Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
He doesn't know anything about cars, so he ____ by a trained mechanic.

A
repairs it

B
it repairs

C
has it repaired

D
is repaired

Solution

Let’s examine the sentence: “He doesn't know anything about cars, so he ____ by a trained mechanic.” The sentence has two clauses joined by ‘so.’ The first clause states that ‘he’ has no knowledge about cars and implies that ‘he’ cannot repair it. The second clause talks about ‘a trained mechanic’ and we can easily assume from the facts given that ‘he’ must be taking the help of a trained mechanic to repair his car. Let’s study the options with this understanding. Option A cannot be used as it would mean ‘he’ repairs it himself and this is wrong. Option B cannot be used as ‘it’ cannot come immediately after ‘he.’ Option D cannot be used as it would mean that ‘he’ and not the car ‘is repaired.’ Also, Options A, B and D would make the sentence meaningless. So, Option C is the correct answer that brings out the intended meaning of the sentence.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Mother, look I ______ skate well.

A
can

B
may

C
must

D
have to

E
ought to

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
CAN means being able to do something.
The speaker is telling his mother that he is able to skate well.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Rarely ____ such terrible poverty as in this African city.

A
she had seen

B
she was being seen

C
had she seen

D
was she seen

Solution

Let’s examine the sentence: “Rarely ____ such terrible poverty as in this African city.” All the options talk about her having seen the poverty. As she had already seen the poverty in the African city, the tense becomes past perfect. Past perfect tense indicates that an action was completed (finished or "perfected") at some point in the past before something else happened. This tense is formed with the past tense form of "to have," i.e. had, plus the past participle of the verb. Only options A and C meet these conditions. Of these two options, Option C is more appropriate as using ‘had’ before ‘seen’ puts an extra emphasis on the fact stated in the sentence. Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate option:
"I ______ understand the rule: _______ I take the examination another time?"
"Yes, of course."

A
could/can

B
may/may

C
can't/may

D
mustn't/must

E
may/can

Solution

The correct answer is Option C.
CAN'T means the inability to do something. In the given sentence, it is the inability of the speaker to understand the rule. MAY is used to ask a question. The speaker is asking about taking the examination another time.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
____ all that rubbish thrown away, will you?

A
Please

B
Let

C
Do

D
Have

Solution

Let’s examine the sentence: “ ____ all that rubbish thrown away, will you?” The sentence has a statement followed by a question tag, “will you?” The question tag uses ‘will’ as verb of future tense, indicating that the action stated in the statement is yet to be done. So the statement needs a helping verb of present or future tense to complete its meaning. Let’s study the options with this understanding of the sentence. Options A and B cannot be used as they are not verbs. Option C cannot be used as ‘do’ is used at the beginning of questions and here the first part of the sentence is a statement and not a question. So, Option D is the correct answer as it brings out the intended meaning of the sentence.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
What ________ UNICEF mean?

A
is

B
does

C
do

D
was

Solution

The correct option is B. 'Does' is used with third person singular pronoun/noun. 'Do' is used with second person and third person plural pronoun/noun. Here, 'UNICEF' is the singular third person. Thus, option B is correct.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
The lecturer mentioned the name of the town several times, but unfortunately, I ______ remember it.

A
can

B
could

C
may

D
could not

E
may not

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
COULD NOT means the inability to do something. In the given sentence, the speaker is unable to remember the name of the town.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
____ waste any more time on this project.

A
Do

B
Don't we

C
Let's

D
Let's not

Solution

Let’s examine the sentence: “____ waste any more time on this project.” The sentence talks about ‘wasting’ the time and so we can assume the blank would have a negative word to suggest ‘not to waste time.’ This rues out Option A and C as they do not contain a negative word. Option B cannot be used as questions start with ‘don’t’ and this sentence is a statement and not a question. Hence, Option D is the correct answer. It is a contraction of 'let us not.'
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Pupils _____speak only English at their English lessons.

A
must not

B
must

C
cannot

D
has to

E
had to

Solution

The correct answer is Option B.
MUST means compulsory. In the given sentence, it is compulsory for pupils to speak only English at their English lessons.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
The Browns _______ not return on Sunday, as the weather was bad.

A
may

B
could

C
have to

D
must

E
can't

Solution

The correct answer is Option B.
COULD expresses inability.
The Browns were unable to return because of the bad weather.
