  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Replace the following underlined phrase with appropriate collective noun: 
    The people who acted in the film were all members of a single family.
    Solution
    The people who act in a film or play are referred to as 'actors'. Hence, the phrase given in option C is the correct answer. 
    The word, 'character' refers to a person who is represented in a film or play. However, it does not refer to a person who acts in the film or play. Hence, option A is incorrect. 
    The phrase 'guys of the film' and 'fellows of the film' do not convey any meaning. Hence, options B and D are incorrect.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Change the verb given in the bracket to a suitable noun:
    What was his ________ (react) to your decision to quit studies?
    Solution
    The verb 'react' means 'act in response to something'. Its noun form is 'reaction'. Hence, option B is correct. 
    Option A: The word, 'reacting' is the present continuous form of the verb. 
    Option C: The word 'react' is a verb, not a noun.  
    Hence, options A and C are incorrect. 
    Option D is incorrect as option B is the correct answer. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Select the abstract noun from the options given.
    Solution
    Nouns are naming words. Abstract nouns are the nouns that can't be seen and touched. For example: anger, truth, danger etc.
    Option B - 'Oak' is a type of tree. A tree can be seen and touched. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Vase' is a decorative container for flowers made of glass, it can be seen and touched. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Hourglass' is a timing device which has two connected glass bulbs, one containing sand that takes an hour to pass to the second bulb. We can see and touch an 'hourglass'. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'Youth' is a period between childhood to adulthood, which can be experienced but cannot be seen and touched. Hence, we can say that 'youth' is an abstract noun. Thus option A is the correct answer.

    ...view full instructions

    Fill in blank (26) with the most appropriate option:
    Solution
    Option C: 'But' expresses contrast between two ideas. "We get on well together" is a direct contrast to "my sister and I are very different", because it's a general idea that people who are different don't get along so well. Hence this word is suitable here and option C is correct.

    Option A: 'So' expresses conclusion. It's not relevant to the sentence here.
    Option B: 'However' means 'in spite of that'. When 'however' is used in the middle of a sentence, it's separated using a semi colon (;) before and a comma (,) after the word 'however'. For example: 'My sister and I are very different; however, we get on well together.
    But there is no semi colon present here.
    Option D: 'And' merely connects two ideas that do not affect each other in meaning. But here, one idea is in contrast to another.
    Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    There are many __________ on the shelf.
    Solution
    The suitable word must be plural, as suggested by the words 'are' and 'many'. The verb 'are' is a plural verb ('is' is singular). When the verb is plural, the noun in relation must also be plural. 'Many' refers to a plural noun.
    Option B: 'Magazines' is a plural noun and completes the sentence in meaning. Hence this option is correct.
    Options A, C and D: 'Paper' and 'book' are singular nouns. 'Dust' is an uncountable noun whereas 'many' only modifies countable nouns.
    These words do not match with the determiner 'many'; 'many' refers to more than one. Hence these options are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    ________ of the children is sick today.
    Solution
    The verb in the given sentence 'is' is singular. When the verb is singular, the noun in relation must also be singular. The number of words in the sequence must be consistent in a sentence.
    The subject is a phrase '_____ of the children'. The head of the phrase will be singular, as determined before.
    Option A: 'One' is a singular number as it refers to a single child, 'one of the' means 'one person from the rest of the children'.
     
    Hence this option 'A' is correct.

    Options B, C, and D: Fewer, many, and some all refer to plural nouns. They do not agree with the singular verb. Hence these options are wrong.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the abstract noun from the options given below:
    Solution
    Concrete nouns name things that can be perceived by any of our senses,  sight, touch, taste, smell and hearing.
    Abstract nouns name a state of being, a feeling, or an idea that cannot be seen, touched, smelled, tasted or heard. Abstract nouns do not have a physical form like concrete nouns do.
    Option A: Youth is a stage of life, a period between childhood and adulthood. It is a state of being, hence it's an abstract noun.
    Option B: Oak is a tree, it is a concrete noun.
    Options C and D: Similarly, vase and hourglass are also concrete nouns, the former is a decorative bowl and the latter is a device that measures time. Both can be seen and touched.
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words:
    The ___________ of the forest will result in the ___________ of many animal species.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, both words are abstract nouns as they refer to the conditions of the forest that would impact a condition of the animals. Abstract nouns express states or conditions of things, ideas or actions.
    Option B: 'Destruction' refers to an action that leads to the damage of something. 'Disappearance' expresses a state of someone or something that ceases to exist. These noun forms are compatible with the sentence in structure and meaning. Hence option B is correct.
    Options A, C and D: 'Disappear' is a verb form and does not express the activity but the action.
    'Destructing' is a present participle and not a noun form.
    'Destruct' is a verb and does not indicate the state of the act.
    Hence these options are wrong.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Petroleum ____ are getting more and more expensive everyday.
    Solution
    The given sentence does not have a subject. Thus, the answer must be a noun/pronoun which will become the subject. On the other hand 'are' is a plural verb, so, the word to be filled in the blank must be a plural subject in order to complete the subject-verb agreement.
    Option A is incorrect. 'produces' can be a noun but, it means 'yield'. 'yield' can become more or less, it cannot become expensive or cheap. Thus, the noun does not agree with the adjective and so, 'produces' is not the best fit for the blank.
    Option B is correct. 'products' is a plural noun. Also, 'products' are things that can become expensive. Thus, it fits in the blank and is the correct answer.
    Option C is incorrect. 'production' is a singular noun and not a plural one. Thus, it does not justify the presence of 'are' and makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect. 'productivity' is a singular noun and not a plural one. Thus, it does not justify the presence of 'are' and makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    A: May I help you?
    B: Yes, I want three ______________.
    Solution
    The suitable word must be plural, as suggested by the number 'three'.
    Option B: 'Cans of beans' is a plural noun and completes the sentence in meaning. 'Of' is a preposition that answers the question 'cans of what?'. A preposition connects a noun with a word or a sentence. Here, 'of' connects 'cans' with 'beans'. Hence this option is correct.
    Options A, B and C: 'Can of beans' is a singular noun. It refers to a single can, with lots of beans in it. 'Can' is a collective noun here, and is considered as singular. As the number 'three' calls for a plural of 'can', this is not the answer.
    'Cans beans' and 'can beans' are both incomplete without 'of'. It does not form a complete thought.
    Hence these options are incorrect.
