Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose suitable modal auxiliaries to complete the sentence:
    Mrinali: Please help me.
    Aisha: I'm sorry. I ______ if I _______ but I _______.
    Solution
    Option C: 'Would' expresses condition. It presents the hypothetical situation 'I would if I could'.
    'Could' is the past tense of 'can'. Both refer to possibility.
    The sentence contains three clauses:
    'I would', 'if I could', 'but I can't'
    The first is the probable result, based on the condition 'if I could'.
    The sentence means: I would if I was able to help, but at present I do not possess the ability to help you.
    The meaning is complete and hence option C is correct.
    Option A: 'I will if I can' does not present any condition. 'Will' presents a future, real action and does not express condition.
    Option B: 'May' expresses 'permission' and 'can' expresses 'possibility'. 'But I couldn't' is in past tense, stating an action that has already happened. The meaning hence formed is ambiguous.
    Option D: 'Shall' refers to a future action. 'Will' also refers to a future action. None of these words express the condition, put forth by the word 'if'.
    Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose an appropriate option that completes the sentence: 
    Bad news ___ make people happy.
    Solution
    'News' is an uncountable singular noun. Since we use 'doesn't' with singular noun forms option B is the correct answer.
    Option A is incorrect because we use 'don't' with plural noun forms. 
    Bad news does not normally make people happy. Options C and D are incorrect simply because they are illogical. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill suitable modal auxiliary:
    'Can you play a musical instrument?'
     'No, I ____. I have never learned that'
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    CAN'T means inability to do something.
    In the given sentence, the person is not able to play a musical instrument because he has not learned that.
    Thus CAN'T is the correct answer.
    The remaining options are incorrect because:
    COULDN'T is the past tense. The sentence is in the present tense.
    MUSTN'T expresses compulsion to not do something.
    WON'T is the contraction WILL NOT.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Use suitable verb to fill in the blank:
    This door is a fire exit. You ________ block it.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    MUSTN'T is the negation of MUST.
    MUST expresses compulsion.
    In the given sentence, it is compulsory to not block the door because it is a fire exit.
    Thus MUSTN'T is the correct answer.
    The remaining options are incorrect because:
    SHOULDN'T is the negation of SHOULD. It expresses obligation.
    CAN'T is the negation of CAN. It expresses ability.
    COULDN'T is the past tense of CAN'T.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill suitable modal auxiliary:
    If you want to wear earrings, you _____ have your ears pierced.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    SHOULD is used to express an expected result. In the given sentence, the person spoke to needs to have his ears pierced if he expects to wear earrings.
    Thus SHOULD is the correct answer.
    The remaining options are incorrect because:
    MUST expresses compulsion.
    CAN expresses ability.
    MAY expresses possibility.

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill suitable options in the blanks:
    Nobody was hurt in the accident but _____ to the car ______ quite bad. [Advanced]
    Solution
    Option C is correct. Option A and B are wrong as incorrect helping verbs are used with noun. Option C is correct since the sentence is in past tense and car is a singular noun. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable modal auxiliary denoting compulsion:
    You _____ take some time off and get some rest. 
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option D.
    MUST expresses compulsion to do something.
    In the given sentence the speaker is telling the person spoken to that it is compulsory for him to take some time off and take rest.
    Thus MUST is the correct answer.
    The remaining options are incorrect because:
    MAY and MIGHT express possibility.
    WILL express the future tense.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Insert suitable modal auxiliary:
    I _____ travel by train as I reached the station late by few minutes.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    COULDN'T is the negation of COULD.
    COULD is the past tense of CAN.
    CAN means the ability to do something.
    The given sentence is in the past tense.
    In the given sentence the speaker was not able to travel by train because he/she reached the station late.
    Thus COULDN'T is the correct answer.
    The remaining options are incorrect because:
    CAN'T is in the present tense.
    WON'T is the contraction of WILL NOT.
    WOULDN'T expresses the desire to not do something.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill suitable option:
    You ______ leave the room now as you have completed your work.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    MAY is used to grant permission.
    In the given sentence, the speaker is granting the person the permission to leave the room.
    Thus it is the correct answer.
    The remaining options are incorrect because:
    MUST expresses compulsion.
    WILL expresses the future tense,
    CAN expresses ability.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Select suitable helping verb as per the subject:
    Gymnastics _________ my favourite sport since childhood.
    Solution
    'Since' means 'from then till now'. It is used for something that is still relevant in the present.
    Options B and D: 'Gymnastics' is an uncountable noun that refers to a sport involving multiple physical exercises and movements. Hence it's a singular noun. When the subject (Gymnastics) is singular, the verb that follows must also be singular. This is called the subject-verb agreement.
    'Is' is a singular noun. Also, it's a simple present tense verb that refers to a present action ('since'). Hence option B is correct.
    'Was' is a past tense verb and refers to a past action. Due to the word 'since', the action is in the present, and hence D is wrong.
    Options A and C: 'Are' and 'were' are both plural forms of 'is' and 'was', respectively. They do not agree with the singular subject here.
    Hence A and C are wrong.
