Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the best option to complete the sentence given below :

    The panel was divided in ____ opinions. [Advanced]
    Solution
    Let us understand concept of what is required in the blank. When the group is acting as a unit, doing the same thing at the same time — the noun is singular and the pronouns that refer to it are also singular. When noun is plural or the when a group of people are doing different things, the pronouns that are used are also plural.
     
    In this sentence, "The panel was divided in------ opinions". The word "opinions", it is in plural form. This means there are more than one opinion, "divided in" meaning they are not on the same lane and not doing the same thing. For this reason we cannot use a singular pronoun and have to use a plural form. 
    Option A- "its" is a singular pronoun referring to a thing.
    Option B- "her" is a singular pronoun referring to a female individual.
    Option C- "their" is a plural form of a pronoun referring to a group of people
    The option "their" matches to what is needed in the blank
    Option D- Is not valid as Option "A" and "B" are wrong for this question.

    Option "C" is the correct answer. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    From the given options, which of the following is not a type of pronoun?
    Solution
    There are five kinds of pronouns-
    • Personal pronouns (e.g., he, they)
    • Demonstrative pronouns (e.g., this, these)
    • Interrogative pronouns (e.g., which, who)
    • Indefinite pronouns (e.g., none, several)
    • Possessive pronouns (e.g., his, your)
    • Reciprocal pronouns (e.g., each other, one another)
    • As Adjectival Pronoun is not a type of pronoun, option D is the correct answer. 
    • Options A,B,C are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate pronoun :
    My son and my daughter are very fond of ________.
    Solution
    A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g. I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g. she, it, this ). In the options given:
    "Herself", "Themselves" and "Himself" are reflexive pronoun. Reflexive pronouns are words ending in -self or -selves that are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same (e.g., I believe in myself). This is a wrong choice. 
    "Each other" is a reciprocal pronoun. We use the reciprocal We use the reciprocal pronouns "each other" and one another when two or more people do the same thing. Traditionally, each other refers to two people and one another refers to more than two people, but this distinction is disappearing in modern English. In this sentence, two persons are present which makes option B correct. 
    Option B is correct. 

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
    "Is ____________ book John's?"
    "Yes, ___________ is."
    Solution
    A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse. In the first sentence, a determiner is required which can point towards the book. "This" and "That" are words that are used as determiners. 
    In the second sentence, the book is the subject and it is referred in pronoun form. 
    The correct answer for the second blank should be "it". "Its" is the possessive of "it". "It's" means "it is". Thus, "it" is the correct answer for second sentence. 
    Option B is the correct answer. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    "How old is your aunt?"
    "_________ is 29".
    Solution
    Personal pronouns take the place of specific nouns that name people, places and things.
    In the given sentence 'the aunt' is being talked about.
    Since she is a female person, we must use 'she'.
    Thus option A is the correct answer.
    We can thus eliminate options B and D as incorrect.
    She's is the short form of she is. But the be verb is already mentioned in the sentence. So, option c is also incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate pronoun:
    It was raining cats and dogs and we didn't enjoy ______.
    Solution
    In language, a reflexive pronoun, sometimes simply called a reflexive, is a pronoun that is preceded or followed by the noun, adjective, adverb or pronoun to which it refers within the same clause. This is a sentence where we require a reflexive pronoun. In this this sentence a group is present and it is also in first person. This is understandable from the word "we". 
    himself and herself is used as a third person
    themselves are used when a group is present while indicating in third person
    ourselves is used when a group is present while indication is made in first person. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The clerk is speaking to the women. He is talking to _______.
    Solution
    A word that can function as a noun phrase used by itself and that refers either to the participants in the discourse or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse is a pronoun. 
    Them can be used as an indirect object pronoun. An indirect object refers to a third participant in the action described by the verb, often someone who receives something as a result of it. In the second sentence above, them is the indirect object and presents is the direct object. Thus Option A is correct. 
    "Him" and "He" are the wrong options as they can only be used for male genders and when present singly and not in group which is not the case in here. 
    They is used to refer to the subject of a clause. In other words, it usually represents the ‘doers’ of the action described by the verb, and usually refers back to two or more people or things that were mentioned earlier. This is not the case in the given sentence. It is the wrong option
    Option A is correct. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    "What is __________ name?" "My name's Carlos."
    Solution
    A possessive adjective is usually used to describe a noun, and it comes before the noun, like other adjectives. They describe who something belongs to.
    The given sentence is a dialogue between two persons. 
    So, a second person pronoun must be used. 
    The possessive adjective for the second person singular 'you' is 'your'. 
    'My' is the possessive adjective for first person.
    'His' and 'Her' are the possessive adjectives for third persons.
    Thus option C is the correct answer.
    Options A,B,D are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    This is my sister. _________ name is Laura.
    Solution
    Pronouns are used in place of a noun that has already been mentioned or that is already known, often to avoid repeating the noun. 
    Option C is the correct answer because it is used in place of the noun 'sister' which has already been mentioned. 'Her' is used  to mean belonging to or associated with a female person previously mentioned or easily identified.
    Options A, B and D are incorrect because 'his' is used to mean belonging to or associated with a male person previously mentioned or easily identified, 'my' is used to refer to something belonging to associated with the speaker and 'its' is used to refer to something belonging to or associated with a thing previously mentioned or easily identified. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Is Catherine __________ sister?
    Solution
    A possessive adjective is usually used to describe a noun, and it comes before the noun, like other adjectives. They describe who something belongs to.
    The given sentence is a question which is being asked to another person.
    So, a second person pronoun must be used. 
    The possessive adjective for the second person singular 'you' is 'your'. 
    'You' and 'he' are personal pronouns. 'Yours' is a possessive pronoun.
    Thus option C is the correct answer.
    Options A,B,D are incorrect.
