Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point. 
    Jenny went to a cafe with Maria where she had a latte and a muffin. [Advanced]
    Solution
    'She' needs to be replaced with a noun to clarify who it is referring to. Hence, the correct option is B) Jenny. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

    The Butler Petrol Cycle was a three-wheeled vehicle. It's rear wheel was directly driven by a flat twin four stroke engine.
    Solution
    A possessive pronoun is required to indicate that the wheel is the possession of the cycle. Since it is an inanimate object, possessive form of it should be used without apostrophe, that is, "its". "It's" is the shortened form of "it is". Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect. 

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point. 
    The little girl listened to her mother tell a story. At the end, she fell asleep. [Basic]
    Solution
    'She' needs to be replaced with a noun in order to indicate who is sleeping. Hence, the correct option is B) The little girl.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point. 
    Kate and Becky both tried on the necklace, but it only suited the other well. [Advanced]
    Solution
    The pronoun is used to replace a noun. Here, the nouns are 'Kate' and 'Becky' and the suitable pronoun to refer to the first noun is 'the former' and to refer to the second noun is 'the latter'. 'Her' can be confusing because 'Her' is the pronoun for both the nouns mentioned. Therefore, the correct option here is C) the latter. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Identify the error in the sentence at the underlined point:

    They told school students to opt for the subject they enjoyed the most as that was most likely to ensure success.
    Solution
    'They' needs to be replaced with a noun to make clear who told the students. Hence, the correct option is B) School teachers told students.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point. 
    The minister is stepping down from her position. I heard him announce it on the news this evening.
    Solution
    'Him' is unclear as to who it is referring to. It, thus, needs to be replaced with a more specific noun. The correct option is C) The news anchor.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the error in the sentence at the underlined point:

    Helen's mother thought that she was the best dancer in the class, but that may be a biased opinion. [Advanced]
    Solution
    The pronoun is used in place of a noun. Here, the nouns are 'Helen' and 'Helen's mother' and the suitable pronoun for both the nouns is  'she'. However, the use of the pronoun 'she' would be ambiguous. Therefore, to avoid such ambiguity, the correct option here is: B) Helen. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Correct the underlined word the sentence given below:
    Gerald opened the box to take out a pen but found that it was broken. [Basic]
    Solution
    The pronoun is used in replacement of a noun. Here, the nouns are 'box' and 'pen' and the suitable pronoun for both the nouns is 'it'. However, using 'it' would make it unclear as to which noun is being referred to. Therefore, to avoid ambiguity, the correct option is A: the pen. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate pronoun:
    The book you have just picked up is ___ newest.
    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 ) is a pronoun, In this case, the noun book refers to a pronoun. 
    "My" is a possessive that is always used together with a noun, and is always used like an adjective (i.e. before the noun). "Mine" is a possessive that is never followed by a noun. On the other hand, "me" is almost always used after the verb. Ours is the first person plural possessive pronoun – it replaces "our" + noun (Not applicable in this case).
    Option B is correct. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

    The men were advised to guard them from wild animals by lighting fires all around the camp.
    Solution
    Intensive pronounces end in either –self (if it is singular) or –selves (if it is plural). They are myself, ourselves, herself, himself, itself, themselves, yourself, and yourselves. We can use these pronouns to add emphasis to a sentence. Here emphasis is added to the fact that the men should protect none other than their own selves. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
