Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

He practised the symphony __________ so that his performance would be perfect on the evening of the show.

A
to and fro

B
far and wide

C
now and then

D
over and over

Solution

The two adverbs joined by a conjunction such as 'over and over' are used when something is done frequently and repeatedly. In the given sentence, he wanted his performance to be perfect on the evening of the show. Thus, to indicate how much he practised to achieve perfection, 'over and over' is used.
In order to have a perfect performance he practised the symphony but did not move backwards and forwards or up and down. Nor, did he move over a large area. Hence, the adverb phrases, to and fro and far and wide i.e. options A and B are incorrect.
Option C will also be incorrect as now and then is used when something is done occasionally which is not the case here.
Therefore, the answer is option D.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:

We met for coffee, but he never spoke about his family.

A
did not

B
neither

C
did

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The phrase 'did not' is used in sentences where there is a clear indication to the time of the event. In the given sentence, they had met for coffee. Thus, to indicate the time when he didn't discuss his family at all, 'did not' is used.
It is true that he did not speak about his family when they met for coffee. Neither is used before the first of the two alternatives to indicate that they each are untrue. Hence, option B is incorrect.
The use of the conjunction 'but' means that a clause contrasting with what has already been mentioned is being introduced. Hence, 'did' can't be used here so option C is incorrect.
Option D will also be incorrect as 'never' is used to talk about things not done at any time in your life which is not the case here.
Therefore, the answer is option A.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:
The man appeared sudden.

A
suddenly

B
suddener

C
sooner

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The underlined word "sudden" is an adjective that usually modifies a noun that is abstract or an object, not a person, the word needs to be changed. Hence option D is not correct. Option A is correct because it describes the manner in which the man appeared (adverb of manner), i.e., in an abrupt way. Option B is incorrect because the word does not exist in the English language. Option C is a comparative, which is used when a comparison is made between two nouns or phrases. The given sentence does not contain any phrase or noun with which the 'man' can be compared, hence option C is incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:

It is nothing else than embarrassment that prevented him from speaking.

A
than

B
but

C
or

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The correct answer is Option B.
'Than ' is used when comparison between two things is made, for e.g. he is taller than his brother.
'Or' is used when we are to choose between two things, for e.g. I will study History or English.
Hence Option A and C are not the suitable options that correct the sentence at the underlined point.
As a rule the adverb ELSE is followed by BUT. The sentence means to say that what prevented him from speaking is embarrassment.
Therefore option B is the correct option.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:

She is so tall.

A
very

B
almost

C
that

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
'So' is used to express degree. Here in the given sentence we are to identify the option that aptly expresses the degree of her tallness.
'Almost' is used in the meaning of 'not completely'.
In the given sentence the adverb of degree 'so; is used. This means that 'she' is 'tall' to a level of completeness. Therefore Option B is the incorrect option.
Option C- 'That' is used to describe something, it does not express degree. Hence it is the incorrect option.
Option D- 'No change' is not the correct answer because the sentence is incomplete. The adverb 'so' is always followed by 'that'; for e.g. 'she is so tall that...'
'Very' correctly denotes the meaning of her degree of tallness. Hence it is the correct option.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:

She spoke of nothing else but the picnic she had been to during the weekend.

A
than

B
that

C
to

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

The correct answer is Option D.
The sentence is correct and needs no change.
'Than' is used for comparison.
'That' is used to describe a thing.
'To' is used a function to indicate movement or an action.
The sentence means to say that she only spoke of the picnic she had been to during the weekend. 'Else but' means 'only'.
Therefore option D is the correct answer as no change is needed in the sentence.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:

We went to the park, but they did not play games there.

A
never

B
neither

C
did

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

An adverb is a word or phrase that qualifies or changes an adjective, verb or other adverb, to express a relation of situation, cause etc.
The correct answer is D) No CHANGE as the sentence is structured correctly.
Options A,B, and C are wrong as the given sentence is correct
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

He paced __________ while he tried to come up with a plan that could solve their problems.

A
over and over

B
far and near

C
to and fro

D
now and again

Solution

In the given statement the correct adverb has to be chosen by looking at the verb which is 'paced', which can be defined as walking at a steady speed, especially when someone is annoyed or anxious. As an adverb describes the verb, the correct answer would be option C which is to walk 'to and fro, i.e. from one point to another, back and forth or up and down. 'Over and over' means to walk frequently; 'far and near' means everywhere; while 'now and again' means occasionally or at intervals. Thus in the given context 'to and fro' is the suitable option because it expresses the restless walking of the person involved within a given area while pondering over a solution. Therefore option A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the option that fills the blank with the most appropriate word:

The twin girls are _____ dressed in similar clothes.

A
lately

B
late

C
prettily

D
pretty

Solution

Option C is the correct answer because 'prettily' is an adverb that means in a pretty way.
Option A is incorrect because 'lately' is an adverb that means recently.
Options B and D are incorrect because 'late' means behind schedule and 'pretty' means pleasing to the eye. Both are adjectives.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:

She was regarded the best pianist in the country.

A
regarded as

B
regarded to

C
regarded for

D
NO CHANGE

Solution

'As' is used as an adverb for referring to what someone or something does or how they appear. Thus, option A is the correct answer. Rest of the answers are not the correct fit.
