  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of auxiliary verb from the given options.
    Rajan and Rohan's father __________ a businessman.
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb, let's understand what auxiliary verbs are. Auxiliary verbs are used to form tenses, moods and forms of other verbs. For example - I am a woman. Here, 'am' is an auxiliary verb as it indicates that the sentence is in simple present tense. 
    NOTE: Though two names are mentioned in the sentence, the main subject is 'father'. The subject of the sentence is singular and hence we need a singular auxiliary verb. 
    Option A - 'Are' is the plural form of the auxiliary verb used with a plural subject. As the subject in the given sentence is singular, we can't use 'are'. Hence, option A is incorrect. 
    Option B - 'Have' is the plural form of the auxiliary verb used with a plural subject. As the subject in the given sentence is singular, we can't use 'have' here. Hence, option B is incorrect. 
    Option D - 'Has' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb, but it indicates the possession of a thing or a person or a state of being in the present perfect tense. The given sentence requires an auxiliary verb that explains the subject's state of being in the simple present tense. Hence, option D is incorrect. 
    Option C - 'Is' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb used with a singular subject. It indicates the subject's state of being. Hence, we can use 'is' here. Thus option C is the correct answer. 
    'Rajan and Rohan's father is a businessman.'
  • Question 2

    ___________ he a university professor?
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb, let's understand what auxiliary verbs are. Auxiliary verbs are used to form tenses, moods and forms of other verbs. For example - I am a woman. Here, 'am' is an auxiliary verb as it indicates that the sentence is in simple present tense. 
    Option A - 'Are' is the plural form of the auxiliary verb used with a plural subject. As the subject in the given question is singular, we can't use 'are'. Hence, optipn A is incorrect. 
    Option C - 'Do' is the plural form of the auxiliary verb used with a plural subject. As the verb in the given question is singular, we can't use 'do' here. Hence, option C is incorrect. 
    Option D - 'Does' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb, but it indicates the 'doing' actions and not the state of being. The given question requires an auxiliary verb that explains the subject's state of being. Hence, option D is incorrect. 
    Option B - 'Is' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb used with a singular subject. It indicates the subject's state of being. Hence, we can use 'is' here. Thus option B is the correct answer. 
    'Is he a university professor?'
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Solution
    In order to select the verb from the given options, let's understand each words' meaning. 
    Option A - 'Nameless' means a person or a thing that has no name or has a name that is not known. It is an adjective and not a verb. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Nominally' means the way a person or a thing is according to someone's supposition. It is an adverb and not a verb. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Nominal' means someone or something in name or thought only, or someone or something that exists in name only. It is an adjective and not a verb. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Nominate' means to suggest something or someone to be selected. 'Nominate' is an action, hence it is a verb. Thus option C is the correct answer.
    NOMINATE is the verb among the given options.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of auxiliary verb from the given options.
    School education __________ a drastic change.
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb, let's understand what auxiliary verbs are. Auxiliary verbs are used to form tenses, moods and forms of other verbs. For example - I am a woman. Here, 'am' is an auxiliary verb as it indicates that the sentence is in simple present tense. 
    NOTE: The given sentence needs a verb in simple present tense, as the sentence is a general sentence. 'School education' is a singular subject and requires a singular auxiliary verb/verb form.
    Option A - 'Need' is the plural form of the verb used with a plural subject. As the subject of the given sentence is singular, we can't use 'need' here. Hence, option A is incorrect. 
    Option C - 'Needing' is the participle form of the verb 'need'. As the given sentence is a general statement, we can't use 'needing' here. Also, in order to use a participle verb, we need an auxiliary verb as well. Hence, option C is incorrect. 
    Option D - 'Is need' is incorrect as the given sentence needs either an auxiliary or a verb in the singular form. Hence, option D is incorrect. 
    Option B - 'Needs' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb used with a singular subject. It helps to form the sentence in simple present tense, hence we can use 'needs' here. Thus option B is the correct answer. 
    'School education needs a drastic change.'
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of auxiliary verb from the given options.
    The cost of living __________ increased a lot.
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb, let's understand what auxiliary verbs are. Auxiliary verbs are used to form tenses, moods and forms of other verbs. For example - I am a woman. Here, 'am' is an auxiliary verb as it indicates that the sentence is in simple present tense. 
    NOTE: The word 'cost' is a singular subject and hence we need a singular form of the auxiliary verb. 'Increased' indicates that the sentence can be in simple past, past perfect or present perfect tense.
    Option B - 'Is' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb used with a singular subject. As the sentence requires the verb to be simple past, past perfect or present perfect tense, we can't use 'is' here. Hence, option B is incorrect. 
    Option C - 'Am' is the plural form of the auxiliary verb which is used with the subject 'I'. As the subject is 'The cost', we cant use 'am' here. Hence, option C is incorrect. 
    Option D - 'Were' is the plural form of the auxiliary verb which can be used with a plural subject only. As the subject of the sentence is singular, we can't use 'were' here. Hence, option D is incorrect. 
    Option A - 'Has' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb used with a singular subject. It indicates the subject's state of being in present perfect or present tense. Hence, we can use 'has' here. Thus option A is the correct answer. 
    'The cost of living has increased a lot.'
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of auxiliary verb from the given options:
    Mrs. Sudha's and Mrs. Shrestha's houses ___ in the same building.
    Solution
    The auxiliary verb 'be' has many forms. Depending on the person (first person, second, third) and the number (singular or plural), the form is used.
    In the given sentence, "houses" is the subject. It is in the third person plural point of view. ("Mrs. Sudha's and Mrs. Shrestha's" is not the subject as it indicates possession, due to the apostrophes. It does not perform the action itself. Also, as these nouns do not own the same thing, each own a different house. So both will have an apostrophe attached.)
    Option B: 'Are' is a form of the auxiliary verb 'be'. It is used when the number of the subject is plural. It means: to exist or live. Hence B is the correct option.
    Option A: 'Is' is a form of 'be' used in the third person singular narrative. It is relevant to the given sentence, but the subject is in the plural narrative, hence A is incorrect.
    Options C and D: The auxiliary 'has' means 'to possess or own'. For example, 'He has a blue car.' 'Have' is a form of 'has'; the former is used in the first person (singular as well as plural) and the third person plural. The latter (has) is used for the third person singular narrative.
    These verbs do not agree with the sentence, as it does not focus on possession. The sentence focuses on the existence of the houses in the same building. Hence C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable verb:
    My father's wallet ______ lost.
    Solution
    The auxiliary verb 'be' has many forms. Depending on the person (first person, second, third), the number (singular or plural) and the tense (past: was, present: is, future: will be) the form is used.
    'To be' means to exist or live.
    In the given sentence, the subject "My father's wallet" is in the third person singular narrative. 'Wallet' is the main subject as it is the wallet that has been lost.
    From the options, 'was' is the most suitable verb. This is because 'was' is a form of 'be' used for the third person singular narrative. Hence A is correct.
    Option B: 'Were' is similar to 'was' but the difference is that it's used for a plural subject. Hence B is incorrect.
    Option C: 'Are' is also a form of 'be', but it's used in the first and third person plural narratives. Hence C is incorrect.
    Option D: 'Do' means to perform an action. Here, there is no action performed. The sentence indicates existence (of the wallet). Moreover, the wallet is a thing and cannot perform an action. It can only exist. Hence D is incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of the auxiliary verb from the given options:
    The pastry shops ___ very popular amongst the youngsters.
    Solution
    The auxiliary verb 'be' has many forms. Depending on the person (first person, second, third), the number (singular or plural) and the tense (past: was, present: is, future: will be) the form is used.
    In the given sentence, "The pastry shops" is the subject. It is plural and in the third person point of view.
    Option D: 'Are' is a form of the auxiliary verb 'be'. It means: to exist or live. It is used when the number of the subject is plural. Here, the subject is plural. Hence D is correct.
    Option A: 'Is' is a form of 'be' used in the third person singular narrative. It is relevant to the given sentence, but the subject here is plural.
    Option B: Similarly, 'was' is also a form of 'be', used to indicate past tense (as opposed to 'is' used in the present tense). But it's used for singular nouns.
    Option C: The auxiliary 'have' means 'to possess or own'. For example, 'I have a blue car.' The given sentence does not focus on possession. It focuses on existence (to be) rather than possession (to have).
    Hence A, B and C are incorrect.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of auxiliary verb from the given options.
    Haryana _______ an agricultural state.
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with the correct auxiliary verb, let's understand what auxiliary verbs are. Auxiliary verbs are used to form tenses, moods and forms of other verbs. For example - I am a woman. Here, 'am' is an auxiliary verb as it indicates that the sentence is in simple present tense. 
    NOTE: As the given sentence is a factual statement, it has to be in the simple present tense. 'Haryana' is the singular subject and hence we need the singular form of the auxiliary verb.
    Option B - 'Was' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb used with a singular subject. As we need the auxiliary verb to indicate the simple present tense, we can't use 'was' here as it indicates the simple past tense. Hence, B is an incorrect option. 
    Option C - 'Were' is the plural form of the auxiliary verb used with a plural subject. It indicates the subject's state of being in the past tense. Hence, we can't use 'were' here. Hence, C is an incorrect option. 
    Option D - 'Are' is the plural form of the auxiliary verb used with a plural subject. As the subject of the given sentence is singular, we can't use 'are' here. Hence, D is an incorrect option.  
    Option A - 'Is' is the singular form of the auxiliary verb used with a singular subject. It is used to explain an action or a sentence in the simple present tense. Thus option A is the correct answer. 
    'Haryana is an agricultural state.'
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct form of auxiliary verb from the given options:
    Several people ___ injured in the road accident.
    Solution
    The auxiliary verb 'be' has many forms. Depending on the person (first person, second, third), the number (singular or plural) and the tense (past: was, present: is, future: will be) the form is used.
    'To be' means to exist or live.
    In the given sentence, the subject "Several people" is in the third person plural narrative.
    From the options, 'were' is the most suitable verb. This is because 'were' is a form of 'be' used for the third person plural narrative. Hence B is correct.
    Option A: 'Was' is similar to 'were' but the difference is that it's used for a singular subject. 'People' is plural, hence A is incorrect.
    Options C and D: The auxiliary 'had' means 'experience or undergo'. For example, 'I had a surgery last week.' 'Have' is a form of 'had'; the former is in the present tense whereas the latter is in the past tense.
    These verbs do not agree with the sentence in terms of form. If either of them were to be used, the agreeable forms would be 'had been' or 'have been'.
    Hence C and D are incorrect.
