1 / -0

Select the most appropriate word for the black space:
The French ______ reputed to have a very good sense of humour. [Advanced]

A
Is

B
Was

C
Are

Will be

Solution

"The French" is a plural noun which refers to the people of France collectively. In case of collective plural nouns, plural form of verb is used to modify the noun. Also, the sentence uses the main verb "reputed" which indicates generally supposed to be such. In such cases the simple present tense is considered correct. Hence, the plural auxiliary verb "are" is the correct answer. Option C is correct.
Option A is incorrect as "is" is a singular verb.
Option B is incorrect as "was" is used for past tense.
Option D is incorrect as "will be" is used for future tense.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the correct option.
A few hour's study _____ enough. [Intermediate]

A
Is

B
Are

C
The

D
None of the above

Solution

The 'subject' of a sentence is the noun to which the verb in the sentence refers, and so the two must always agree in number: singular subjects must be paired with singular verbs; and plural subjects, with plural verbs.
In the sentence, the subject (study) is singular. So, the verb should be singular (is) and not plural (are).
The is used with or as part of a title. Also, it is grammatically incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable auxiliary verb:
The boy with the black shoes __________ my cousin.

A
Am

B
Is

C
Do

D
Are

Solution

The sentence talks about 'the boy' indicating that there is one boy with 'black shoes' which indicates that there is more than one shoe. The sentence is in the third person singular and so the correct word to fill in the blank is option B) 'is'. Option A) 'am' is used for the first person, option C) 'do' is irrelevant in the given context and option D) 'are' is used with plural words.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable auxiliary verb:
February __________ twenty eight days.

A
Did

B
Does

C
Has

D
Have

Solution

Auxiliary verbs are helping verbs that add some meaning to the clauses in which they appear. They almost always (except in some cases) appear with the verb.
From the options given below, option A) did is the past tense form of the verb 'do' and option B) does is the third person singular in present tense form of the verb 'do.' Option C) has is used in third person present and option D) have is used in plural subjects in the past tense. The sentence given talks about the month of February and the number of days it has. February can be considered to be a third person and its state is that it has twenty-eight days. Therefore, the most apt auxiliary verb that we can use is option C) has.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable auxiliary verb:
She ____________ not believe in superstitions.

A
is

B
does

C
do

D
are

Solution

Auxiliary verbs are helping verbs that add some meaning to the clauses in which they appear. They almost always (except in some cases) appear with the verb. The sentence is a negative one due to the use of the word 'not'. The auxiliary verb 'do', 'did' and 'does' are commonly used in question sentences or negative sentences. 'Do' is used in first and second person singular and plural and third person plural whereas 'does' is used in third person singular. The sentence given uses 'she' which is a third person singular and therefore, the most appropriate word to fill in the blank is option B) does and not option C) do.
'Is' and 'are' are used in positive or affirmative sentences and therefore options A) and D) are incorrect answers in the given context of the sentence.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable auxiliary verb:
Each of the players _________ given a prize by the headmaster.

A
Was

B
Did

C
Does

D
Is

Solution

In this question, we have to apply the concept of Subject-Verb Agreement.
In the given sentence, "Each of the players" is the subject. "Each" refers to every single person in a group or every individual. And therefore a singular verb is used. However option C "is" cannot be used here as its use here will denote a habitual action which is not favourable as per the sentence given. Option B "Did" and option C "does" cannot be used here as they are basically used in interrogatives or emphasizing a work. So option A, "was" is the correct answer.
