Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that contains the adverb in the correct position in the sentence:

    He played enough well to win.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, there are two adverbs: 'enough' (adverb of degree) and 'well' (adverb of manner).
    Adverbs of manner are either placed in the mid position or end position. When placed in the end position (after the subject and verb), the adverb 'well' is placed right after the verb 'played'.
    The adverb of degree 'enough' is placed after the adjective or adverb that it modifies.
    Also, the adverb must be placed closest to the word (adjective, verb or adverb) that it modifies.
    Hence, 'well' will be placed after the verb 'played'. Since the word 'enough' modifies 'well' (it means 'He played in a good manner to the necessary degree), it shall be placed after 'well'.
    So, the correct option is B: He played well enough to win. ('to win' is a prepositional phrase)
    The given sentence is incorrect because 'enough' does not modify the verb 'played', so it wouldn't be placed right after. Hence A is incorrect.
    Option C is incorrect as the placement of the adverb 'enough' is not right.
    Option D is incorrect as the adverb 'enough' is placed far from the word it modifies 'well'.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that puts the adverb in the correct position in the sentence:
    Tom is a busy rather man.
    Solution
    Adverbs modify adjectives, verbs and other adverbs. Here, the adverb is "rather" which is an adverb of degree. In the context of the sentence, it means 'more than expected' and modifies the adjective "busy". An adverb of degree is usually placed before the word that it modifies, here it modifies 'busy' as it tells us the level or degree of being busy, which is more than the speaker expects. In the given sentence, it modifies the noun 'man' instead of the adjective, and adverbs don't modify nouns, hence the given sentence is incorrect, so option B is correct and D is wrong. The adverb modifies the adjective here, not the verb, there's no degree or level of the 'state of being', "is". Hence option A is incorrect. Similarly, option C is incorrect because in this option the adverb is in the end and does not modify the adjective 'busy'.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that puts the adverb in the correct position in the sentence:

    He used to always wear a blue shirt.
    Solution
    'Always' is an adverb of frequency. The rule says that if a sentence has one verb, place the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence so that it is positioned after the subject but before the verb. 'He' is the subject in the sentence hence 'always' should be placed after the subject and before the verb.
    Thus, option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that puts the adverb in the correct position in the sentence:

    I have to often travel by train.
    Solution
    The position of adverb in a sentence often depends on the kind of adverb (adverb of manner, place, time or frequency). Adverbs that indicate frequency are put directly before the verb. However, when the auxiliary verbs are to be stressed, they are sometimes put after the adverbs. 
    In the given sentence, the auxiliary verb needs emphasis, thus the correct answer is Option C and the remaining options are incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that puts the adverb in the correct position in the sentence:

    I am late for meetings never.
    Solution
    'Never' is an adverb of frequency. The rule says that if a sentence has one verb, place the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence so that it is positioned after the subject but before the verb. 'I' is the subject and 'late' is the verb in the sentence. Thus, option A is the correct answer per the rule.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that puts the adverb in the correct position in the sentence:

    She will well sing at the today evening concert.
    Solution
    'Well' is an adverb of manner which is often placed after the sentence's object or main verb. 'Sing' is the main verb in the given sentence. Option C is not grammatically correct. Thus, the correct answer is option A. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that puts the adverb in the correct position in the sentence:

    The cat just has eaten.
    Solution
    'Just' is used as an adverb which shows something has happened a short time ago. 'Just' is an adverb of degree which usually goes in the mid position before the verb. Options B and D are not grammatically correct per rule. 
    Thus, option C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that puts the adverb in the correct position in the sentence:

    His daughter bakes usually.
    Solution
    'Usually' is an adverb of frequency. The rule says that if a sentence has one verb, place the adverb of frequency in the middle of the sentence so that it is positioned after the subject but before the verb. 'His daughter' is the subject and 'bakes' is the verb in the sentence. Thus, option B is the correct answer per the rule.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the option which makes correct use of the adverb. 
    Solution
    Option A makes the correct use of adverb ‘now’. Now is adverb of time and answers the question when. It is placed after the verb or the object. ‘Now’ means present time, at this moment or very soon. It is usually put in end position. ’Now’ used in mid position as used in option B and C expresses a change as a result of something. ‘Now’ in beginning as in option D represents instructions.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Name the part of speech of the underlined word in the following sentence:
    This song is good enough to be sung in a competition.
    Solution
    An 'adverb' tells us the way someone does something, or in other words how a verb is performed by modifying the adjective, verbs or other adverbs; while an adjective describes the verb itself. In this sentence, 'enough' is describing the adjective 'good', and therefore it is an adverb. Thus, Option A) is correct.
