Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the correct word to fill the blank. Two words at A and B are provided for choice. If either of the words can be chosen, choose C and if none of the words can be chosen, then choose D as your choice:
She has learnt her ________.

A
Lesson

B
Lessen

C
Any one of these

D
None of these

Solution

Homophones are words that have the same or similar pronunciations, but different meanings. 'Lesson' and 'lessen' are homophones.
Options A and B:
'Lesson' is 'a piece of wisdom learnt through experience or study'.
It's a noun, and is relevant to the given sentence, as the person 'she' has 'learnt' something.
The word 'lessen' means 'to make something less'. It's a verb. This word does not fit into the sentence in meaning as well as in structure. The object of the verb 'learnt' must be a noun 'lesson' and not another verb 'lessen'.
Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect.
Options C and D are incorrect for the same: C cannot be correct because B is incorrect, and D cannot be correct because A is correct.
Question 2
1 / -0

Select the word which means the opposite of the given word:

Scared

A
Nervous

B

Option A - 'Nervous' means 'tense'. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'Cautious' means 'careful'. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Timid' means 'overly cautious or careful'. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'Brave' means 'fearless'. Hence, it is the opposite of 'Scared'. Thus option B is the correct answer.
'Scared - Brave'

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the passage and answer the question that follows:[/passage-header]
The camel is the oldest of domestic animals. It has been used for thousands of years by the desert people of Asia to supply many of their needs. On the fertile edges of the desert, camels pull ploughs, turn wheels to irrigate the fields and carry goods to the market. In the desert itself, they are still almost the only means of transport. They supply food and clothing in the form of wool and leather.
This useful animal is well adapted to life in harsh, arid lands. The Arabian camel has one hump; the Bactrian camel has two. The hump is, in fact, a store of fat which is used as a source of energy when food and water are scarce. When it does drink, the camel can take up 100 litres of water in ten minutes. The camel has broad, soft feet to form a steady grip in the sand. A thick skin protects it from the fierce day time sun and bitterly cold nights. The camel's eyes have three eyelids to help protect them from sand; its ears and nose are also adapted to keep out sand storms.
Camels stand about two meters high at the shoulder and weigh 500-800 kilos. Often called "The ships of the Desert", they can carry loads of 200 kilos and more, travelling up to 16 kilometers a day.Camels eat grass, dates, and grain when available. Deep in the desert, they survive on dry leaves, seeds, and bones.

[passage-header]Read the passage and answer the question below.[/passage-header]In 1948 after Gandhi's death, Vinoba Bhave, one of his closest disciples, retired to five acres of land to learn to live without money and to practise the self-sufficiency which Gandhi and believed was the solution to the poverty of rural India. Then, in 1951, after much persuasion, he agreed to travel 300 miles to attend the annual general meeting of the 'Sarvodaya Samaj' to be held in Hyderabad.
After the meeting was over, he went into the district of Telengana where there was a state of political terrorism in the countryside. Here on April 18, 1951, at the village of Pochempelli, he was offered one hundred acres for the use of Harijans by a rich landowner. Vinoba Bhave was tremendously excited by this gift. He decided to get more people to give away some of their land to the poor.
The news of the saint who caused people to give land to the landless spread through the district and his arrival was now eagerly awaited in village after village. The richer villagers began to offer him more land. Sometimes, of course, the rich men did not want to give their land. To these he said, "Treat me as one of your sons and give me my share of land." Within fifty days he had collected 12,000 acres for distributing to the landless poor of the countryside.
