Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Pick out the countable and uncountable nouns from the following sentence:
He drinks a glass of milk daily.

A
glass - Countable; milk - Uncountable

B
glass - Uncountable; milk - Countable

C
glass, milk - Uncountable

D
glass, milk - Countable

Solution

Countable nouns refer to things that can be counted, they have a singular and plural form, like apple/apples. Uncountable nouns refer to things that cannot be counted, because they are made up of so many minute particles, that makes it impossible to count. They do not have a plural form, example, rice, milk. From the options, A is correct because 'glass' can be counted, its plural form being 'glasses', and 'milk' cannot be counted, it can't be modified by a number but its quantity is measured by a quantifier like 'some milk', 'a little milk'. Option B is incorrect because 'glass' is not an uncountable noun, it is spoken in its plural form as 'two glasses', 'ten glasses', and 'milk' is not countable, you can't say 'two milks'. Option C is incorrect because milk is uncountable, but glass is not, it can be counted in number. Option D is incorrect because glass is countable, but milk is not, we can't use a number before milk, and it can't be made plural as well.
Question 2
1 / -0

In the following sentence, a word has been italicized. To what category of noun does it belong?

Our class consists of twenty pupils.

A
Countable Noun

B
Uncountable Noun

C
Collective Noun

D
Abstract Noun

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.
Collective nouns refers to a group of things of the same type. For example, 'a swarm of bees', 'a pack of wolves', etc. Collective nouns refer to a group as a singular being.
Abstract nouns refer to things that cannot be perceived through any of our senses (touch, see, taste, smell, hear). They are emotions or states of being. For example, 'happiness', intelligence', etc.
Option A: In the given sentence, 'pupils' refers to a number of students. They can be counted, as mentioned in the sentence 'twenty pupils'. Hence it's a countable noun and option A is correct.

Options B, C and D:
'Pupils' cannot be uncountable as it refers to twenty students already.
It cannot be collective because it does not refer to the pupils as a singular form. (For example, 'a class of pupils') The sentence expresses individual pupils, hence they have been counted as twenty.
Pupils are students, human beings that can be perceived through all our senses. The noun cannot be abstract.
Hence these options are incorrect.

'Band' is a collective noun which is used with people or musicians.
'Herd' is a collective noun which is used with (a group of) animals.
'Stack' means a pile of objects.
Since the sentence conveys that bricks (objects) are being arranged, the correct option is 'stack'.

1 / -0

A
clump

B
shoal

C
clutch

Solution

A 'clutch' of eggs means a group of eggs produced by birds, amphibians, or reptiles, often at a single time. Hence option C is the correct answer.
Option A is incorrect because a 'clump' means a small group of trees or plants growing closely together.
Option B is incorrect because 'shoal' means a group of fish swimming together.
Option D is incorrect because 'pile' means a heap of things laid or lying one on top of another.
Question 6

Choose the part of the sentence that contains an error.
[A] We haven't got [B] many homework [C] this week.

A
A

B
B

C
C

D
No error

Solution

'Many homework' is grammatically incorrect as 'many' is used for countable nouns, whereas 'homework' is uncountable. 'Much' is used when the noun is uncountable or we can also use 'any' since the given statement is negative. We haven't got any homework this week.
So, the correct answer is B).
Question 7
1 / -0

In the following sentence, a word has been italicized. To what category of noun does it belong?

I believe in his innocence.

A
Abstract Noun

B
Concrete Noun

C

D
None

Solution

'Innocence' is an intangible, abstract idea and is, thus, an abstract noun.
Question 8
1 / -0

In the following question, choose the correct option to fill in the blank:
To save the drowning man, a _________ of sailors came out on the boats.

A
troop

B
crew

C
band

D
gang

Solution

Option B is the correct answer as 'crew' means a group of people who work together, especially all those who work on and operate a ship, aircraft, etc. Using this word would make the sentence complete in meaning and sense.
A 'troop' means a collection of people or more specifically a small unit of cavalry or armour commanded by a captain; 'band' means a group of people who have a common interest usually refers to a small group of musicians and vocalists.; 'gang' means an organized group of criminals. Options A, C and D are incorrect because according to the meanings given, none of these words would make logical sense if used in the sentence.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to fill the blank:
I have met her many a _________.

A
Times

B
Timing

C
Time

D
Timings

Solution

'Many a time' is a set phrase that simply means 'many times'.
Options A and C: Since we have the article 'a', we can't use the plural form 'times'. The article 'a' refers to singular nouns. 'Time' is singular, moreover, it is a part of the set phrase 'many a time', which would not be changed.
Hence option C is correct and A is incorrect.
Options B and D: Similarly, 'timings' is a plural noun and would not follow the article 'a'. 'Timing' is singular but, since the phrase 'many a time' is fixed and can't be modified, this option is not suitable.
Hence these options are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Choose the correct option to fill the blank.
I can easily read and write the English _______.

A
Alphabets

B
Alphabetic

C
Alphabet

D
Alphabetical

Solution

Options A and C: 'Alphabet' refers to the set of letters (or alphabets). 'Alphabets' refers to the letters that make the English Alphabet. When we say it in singular form, we refer to it as a whole, whereas in the plural form we talk about the individual letters.
In the given sentence, the whole is considered, 'the English alphabet'. ('The' refers to a group or a whole entity.)
Hence option C is correct and A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Alphabetic' is an adjective. It relates to the alphabet. Adjectives cannot be the object of verbs (write) and require a noun or a noun form.
Option D: Similarly, 'alphabetical' is also an adjective. It means 'in the same order as the letters of the alphabet'. It cannot be the object of the verb 'write'.
Hence options B and D are incorrect.
