Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    George bought a bat.
    Solution
    Common nouns name general things, whereas proper nouns name specific individuals or things. For example, 'man' is a common noun whereas Thomas is a proper noun, a specific name for a particular man. Proper nouns always begin with a capital letter.
    Option A: 'George' is the name of a specific man, hence it's a proper noun.
    A 'bat' names a bird in general. Hence it's a common noun.
    So, this option is the right one.

    Options B, C and D: 'George' is a proper noun and not a common noun. It names a particular person.
    The same way, 'bat' names a type of bird and not a particular bird. Also, proper nouns begin with capital letters whereas the noun 'bat' begins with a small letter 'b'. So, 'bat' is not a proper noun. (In any sentence or a phrase in a new line, the first letter of the first word is a capital.)
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable collective noun, choosing from the alternatives given below:

    From the given options:
    Cattle is used to indicate a group of animals that are used for daily milk produce and are domesticated like cows and buffalos. 
    Crowd is a a collective noun used to indicate a group of people.
    Team is a collective noun that is used to refer to the players in a team in a sport.
    Herd is a collective noun that is used to indicate a large group of cattle.
    In the given sentence, there is a reference of a match and so the most apt collective noun that can be used in the sentence is option C) team.

    Choose the type of nouns underlined in the following sentence:
    He gave me a bunch of grapes.

    Bunch is used to describe a collection of items, hence it is a collective noun. Grapes is the common noun for a fruit.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Say whether the underlined noun is Common, Proper, Collective or Abstract:
    The crowd was very big.
    Solution
