Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The landlord ____ just rented the apartment when I got there.
    Solution
    The word 'rented' indicates that the tense of the sentence is past tense. Also, it indicates that the action of renting the apartment had been completed as the landlord had already done it by the time the subject arrived. Thus, the answer must be in the past tense and must support the fact that the action has been completed.
    Option A is incorrect. 'has' is in the present tense and not the past tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent.
    Option B is incorrect. 'have' is in the present tense and not the past tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent.
    Option C is incorrect. 'had been' is generally used in passive voice. Thus, in this case, it will change the meaning of the sentence. It will indicate that it was the landlord who was rented and not the apartment. Thus, it will not make any sense in the sentence.
    Option D is correct. 'had' is in the past tense and also indicates that the action has been completed. Thus, it is the correct answer.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The great English scientist Isaac Newton ______ not far from Cambridge.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    When the door ____, Frank was very surprised.
    Solution
    In the sentence, the words 'was' and 'surprised' indicate that the tense of the sentence is past tense. Thus, the answer must also be in the past tense.
    Option A is incorrect. 'opens' is in the present tense and not the past tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent. 
    Option B is incorrect. 'is opened' is also in the present tense as in this case 'is' determines the tense. Thus, using it will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    Option C is correct. 'was opened' is in the past tense. Thus, it has the correct tense and is the correct answer.
    Option D is incorrect. 'opening' is a gerund and in order to make it a complete verb, an auxiliary is required. Thus, due to the lack of n auxiliary, 'opening' cannot be used because it will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    Who_______ at the meeting yesterday?
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    He met me with the bird in his hand. It _____ curiously at me.
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer because the statement is in the simple past tense , hence the right option is "was looking" because "was" is the past tense of "is" , hence it is correct.
    Option A is incorrect because "looks" is the third person present form of "look", which is in the present tense but the statement is in the past tense.
    Option C is incorrect because "has been looking" means that he started looking a long time ago and is still looking which is incorrect because according to the statement, it is in the simple past tense.
    Option D is incorrect because "would" is the past tense of "will" which is in future tense.
    Option E is the correct answer because "should look" means making a suggestion, but the statement describes an incident that occurred in the past hence it is incorrect.
