Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The Browns will go on a picnic unless it ____ .

A
doesn't rain

B
won't rain

C
rains

D
will rain

Solution

Let’s examine the sentence: “The Browns will go on a picnic unless it ____ .” We use unless to say that there may be an exception and that this exception will change the situation. Unless is used with present tense. Hence, Option C is the correct answer as it is fulfilling these conditions. Other options cannot be used as they would make the sentence meaningless.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
________ you have a good time last summer?

A
do

B
did

C
Will

D
Were

Solution

The correct answer is B. The sentence is in past tense. 'Did + subject + base form of the verb' is used to ask question in past tense. Hence, options A, c and D are wrong.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:
I ______ not translate this text yesterday. _______ you help me to translate it tonight?

A
could/can

B
can/can

C
may/may

D
had to/could

E
can/must

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
COULD is the past tense of CAN.
CAN means the ability to do something.
In the given sentence, the speaker was unable to translate the text the previous day. Thus COULD is the correct answer.
The second sentence is in the present tense. The speaker is asking for the person's help. Thus CAN is the correct answer.
Thus COULD/CAN is the correct answer.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
If he ____ really as happy as you say, why doesn't he smile occasionally?

A
is

B
were

C
was

D
be

Solution

As we can see, the verb 'happy' is incomplete. So, the answer must be an auxiliary that completes the verb 'happy'. Further, 'doesn't' indicates that the tense of the sentence is present and so, the answer must also be in the present tense.
Option A is correct. 'is' is an auxiliary verb in the present tense. Thus, it meets the required conditions and is the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect. 'were' is in the past tense and can only be used with plural subjects. Thus, it does not meet the required conditions and is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. 'was' is an auxiliary in the past tense. Thus, it does not meet the required conditions and is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect. 'be' is an auxiliary but it cannot be used in this form or for present tense. It can be used in its infinitive form or along with the auxiliaries have or will. For example, I want to be a doctor; I will be late; It would be wrong. Thus, it is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A: They are not very fond of chips.
B: Neither _________.

A
do I

B
am I

C
I am

D
I don't

Solution

The correct answer is B. The sentence is in present tense and explains that choices are negative. Option A is wrong as in first sentence, 'do' verb is not used. Option D is wrong as 'Neither' itself explains a negative choice. Thus option B is correct.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

How long has he _____ the manager?

A
been

B
to be

C
being

D
be

Solution

A verb is used to express an occurrence, action, or state. It is the grammatical center of the predicate in a sentence.
An auxiliary verb is a verb which is used in the formation of tenses, moods, tones, etc.
Option A is correct as how long and has indicate the use of past participle. Also, be is used as an ordinary verb here.
The other options are wrong as no other tense can be used here.
The correct answer is A) been
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The movie ____ interesting at the end.

A
stops

B
sees

C
goes

D
gets

Solution

The sentence indicates that the movie becomes interesting at the end. Thus, the answer must mean 'becomes'.
Option A is incorrect. 'stops' means 'ceases' and not 'becomes'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning and is not the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect. 'sees' means 'looks' and not 'becomes'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning and is not the correct answer.
Option C is incorrect. 'goes' means 'travels to' and not 'becomes'. Thus, it does not have the required meaning and is not the correct answer.
Option D is correct. 'gets', in this case, means 'becomes'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He has a headache so he ____ take an aspirin.

A
must

B
ought

C
had to

D
must have

Solution

The sentence indicates that the subject has a headache and that he needs to take an aspirin. Thus, the answer must indicate that the subject needs to take an aspirin.
Option A is correct. 'must' means 'necessity or need'. Thus, it indicates that the subject needs to take an aspirin. Therefore, it conveys the correct meaning and is the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect. 'ought' indicates moral obligation and not need. Thus, it does not convey the correct meaning. Further, there must always be a 'to' after 'ought'. Since there isn't in this case, it will make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. 'had to' indicates compulsion and not need. Further, it is in the past tense and the sentence is in the simple present tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent.
Option D is incorrect. 'must have' indicates need but, it is in the present perfect tense while the sentence is in simple present tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:

Does Larry _____ leave home at $$7.30$$?

A
have to

B
must

C
has to

D
need

E
should
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
I was ill and _____ go to school for some days.

A
can't

B
must

C
could

D
couldn't

E
can

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
COULDN'T means the inability to do something. In the given sentence, the speaker was ill, thus was not able to go to school.
The sentence is in the past tense. Thus COULDN'T is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
CAN'T is the present tense.
MUST expresses compulsion.
COULD and CAN mean the ability to do something.
