Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to complete the phrase:
Do good and ______.

A
sing

B
dance

C
tell everyone

D
forget

Solution

The phrase, 'Do good and forget it' means 'If you have done something right, you should not spend time congratulating yourself. You should rather forget it'. The reason is that one tends to expect something in return for the good that they do. If such a gesture is not reciprocated, one could get disappointed or resentful. Hence, it is better to do the right thing and forget it.
Given the above meaning, the word, 'forget' in option D is the correct answer.
The other words/ phrase given in options A, B and C do not complete the proverb. Hence, these options are incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Identify and replace the Adverb Phrase with an Adverb of the same meaning:

He drives like a maniac. [Basic]

A
He drives maniacally.

B
He drives ferociously.

C
He drives rabidly.

D
He drives madly.
Question 3
1 / -0

Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence :
problems | while | reading | face | you | can | many

A
You problems can face many reading while.

B
You can face many problems while reading.

C
While reading you can face problems many.

D
Many problems you can face reading while.

Solution

Normal sentences in active voice follow the pattern: Subject-verb-object. The subject and object of a sentence can be either a noun (problems) or pronoun (you). 'Can' is an auxiliary which is used along with the verb, 'face'. Hence, the two words appear together as a phrase i.e 'can face'. 'Many' is an adjective which modifies the noun, 'problems'. Hence, 'many problems' is an acceptable phrase. The words, 'while reading' is an adverb of time which modifies the verb, 'can face'. These adverbs are usually placed at the end of a sentence, or in the beginning.
The acceptable sequences are: (i) 'You can face many problems while reading' as given in option B; Or (ii) 'While reading, you can face many problems'.
Option B follows the 'subject-verb-object' pattern and conveys a meaningful sentence as given above. It is the correct answer.
Option A: This sequence is incorrect as the pronoun, 'you' is immediately followed by a noun 'problems' without any word in between. Hence, this option is grammatically incorrect.
Option C: The sequence, 'problems many' is grammatically incorrect as the adjective does not follow the noun it modifies. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D: The noun 'problems' is immediately followed by the pronoun (you) without any word in between. This is grammatically incorrect. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the best answer:
"I get a real kick out of reaching the school before anybody else" means _______________.

A
I get a kick on my backside on reaching the school

B
I get punishment for reaching the school before time

C
I very much enjoy reaching the school early

D
I receive a kick from those who reach the school late

Solution

The correct answer must have the same meaning as the quoted statement.
Option C is correct. 'Get a real kick' means 'enjoy'. Thus, option C has the same meaning as the given statement. Hence, it is the correct answer.
Options A, B and D are incorrect. They do not have the required meaning.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to complete the proverb:
The grass is always _______ on the other side.

A
dry

B
wet

C
shining

D
greener

Solution

The proverb, 'Grass is always greener on the other side' means : The thing other people have or their situations always look better than your own. But the fact is that the problems faced by those people are not always visible to us. Hence, the word, 'greener' given in option D complete the proverb.

The other words given in options A, B and C do not complete the proverb. Hence, these options are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable response:
Son: Mummy, I've been selected as the best student of the school.
Mummy: _________________.

A
Thank you. You are my star

B
Well done! Congrats my son

C
You deserve it

D
Both A and C

Solution

The word, 'congrats' gives (someone) one's good wishes when something special or pleasant has happened to them. It is an encouragement as well as an acknowledgement of the good work done by someone. It also expresses happiness on the other person's success. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
In option A, in the expression, 'You are my star', the mother conveys that her son is her prized possession. However, this expression does not acknowledge or appreciate the accomplishment of her son. It moves the conversation away from the son's success and talks about the relationship between the mother and her son. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option C: The expression, 'You deserve it' means 'you have earned the award because of the way your hard work/the qualities you have'. This is also an acknowledgement of the success of her son. However, it does not express the emotion of joy or happiness shared with the son, upon his success. Hence, this is not the most appropriate expression and option C is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect as both options A and C are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the best answer from the options given below:
You are Brian. You got a table reserved at a restaurant telephonically. On reaching the place you will say "____________"

A
You must have reserved a table in the name of Brian.

B
Good evening. My name is Brian. I have a reservation.

C
I had telephoned to reserve a table. Is it done?

D
Where is my reserved table?

Solution

When we reach a restaurant where we have made a reservation for a table telephonically, we would first greet the staff at the restaurant politely. Then we would introduce ourselves (because the people at the restaurant would not know us). Then we would state that we have a reservation. In option B, the speaker politely greets the person at the restaurant with the phrase, 'Good evening'. Then he introduces himself with the sentence, 'My name is Brian'. Then he states that he has a reservation. Option B communicates the best response.
In options A, C and D, the speaker does not greet the person at the restaurant or introduce himself first. Without the introduction, the listener may not know who the speaker is and may not be able to respond correctly. Hence, these are not appropriate answers and options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to complete the proverb :
The grass is always _______ on the other side.

A
dry

B
wet

C
shining

D
greener

Solution

The proverb, 'The grass is always greener on the other side' means: 'People are never satisfied with their own situation. They always think that other people's lives or situations are better than their own'. The word, 'greener' is the correct word which can complete the proverb. Hence, option D is correct.
Options A, B and C are incorrect as the words in these options cannot complete the given proverb.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the best answer from the options given below:
Ishu : "What are you upset about?"
Ashu : "About the things you said."
Ishu : "Is it something I should apologise for?"
Ashu : "____________"

A
It certainly is.

B
What else could it be?

C
Think of what you said.

D
I'll never talk to you.

Solution

Through the expression in option A, Ashu is clearly conveying her views. She thinks that Ishu has made a mistake and needs to apologise. Hence, option A is correct.
In options B and C, Ishu's question is not being clearly answered. In these two expressions, Ashu does not clearly communicate whether she thinks Ishu has to apologise or not. As the response is vague, it is not appropriate and options B and C are incorrect.
In option D, Ashu avoids answering Ishu's question. By saying, 'I'll never talk to you', Ashu is shutting doors for any further conversation. Hence, this is not an appropriate response. Option D is incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Correct option for blank (1) is ____.

A
done

B
held

C
given

D
made

Solution

From the options, the verb 'held' means 'to arrange and take part in'; it is relevant to the line "competition which was ___ last week" as a competition is arranged, taken part in (or held). Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Done' means to perform an action, for example, 'I have done all the necessary work.' It is not used for a competition, because a competition cannot be 'done'. Hence A is incorrect.
Option C: 'Given' means 'to transfer the possession (of something) to someone'. For example, 'The toys have been given to the children.' A competition cannot be given, it is not something that can be possessed or transferred. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Made' means 'something that is created, parts that are combined to make a whole'. For example, 'A cake is made with flour, butter, eggs and sugar.' A competition cannot be 'made', it is not the right word used. Hence D is incorrect.
