Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
He's taking _________ some chocolates.

A
her

B
to her

C
hers

D
she

Solution

The direct object in the given sentence is 'some chocolates'. We need to fill in the blank with an indirect object. Indirect objects answer the question 'to whom?' or 'for whom?'.
Option A: 'Her' is an object pronoun. It functions as the recipient of the direct object 'chocolates'. Hence this option is correct.
Option B: 'To her' is used when the indirect object is placed after the direct. (He's taking some chocolates for her') Also, 'to her' isn't relevant here as it does not answer the required question 'for whom?'.
Hence option B is incorrect.
Option C: 'Hers' is a possessive pronoun and expresses belongingness of something. 'This purse is hers.' The given sentence does not express possession, hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'She' is a subject pronoun. It is used when the pronoun performs an action. But here, it receives the action. Hence D is incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
He drove so fast _______________________.

A
when he was caught by the police

B
as his car had broken down

C
that the passengers became frightened

D
than most men had done

Solution

In the given sentence, 'drove' indicates that the tense of the sentence is simple past tense and so the answer must also be in the simple past tense. The sentence indicates that the subject drove very fast and the answer must support that fact.
Option A is incorrect. The phrase indicates that the subject was caught by the police. 'When' indicates that the subject was driving fast at the time the police had already caught him. This does not make sense. If the police had already caught him the subject would not have been able to drive. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. The phrase indicates that the subject was driving car because his car had broken down. This does not make sense as the subject cannot drive if his car is not functioning. Also, it is in the past perfect tense and not the simple past tense.
Option C is correct. The sentence indicates that because the subject was driving very fast, the passengers became frightened. This makes complete sense and also, it is in the simple past tense. Thus, it is correct.
Option D is incorrect. The phrase, when put into the blank, makes some sense but, it is in the past perfect tense and not the simple past tense. Thus, using it will make the tense of the sentence inconsistent.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
Don't touch that hot stove. __________________.

A
It'll get burned

B
It'll be burned

C
You'll burn it

D
You'll get burned

Solution

In the given sentence, the subject is being instructed not to touch the hot stove. The second sentence(the answer) provides a reason for this instruction. It can be concluded that the reason is that the stove is hot and touching it will hurt the subject. Thus, the answer must indicate this.
Option A is incorrect. 'It'll get burned' indicates that if the subject touches the stove, the stove will get burned. This does not make any sense as the stove will do the burning and not the subject.
Option B is incorrect. 'It'll be burned' indicates that if the subject touches the stove, the stove will get burned. This does not make any sense as the stove will do the burning and not the subject.
Option C is incorrect. 'You'll burn it' indicates that by touching the stove, the subject will burn it. This makes no sense as the burning will be done by the stove and not the subject.
Option D is correct. 'You'll get burned' indicates that on touching the stove the subject will get burned by the stove. It has the required meaning and also makes sense. Thus, it is correct.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
Although Ali is quite short, _____________ reach the apples on the tree.

A
he can also

B
he just can't

C
he's tall enough to

D
he's too short to

Solution

In the first clause, the word 'although' is a conjunction of contrast. This means that the second clause contradicts the first clause. Here, first clause says that Ali is short so to contradict it, the second clause must say that he is tall and can reach the apples.
Option A is incorrect. 'he can also' does mean that Ali can reach the apples but, 'also' indicates that there is another subject in the sentence who can reach the apples. Since the sentence does not contain any such object, the presence of 'also' is not justified. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. 'he just can't' indicates that Ali simply cannot reach the apples. Here, the second clause agrees with the first and does not contradict it. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option C is correct. 'he's tall enough to' indicates that in spite of being short, Ali can reach the apples. Thus, it contradicts the first clause and says that Ali can reach the apples. Thus, it is correct.
Option D is incorrect. 'he's too short to' indicates that Ali is very short and cannot reach the apples. Thus, it agrees with the first clause and does not contradict it. Therefore, it is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
She came ___________ because her car had broken down.

A
to walk

B
walk

C
by foot

D
on foot

Solution

Option A: The phrase 'to walk' expresses a purpose. The given sentence does not require a purpose. The phrase does not complete the sentence in meaning. Hence option A is incorrect.
Option B: The verb 'walk' does not express any action in the given sentence. It needs to be conjugated in relation to the subject 'She'. Hence B is incorrect.
Options C and D: We use the preposition 'by' (by foot) when referring to a mode of travel 'by plane', 'by car', etc.
But we talk about going somewhere walking, we use the expression 'on foot' and not 'by foot'. It's a set phrase and is used most commonly. 'by foot' sounds odd when used.
Hence option C is incorrect and D is the correct option.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
A: What are you boiling that water for?
B: ____________________________.

A
To make tea

B
For make tea

C
Making tea

D
Because of making tea

Solution

The sentence indicates that the subject is boiling water for the purpose of making tea. Thus, the answer must indicate this purpose. The preposition in the answer must thus, indicate a purpose and the verb must agree with that preposition.
Option A is correct. Here, 'to' indicates purpose. 'Make' agrees with 'to'. The phrase 'to make tea' as a whole correctly answers the question asked by 'A'. Thus, it is correct.
Option B is incorrect. 'For' indicates purpose but, the verb 'make' does not agree with it. 'For' is used along with verbs in their continuous form(For making tea). Thus, for make tea is grammatically flawed.
Option C is incorrect. 'Making tea' does not have a preposition to indicate purpose. It is simply a statement and does not appropriately answer the question.
Option D is incorrect. Here, 'because' indicates reason and not 'purpose'. Thus, it does not convey the correct meaning and is incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
Henry remembered Mary's birthday and _______.

A
her a gift sent

B
a gift to her sent

C
to her a gift sent

D
sent her a gift

Solution

In the given sentence, the second clause is missing and we have to insert a grammatically correct clause in the blank.
Option A is incorrect. In the given option, the verb 'sent' is placed after the object 'gift'. A verb must always come before the object and thus, the option is grammatically incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. In the given option, the verb 'sent' is placed after the object 'gift'. A verb must always come before the object and thus, the option is grammatically incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. Although the verb here is placed after the object, this phrase is grammatically correct in the poetic sense. But it cannot be used in normal sentences as it is correct only for poems. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option D is correct. Here, the verb is placed correctly and the phrase is grammatically correct. It indicates that Henry sent a gift to the subject on her birthday. Thus, it is correct.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
I don't know where ______________.

A
is the post-office

B
has the post-office

C
the post-office

D
the post-office is

Solution

The given sentence is made up of two clauses, "I don't know" and the second of which we have to fill in.
'Where' is a relative adverb that introduces a clause.
Option D: This option contains a clause, where 'the post-office' is the subject and 'is' is the verb. It completes the sentence in meaning and structure, hence D is correct.
Option A: 'Is the post-office' is in interrogative form. But the word 'where' is not a question word, but a relative adverb here. Hence A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Has the post-office' forms an incomplete sentence, because here 'has' functions as a helping verb. There is no main verb in the clause. Hence B is incorrect.
Option C: This option does not contain a clause. The sentence hence formed is incomplete. So option C is incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
He has been very lonely since ___________.

A
many years

B
long time

C
his dead wife

D
his wife died

Solution

In the given sentence, 'since' indicates a point in the past from which 'He' has been lonely till now. Thus, we can conclude that something happened at a point in the past which made him lonely. Thus, the answer must contain a verb to indicate some thing happened and it mus be in the past tense to indicate that it happened in the past.
Option A is incorrect. 'many years' does not have a verb or a particular tense. Also, it does not indicate that something happened and that event made him lonely. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. 'long time' indicates a time period and does not indicate a point in time in the past. Also, it does not indicate that something happened and that event made the subject lonely. Thus, it is incorrect
Option C is incorrect. 'his dead wife' does not have a verb to indicate something happened. Thus, It does not justify why the subject is lonely and is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect. 'his wife died' indicates that the subject's wife died at a time in the past and from that point he has been lonely. Thus, it indicates that something happened and because of that the subject became lonely. Thus, it is correct.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
A: What is your new partner like?
B: She ____________________.

A
likes football

B
is like any other partner

C
likes almost nothing

D
is tall and slender

Solution

Person A asks person B about the traits or qualities of the other person (girl). 'Like' refers to the characteristics.
Option D: The adjectives 'tall' and 'slender' describe the girl's traits. This option completes the answer by person B most suitably. Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'Likes football' answers a very specific question, like 'What does she like?'.
Option B: This answer is rather ambiguous. It does not form a complete meaning. The question asks to describe the person, and this option does not give an answer to that.
Option C: This option too, does not answer what 'the new partner' is like'. Rather, it answers what 'the new partner likes' (here, doesn't like).
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
