Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the word closest in meaning to the underlined word/phrase.
Her haughty behaviour.

A
frantic

B
animated

C
arrogant

D
soothing

Solution

'Haughty' means unfriendly and seeming to consider yourself better than other people. E.g. She has a rather haughty manner. 'Frantic' means anxious and worried. 'Animated' means full of interest and energy. 'Arrogant' means unpleasantly proud and behaving as if you are more important than other people. 'Soothing' means making you feel calm.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank by selecting appropriate phrasal verb from the given options:
I was _________ in Mumbai and later I settled in Delhi.

A
Broke up

B
Brought up

C
Broke down

D
Brought down

Solution

The phrase "bring up" [often passive] means to look after a child until he or she becomes an adult. The speaker was looked after in Mumbai. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express this meaning, hence incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence.
It's so late in the night and I'm trying to sleep. You have to ______ the radio a little.

A
turn up

B
turn down

C
turn over

D
turn off

Solution

The phrasal verb, 'turn down' when used along with the words, 'radio' or 'television' or 'heater' means 'reduce the amount of sound or heat being produced, by adjusting the control'. The phrasal verb, 'turn up', means the opposite of the word, 'turn down' when used along with the word, 'radio'.
When we read the second sentence along with the first sentence, we understand that it is late in the night and the speaker is trying to sleep. However, the sound arising from the radio is disturbing him. Hence, the appropriate phrase to be used is 'turn down' i.e reduce the volume of the radio. The phrase 'turn up' is not appropriate because increasing the volume of the radio would disturb the speaker further. Hence, option B is correct and option A is incorrect.
The phrasal verb 'turn over' means 'hand something to someone'. Eg: The witness turned over the physical evidence of the theft to the police'. Given this meaning, option C is incorrect.
The phrasal verb 'turn off' means 'switch off'. While switching off the radio would give relief to the speaker and allow him to sleep, this is not appropriate in the given sentence. This is because, the phrase, 'a little' has been used. A radio can either be 'switched off' or 'switched on'. It is not possible to switch off a radio 'a little'. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the word closest in meaning to the underlined phrase.
The study of heavenly bodies.

A
anthology

B
anthropology

C

D

Solution

The study of heavenly bodies is termed as astronomy and option C is the correct answer.

An anthology is a published collection of poems or other pieces of writing, anthropology is the discipline studying various aspects of human beings and aetiology refers to the cause or a set of causes leading to a disease or a condition. Thus options A, B and D are evidently incorrect answers.
