Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Imperative sentences usually end with:

A
a period only

B
a question mark only

C
an exclamation point only

D
Either a period or an exclamation point
Question 2
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with a suitable option:

Mr. Ghosh is very happy ______ his son's excellent result.

A
for seeing

B
to see

C
by seeing

D
sees

Solution

In the given sentence, the main verb is: 'is'. The word, 'happy' is an adjective. The phrase 'to+verb' (also called infinitive) after an adjective is used to present the reason for something. The phrase, 'to see his son's excellent result' gives the reason for the phrase, "Mr. Ghosh is happy'. The correct sentence is: 'Mr. Ghosh is very happy to see his son's excellent result'. Option B is correct.
Option A: The preposition phrase, 'for+verb-ing' can modify a noun or a verb. For example: 'Mr. Ghosh's son got praised for working very hard'. Here, the phrase 'for working very hard' modifies the verb 'praised'. The phrase, 'for seeing' cannot be used to modify an adjective ('happy' in the given sentence). Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C: The phrase 'by+verb-ing' is used to indicate how a certain thing happened/ was achieved. For example: Mr. Ghosh's son got excellent results by working hard'. Here, the phrase 'by working very hard' modifies the verb 'got excellent results'. In the given sentence, the phrase, 'by seeing' cannot be used to modify an adjective ('happy' in the given sentence). Hence, option C is incorrect.
Option D: The sentence, 'Mr. Ghosh is very happy sees his son's excellent result' is grammatically incorrect. The verb 'sees' cannot be used immediately after the clause, 'Mr. Ghosh is very happy'. It needs to be connected with a conjunction/ preposition/adverb. For example: 'Mr. Ghosh is very happy after he sees his son's excellent result' is a correct sentence. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Pick out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
Some people enjoy drama.

A
Some

B
Some people

C
enjoy

D
Some drama

Solution

A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option B)some people is correct as people is a noun here and some functions as a pre-modifier. The other options are wrong as a noun phrase cannot have a subject or a verb and must include a noun. The correct answer is B)some people.
Question 4
1 / -0

Identify the subject in the given sentence:
The book lay abandoned in the corner.

A
The book

B
lay

C
corner

D
the

Solution

The book is being talked about in the given sentence. The following verb lay establishes the fact that it does the work in the sentence. Thus, Option A is indeed the subject. The rest of the sentence is said regarding the subject, i.e., it is the predicate. The words given in options B,C and D are all in the predicate and, thus, cannot be the subject. Hence, Options B,C and D are all incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Identify the subject in the given sentence:
The boy from the next block was the only one present today at the meeting.

A
The boy

B
next block

C
today

D
meeting

Solution

Option A is the correct answer. The boy is the one being talked about in the given sentence. Option B speaks about the location the boy is from, which is still about the boy. Option C is an adverb of time and, thus, cannot be a subject. Option D is the object to the preposition at. Therefore, the boy is indeed the subject of the given sentence.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the word/phrase that is the adverbial qualification/extension in the predicate:
She did her work poorly.

A
She

B
did

C
her work

D
poorly

Solution

The part of a sentence excluding the subject is the predicate. The verb in the predicate is often modified by an adverb or its equivalent, known as the adverbial qualification in that predicate. In the given sentence, the verb "did" is modified by the adverb of manner "poorly", hence it is the adverbial qualification to the verb in this sentence and option D is correct. "She" is the subject of the verb "did" and "her work" is the object of the verb. None of them modify the verb, hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Identify the subject in the given sentence:
The moon is looking beautiful tonight.

A
beautiful

B
tonight

C
the moon

D
looking

Solution

The moon is being talked about in the sentence. By the placement of the verb is, we can understand that the moon is doing the work in the sentence and, hence, is the subject. Option A is an adjective used to describe the subject, the moon. Option B is an adverb of time modifying the timing of the events taking place in the sentence. Option D is the main verb of the sentence indicating the action of the moon. Thus, Option C is the correct answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Identify the object of the verb in the predicate:

The crowd laughed at the officers.

A
The crowd

B
laughed

C
the officers

D
None of these

Solution

Option C is correct. The object is the thing being acted upon. Option C answers the question: The crowd laughed at whom?. Thus, C is the right answer.
Option A is incorrect as "The crowd" is the subject that performs the action.
Option B is incorrect since "laughed" is the verb.
Option D is incorrect since the answer is option C.
Question 9
1 / -0

Pick out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
I saw the little boy crying.

A
I

B
I saw

C
the little boy

D
crying

Solution

A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option C)the little boy is correct as boy is a noun here which has an adjective (little) as a pre modifier with the determiner the. The other options are wrong as I, I saw, and crying is a subject, subject + verb, and a gerund respectively which doesn't make a noun phrase. The correct answer is C)the little boy.
Question 10
1 / -0

Identify the object of the verb in the sentence:

Boarding a ship requires both dexterity and bravery.

A
dexterity, bravery

B
Boarding a ship

C
requires

D
None of the above

Solution

The object is the word or phrase which is the recipient of the action of the transitive verb. It does not take the action. It usually answers the questions what? and who?.
Option A is correct. The words "dexterity" and "bravery" answers the question Boarding a ship requires what? Thus option A is the object of the verb "requires".
Option B is incorrect. "Boarding a shop" is the subject and not the object of the verb. It is the subject which requires or takes the action.
Option C is incorrect as "requires" is the action or verb in the sentence.
Option D is incorrect as the correct option is A.
