Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Complete the following sentence with a commonly used noun :
    He was ______ on time. He is always very punctual.
    Solution
    The second sentence tells us that the subject 'he' is always very punctual. Hence, the first sentence should describe the action of such a person.
    The phrase, 'spot on time' means exactly at the correct time. The sentence, 'He was spot on time' works well and describes the action of a punctual person. Hence, option A is correct. 
    The word, 'exact' is an adjective which modifies a noun. The blank has to be filled by an adverb, which modifies, the verb 'was'. The adverb form of 'exact' is 'exactly'. Hence the word 'exact' is not the appropriate answer and option B is incorrect.  
    The phrase, 'on time' means 'at the specified period of time'. While this phrase can be used on a standalone basis, the phrase, 'well on time' is not a common usage in English. Hence, option C is incorrect. 
    Option D is incorrect as option A is correct. 

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Complete the following sentence with a commonly used noun :
    I'll do this job as it is right up my ______. 
    Solution
    The phrase, 'right up my street' is an idiomatic expression which means 'it is 'the kind of thing I like or know about'. If a person likes/knows a job well, he/ she will take it up/ agree to do it. Hence, the word, 'street' appropriately fills the blank and completes the idiom. Hence, option B is correct. 
    There is no idiom such as 'right up my road' or 'right up my way'. These are misrepresentations of the idiom 'right up my street'. Hence, options A and C are  incorrect. 
    Option D is incorrect as option B is the correct answer. 

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Change the verb given in the bracket to suitable noun :
    I have no _____ (object) to your going for a movie, but the time is a concern. 
    Solution
    The verb, 'object' means 'to say something to express one's opposition to or disagreement with something'. Its noun form is 'objection'. Hence, option C is correct.
    'Object' is the verb in simple present tense form. 'Objecting' is the verb in continuous present tense form. Hence, options A and B are incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect as option C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Complete the following sentence with the most appropriate noun:
    He has made a major __________ of that simple problem. 
    Solution
    The words, 'simple problem' in the sentence indicates that the word which fills the blank means the opposite of these words. The words, 'task' and 'job' means the same i.e a piece of work to be done. They do not mean the opposite of 'simple problem'. Hence, options A and B are not appropriate answers. 
    The word, 'issue' means 'an important topic or problem for debate or discussion'. This word means the opposite of the words, 'simple problem and fits the blank perfectly. The sentence, 'He has made a major issue of that simple problem', means: 'He has created a major problem out of a simple problem'. Hence, option C is correct.
    Option D is incorrect as option C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Replace the underlined verb in the given sentence with the correct option with the correct noun form:
    My weight keeps fluctuating, so my dresses always need alter.
    Solution
    The meaning of the underlined verb 'alter' is: to make changes to.
    The verb must be replaced with a noun, because the word before it, 'need', is a verb. A verb is generally followed by a noun. (It is sometimes followed by an adverb when it modifies the verb.)
    Option B: From the options, 'alteration' is the most suitable word, as it's a noun.
    It refers to 'the process of altering'. Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Altered' is a verb or an adjective, depending on its usage. As a verb, it cannot be placed after the verb 'need'. As an adjective, it cannot be used as there's no noun after it which it can modify.
    Option C: 'Alternating' is a verb. Also, it has a different meaning from 'alter'. It means 'to occur in turn repeatedly'.
    Option D: Similarly, 'alternate' is also a verb. It does not complete the sentence in meaning.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Replace the underlined verb in the given sentence with a suitable option:
    Admit to a good school is not easy these days.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the subject is a noun phrase "_____ to a good school". The subject of a sentence performs an action, here the action is to be "is". A noun phrase is a group of words with a noun as the focus. In the phrase there is no head noun. Hence the suitable word should be a noun. 'Admit' is a verb and must be replaced by a noun.
    Option D: The noun form of 'admit' is 'admission'. Hence it's the most suitable option.
    Option A: 'Admitted' is a verb form and does not function as the head of the subject.
    Option B: 'Admitting' is a verb form in the present tense.
    Option C: 'Admittance' is also a noun but it does not share the exact same meaning as 'admission'. You may gain 'admission' to a school or college, but 'admittance' refers to the mere permission of physical entry inside any institution. Hence the word that we're looking for is 'admission' and not 'admittance'.
    So, options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Select the correct noun from the options given.
    The USA is ___________.
    Solution
    'Democracy' is a system of government.
    Option A: Articles like 'a' are indefinite articles that are used for non specific nouns. The article 'a' is used when the noun begins with a consonant. In the given sentence, 'democracy' is a noun that begins with 'd', a consonant. So the correct form is 'a democracy' and option A is correct.

    Option B: 'Some democracy' isn't a suitable option. 'Some' is used for uncountable nouns, whereas 'democracy' is countable.
    Option C: We use 'an' when the noun begins with a vowel. In the given sentence, 'democracy' is a non specific noun and begins with a consonant 'd'.
    Hence we do not use the article 'an'.
    Option D: 'Democracy' cannot be used on its own without an article or any other modifier. As a result the meaning is left incomplete.
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Replace the underlined verb in the given sentence with a suitable option:
    What is your impress of the new appointee?
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the underlined word is the object of the verb 'is'. An object of a verb is a noun, and hence the suitable option should be a noun. 'Impress' is a verb and must be replaced by a noun.
    Option C: The noun form of 'impress' is 'impression'. Hence it's the most suitable option.
    Option A: 'Impressed' is a verb form in the past tense.
    Option B: 'Impressing' is a verb form in the present continuous tense.
    Option D: 'Impresses' is also a verb form, in the simple present tense.
    These words are all verbs whereas the suitable option must be a noun.
    Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Replace the underlined verb in the given sentence with a suitable option:
    Celebrities neither show their excitement nor express their frustrate in front of the media persons.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the underlined word is the object of the verb 'express'. An object of a verb is a noun, and hence the suitable option should be a noun. 'Frustrate' is a verb and must be replaced by a noun.
    Option A: The noun form of 'frustrate' is 'frustration'. Hence it's the most suitable option.
    Option B: 'Frustrating' is a verb form in the present continuous tense.
    Option C: 'Frustrates' is a verb form in the simple present tense.
    Option D: 'Frustrated' is also a verb form, in the past tense.
    These words are all verbs whereas the suitable option must be a noun.
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Select the correct countable or uncountable noun.
    I am looking for __________ for the windows.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    In the given sentence the exact quantity of glass is unknown and it cannot be measured in numbers since it is needed for windows. 
    Hence this unknown quantity is expressed by the adjective 'some'.
    Therefore, 'some glass' - option B is the correct answer.
    The remaining options are incorrect because:
    Option A- refers to a single glass which is not possibly correct in the context of the given sentence.
    Option C- 'Many glass' is grammatically incorrect.
    Option D- Since option A is the correct answer, Option D is ruled out.
    Thus Option B is the correct answer.
