Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

_____ direction leads to the house we are visiting?

A
What

B
Which

C
Whose

D
Whom

Solution

We use the question word 'what?' when there are an unknown number of possibilities to the answer, whereas 'which?" is used when there are fewer possibilities to the answer, as in this case. Hence Option A is incorrect, and option B is correct. Options C and D ask about a person, not a thing, hence they're incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

_____ coffee is this? (The person it belongs to)

A
Which

B
What

C
Who

D
Whose

Solution

The question states that we need to answer with respect to a person, so that eliminates options A and B because if we use any of these options, we're asking about the coffee itself and not the person it belongs to. Option C is incorrect because it does not ask about the coffee in relation to the person. 'Who?' asks about the person itself. Option D is correct because it asks about the possession of the coffee and helps us find out whom the coffee belongs to.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word:
Reading books online is now more common than paper.

A
that of paper

B
reading books of paper

C
reading

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance. Words in the parallel structure should not only have the same structure but also tense. In the given sentence, two clauses are connected with a word of comparison i.e. than. Thus, option B is the correct answer per rule.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words:
Tim thought that playing solitaire alone was as enjoyable as volleyball with his friends.

A
playing volleyball

B
that of volleyball

C
the game of volleyball

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The underlined noun is not parallel to the grammatical structure of the phrase that it's being compared with. It needs to be changed hence option D is incorrect. Option A is correct because it follows the required structure to compare with the phrase "playing solitaire alone". Options C and D do not follow the same grammatical structure of the phrase that it's being compared with, hence they're incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words:
Anne felt that attending the meeting was more terrifying than a horror film.

A
that of a horror film

B
the event of a horror film

C
watching a horror film

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The phrases that are compared in a sentence should be parallel to each other in their grammatical structure. The latter phrase ("a horror film") should be of the same structure as the former ("attending the meeting"). Since the latter does not follow the former in structure, it needs to be changed and, hence, option D is incorrect. Option A is incorrect because the demonstrative 'that' is used to modify nouns and not gerunds, but the option modifies the gerund 'viewing'. Option B is incorrect because it does not follow the same structure as the former phrase, where the option has the combination 'noun + adjective + noun' while the structure required is 'gerund + noun'. The phrase in Option C is consistent with the structure of the former phrase "attending the meeting", hence it's the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

_____ a disaster! The play did not do well thanks to his terrible performance.

A
Very

B
Which

C
That

D
What

Solution

Exclamatory adjectives are used to indicate a strong emotion and are used with a noun. Usually 'what' is used as an exclamatory adjective. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

He was found murdered in his _____ house.

A
which

B
such

C
own

D
what

Solution

Emphasizing adjectives lay stress on the proceeding noun. The words used to emphasize a noun are called emphasizing adjectives. 'Very' and 'own' are the most commonly used emphasizing adjectives. Here, 'house' is the noun and 'own' is the emphasizing adjective. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

That is the _____ actress we had in mind for this film.

A
what

B
which

C
very

D
such

Solution

Emphasizing adjectives lay stress on the proceeding noun. The words used to emphasize a noun are called emphasizing adjectives. 'Very' and 'own' are the most commonly used emphasizing adjectives. Here, 'actress' is the noun and 'very' is the emphasizing adjective. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

This is the ______ play that was written about in the papers.

A
own

B
such

C
very

D
mine

Solution

Emphasizing adjectives lay stress on the proceeding noun. The words used to emphasize a noun are called emphasizing adjectives. 'Very' and 'own' are the most commonly used emphasizing adjectives. Here, 'play' is the noun and 'very' is the emphasizing adjective. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

_____ intelligence! Maria has managed to beat the computer at chess.

A
Which

B
Whose

C
What

D
That

Solution

Option A is incorrect because it's an interrogative adjective as well as a determiner and is not used in an exclamatory sentence. Option B is incorrect because it asks a question and is not used in an exclamatory sentence. Option C is correct because 'what' is used as an interrogative as well as in an exclamatory sentence, to express surprise or a strong emotion and in this sentence, it plays the role of an adjective and modifies the noun - intelligence. Option D is incorrect because it demonstrates a noun which has been mentioned earlier or described later in a sentence, which is not the case here.
