Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the statement at the underlined point:

One of his friend preferred to travel by air alone.

A
NO CHANGE

B
social circles

C
colleagues

D
acquaintance

Solution

There are two numbers in Noun-Number: Singular and Plural. When we speak about one person / thing, we use the noun in singular form. When we speak about more than one person / thing, we use the noun in plural form.
In the sentence given, we are referring to one of many 'friends'. Hence, the underlined part must have a plural noun. Only options B and C are plural. However, social circles is a group of people and, hence, is not the correct option here.
This leaves us with option C as the right answer.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
Both of the buildings had a terrace with a view of the sea.

A
NO CHANGE

B
windows

C

D

Solution

There are two numbers in Noun-Number: Singular and Plural. When we speak about one person / thing, we use the noun in singular form. When we speak about more than one person / thing, we use the noun in plural form.
Since, in the given sentence, we are referring to two separate buildings, we need to use a plural noun. The only plural option is option B) windows. Hence, this is the right answer.

1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the statement at the underlined point:

A

Solution

There are two numbers in Noun-Number: Singular and Plural. When we speak about one person / thing, we use the noun in singular form. When we speak about more than one person / thing, we use the noun in plural form.
The word three in the sentence indicates that the noun must be plural.
Hence, the correct answer is B) Bags.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word:
The radius of the two circles are of equal measure.

A
NO CHANGE

B
arc

C
diameter

D
radii

Solution

Option A: In the given sentence, the noun 'two circles' is plural. So, there should be a consistency in terms of number in a sentence. The word 'radius' is singular, it refers to only one radius, whereas 'circles' is plural. Hence this word must be changed and option A is incorrect.
Option D: 'Radii' is the plural form of 'radius' and hence agrees with the rest of the sentence in terms of number. Hence option D is correct.
Options B and C: 'Arc' and 'diameter' are both singular nouns and, like 'radius', do not agree with the sentence in number. Hence these options are incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

A
NO CHANGE

B

C
the floral teacups

D
the pot of flowers

Solution

There are two numbers in Noun-Number: Singular and Plural. When we speak about one person / thing, we use the noun in singular form. When we speak about more than one person / thing, we use the noun in plural form.
In the sentence given, we are referring to 'objects' which implies that the noun in the blank should be a plural one. In the options given, 'the pot' is singular so option D is incorrect. Options A and B are also incorrect because they are singular.
Hence, the correct answer is C) The floral teacups (plural).

In the sentence given, we are referring to two people, so we must use a plural noun. Since 'type' is singular, we may rule out option D. We are also talking about two players, so option B is incorrect.
Hence, the correct answer is C) examples of tennis players.
