Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate verb.
    Rekha has been learning swimming for years. She ______ swim very well now.
    Solution
    Modal Verbs show us the attitude of the speaker to what is being said or done. The term "modal" means expressing mood and mood is a way to express the attitude of the speaker.
    Option B is correct because "can" expresses the mood of ability. And the sentence is in present tense in which the subject has been learning a quality for years. Therefore, the subject has the ability to function that quality now.
    Whereas, option A, C and D are incorrect because option A expresses the verb in past form, which is not applicable; option C expresses less possibility which doesn't fit into the sentence; option D expresses what needs to be done or what must be done, which doesn't fit into the sentence as well.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate modal denoting duty. 

    We _______ to honour our parents.
    Solution
    'Ought' is different from other auxiliary verbs, it is followed by a to-infinitive. Ought expresses idea such as duty, necessity, moral obligation. It is not forceful as must but is stronger than should.

    The sentence expresses a moral obligation, therefore 'ought' is the apt choice.
    Whereas 'should' shows a weaker degree of necessity, 'may' refers to a probability, and 'can' shows the ability. Therefore options B, C, D are incorrect.

    Option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that completes the sentence correctly.

    No member of the team ______ do it.
    Solution
    'Couldn't help' needs an object to follow it hence it cannot be used in the given sentence. Apart from that, the given sentence itself is in negative construction, and 'couldn't help' is also negative, and using two negatives in the given sentence will make it grammatically incorrect hence it does not fit in the blank. 'Stopped' followed by 'do it' is grammatically incorrect. 'Wasn't capable' has to be followed by 'of'. and it is also a negative construction hence it does not fit in the given sentence
    So, the most appropriate answer is D) saw him.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    In the following sentence, fill in the blank with a verb in agreement with its subject. 
    Man's happiness or misery _______ in his own hands.
    Solution
    When a sentence uses 'or', we take the items mentioned as singular and when it uses 'and' we consider the items together and use a plural verb. So, options A) and D) can be eliminated. While making a general statement, we always use the simple present tense. So, option C) was is also incorrect and the correct answer is option B) is. In the given sentence, two singular subjects (Man's happiness and misery) are joined by 'or' and according to the subject-verb-agreement rule, we must use a singular verb and since the given statement is a general statement or a fact of life, we would need the verb to be in the present tense. That leaves us with the correct option: is.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with appropriate verb.
    He has three buildings in Jaipur. He ____ be a rich man.
    Solution
    The correct answer here is 'Must' - making option C) the correct answer. This is because as is clear from the sentence, the fact that the person owns three buildings denotes his financial situation pretty clearly, and all signs point to him being very rich. Shall makes the sentence a prediction; should and can imply a matter of probabaility The appropriate word to express this near accurate possibility is must. All other options are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate word:
    The clouds are very thin and high. Still it _____ rain
    Solution
    Modal Verbs show us the attitude of the speaker to what is being said or done. The term "modal" means expressing mood and mood is a way to express the attitude of the speaker.
    The given sentence expresses the mood of lesser possibility of rain as the clouds are very thin and high. Therefore, option C is correct as it expresses lower chance of possibility.
    Whereas, option A expresses strong assurance regarding what is to be done; option B suggests what was possible in the past; option D expresses what is to be done in future.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Complete the sentence with the best possible option from those given below:

    Every one of them _____ given _____ uniform.
    Solution
    According to the subject verb agreement, neither, either, each, everyone, many a, must be followed by a singular verb.
    In the given sentence singular verb is required as "every" is mentioned and the object mentioned is in singular form therefore demonstrative adjective will also be in singular form.
    Option A is correct because it has both singular verb and demonstrative adjective.
    Whereas, option B contains plural verb and pronoun; option C contains singular verb but has no demonstrative adjective; option D contains plural verb and possessive pronoun.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    _____ God bless you!
    Solution
    Modal Verbs show us the attitude of the speaker to what is being said or done. The term "modal" means expressing mood and mood is a way to express the attitude of the speaker.
    The given sentence is an exclamatory sentence and generally the modal verb "may" is used case of wishing someone or hoping something for someone. Therefore option C is the correct answer.
    Whereas option A suggests what is to be done; option B suggests ability; and option D suggest something that may happen in future.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct word(s) that correctly completes the sentence.
    Either Surendra or his friends _______ asked to pay a visit to the university. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    The correct option is B. The rule is when one of the nouns connected by 'or' or 'nor' is plural then the verb must be plural and the plural subject should be placed next to the verb. Here, 'Surendra' is singular subject and 'his friends' is plural subject thus 'have been' is used which is plural verb. Hence, 'Have been' is the best fit according to the rule.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    My father is not well. Still, he _____ go to work.

    Option D is the correct answer because it expresses lower chances of possibility as the subject is not well
    Whereas option A  suggests ability; option B suggests higher chances of possibility; and option C expresses unsure certainty of what one intends to do in future.
