Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    We called Allan. He came 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. In the first half of the sentence, the noun is the "We" and thus in the second sentence to refer to this noun a pronoun needs to be used. 
    Us is a pronoun, but it's not a subject pronoun. Us in an object pronoun that can be used as the object of a preposition or the object of a verb. It is the right answer. 
    Option B is correct. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The sea is dirty. There is oil on _______ .
    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 half of the sentence, the noun is sea and thus in the second sentence to refer to this noun a pronoun needs to be used. The sea is a neutral noun thus "her" is a wrong option. "Them" and "They"are used when group of nouns are present. Over here a single noun is present thus "it" is the right option. 
    Option C is the correct option. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Do you want those shoes? I don't want _________ .
    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 half of the sentence, the noun is the "the shoes" and thus in the second sentence to refer to this noun a pronoun needs to be used. The noun is neutral thus pronoun used should not be gender specific. This eliminates "him". Shoes are always present in pairs. "its" can be used when the noun is present singly. It is wrong. 
    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. It is the wrong option
    Them is used to refer to the object of a clause. In other words, it usually represents the group of people or things that have ‘experienced’ the action described by the verb, and refers back to two or more people or things that were mentioned earlier. This is the right option. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The postman gave me two letters, so I gave ________ to my mother.
    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. In this sentence, there are two nouns present, which means they are present in a group. 
    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. It is the wrong option. 
    Its is the positive form of "it". Again "it" is not used in case of groups.  
    Them is used to refer to the object of a clause. In other words, it usually represents the group of people or things that have ‘experienced’ the action described by the verb, and refers back to two or more people or things that were mentioned earlier
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    She expresses __________ very clearly, though sometimes she doesn't remember the right word.
    Solution
    A reflexive pronoun is normally used when the object of a sentence is the same as the subject. In this particular sentence,  personal pronoun, "she" has its own reflexive form (which is the blank).
    himself is the reflexive form of "he"/ male gender
    herself is the reflexive form of "she/ female gender"
    her is not a reflexive pronoun instead it is a personal pronoun when used as an object of the sentence
    herselves is a wrong word as the plural of herself becomes "themselves"
    Option B is correct. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A: Who told you they were moving?
    B: They told me _________.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Everyone is responsible for _______ own composition.
    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. 
    The indefinite pronoun everybody is a singular pronoun, like the pronoun everyone, even though conceptually these pronouns represent groups of people. These singular pronouns take singular verbs. Although it is grammatical to use singular pronouns and possessives to refer back to these pronouns later in a sentence, most people don't. The majority of speakers of American English, except in very formal contexts, will use plural pronouns and possessives, which is "their". More tradition-minded speakers may stick to singular pronouns and possessives, but these can end up sounding awkward, because English has no singular, gender-neutral pronouns and possessives for people. Therefore, one has to make a choice between the feminine and masculine forms, or use both. Thus, in this case we need to use, his/her, which is not there in the option. Thus, B is the correct answer. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A: What is the characteristic of people who live alone?
    B: Some of them have tendency to talk 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. In this particular sentence, a general population have been referred to. Reflexive pronouns end in -self or -selves. They refer back to the subject forms of personal pronouns.
    The subject pronoun for himself is he/him/his
    The subject pronoun for oneself is one
    the subject pronoun for itself is it
    the subject pronoun for themselves is them/they. This is the correct option
    Option D is corrcet. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    __________ photocopiers.
    Solution
    The given sentence requires a subject and a verb. The noun is also in the plural form. So a plural pronoun and a plural verb must be used.
    There's means there is.
    They're means they are.
    We're means we are.
    It's means it is.
    thus both the options B and C are correct.
    Options A and D are incorrect.


  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    They were all strangers to me. I'd met _________ of them before.
    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. 
    Either and neither can be used in several ways: adverbs, determiners, pronouns and conjunctions. While 'either' has a positive connotation, 'neither' holds a negative significance. You will always find them paired up this way: either/or and neither/nor. But in this case, none of the them are paired. It is the wrong option. 
    None has a plural sense (“not any”) as well as a singular sense (“not a single one”). It is the correct option. 
    "All" is the wrong option here
    Option C is correct.
