Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Identify the subject in the given sentence:

    The paper carried the news of the missing girl in the front page.
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answer. The sentence speaks about the paper, further established by the presence of the following verb carried, indicating that the former does the work in the sentence. The rest of the sentence contains of what is being said about the subject, i.e., it is the predicate. The words presented in options A,B and D are all parts of the predicate and, thus, cannot be the subject. Hence, Options A,B and D are all incorrect. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the object of the verb in the sentence:

    Selina hates biting her fingernails.
    Solution
    The object of the verb is a word or phrase that does not take the action, but is the recipient of it. The object usually answers the question what? or who?.
    Option C is correct as "biting her fingernails" is the object of the verb "hates" and answers the question Selina hates what?
    Option A is incorrect as "Selina" is the subject of the sentence.
    Option B is incorrect as "hates" is the verb or predicate in the sentence.
    Option D is incorrect since the answer is option C

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify the object of the verb in the sentence:

    The deer is busy eating the leaves.
    Solution
    The object is the thing or noun or phrase being acted upon.
    Option A is correct since "the leaves" is the recipient of the action. It is the direct object.
    Option B is incorrect since "eating" is the verb and not the object.
    Option C is incorrect. "The deer" is the subject that performs the action.
    Option D is incorrect as "busy" is an adjective and not the object.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Pick out the direct object of the verb in the given sentence:
    You promised me a candy.
    Solution
    Some verbs take two objects, a direct object and an indirect object. For example, in the sentence 'Shaima gave a pen', there is only one object 'pen'. In the sentence 'Shaima gave me a pen', (or 'Shaima gave a pen to me) there are two objects, 'me' and 'pen', where 'pen' is the direct and 'me' is the indirect object.
    In the given sentence, "a candy" is the direct object of the verb "promised", hence option D is correct. "You" is the subject of the verb "promised" and "me" is the indirect object. Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
    Note: The direct object answers the question 'what?' and the indirect object answers the question 'to who/whom?'
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the word/phrase that is the adverbial qualification/extension in the predicate:
    Rameswaram replied in English. The teachers were impressed.
    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, "in English" is an adverbial qualification as it modifies the verb "replied" (adverbs or adverb phrases modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs); hence option B is correct. "Rameswaram" is the subject to the verb "replied". "The teachers" is the subject to the verb "were impressed". Since these options do not modify any verb, they're not adverbial qualifications. Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the word/phrase that is the adverbial qualification/extension in the predicate:
    We all wanted to leave.
    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, "to leave" is an infinitive. Infinitives can modify verbs, so they can function as adverbs (adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs). Hence, it is the adverbial qualification to the verb "wanted" and option D is correct. "We" is the subject, "all" is a determiner and "wanted" is the verb itself that requires an adverbial qualification. Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the object in the given sentence:
    The plumber fixed the leaking pipe.
    Solution
    The object is the person or thing that receives the action in a sentence. In the given sentence, "the leaking pipe" is the recipient of the action "fixed", hence it is the object and option D is correct. "The plumber" is the subject and "fixed" is the verb, hence options A and B are incorrect.
    Option C is incorrect because it is a part of the object 'leaking pipe' and not the whole. ('Leaking' is a participle that modifies the noun 'pipe'.)
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Which word/phrase is the subjective complement in the following statement?
    The baby is crying.
    Solution
    A subject complement is an adjective, a noun or any phrase that follows a linking verb and gives more information about the subject.
    In the given sentence, "crying" is a gerund which acts as a subject complement to the noun in the subject "baby", hence option C is correct. "The baby" is the subject and "is" is the linking verb, they cannot act as subject complements. Hence options A and B are incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the correct option lies in C.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Pick out the direct object of the verb in the given sentence:
    The boss gave these instructions to everyone.
    Solution
    Some verbs take two objects, a direct object and an indirect object. For example, in the sentence 'Shaima gave a pen', there is only one object 'pen'. In the sentence 'Shaima gave me a pen', (or 'Shaima gave a pen to me) there are two objects, 'me' and 'pen', where 'pen' is the direct object and 'me' is the indirect object.
    In the given sentence, "these instructions" is the direct recipient of the verb "gave" and "to everyone" is the indirect recipient, hence option C is correct and D is incorrect. "The boss" is the subject and "gave" is the verb, hence options A and B are incorrect.
    Note: The direct object answers the question 'what?' and the indirect object answers the question 'to who/whom?'
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the word/phrase that is the adverbial qualification/extension in the predicate:
    In the ocean there are thousands of undiscovered species.
    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 adverb phrase "In the ocean" modifies the verb "are", it contains the adverb of place. Hence it is the adverbial qualification and option A is correct. "There" is normally used as an adverb. However, when it is placed as a subject it functions as an introductory subject (like in this sentence). Hence option B is incorrect. "Are" is the verb itself, hence option C is incorrect. "Thousands of undiscovered species" is a noun phrase that performs as the main subject, hence option D is incorrect.
