Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
A ___________ is a useful way to record the important events that have occurred in an area or in a day.

A
notice

B
article

C
report

D
character sketch

Solution

Option C: A report is 'a spoken or written account of something that one has observed or investigated'.
The given sentence mentions 'record important events that have occurred in an area or in a day'. For example, a news report.
Hence the answer is 'report' and option C is correct.

Option A: A notice is 'a written or formal information, notification or fact that is put up in a public place for people to read'.
Option B: An article is 'a piece of writing written for a large audience. The main motive behind writing one is to publish in newspapers and magazines so as to educate the readers.' It can be as short as one page or several pages long.
It does not agree with the words 'recording important events'.
Option D: A character sketch is 'a description of a person's qualities'.
These options serve different purposes and do not agree with the given sentence.
Hence options A, B and D are wrong.
Question 2
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blank:
The main purpose of a report is to _______________________ .

A
Record emotions

B
Analyze a problem

C
Persuade readers

D
Convey information

Solution

Option D: A report is a short, concise document written for a particular purpose and audience. Its main purpose is to lay out facts. Hence, as mentioned in option D, a report conveys information to a particular audience. Hence option D is correct.
Option A: A report records events and not emotions.
Option B: The main purpose of a report is 'to give a spoken or written account of something or someone'. It can analyse a problem too, but that's not essential.
Option C: A report can be persuasive in nature, but its a particular type of report. All reports are not persuasive, and hence it;s not the main purpose.
So, options A, B and C are wrong.
Question 3
1 / -0

Which of the following may sometimes be included at the end of a report?
Select the best option.

A
Warm regards

B
Signature

C
Thank you

D
None of the above

Solution

A report is designed to convey information to a particular type of audience. It can be for school students or for citizens of a country reading a news report. The report ends with a conclusion and not with a closing salutation.
Options A, B and C contain the closings 'warm regards', 'signature' and 'thank you'. All three of these are appropriate for a letter and not a report.
Hence these options are wrong.
Option D is correct since none of the other options are appropriate for a report.
Question 4
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill in the blanks:
The conclusion of a report should ____________________.

A
be based on facts

B
only contain recommendations

C
be based on reader-opinion

D
be a restatement of the event

Solution

Option A: A report's function is to convey information. Hence it should be based on facts. The same way, one must conclude the report based on facts. Hence option A is correct.
Option B: When a report's purpose is to recommend, then it ends with recommendations. If the purpose of the report is to give information about something or someone, then the recommendation isn't required. Hence this option isn't suitable.
Option C: The report is written for the reader, and by the writer. Hence, the reader's opinion cannot be recorded by the writer.
Option D: The conclusion can end by restating the event, or summarizing it. But, it shouldn't summarize it. Also, it's not necessary (should) to end a report with a restatement.
Hence options B, C and D are wrong.
Question 5
1 / -0

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

A
It should be 3 paragraphs long

B
It should be a single paragraph long

C
It should analyze the event/incident in detail

D
It should summarize the entire event

Solution

Option C: The body of a report contains the main content covering the event or incident. Hence it must be in detail, covering all the important points and including its analysis. Hence option C is correct.
Option A and B: The body of the report is not limited to length. What matters is the content and quality. Hence options A and B are wrong.
Option D: Usually, the report's conclusion includes the summary of the report, and not the body. The body contains matter crucial to that event, so how would contain the summary as well?
Hence option D is also wrong.
Question 6
1 / -0

You should not try to do which of the following while writing a report?

A
inform the reader about an event

B
state the sequence of events

C
base the report on facts

D
persuade the reader to do something

Solution

Options A, B and C: A report is written to convey information about a particular topic. Hence, it must be based on facts.
While reporting an event, it must lay out information on that event, by stating what happened and other importance details covering that event.
These options, hence, state things that should be done. The question asks for the option that should not be done while writing a report.
Hence options A, B and C are wrong.
Option D: A report should not be persuasive, but merely informative.
Hence option D is correct.
Question 7
1 / -0

While writing an exposition, one must be careful not to do which of the following?

A
Use complex sentences

B
Reveal the plot of the story

C
Write briefly

D
Provide useful information

Solution

An exposition is a literary device used to introduce background information or a backstory of a character or plot.
Option B: An exposition describes a scene, character or plot and hence reveals more information about it.
But, it does not reveal the entire plot of the story. The function of an exposition is to help the reader understand the plot/character better, and not reveal the story itself. Hence option B is correct.
Option A: An exposition can use complex sentences.
Options C and D: An exposition should preferably be brief, and it should provide information useful to the story.
Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
Question 8
1 / -0

Which of the following should be mentioned at the end of the report?

A
Date

B
Reporter's name

C
Headline

D
Key details
Question 9
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

[passage-header]Read the excerpt given below and answer the question that follows.[/passage-header]I have this fear. It causes my legs to shake. I break out in a cold sweat. I start jabbering to anyone who is nearby. As thoughts of certain death run through my mind, the world appears a precious, treasured place. I imagine my own funeral, then shrink back at the implications of where my thoughts are taking me. My stomach feels strange. My palms are clammy. I am terrified of heights.Of course, its not really a fear of being in a high place. Rather, it is the view of a long way to fall, of rocks far below me and no firm wall between me and the edge. My sense of security is screamingly absent. There are no guardrails, flimsy though I picture them, or other safety devices. I can rely only on my own surefootednessor lack thereof.

...view full instructions

Identify the purpose of the above excerpt:

A
To represent factual information

B
To capture reader's attention by creating a sense of mystery

C
highlight cause and effect

D
To present an argument

Solution

The given passage is about the fears of the writer. It explains that the writer has a fear of heights, he starts jabbering when someone is nearby. He imagines his own death.

Question 10
1 / -0

The given text is part of a letter exchanged between siblings. Identify the best version of the underlined sentence that suits the purpose of the letter:

Dear Joey,

It's been such a long period of time since I last wrote to you.

B
A great period of time has passed since I last wrote to you.

C
It's been ages since I last wrote to you.

D
No change

Solution

An informal letter is a personal letter written to friends and relatives. So, a sibling too would write an informal letter.
But, the given line is rather formal in tone and style. It does not sound like something that siblings would say to each other. It must be changed. Hence, option D is wrong.
Option C: This line is informal in tone and style. It definitely sounds appropriate for an exchange between siblings. It suits the purpose of the letter. Hence option C is correct.
Options A and B: These lines too sound formal. It does not sound like a personal exchange between siblings. Hence, options A and B are wrong.
