Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Complete the given sentence with the option/s given below:
    A Declarative/Assertive Sentence                     .
    Solution
    Sentences are mainly divided into four types: declarative, imperative, interrogative and exclamatory. Declarative sentences merely declare or state something, imperative sentences express a command, an order or a request, interrogative sentences intend to ask a question and exclamatory sentences display extreme or sudden emotion. Usually, declarative sentences end with a full stop, hence option A is correct. In most cases, interrogative sentences end with a question mark and exclamatory sentences end with an exclamation mark, hence options B and C are incorrect. No type of sentence can end with a comma, because a comma expresses a pause between a sentence, it does not end a sentence, hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the option which is NOT the object of the verb in the given sentence:
    We ate steak, mashed potatoes and mushroom mousse for lunch.
    Solution
    The object is the person or thing that receives the action in a sentence. In the given sentence, the steak, the mashed potatoes and mushroom mousse are all recipients of the verb "ate", hence options B, C and D are incorrect. We need to choose the option that does not contain the object, "ate" is a verb hence the correct option is A.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Replace the adverb with an adverb phrase of the same meaning:
    You must temper the chocolate carefully. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb. Here, the adverb is "carefully".
    Option C is correct. The adverb has been replaced can be replaced by the adverb phrase "with care". It retains the meaning of the original sentence and is therefore correct.
    Option A is incorrect. There is not adverb phrase in the sentence. Instead, the adverb "carefully" has been changed into an adjective "careful" that modifies the noun "you".
    Option B is incorrect. While the adverb has been replaced by an adverb phrase, "with great caution", the meaning of the sentence has been changed. The word "caution" is no the same as "carefully".
    Option D is incorrect for the same reason as B. The adverb has been replaced by an adverb phrase of a meaning different from the original adverb. "Great efficiency" does not mean the same as "carefully". 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose which of these is true:
    Solution
    A sentence is made up of a subject and a verb, these are crucial to a sentence. Without these, the group of words cannot be called a sentence. For example, 'The moon rises', where the subject is the moon and rises is the verb. Hence, a sentence expresses a complete thought and option B is correct.
    Option A describes a dependent clauses, that requires a main clause for its complete meaning, it isn't a sentence so A is incorrect.
    Option C describes a simple sentence, which contains one subject, but a sentence in general can also refer to the compound or complex sentences which contain two or more subjects. Hence option C is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect because a sentence can be complete without the object, when the verb present is not a linking verb. Generally speaking, a sentence can be complete without the object, hence D is also incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Which of these is NOT the function of a sentence?
    Solution
    We have to choose the option that does not describe the function of a sentence.
    Interrogative sentences ask a question, 'What are you doing right now?'
    Exclamatory sentences exclaim or express sudden emotions like "Hurrah! We won.
    Declarative or Assertive sentences declare or state something, 'I received a job today.'
    Hence these are the functions of a sentence, and B, C and D are incorrect.
    We choose option A because this is not the function of a sentence. Conjunctions join two or more sentences, a sentence itself cannot do that.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify and replace the Adverb Phrase with an Adverb of the same meaning:

    They arrived at that moment. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb. Thus, the adverb phrase can be rewritten with an adverb.
    Option D is correct. The adverb phrase "at that moment" has been replaced by an adverb "then" that not only modifies the verb "arrived", but also retains the meaning of the original sentence. "At that moment" can be rewritten as "then".
    Option A is incorrect. While "now" is an adverb that replaces the adverb phrase. it does not mean the same as "at that moment". "Now" is a replacement of the adverb phrase "at this moment".
    Option B is incorrect for the same reason as A. The adverb "there" does not mean the same thing as "at that moment". The former refers to place while the latter refers to the time of the action.
    Option C is incorrect for the same reason as A. While "late" is an adverb, it does not mean the same as "at that moment". The phrase refers to a specific point in time while "late" does not.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Identify the sentence(s) containing an adverb phrase: [Intermediate]
    Solution
    An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb.
    Option B is correct. The phrase "at the top of his voice" tells us the degree to Zaine shouted. In other words, it modifies the verb "shouted" and thus, is an adverb phrase.
    Option A is incorrect. There is no phrase that modifies the verb. Instead, the sentence contains a noun phrase that acts as the object: Standing about in a cold wet wind. It answers the question "did what"?
    Option C is incorrect. It does not contain any phrase that modifies the verb "hope". Instead, the sentence contains an infinitive phrase "to win the approval of her mother" which acts as a noun as it is the direct object of the verb "hopes".
    Option D is incorrect. The sentence does not contain an adverb phrase, but a prepositional phrase, "in the vegetable bin" which tells us which sweet potatoes are green with mold.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify and replace the Adverb Phrase with an Adverb of the same meaning:

    The victim was murdered in a brutal manner. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb. Thus, the adverb phrase can be rewritten with an adverb. Here the adverb phrase is "in a brutal manner".
    Option A is correct. Not only is the adverb phrase replaced by the adverb "brutally", it also retains the meaning of the original sentence.
    Option B, C and D are incorrect. While the adverb phrase has been replaced by adverbs, the meaning of the adverbs - "violently", "quietly", "cruelly" - are not the same as the original phrase "brutal manner".

    Correct option for blank (2)
    Solution
    Option C: The noun 'prize' refers to 'a thing given as a reward to the winner of a competition'; the line "Diamond Membership to the British Council Library for 12 months" refers to a prize, which would be won by the winner (I have won the... competition). Hence C is the most suitable option.
    Options A and B: 'gift' and 'present' are both synonyms. They refer to 'a thing given to someone willingly, without any payment'. A gift or a present is something that you receive for your birthday, or any special occasion. It is not what you receive in a competition. Hence options A and B are incorrect.
    Option D: 'treasure' refers to 'a quantity of gems or valuable metals like gold', it does not refer to 'a thing that is won in a competition'. Hence D is incorrect.
