Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

From the options given below, identify the sentence consisting of a compound adjective formed by joining an adjective + a present participle:

A
She is a good-looking girl.

B
Reptiles are cold-blooded creatures.

C
It was a last-minute decision.

D
This is a smoke-free restaurant.

Solution

The present participle is a participle that ends in -ing.
Option A: "good-looking"- compound adjective; "good" is an adjective and "looking" is a present participle
Option B: "cold-blooded"- compound adjective; "cold" and "blooded" are both adjectives
Option C: "last-minute"- compound adjective; "last" is an adjective and "minute" is a noun
Option D: "smoke-free" is a compound adjective; "smoke" is a noun and "free" is an adjective
Option A is the correct option
Question 2
1 / -0

Identify the type of adjective that has been highlighted in the sentence:
Your cousin seems to have no sense.

A
Distributive numeral adjective

B
Indefinite numeral adjective

C
Adjective of quantity

D
Adjective of quality

Solution

Option A: Distributive Numeral Adjectives denote singular number of noun among many. They are always followed by a singular noun and a verb. Examples: Each, every, either, neither.
Option B: An indefinite adjective is used to describe a noun in a non-specific sense. The most common indefinite adjectives are any, each, few, many, much, most, several, and some. On the other hand, numeral adjectives are used for determining numbers or countable noun. Over here although the sentence is referring to an amount, but the noun over here is uncountable.
Option C: Adjective of quantity indicates the amount or estimated amount of the noun or pronoun in the sentence. It does not provide information about exact numbers, it tells only the amount in relative or whole terms. In this sentence, the amount of sense is indicated. "Sense" is an uncountable noun. Thus "no" is an adjective of quantity.
Option D: The adjectives that are used to describe the nature of a subject or a noun or showing the kind or quality of nouns or pronouns are called Adjectives of Quality.

A

B

Question 4
1 / -0

From the options given below, identify the sentence consisting of a compound adjective formed by joining an adverb + a past participle:

A
We should start using wind-powered generators to cut costs.

B
I bought some mouth-watering strawberries.

C
This is a brightly-lit room.

D
She is a world-famous singer.

Solution

A compound adjective is formed when two or more adjectives are joined together to modify the same noun. An adverb is a word or phrase that modifies the meaning of an adjective, verb, or other adverb, expressing manner, place, time, or degree. When adverb is used before an adjective, "ly" is usually added to the end.
Option A: "wind-powered" is the compound adjective here, but there are no adverbs present.
Option B: "mouth-watering" is again a compound adjective, although it is not containing any of the other requirements
Option C: "brightly-lit" is the compound adjective in this case, "brightly" is the adverb and "lit" is the past participle
Option D: "world-famous" is the compound adjective over here but does not have the required combinations.
Option C is the correct answer.
Question 5
1 / -0

From the options given below, identify the sentence consisting of a compound adjective formed by joining a number + a time period:

A
I work an eight-hour day.

B
This is a brightly-lit room.

C
She is a well-known actress.

D
Our office is in a twenty-storey building.

Solution

A compound adjective is formed when two or more words are joined together to form an adjective to modify the same noun.. They are joined with a hyphen (-). A number can be joined with a time period to form a compound adjective. E.g. eight-hour, 2-day long process etc. Thus, option A is the correct answer as compound adjective 'eight-hour' is correctly formed in the sentence.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I can see _____ newspapers.

A
lots of

B
most

C
a little

D
much

Solution

An indefinite adjective is used to describe a noun in a non-specific sense. Numbers are usually adjectives because the information they give is how many or the amount of the noun. In this particular sentence, the amount of newspapers have been considered in an indefinite sense. Thus, we would be using indefinite numeral adjective.
"lots of" is a indefinite numeral adjective which specifies a particular number.
"Most" is the superlative degree of many. Since there is no comparison between nouns in this sentence. It is wrong.
"a little" and "much" can only be used for uncountable noun and thus they are not a numeral adjective.
Option A is correct
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The bus is very ___________ .

A
quickly

B
slow

C
well

D
noisily

Solution

Adjective is a word that describes a noun. In this case, the noun is "bus". We need to select a word that describes the bus. Option A and D are both adverbs (one which describes an adjective). Well is also an adverb. It modifies a verb (telling "how"). Well may be used as an adjective to indicate good health or satisfactory conditions. But in this case that is not defining the noun. In this case, an adjective is required which describes the motion of the bus, which is Option B, slow.
Option B is the correct answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The shopkeeper has got _____ cheese.

A
a lot of

B
many

C
few

D
a few

Solution

An indefinite adjective is used to describe a noun in a non-specific sense. Numbers are usually adjectives, because the information they give is how many or the amount of the noun. In this particular sentence, the amount of newspapers have been considered in an indefinite sense. Thus, we would be using indefinite numeral adjective.
"lots of" is a indefinite numeral adjective which specifies a particular amount. It is the correct answer
"many" and "few" can only be used for countable nouns whereas cheese is uncountable.

Option A is correct
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Jim is 19 years old. Tony is 15. Jim is __________ than Tony.

A
younger

B
oldest

C
older

D
youngest

Solution

Most adjectives have three different forms to show degrees of comparison—the positive, the comparative, and the superlative. The positive is used to describe one item, group, or person. Comparative is used when two objects are present and superlative is used when more than two objects are being compared. In this sentence, two individuals are compared, so comparative degree should be used. Thus, Option B and Option D are eliminated as they both are superlative forms. Both, options C and A are comparative. Now, if we look into the sentence, Jim's age is more than Tony. Thus Jim is older and not younger.
Option C is correct.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
I've spent ________ money this week! I don't know where it's all gone.

A
such

B
so many

C
so much

D
so

Solution

Adjective of quantity 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 particular sentence we would understand the usage of adjective of quantity in the sentence. Other than that "so" is a subordinate conjunction which is used in front of an adjective to mean "such a great extent". This makes either option B or C our answer by eliminating the rest. Other than that, money is a uncountable noun and many is used for countable noun. "So many" is the wrong option.
Option C is correct
