Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the most appropriate option to replace the underlined phrase.
    I got so scared when Tina had a blackout! I immediately called the ambulance.
    Solution
    The underlined sentence means 'Tina lost consciousness'. Thus, the answer must have a similar meaning.
    Option A is correct. It means 'Tina lost consciousness'. Thus, it has the required meaning and is the correct answer.
    Option B is incorrect. It means 'Tina's electricity went out'. Thus it does not have the required meaning.
    Option C is incorrect. It also does not have the required meaning as Tina did not switch off the lights.
    Option D is incorrect. It does not have the required meaning. Thus, it is incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Arrange the jumbled words appropriately to form a meaningful sentence.
    Vinay $$|$$ the postmaster $$|$$ for $$|$$ some $$|$$ money $$|$$ collected.
    Solution
    The structure of an assertive sentence should be article+ subject + verb+ adjective+ direct object+prepositional phrase+ indirect phrase. Hence Option D, that is, "The postmaster collected some money for Vinay." is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the word(s) which has the same meaning and can be used in the same context as the italicized word/phrase in both the given sentences.
    I. The document was declared void by the court.
    II. I felt pity for the sickly person lying on the pavement.
    Solution
    The best fit for both the sentences is Option C, 'Invalid'. We use invalid if we want to say that any document is invalid i.e. legally not acceptable, like in sentence 1. We also use invalid for a person who has been sick for a long time and unable to take care of himself , the context of the second sentence. Option A 'Useless' means which is of no use. Option B 'Defective' means faulty. Both of these options A and B cannot be used for the second sentence. Option D 'destitute' means extremely poor or penniless person . Option 'feeble' means weak or delicate. These two options, D and E, do not fit in sentence 1. Thus, best fit for both sentences is 'Invalid', Option C. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate word for the given descriptions or underlined words:
    The education in gurukul comprised mainly of telling the stories of old time Gods or heroes. 
    Solution
    'Ode' is a lyrical poem written in varied or irregular metre. 'Epic' is a long poem, typically one derived from ancient oral tradition, narrating the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures or the past history of a nation.
    As the underlined phrase refers to stories, options A and B (which are words describing poems) are incorrect. 
    'Allegory' is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one. The given sentence talks about the stories of old-time Gods or heroes. It doesn't talk about moral or political meanings hidden in the stories. Hence, option C is incorrect. 
    'Legend' is a very old story or set of stories from ancient times, or fictional stories, that people tell about a famous event or person. This word can most appropriately describe the underlined phrase as it refers to a story about ancient Gods or heroes. Hence, option D is correct.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using a meaningful phrase:
    Now that you have arrived here, I hope things will _____. 
    Solution
    The phrase, 'work out' means 'resolve'. As this phrase conveys a clear meaning when used in the given sentence, option A is correct. 

    The phrase, 'work in' means 'to try to include something'. Eg: I have worked in a few tips in the new recipe that I have written down.
    The phrase, 'work on' means 'to spend time producing or improving something'. Eg: Since he has started working on an urgent project, he does not have time to attend any party.
    The phrase, 'work up' means 'to develop or improve something with some effort'. Eg: As I had a heavy breakfast, I can't work up any appetite for lunch.
    Given the meanings as above, the phrases given in options B, C and D cannot be used in the blank to form a meaningful sentence. Hence, these options are incorrect. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Given below is a foreign language phrase that is commonly used. Choose the correct meaning of the phrase
    Vice versa
    Solution
    The Latin phrase Vice versa  means reverse or "the other way around". For example, I don't like Bill, and vice versa. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not express the meaning, hence, incorrect. 

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate word for the given description:
    A public sale in which articles are sold to highest bidders.
    Solution
    'Sale' refers to the exchange of a commodity for money. It refers to the action of selling something. A sale may happen inside an outlet. It may happen one-to-one or it could be a public sale. The word, 'sale' by itself does not mean the same as the description given. Hence, option A is incorrect. 
    'Auction' refers to a public sale in which goods or property are sold to the highest bidder. Hence, option B is correct. 
    'Wholesale' refers to the business of selling of goods in large quantities and at low prices, typically to be sold on by retailers at a profit. 'Marketing' refers to the action of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising. Given the above meanings, options C and D are incorrect. 
  • Question 8

    Solution
    Option (a) will be forced to lay off is the correct answer in the given context while other options do not follow the correct agreement of tense.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Complete the following proverb:
    Don't put all your eggs in one_____.
    Solution
    The proverb, 'Don't put all your eggs in one basket' means: One should not concentrate all efforts and resources in one area as one could lose everything. The idea is to have more than one option or avenue open, so that even if one fails, the other could succeed. 
    The correct word to fill the given blank is 'basket'. Hence option C is correct and the other options are incorrect.
