Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Identify the phrase(s) in the following sentence:
There was a narrow track through the jungle.

A
a narrow track

B
There was a narrow

C
through the jungle

D
a narrow track through the jungle

Solution

Prepositional phrases are a group of words containing preposition which lacks either a verb or a subject. Such phrases always have two basic parts: object and preposition. Prepositions are mostly followed by objects.
Using option C will justify all the above rules. 'Through the jungle' is a prepositional phrase as 'through' is the preposition and 'jungle' is the object.
Options A, B and D are not prepositional phrases.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the option that replaces the phrase in quotes with the correct idiomatic expression.

The professor asked us to discuss the ''ups and downs'' of globalization.

A
odds and end

B
pros and cons

C
a piece of cake

D
disadvantages

Solution

'Ups and downs' is an idiomatic phrase which can be replaced by 'pros and cons'.
The meaning of this phrase is succession of both good and bad experiences. 'Pros and cons' means the advantages and disadvantages of something/someone.
'Odds and end' means miscellaneous articles thus it is wrong. 'A piece of cake' means something easily achieved thus it is also a wrong option. Option D is not an idiomatic phrase.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the option that replaces the phrase in quotes with the correct idiomatic expression.
If you think English grammar is a ''slice of cake'' just try it.

a walk in the woods

B
tough as a cookie

C
easy and stupid

D
piece of cake

Solution

The answer must be a correct idiomatic expression of the English language.
Option D is correct. 'Piece of cake' means 'very easy'. Thus, 'If you think English grammar is a piece of cake just try it' makes sense. So, it is correct.
Options A, B and C are incorrect. They are not correct idiomatic expressions of the English language.

1 / -0

Choose the correct meaning of the idiom/phrase:
To look up to

A
To watch carefully

B

C

An idiom is an expression that has a meaning different from the literal meaning of the words in that expression.
The given phrase is an idiomatic expression. It does not literally mean 'to look up to see someone'.
Option B: 'To look up to' means 'to admire or respect someone'.
The same is mentioned in option B, hence it is correct.

Option A: The phrase 'to watch carefully' does not express the meaning of the idiom.
Option C: 'To search for something' is the literal meaning, and does not provide the meaning of the idiom.
Option D: 'To be unsure' does not express the meaning of the idiom.
Hence, options A, C and D are wrong.
