Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

The million-dollar purchase of the small startup proved a bridge _____ far for the social media company, as the added revenue couldn't make up for the cost in the end.

A
very

B
so much

C
too

D
or

Solution

The phrase 'a bridge too far' means an act or plan whose ambition overreaches its capability, resulting in or potentially leading to difficulty or failure.
Hence, Option C is correct and the others cancel out.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A man's best friend is his _______.

A
shirt

B
bag

C
dog

D
house

E
money

Solution

Option C is the correct answer because the correct idiom is 'a man's best friend is his dog'. It refers to animals that are of use to human beings, mostly used to address dogs. The loyalty and valuable services that dogs provide to human beings make them worthy of being called man’s best friend.
Options A, B, D and E are incorrect because none of these would complete the idiom correctly.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

The test was ____ difficult for me. I'm worried.

A
so

B
too

C
much

D
very

Solution

We often confuse the two adverbs- 'very' and 'too'. Both these words sit before adjectives or adverbs and consequently modify them. However, “very” does not have a negative meaning, while “too” does. So, if I say the test was 'very' difficult, it can be assumed that the test was challenging, but I still managed to do it. In contrast, if I say, the test was 'too' difficult, it feels that I'm worried that I may fail. So, in this case Option B is correct and Option D is wrong.
Options A is incorrect as 'so' usually completes itself with a subordinate clause structure beginning with 'that'.
Option C is incorrect as 'much' doesn't fit into this context properly.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best suitable option:

I am a peg ______ low right now, so I appreciate you coming by to cheer me up.

A
very

B
such

C
too

D
much

Solution

The phrase 'a peg too low' means dejected or in low spirits. Here, the person feels depressed and so he acknowledges the presence of a company. So, option C is correct. The other options are incorrect as the other words do not construct the phrase properly.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best suitable option:

I'm very busy. I have my fingers in ____ many pies.

A
or

B
of

C
too

D
such

Solution

The phrase 'have one's fingers in too many pies' means to be involved in too many things. Thus, Option C is correct. The person is very busy because of a lot of commitments. The other options cancel out.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

I know only ________ well the kind of problem you are facing in this company.

A
too

B
very

C
much

D
more

Solution

The phrase 'only too well' means to know something very well, usually from an unpleasant experience. The other words do not construct the phrase correctly. So, Option A is correct and the others cancel out.
Question 7
1 / -0

In the following question, four alternatives are given for the idiom/phrase underlined. You are required to choose the correct meaning of the Idiom/phrase given.

By hook or by crook

A
Anyhow

B
Immediately

C
Subsequently

D
Eventually

Solution

By hook or by crook means by fair or foul means, that is, anyhow. Hence, Option A is correct. For example, we need to court that big investor by hook or by crook. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence incorrect.

Lost time is _______.

A
known by its tree

B
never found again

C
not so black as he painted

D
never to late to learn

E

Solution

Option B is the correct answer because the idiom 'lost time is never found again' means that the time that is wasted will never come back to us.
Options A, C, D and E are incorrect because none of these would complete the idiom correctly.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

The police arrived not a minute _____ soon, and the would-be burglar was apprehended before anything could be stolen.

A
too

B
so

C
or

D
such

Solution

The phrase 'not a minute too soon' means at the best possible moment, before it is too late. The police caught the thief before any damage could be done. Thus, Option A is correct and the other options cancel out.
