Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable phrase:
    Anne was upset because she didn't _________ in the race. She really wanted to win.
    Solution
    Answer : C

    Let's look at what the phrases in the sentence mean:
    • come last : to be at the end
    • go up : be built / suddenly burst into flames
    • come first : to be the first one
    • turn out : the way something happens

    Having a look at the question we understand that Anne is upset because she wanted to win but she did not, which implies that she was not to first one among the contestants to finish the race.

    Therefore, the appropriate phrase for use here is "come first".

    Thus correct complete sentence is:
    Anne was upset because she didn't  COME FIRST  in the race.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    'Was there anyone at the office yesterday?'
    "No, ___.'
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answer. It complements the number and tense of the verb in the question. The question includes was, a singular past tense, and that is what the answer should also contain.Options A,B and D have either the number or the tense wrong, which is not fit for the answer to the posed question. Therefore, Options A,B and D are all incorrect. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Terry is ________.
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer. It follows the correct explanation for the sentence making complete sense of it. The statements of options B,C and D are all incomplete and do not make complete sense when joined with the first part. Thus, Options B,C and D are all incorrect. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    I thought that he ____ something for me.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, 'thought' indicates that the tense of the sentence is past tense. Thus, the answer must also be in the past tense. Also, the purpose of 'he' is missing in the sentence and the answer must indicate that purpose. 
    Option A is correct. 'Was supposed to do' is in the past tense. Also, 'to do' indicates the purpose of 'he' by saying that his purpose was to do something. Thus, it is correct.
    Option B is incorrect. It indicates the purpose of 'he' but, 'is' indicates that it is in the present tense and not the past tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent.
    Option C is incorrect. It is in the past tense but, the purpose of 'he' is missing. 'was supposed something' does not make any sense and thus, the answer has to have a purpose included in it.
    Option D is incorrect. It is neither in the past tense nor does it have a purpose included. Thus, it will make the sentence grammatically flawed and is incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    I think ___.
    Solution
    Option B is the correct answer. The presence of the auxiliary be verb helps to hold the sentence together. Option A, starting with the question word if , seems to be in question of the accuracy of the thought mentioned in the first part of the sentence. The statements of options C,D and E lack the verb is, failing to connect the pronouns mentioned therein with the adjective fifty. Thus, Options A,C,D and E are all incorrect. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable clause:
    I'd do anything to get that contract, but it is highly unlikely __________________.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Which of the option(s) means the same as the given sentence?
    These new orders have nothing to do with us.
    Solution
    The given sentence means that the orders do not refer to the objects(us). In the phrases, the subject and the object remain the same. Thus, the rest of the phrase must mean 'do not refer to'.
    Option A is correct. Here 'do not apply to' means 'do not refer to'. Thus, it has the correct meaning and is the correct answer.
    Option B is incorrect. Here 'do not apply' means 'do not utilize'. Thus, it does not have the correct meaning and also, 'apply us' does not make any sense.
    Option C is incorrect. The sentence indicates that the orders do not apply along side the objects and not to the objects. Thus, it does not have the correct meaning.
    Option D is incorrect. The sentence means that the orders do not apply besides the objects and not to the objects. Thus, it does not have the required meaning.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Which of the option(s) means the same as the given sentence?
    I am trying to pull all these papers in this drawer.
    Solution
    The given sentence means that the subject is trying to force the papers inside the drawers. In the phrases, the subject and the object remain the same. Thus, the rest of the phrase must mean 'force the papers inside'.
    Option A is incorrect. 'fit these papers to' means 'force the papers in the direction of'. Thus, it does not have the correct meaning.
    Option B is incorrect. 'fit these papers in with' means 'force the papers in along with'. It indicates that the subject is trying to fit the drawer along with the papers
    Option C is incorrect. 'fit these papers by' means 'force the papers besides'. It indicates that the papers are being forced besides the drawer and not inside it. Thus, it is incorrect.
    Option D is correct. Here 'fit' indicates 'force' and 'into' means 'inside'. Thus, it indicates that the subject is trying to force the papers inside the drawer. Since it has the correct meaning, it is the correct answer.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    "Where shall we go for a meal?"
    "It's _______ you. It's your birthday. You choose."
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    When you ____ him tomorrow, you will think he is ten years older.
    Solution
    As we can see, the sentence is in future tense. Thus, the answer must also indicate future. The word 'tomorrow' already indicates a time in the future and so according to the rules of usage we have to use a verb in the present tense with it. Thus, the answer must be in the present tense.
    Option A is correct. 'see' is in the present tense. 'see him tomorrow' successfully indicates the future tense hence, maintaining the consistency of tense of the sentence.
    Option B is incorrect. 'will be' is in the future tense and the answer is required to be in the present tense. Also, the verb 'be' does not make sense in this context. 'be him tomorrow' does not make any sense.
    Option C is incorrect. 'would see' is used to indicate an event that has not happened yet at a time in the past. Thus, it is not in the present tense and cannot be the answer.
    Option D is incorrect. 'are going to seen' is a grammatically incorrect phrase. The verb in the phrase is in its past participle form whereas the rest of the phrase is in the present continuous form. Thus, the tense of the phrase itself is inconsistent.
