Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    dirt
    Solution
    Option C is correct because the suffix -y changes the noun to an adjective meaning 'characterized by'. For example, in "She came back home with dirty boots, covered in mud", the adjective 'dirty' modifies the noun 'boots'. The words 'dirtful', 'dirten' and 'dirtious' do not exist in the English dictionary, hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    laugh
    Solution
    Option A is correct because '-able' forms an adjective, meaning, 'capable of causing laughter'. In "Miss Daisy had a laughable mannerism," the adjective 'laughable' modifies the noun 'mannerism'.  The words 'laughful' and 'laughly' are not used in Standard English, hence, options B and D are incorrect. 'Laughingly' is an adverb, not an adjective. Hence, option C is also incorrect. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    glory
    Solution
    Option B is correct because -ious transforms the word into an adjective, attributing it as 'having the qualities of'. In the phrase, "a glorious victory", the adjective 'glorious' modifies the noun 'victory'. The words 'gloriful', 'gloriles' and 'gloryish' do not exist in the dictionary, they're not used in Standard English hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    envy
    Solution
    Optin B is correct since -ious changes the noun form into an adjective, attributing it as 'having the quality of'. In "Her envious colleagues sought to destroy her career", the adjective 'envious' modifies the noun 'colleagues'. The word 'envied' is a verb, and not an adjective, hence option C is incorrect. The words 'envyful' and 'enviless' do not exist in the English language, they're not used in Standard English, hence options C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    pardon
    Solution
    Option C is correct because -able changes the noun to an adjective, meaning 'capable of'. In "His offence was pardonable", the adjective 'pardonable' modifies the noun 'offence'. The words 'pardonful', 'pardonles' and 'pardonly' do not exist in the English dictionary, they're not used in Standard English hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    hope
    Solution
    Option C is correct because the suffix '-ful' forms the adjective meaning 'full of hope'. In "She felt optimistic, hearing the hopeful words he spoke regarding her treatment", the adjective 'hopeful' modifies the noun 'words' meaning, his words were full of hope. 'Hopeable', 'hopen' and 'hopely' do not exist in the dictionary. They're not used in Standard English, hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the given noun:
    Wood
    Solution
    The suffix '-en' is added to the noun 'wood' forming an adjective that means 'made of wood'. In the sentence, "The house was adorned with wooden furniture" the adjective 'wooden' modifies the noun 'furniture', meaning 'the furniture is made of wood'. The words woodness, woodous, woodable don't exist in the dictionary, they're not used in Standard English hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify the compound adjective:
    My husband is very open-minded.
    Solution
    A compound adjective is a word where two adjectives are linked with a hyphen. Open-minded is a compound adjective, they're linked together because they modify the same noun 'husband'. Hence option B is correct. The words open and minded are hyphenated because we want them to act as a single idea that describes the noun. If the hyphen is removed, the meaning of the sentence changes. If any one adjective is omitted, the sentence is incomplete. Option A is incorrect because it's a noun. Option C is incorrect because option A is not a compound adjective. Option D is incorrect because option B is a compound adjective.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Form an adjective from the following noun:

    king
    Solution
    Option C is correct because the suffix -ly changes the noun to an adjective attributing the meaning 'the qualities of'. In the phrase "kingly presence" the adjective 'kingly' modifies the noun 'presence'. The adjective 'kinged' is archaic, it isn't used in Standard English or modern-day English, hence option D is incorrect. The words 'kingful' and 'kingish' do not exist in the dictionary, they're not used in Standard English hence options A and B are incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Identify compound adjective:
    He is a cold-blooded man.
    Solution
    A compound adjective is made up of two adjectives linked with a hyphen. 'Cold-blooded' is a compound adjective, made up of two adjectives linked with a hyphen because they modify the same noun 'man'. Hence option A is correct. When the hyphen is removed, the meaning of the sentence changes, and if one of the adjectives is omitted, the sentence would convey a completely different meaning. Option B is incorrect because it's a noun. Option C is incorrect because it's a pronoun. Option D is incorrect because only the first option (A) is correct.
