Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point. 
    Working with animals requires sensitivity to their complex behaviour and emotions.
    Solution
    An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun stands (ante = "before"). The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number. Rule: A singular pronoun must replace a singular noun; a plural pronoun must replace a plural noun. The antecedent here is 'animals' which is plural, so we need a plural pronoun. Hence, the correct answer is D.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the error in the sentence at the underlined point:

    The fair-haired lady and the dark-haired lady walked into the shop, but only she came out with a bag of purchases. [Advanced]
    Solution
    Though the sentence speaks of 2 people, it concludes with only one person's actions. The word 'she' leaves unclear which of the two people is being spoken of. Therefore, 'she' needs to be replaced with 'the fair- haired lady', which makes clear exactly who came out with a bag. Hence, the correct answer is B) The fair-haired lady. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point. 
    Jack informed Henry that his coat was missing a button. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    The sentence requires 'his' to be replaced with a noun to make it clear whose button is missing. Hence, the correct option is B) Henry's.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Replace the underlined part with a suitable noun:
    They say that a balance of different coloured vegetables is necessary for a healthy diet.
    Solution
    Of the given options, A) Nutritionists say is the right choice as it clearly conveys who has made the statement.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

    The characteristics of Impressionist painting include relatively small and thin brushstrokes, open composition, depiction of light and the inclusion of movement. These made it a radical art movement in its time.
    Solution
    The mere use "these" does not include all the characteristics of the impressionist movement and might refer to something else other than intended. Therefore "All of these features" must be used to clarify which nouns are being substituted. Also, the features being inanimate, no personal pronoun can be used. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule,  hence, incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point.
    Bangalore is greener than Mumbai, but it also has fewer job opportunities. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    The sentence is comparing two cities. 'It' leaves unclear which city is being referred to. The answer must, therefore, indicate a particular city. Hence, the correct answer is B) Bangalore.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
    Failing to obtain admission at the college of his choice was the greatest disappointment of Eddie's young life, and it made him a hard worker.
    Solution
    Since the reference is to an event, which means something inanimate, hence third person singular neuter pronoun "it" should be used. Therefore the sentence requires no change. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the statement at the underlined point:
    The brothers, whose father was a millionaire, could afford anything he wanted.
    Solution
    An antecedent is a word for which a pronoun stands (ante = "before"). The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in number. Rule: A singular pronoun must replace a singular noun; a plural pronoun must replace a plural noun. The antecedent here is 'brothers' which is plural. So, we need a plural pronoun. Hence, the correct answer is C) They.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the statement at the underlined point:
    Jacob and me walked into the shopping mall together.
    Solution
    A noun or pronoun is said to be in the subjective/nominative when it is used as the subject of the sentence. Here, the noun 'Jacob' and the pronoun is in the subjective case as it is the subject of the verb 'walked'. Hence, we need to use the pronoun 'I' instead of 'me' because 'I' is a subjective case pronoun whereas 'me' is an objective case pronoun, which has been incorrectly used.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

    The car was first introduced to people in the nineteenth century and they rapidly became a very common form of transportation.
    Solution
    The pronoun is used in place of a noun. Here, the noun is 'the car', so the pronoun that can replace it is B) it. ('They' is incorrect because 'they' refers to living things and plural nouns. 'Its' is also wrong because 'its' refers to the possessive case.)
