Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
She turned this way and that, admiring ___________ in the mirror.

A
himself

B
herself

C
hers

D
him

Solution

When the subject and the object of the verb is the same person or thing, we use a reflexive pronoun. When reflexive pronouns are used to put emphasis on a particular noun, they are called emphatic pronouns.
In the given sentence the subject and the object of the verb is 'she'. So a reflexive pronoun must be used.
The reflexive pronoun for singular third person is 'himself','herself' or 'itself' according to the gender of the noun. As the subject of the given sentence is female, the reflexive pronoun 'herself' must be used. Thus option B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect.
'Him' and 'hers' are not reflexive pronouns. Thus options C and D are incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A: There is someone at the door.
B: __________ it is, I don't want to see them.

A
Whichever

B
Whoever

C
Wherever

D
Whatever

Solution

If we add -ever to wh-words like how, what, which, when, where and who, we change their meaning.
Whichever is used for specifying about things, ‘it doesn’t matter which’
Whoever is used to specify people, ‘it doesn’t matter who’
Wherever is used in case of places, ‘it doesn’t matter where’
Whatever is used for things, ‘it doesn’t matter what’
This sentence mentions about a person. Option B is correct.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
The couple in the flat upstairs are making _________ unpopular by shouting at _________ at the top of their voices every night.

A
themselves / each other

B
them / one another

C
herself / one another

D
as / each other

Solution

When the subject and the object of the verb is the same person or thing, we use a reflexive pronoun.
In the given sentence the subject and the object of the verb is 'the couple'.
'Himself' and 'Themselves' are the reflexive pronouns for the singular and plural third persons respectively. As in the given sentence a plural noun is used, the reflexive pronoun 'themselves' must be the answer.
'Each other' is a reciprocal pronoun that is used to indicate that the people do the same thing, feel the same way or have the same relationship.
Thus option A is the correct answer. Options B,C,D are incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct word from the options given below:

The woman ______ came to the door left flowers for you. [Advanced]

A
who

B
whom

C
whose

D
which

Solution

A subject of a sentence is the person, place or thing we are talking about. Generally, if we can replace the subject with a subject pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, we, they), the correct choice to refer back to it is by using the relative pronoun who.
An object in a sentence is the person, thing or place who is on the receiving end of the action. If we can replace the object with an object pronoun (me, you, him, her, it, us, them), the correct choice to refer back to it is by using the relative pronoun whom.
Whose (the possessive from of who) is used in speaking of persons, animals and also things without life.
Which is used for things without life and for animals.
Here, Option A is correct. We use 'who' as we are referring to the subject of the sentence.
Consequently, the other three options cancel out.

_______ is going? [Basic]

A
which

B

1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct option listed below:

My uncle, ______ lives in Calcutta, is an excellent fisherman. [Basic]

A
whose

B

Solution

The sentence requires a relative pronoun to refer to the subject of the sentence, here the uncle. The word "who" is used for this purpose. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence, incorrect.

A
when

B
which

C
that

D

Solution

Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses. The most common relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, that. The relative pronoun we use depends on what we are referring to and the type of relative clause. In this sentence we would understand the usage of relative pronoun.
When talk about time. It is the right option
Which talk about people or things.
That specifies about people, animals and things; informal
Where mentions about place.
Option A is correct.

Whose (the possessive from of who) is used in speaking of persons, animals and also things without life.
Which is used for things without life and for animals.
Here, Option B is correct. We use 'who'. Although the object is being referred to in this sentence but it functions as the subject, like 'he made the mess'. He is in the nominative case, hence 'who' needs to be used.
Consequently, the other three options cancel out.

This is the man _______ I told you about. [Intermediate]

A
whom

B

An object in a sentence is the person, thing or place who is on the receiving end of the action. If we can replace the object with an object pronoun (me, you, him, her, it, us, them), the correct choice to refer back to it is by using the relative pronoun whom.
Whose (the possessive from of who) is used in speaking of persons, animals and also things without life.
Which is used for things without life and for animals.
Here, Option A is correct. We use 'whom'. We can say like this, 'I told you about him'. So, 'him' is in the accusative case which is referred to by 'whom'.
Consequently, the other three options cancel out.
