Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    This chair is _______ comfortable than that one.
    Solution
    Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects. In this case, the comfort levels of two chairs have been compared. Thus, the blank requires a comparative degree. The options D and C are superlative whereas option A is positive. Option B is the only option which is comparative (little < less < least).
    Option B is correct. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    Many people think Scotland is __ than England.
    Solution
    Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects, persons, situations. In this case the two places Scotland and England have been compared. 
    Now, beautiful is a three syllable word, thus for making it to a comparative degree "more" is added in front of the word. This makes it "more beautiful".
    Other than that, option A, B and C are all in superlative forms and Option E is in positive form.
    Option D is correct. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    It was ____ music I have ever heard.
    Solution
    The Superlative Degree denotes the existence of the highest degree of the quality. It is used when more than two things are compared.
    'The' is used as an emphasising adjective to express the quality of the noun. 
    Hence Option C is correct. 
    'More beautiful' and 'less beautiful' are comparative forms. Thus option A and Option B are incorrect.
    'Beautiful' is the positive form so option D is incorrect. 
    As ever is used in the sentence use of determiner 'the' is necessary. 
    Hence option E is incorrect.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    This is _____ rule in this book.
    Solution
    The form of an adjective indicating the greatest degree of the quality that the adjective describes. It is used only when more than three individuals, things or situations or places are compared. The rules of the book have been compared. 
    much < more < most
    Where much is positive, more is comparative and most is superlative
    Now, difficult is a three syllable word, the superlative form of difficult is "Most Difficult"
    Now, when we use superlative degree usually "the" is used in front 
    Option D is correct.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The police are looking for a man with dark hair.
    A _____ man is being sought by the police.
    Solution
    Option A: dark hair is a noun phrase and is incorrect to fill the given blank as a noun (man) already exists in the sentence.
    Option B: dark haired is the correct adjective form.
    Option C: to have dark hair is a verb phrase and should not be inserted before the noun  (man).
    Option D: having dark hair is an adjective phrase but it cannot be used before the noun. 
    Hence option B is correct.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    Which bird flies ______ the swallow or the gull?
    Solution
    Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects. In this case, the speed of swallow and gull has been compared which explains the usage of comparative degree. 
    Option C and D are in superlative forms and Option A is in the positive form
    Option B is in the comparative forms which makes it the right answer. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:
    You won't find ______ restaurant than this. They'll all be ______ expensive ______ this one.
    Solution
    An adjective that does not make a comparison is said to be in the positive degree. (In other words, the positive degree is the normal form of an adjective). Likewise, in this sentence as well we would be looking into the positive degree of adjective. In the first part of the sentence, it is comparing the expense of the restaurant. This makes it a comparative degree. Thus, the answer becomes "cheaper". In the second part, the comparison of expense is in the same level which makes it a positive degree. Now, usually positive degrees of this kind are expressed in the form "as-adjective-as". "Expensive" is the adjective here and it would be having "as" on both sides. So, the answer becomes Option B
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word:
    The artist believes that it is better to ask people which backdrop they would prefer not to have than would.
    Solution
    Here, the comparison is between "which backdrop they would prefer not to have" and 'which backdrop they would prefer to have'. The underlined word 'would' does not clarify what is being compared. So, option D is incorrect. Since we are comparing the two phrases, they both need to follow the same structure. In option A, 'that which they would' is a modification of the phrase 'the backdrop which they would' where 'that' demonstrates the backdrop and 'prefer to have' is not required to be repeated again. Hence, option A is the correct answer. Option B is an incomplete phrase and does not have the same structure as the first phrase. Hence, it's an incorrect option. Option C is incorrect for similar reasons, since it omits 'which' which is an important determiner that refers to the noun 'backdrop'.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks.
    You were ______ than I was but ate ______ rice than I did. 
    Solution
    Here, we are comparing two things, so the comparative degree will be used in both the blanks. Thus, the most appropriate option is 'hungrier, less.'
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Correct the following sentence. 

    Let us opt for the least of the two evils. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    'less' is generally used when there is no discrete comparison or between uncountable nouns. When we compare two definite nouns, we use 'lesser.'
