we're already told about the 'taste' characteristic in the first part, hence we use 'that of the tea', option B is correct here. Since the first part of the sentence 'taste of coffee' is written in a certain manner, we prefer referring to the tea in the same manner in order to maintain consistency. Using 'the tea's taste' is different from the 'taste of the tea', hence it's incorrect. Orange juice cannot be compared to coffee because they don't fall under the same category. 'Tea' and 'coffee' fall under the same category of brewed beverages, hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    The Library of Congress system of classification has gradually replaced the Dewey Decimal in libraries across the world.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, 'the systems of classification' of the Library of Congress and the Dewey Decimal are spoken about. 'The system of classification of the Library of Congress' is to be replaced by 'the system of classification of the Dewey Decimal. 'That' is a demonstrative used to refer back to an entire phrase or sentence. Here, 'that' is being used to replace the phrase 'system of classification' in the second half of the sentence, hence option A is correct. This phrase is not being replaced by 'the Dewey Decimal' itself, so option D is incorrect, even by eliminating 'the' in option C, it's still incorrect. 'Those' refers to plural nouns since we are comparing the system of classification (singular noun) we need a singular demonstrative pronoun, not a plural one, which makes option B incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Of the seven children on the team, Tony is the shorter one despite having a very tall father. [Basic]
    Solution
    When we compare something with more than three things, we use the superlative degree. Here, we are comparing the height of Tony with that of 7 children (more than 3). So, in this case, the superlative degree is 'shortest'. Hence, the correct option is B) Shortest.
