Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable noun:
    Even though age has caught up with him now, he is still always on the ________.
    Solution
    Option A: The phrase 'on the move' is an idiomatic expression. (In idiomatic expressions, the meaning is different from the literal meanings of the individual elements.) It means: to be physically active.
    Hence the correct word used is 'move' and option A is correct.
    Options B, C and D: The words 'take', 'road' and 'give' do not form the required meaning in the sentence. The expression is a set phrase and cannot be substituted with another word. Hence these options are wrong.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    Give me two ________ cake, please.
    Solution
    The suitable word must be plural, as suggested by the number 'two'.
    Option D: 'Pieces' is a plural noun and completes the sentence in meaning. 'Of' is a preposition that answers the question 'two pieces of what?'. A preposition connects a noun with a word or a sentence. Here, 'of' connects 'cake' with 'pieces'. Hence this option is correct.
    Options A, B and C: 'Piece' and 'slice' are singular nouns. They do not match with the plural number 'two'. 'Pieces' is incomplete without 'of'. It does not form a complete thought.
    Hence these options are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Complete the following sentence with commonly used familiar nouns:
    He is so adamant that at times it is like talking to a ________ wall.
    Solution
    Option B: The phrase 'like talking to a brick wall' is an idiomatic expression. (In idiomatic expressions, the meaning is different from the literal meanings of the individual elements.) It is used for somebody who refuses to listen to you.
    Hence the correct word used is 'brick' and option B is correct.
    Options A, C and D: The words 'stone', 'wooden' and 'rock' do not form the required meaning in the sentence. The expression is a set phrase and cannot be substituted with another word. Hence these options are wrong.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    He took a __________ of cigarettes out of his pocket.
    Solution
    Just like 'a swarm of bees', 'a flock of sheep', we write 'a packet of cigarettes'. 'Packet' is the appropriate collective noun to complete the phrase. So, option C is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the appropriate answer.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct option. 
    Nouns that refer to a group of people or things are called ______ nouns.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option A - collective nouns. Words such as team, flock, fleet etc are collective nouns because they refer to a large number of people or things taken together.
    Option B is incorrect because concrete nouns refer to people or things that can be experienced with the five senses.
    Option C is incorrect because uncountable nouns refer to things that cannot be counted.
    Option D is incorrect because proper nouns refer to people or things that are specific or unique.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
    Directions for questions 84 and 85: In the following questions, sentences are given with blanks to be filled in with an appropriate word. Four alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative out of the four as your answer.
    I saw a ______ of cattle grazing in the meadow.
    Solution
     Group of cattle is called as herd of cattle.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Look, Mother; James has brought you a __________ of flowers.
    Solution
    Look, Mother; James has brought you a 'bunch' of flowers.
    It goes without saying that nobody is going to present a branch, bush, bucket or growth of flowers, unless the situation is extremely comical. 'Bunch' is a collective noun used to refer to things such as 'flowers' or 'keys.'
    So, option C is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the correct answer.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    How much of the amount has been spent?
    Solution
    Countable nouns name things or beings that can be counted. For example, one apple, three bears, etc.
    Uncountable nouns cannot be counted, because they refer to quantity or mass. For example, some milk, some apple juice, etc.
    Option A: 'Amount' refers to the quantity of something. It cannot be counted, and is hence uncountable. So, option A is right.

    Options B and D: The noun 'amount' refers to a quantity and hence cannot be counted. It indicates a mass and hence is an uncountable noun.

    Options C and D: 'Much' is a quantifier and indicates the amount or degree of something. It means 'a large amount'. It's not a noun and hence cannot be categorized as countable or uncountable.
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the types of nouns present in the following sentence:
    Santhosh was congratulated on his victory.
    Solution
    Common nouns include both abstract as well as concrete nouns. These nouns name things, whether abstract or concrete. By abstract we mean, something that can be sensed or felt, and not touched. They include emotions and states of being. Concrete nouns can be seen, felt, tasted, smelled and heard.
    Collective nouns refer to a group of things like a swarm of bees.
    Proper nouns name a specific person, place or animal, for e.g. Amy, America.
    Option D: In the given sentence, 'Santhosh' is the name of a particular man, hence it's a proper noun.
    The noun 'victory' is an abstract thing. It refers to the state of winning. Hence it's an abstract or a common noun. So, option D is correct.
    Options A and B: 'Santosh' cannot be a common noun as it names a specific individual.
    'Victory' refers to a state of winning, and does not indicate any group or individual. Hence these options are incorrect.
    Option C: 'Santhosh' names a concrete noun, a man. Hence it cannot be abstract and this option is incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Pick out the countable and uncountable nouns from the following sentence:
    He has learned the alphabet.
    Solution
    Countable nouns refer to things that can be counted, and have a singular and plural form, like apple/apples. Uncountable nouns refer to things that cannot be counted, they do not have a plural form, for example: rice, milk. From the given options, A is correct as 'alphabet' refers to a set of letters of a language. The plural of alphabet is alphabets and it's a countable noun. Option B is incorrect because the noun is not an uncountable, it can be modified by a number, hence it's countable. Option C is incorrect because the question asks for nouns to be picked out, and 'he' is a pronoun. Option D is incorrect because 'he' is not a noun, so it can't be countable or uncountable and 'alphabet' is a countable, and not an uncountable noun.
