Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Use the comparative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    Jerry is _____ (industrious) than his brother.
    Solution
    The sentence is said to be in the comparative degree when two nouns are compared, one noun is of a higher degree compared to the other. Here the noun 'Jerry' is 'more industrious' than the other noun 'brother'. Option C is correct because the adjective has three syllables while forming the comparative we do not add the suffix '-er' to it. Instead, 'more' precedes the adjective. Option A is incorrect, the adjective has three syllables and hence the suffix '-er' is not added to it. Option B is incorrect because the phrase in it is of the positive degree. Option D is incorrect because 'very' isn't a comparative, nor is it used in any degree of comparison.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    silk
    Solution
    In option D the suffix -en transforms the noun to an adjective, meaning 'made of'. In the sentence, "The silken dress looked pretty on her", the adjective 'silken' modifies the noun 'dress', saying that 'the dress was made of silk'. Hence option D is correct. 'Silkful', 'silked' and 'silkly' are not words, they do not exist in the English dictionary, hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Use the comparative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    This is a _____ (thin) piece of wood than that.
    Solution
    A sentence is in the comparative degree when two nouns are compared to each other, one noun being higher in quality than the other. The comparison here is between two pieces of wood, where one is 'thinner' than the other. The adjective 'thin' forms a comparative by adding '-er' to it, 'thinner' hence option C is correct. Option A is incorrect because the comparative 'more' does not precede adjectives which have one or two syllables (at least in the given case). While converting a positive to a comparative, we add the suffix 'er'. When the positive adjective of one syllable ends in a single consonant (n) and is preceded by a short vowel (i), like in 'thin' then that consonant is doubled. Hence option B is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the phrase is of the positive degree.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    care
    Solution
    Option B is correct because the suffix -ful is used in the formation of adjectives indicating 'full of', hence the adjective 'careful' means 'full of care'. Option A is incorrect because firstly, the suffix is used for adverbs and secondly, this word does not exist. Option C is incorrect because the suffix -some is used for adjectives meaning 'characterized by', and because this word does not exist. Option D is incorrect because it is a verb.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    gold
    Solution
    In option A, the suffix -en is used in the transformation of nouns to adjectives, adding the meaning 'made up of'. For example, in "It was a golden opportunity for him", the adjective 'golden' modifies the noun 'opportunity', by saying that the opportunity was a valuable one. 'Goldful', 'goldous' and 'goldly' simply do not exist in the dictionary. They're not used in Standard English, hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    fool
    Solution
    Option D is correct because the suffix -ish is used in the formation of adjectives indicating the quality or characteristic of that noun. For example, in the sentence "Stacy was foolish to believe him", the adjective 'foolish' modifies the noun 'Stacy'. Option C is incorrect because 'fooled' is a verb, meaning 'being deceived'. 'Foolful' and 'foolly' are not words, they do not exist in the English dictionary, hence options A and B are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    trouble
    Solution
    Option A is correct because it's an adjective where the suffix '-some' indicates 'characterized by or causing'. For example, in the sentence "His actions were troublesome in many ways", the adjective 'troublesome' modifies the noun 'actions' saying that his actions cause trouble. 'Troublely', 'troubleful' and 'troubleable' do not exist in the English language, hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Use the superlative degree of comparison in the following sentence:

    This is _____ apple of all those in the basket.
    Solution
    The phrase in option B is superlative, with the definite article and the superlative form of 'red', hence it's the correct option. Option A is incorrect because when a single syllable positive is changed to a comparative, if the noun ends with a single consonant preceded by a short vowel, then that consonant is doubled, and to the noun 'red' we double the consonant and add the suffix 'est', making it 'reddest'. Option C is incorrect because the superlative 'most' is not used for single syllable nouns and the noun is a positive. Option D is incorrect because the article is missing and the superlative of red is spelled wrong.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:
    boy
    Solution
    Option C is correct because the suffix -ish is used to form adjectives to describe the manner or characteristic of something, in this case, of the boy. For example, in the sentence, "The young man had a boyish charm", the adjective 'boyish' modifies the noun 'charm' by attributing the characteristic of a boy to the man. The words 'boyful', 'boyed' and 'boyly' simply do not exist in the English dictionary, they're not used in Standard English. Hence, options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    sense
    Solution
    There is a certain amount of confusion between the suffixes -ible and -able and when to use them. They both mean the same 'capable to be', hence the confusion. The latter is widely used compared to the former. Words ending with -ible are usually those that don't exist without the suffix, the given noun 'sense' being an exception, hence option B is correct. In the phrase, 'sensible woman', the adjective 'sensible' modifies the noun 'woman'. 'Senseable', 'sensesome', and 'senseous' do not exist in the English dictionary, hence options A, C, and D are incorrect.
