  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A: Did you meet _____ at the party?
    B: Yes, I met _____ who knows you!
    Solution
    Out of the four options, option C is correct. 'Anybody' is used to describe anyone. Other options are not fit per rules. Thus, C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    The ____ names are David and Samuel.
    Solution
    The men's names are David and Samuel .
    Men is a noun which doesn't state any ownership hence it is not the correct option .
    Men's is the correct option as the apostrophe is stating ownership . Men being a irregular plural noun form in order to have a plural possessive noun  we have added apostrophe s . That results in men's  which is the correct option.
    Man's isn't the right option as it states possession of a singular noun but in the given sentence there are two nouns.
    Their is a pronoun hence it cannot state any possession. So, it is not the correct option. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    I _____ to the news on the radio when the phone _____ .
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    A: Did you buy _____ at the shops?
    B: No, _____ . I didn't have any money.
    Solution
    The first sentence shows a genitive case is when we add apostrophe S (’s) to show possession, that something belongs to another or a type of relationship between things. In the second sentence, it is inferred that the person involved doesn't have any money. Therefore using logic we understand it's not possible for him to buy anything. Thus 'nothing' is the correct option that is the option C. Option B is ruled out as it is not possible for someone to buy something without possessing any money. Option A is ruled out as anything means at least one or more but the person  B  it is referred that he doesn't have any money. Similarly, Option D is discarded because it refers to one or more persons.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    I lost my glasses. I looked _____ , but I couldn't find them.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the sentence that has been punctuated correctly. 
    Solution
    According to general rule, the possessive of a singular noun (here, 'country' and 'Bristol') is formed by adding an apostrophe (') and s. Only an apostrophe is used for nouns that are singular but have a final word in plural and end with an s. 
    Thus, by applying the rules of using apostrophe and eliminating the incorrect options, the correct answer must be Option C.


  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Select the correctly punctuated sentence.
    Solution
    Apostrophe is correctly used as Italy's in option C since it is used here to show possession. Comma indicates a smaller pause. It is used to separate words or word groups in a simple series. In the given sentence, four different subjects 'Spain', 'Greece', 'Portugal' and 'Italy' are correctly separated by comma in option C. Hence, the correct option is C.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Select the correctly punctuated sentence.
    Solution
    Comma indicates a smaller pause. It is used to separate two adjectives when the order of the adjectives is interchangeable. In the given sentence, 'old' and 'derelict' are the two adjectives used for warehouse. Thus, comma is used to separate them. We can also use 'derelict, old warehouse' as the adjectives are interchangeable. Apostrophe is correctly used as 'Sarah's and Uncle's in option B since it is used here to show possession. Hence, option B is correct. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Among the following sentences, only one has all the apostrophes correctly placed. Select that correct sentence.
    Solution
    Apostrophe is used to indicate possession. Apostrophe is used before 's' with singular nouns and after 's' with plural nouns. Here, 'buildings' is a plural noun and doors and windows belong to the buildings. Therefore, the correct use of apostrophe is: C) The two buildings' doors and windows were damaged in the blast. 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    The question is not whether Serena Williams will win a twenty-third Grand Slam title, but when.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    Solution
    According to general rule, a question mark is used at the end of a direct sentence whereas, indirect sentences are ended with a period.
    The given sentence is an indirect sentence, thus a period should be used to end the sentence.
    Thus, the correct answer will be Option A, no change.
    Option B and D are incorrect, because a comma is never used at the end of a sentence and an exclamation mark is used to  express strong feelings, high volume or for emphasis.
