Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
A character sketch ______________________.

A
is only created of the main characters

B
may be written on any character

C
is only created of the protagonist

D
is only created of the antagonist

Solution

"A character sketch is a description made for the purpose of guiding the writer on such assignments as introducing a particular character to the reader in such a way that both the writer and readers can have a quick overview of the character's attributes; including but not limited to physical appearance, idiosyncratic (individual) tendencies in different circumstances, state of mind as shaped by former experiences and how these will affect their future actions."
Option B: The character sketch may or may not be formed of the main characters. It can also be about a character who plays a minor but pivotal role, depending on the story itself. Hence there is no compulsion, and option B is correct.
Options A, C and D: The character sketch is not limited to only the main characters, protagonist or antagonist. It can be on a person who's not the main character but plays an important role at some point.
Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
Question 2
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
You need ______________ in order to create a character sketch.

A
all the information about a character

B
a clear idea of the personality of the character

C
a detailed account of the history of the character

D
All of the above

Solution

"A character sketch is a description made for the purpose of guiding the writer on such assignments as introducing a particular character to the reader in such a way that both the writer and readers can have a quick overview of the character's attributes; including but not limited to physical appearance, idiosyncratic (individual) tendencies in different circumstances, state of mind as shaped by former experiences and how these will affect their future actions."
Options A and B:
A character sketch gives the reader an idea about the character's personality, rather than everything about it. The sketch is made for the reader to understand how the character thinks and feels. This expresses personality.
You don't need all the information about the character, as it wouldn't help the reader as much to understand the character.
Hence option A is wrong and B is right.
Option C: It is not necessary to know the detailed history of the character, what shapes a character is how he talks, thinks, feels and behaves.
Hence option C is wrong.
Option D is wrong as only one answer is right 'B'.
Question 3
1 / -0

A report should not include which of the following?
Select the best option.

A
the report's title

B
the character's opinion

C
the main events that took place

D
a definite structure

Solution

The correct answer is the one that should NOT be included in a report.
Option B: A report is the detailed description of what happened, or it is about someone.
When describing past events or traits of a person, the opinion does not get included. The purpose of the report is to convey news and not tell the reader what the character thinks. Hence option B is correct.

Option A: The report's title is essential to a report. Hence it shall be included in a report.
Option C: The report should include the main events that take place, because they form the crux of that report. They hold a purpose for that report.
Option D: A report contains a definite structure, with introduction, body and conclusion being the basic structure.
Hence options A, C and D are not the right answers.
Question 4
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
The information in a report is usually written in order of ____________ .

A
dates

B
place

C
detail

D
importance

Solution

Information is usually arranged in order of importance, with the most importance information coming first. Hence option D is correct.
Options A, B and C: Report writing does not consider the order of dates, place or detail.
Hence options A, B and C are wrong.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the best option:
Which of the following should not be included in a report?

A
name of people affected by the event

B
date of the event

C
place of the event

D
time of the event

Solution

The correct option is the one that should not be included in a report.
The date, place and time are all included in a report. Hence options B, C and D are wrong.
This leaves option A. It states that the name of people affected by the event should be included. But, the option is a bit vague. There must be several people, or hardly a couple. The names are not the focus of the report, but the event. Hence the factor relevant to the event - date, place, time are to be included, and not the names of people.
So, option A is the correct option.
Question 6
1 / -0

Which of the following is true of a report?
Choose the best option:

A
You should use persuasive elements

B
You should use direct speech

C
You should base your report on facts

D
The facts in your report may not be accurate

Solution

Option C: A report's main function is to convey information. That information must be factual and accurate. Hence, the report must be based on facts and option C is correct.
Option A: A report is of many kinds and serves various purposes. It can't be persuasive in nature,. An essay is designed to convince the reader of a research or theory, and not a report.
Hence it can not use persuasive elements.
Option B: A report should not be written in direct speech. It is designed to lay out information, including someone else's speech. It is not written in first person point of view, hence it won't use direct speech.
Option D: The facts in a report must be accurate. Reports are written to inform others about something or someone. Hence it must be true.
So, option s A, B and D are wrong.
Question 7
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
A report should be written in the ________ tense.

A
present

B
past

C
future

D
conditional

Solution

Option B: A report is the detailed description of what happened, or it is about someone.
Hence it will be in the past tense, as the event has already taken place. Hence option B is correct.
Option A: It states an action that is happening at the moment. A report describes what has already happened.
Option C: The future tense describes an action that is yet to happen.
Option D: A conditional states a hypothetical action, which has not happened yet.
But, a report describes a past, real event.
Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
Question 8
1 / -0

Select the best option:
A report should not be which of the following?

A
Short and concise

B
Imaginative

C
Clear and easy to read

D
Accurate and up-to-date

Solution

Option B: A report is based on events that have happened, and is entirely based on facts. So, a report should not be imaginative, and option B is correct.
Option A: A report should be short and concise. It should include all the important events, and descriptive where necessary. It shouldn't waver off as an essay.
Option C: A report should be clear and easy to read. The purpose of the report is to describe an event, and not complicate it.
Option D: The events reported must be accurate and updated, so that it's relevant till the time it gets published or submitted.
Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the best option:
Which of the following is least likely to be included in a report?

A
Name of reporter

B
Recommendations

C

D
A salutation

Solution

Option A: In a report, the title is followed by the name of the reporter. Hence option A is wrong.
Option B: The reporter may make recommendations based on information in a report. It is most likely to be included.
Option C: In a research based report, the reporter includes evaluation of events that have taken place in the report.
Hence that are not least likely to be included, and options A, B and C are wrong.
This leaves option D: A salutation is used in letters, as a form of respect and greeting. It is not likely to be included in a report.
Hence option D is correct.
Question 10
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
A report should be _________ oriented.

A
reporter

B
reader

C
writer

D
publisher

Solution

Option B: A report is a short, concise document written for a particular purpose and audience. Its tone, style and structure depends on whether it's written for students, teachers or for an organisation. Hence, it should be reader-oriented and option B is correct.
Option A: A 'reporter' is 'a person who reports, especially one employed to report news, or conduct interviews for the media'. A report focuses on the report and should be catered for those reading the report.
Option C: The report should not be writer-oriented. The writer's function is to convey information, and himself isn't the focus.
Option D: The publisher's function is to issue books, journals and magazines. The report does not cater to the publisher, but the audience.
Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
