Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Our teacher gives _________ a lot of homework.

A
Our

B
Us

C
Her

D
His

Solution

The correct answer is Option B.
We can make out from the word OUR that the speaker is talking of more than one person. The correct word that completes the sentence would be the relevant plural third person pronoun i.e. US. Hence Option B is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option A: OUR is a possessive pronoun and there is no meaning of possession here.
Option C and D: HER and HIS are third person singular nouns, whereas there is a reference to more than people in the given sentence (as explained above).
Hence Option B is the correct answer.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.
Mike eats cheeseburgers because ___________ likes ____________.

A
He / their

B
Him / they

C
He / them

D
Him / them

Solution

The correct answer is Option C.
A pronoun is used to refer to a noun.
Mike will be referred to by a masculine pronoun i.e. HE.
Cheeseburgers will be referred to by a neuter gender pronoun i.e. THEM.
HIM is incorrect because it is always the object in a sentence. Whereas Mike is the subject in the given sentence.
Hence Option C is the correct answer.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate pronoun:
I enjoyed ____________ .

A
myself

B
yourself

C
themselves

D
ourself

Solution

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). The nine English reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, himself, herself, oneself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. This blank would also contain a reflexive pronoun as the subject is speaking about "himself" or "herself" which makes the subject and object similar. Now, this sentence is in first person which means the object is also going to be in the first person. "Myself" is in first person. This is the correct option.
"Yourself" is used while addressing in second person.
"Themselves" is used while addressing in third person, plural form.
"Ourself" is a wrong word as "Our" is used in plural form while referring in first person. "Our" in reflexive pronoun form becomes "Ourselves". Options B, C and D are wrong
Option A is correct.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
That's my dictionary. Can I have _________ back please?

A
It

B
You

C
Them

D
My

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 A, 'it' is the correct answer as it replaces the noun 'dictionary' that has already been mentioned. 'It' is generally used to refer to things, animals or children whose gender is not specified.
Option B, C and D are incorrect because 'you' is used to refer to the person or people that the speaker is addressing, 'them' is used to refer to two or more people or things previously mentioned or easily identified and 'my' is used to refer to something belonging to or associated with the speaker.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the suitable pronoun:

_______ patient has been told about the procedure.

A
Each

B
Each of

C
Either

D
Neither

Solution

Each, each of, either and neither are distributive pronouns. ‘Each’ and ‘Each of’ are used to present the members of a group as individuals. Whereas ‘either’ and ‘neither’ are used when there is a comparison or choice between two things only. Since the given sentence is speaking about a group of patients, ‘either’ and ‘neither’ cannot be used. Thus options C and D are incorrect. On the other hand, ‘each’ is used for singular nouns like “each candidate” while ‘each of’ is used for plural nouns, such as “each of the kids”. Since the noun ‘patient’ is in singular ‘each’ is the suitable answer. Thus option A is correct, while option B is incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I have a very good radio. I don't need ________.

A
other one

B
any

C
some

D
another

Solution

The sentence indicates that the subject already has a good radio and does not need an additional one. Thus, the answer must means 'additional'.
Option A is incorrect. In 'other one', 'other indicates an additional object but, it is used only if that additional object is different than the first one. Here both the objects are same and so, 'other' cannot be used.
Option B is incorrect. 'any' means 'in whatever quantity available' and not 'additional'. For example, do you have any rice. Thus, it does not have the required meaning.
Option C is incorrect. 'some' means 'unspecified but considerable in number' and not 'additional'. For example, we talked for some time'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning.
Option D is correct. 'another' means 'additional' for the same object. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct option.
The noun or noun phrase that a pronoun replaces is called its ______.

A
precedent

B
nominative

C
subject

D
antecedent

Solution

The correct answer is Option D - antecedent. The noun or noun phrase that a pronoun replaces is called the pronoun's antecedent.
For example: Kevin likes to play the guitar. He plays in a band with three other people. ("Kevin" is the antecedent of the pronoun "he.")
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
A: Whose is this?
B: ________

A
His

B
He's

C
It's

D
It is

Solution

Option A: The pronoun 'his' is possessive, i.e. it expresses ownership of something. In the given dialogue, the question is 'Whose is this?', or 'Who owns this?' The answer replies in a one-word sentence 'his', as it expresses ownership. Hence A is correct.
(An elliptical sentence is a shortened phrase, or even a word, where certain words are omitted because they have been mentioned or implied before.)
Options B, C, D: 'He's' is a contraction of 'he is' and 'it's' is a contraction of 'it is'.
These are all phrases made with the pronouns 'he' and 'it', and the verb 'is'.
They do not express possession of anything., nor do they answer the question. They do not form a complete sentence too.
Hence these options are incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
A: Whose car is that?
B: It's ____________.

A
to her

B
her's

C
her

D
Mrs. Jacob's

Solution

Option D: The apostrophe s in 'Mrs. Jacob's' expresses possession/belonging of an object, the 'car'. The question in A asks who the car belongs to. Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'To her' expresses an action done to 'her'. The given statements do not focus on action, but on possession.
Option B: 'Her's' grammatically incorrect. The apostrophe isn't required in possessive pronouns 'his, hers, yours, theirs'.
Option C: 'Her' is an object pronoun, but does not indicate possession of the car. It does not complete the conversation in meaning.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option from those given below.

Those _______ live in glass houses should not throw stones. [Advanced]

A
whose

B
whom

C
which

D
who

Solution

The nominative case is used when the pronoun is the subject of a verb, here the people. Hence the nominative pronoun "who" is to be used. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
