Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the best answer from the options given.
    I'm afraid I won't be able to come to office tomorrow.
    Solution
    Here, we have to find the best response to the given sentence. 'I'm afraid I won't be able to come to office tomorrow' - here, 'I'm afraid' means 'I'm sorry/I regret'. What would you say if someone isn't going to come to office the coming day? Let's have a look at the options:
    Option A - In case of absence, the bosses are usually not happy with the employees. 'Your boss will be pleased with you' is a not an appropriate response. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Still we will wait for you there' is logically incorrect, because, if a person has already conveyed that he/she isn't going to come, then waiting for them is pointless. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - As options A and C are incorrect, we can't say that 'all of these' are correct. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option B - Yes, the correct and a polite response would be - 'Oh! Well, never mind. We'll see you the day after tomorrow.' Hence, option B is the correct answer.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the attribute of the subject from the given sentence:
    The strong winds pulled the palace gates down.
    Solution

    The word or phrase which qualifies the subject is called its attribute. Here "strong" qualifies "winds", hence Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not qualify the subject, hence incorrect. 

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate word which can substitute the given description: 
    Study of the influence of stars on human affairs.
    Solution
    The word, 'astrology' means 'the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world'. Hence, option C is correct. 
    The word, 'astronomy' means 'the branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole'. The word, 'zoology' means 'the scientific study of the behaviour, structure and distribution of animals'. The word, 'biology' means 'the study of living organisms'.
    As the meanings of the above three words, do not mean the same as 'study of the influence of stars on human affairs', options A, B and D are incorrect. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks from the given alternatives.
    __________ you shout at your children, __________ they will ignore it.
    Solution
    Choice B is correct as it is the correct comparitive phrase for the sentence. Choice A is wrong as it has no article at the beginning or in the middle to show the comparison. Choice C is wrong as there cannot be one comparitive and one superlative degrees of comparison. Choice D is wrong as the superlative form is wrong.  
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Identify the verb and its object in the sentence:
    The children played soccer.
    Solution
    The object of the verb is that which receives the action or the verb itself. Here, "soccer" receives the action "played", hence Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct option to complete the phrase:
    Might is ______ .
    Solution
    The phrase, 'Might is right' means 'those who are powerful can do what they wish unchallenged, even if their action is in fact unjustified'. Hence, the word, 'might' in option D is the correct answer.  The other word, 'tight', 'quiet', 'right' are not the correct verbs to complete the phrase. Hence, options A. B and C are incorrect. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct option to complete the proverb:
    Prevention is better than ________.
    Solution
    The proverb, 'Prevention is better than cure' means: 'It is easier to stop something happening in the first place than to repair the damage after it has happened'. Hence, the word which can complete the proverb meaningfully is 'cure' given in option C.
    The other words, 'invention', 'imagination' and 'creation' do not complete the proverb meaningfully. Hence, options A. B and D are incorrect. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate word which can substitute the given description: 
    One who loves one's country.
    Solution
    The word, 'patriot' refers to 'a person who vigorously loves and supports his country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors'. Hence, option C is correct. 
    The person, 'revolutionary' means 'a person who advocates or engages in political revolution'. The word, 'traitor' means 'a person who betrays someone or something, such as a friend, cause, or principle'. The word, 'ambassador' means 'an accredited diplomat sent by a country as its permanent representative in a foreign country'. 
    As the meanings of the words, 'revolutionary', 'traitor' and 'ambassador' do not mean 'persons living at the same time', options A, B and D are incorrect. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the option which best expresses the meaning of the given phrase.
    At large
    Solution
    Choice C is correct as it means 'free' as in 'The murderer was at large'. Choice A is wrong as it does mean 'very famous' Choice B is wrong as it does not mean 'not famous' Choice D is wrong as it does not mean 'very far'.  
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Identify and replace the Adverb in the following sentence with an Adverb Phrase of the same meaning:

    He wore the golden crown proudly. [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. Not only has the adverb "proudly" been replaced by an adverb phrase, it also retains the meaning of the original adverb. The adverb has been replaced by the adverb phrase "with pride".
    Option A is incorrect. While the adverb "proudly" has been replaced by the adverb phrase "with pride", the adjective "golden" has been unnecessarily changed to "made of gold". The question asks only for the adverb to be replaced.
    Option C is incorrect as it is not the adverb that has been replaced by an adverb phrase, but the adjective "golden" has been replaced by an adjective phrase.
    Option D is incorrect as the answer lies in B.
