Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    A: Who cooks dinner at your house?
    B: It _____ by my elder sister.
    Solution
    In the answer given by 'B' to 'A', a verb is missing. Thus, the answer must be a verb. Further, the doer of the action, that is, the one who cooks(the elder sister), is becoming the object from the subject. Thus, the answer is in the passive voice. 'cooks' in 'A' indicates that 'A' is in simple present tense. When the verb is in the simple present tense in the active voice, the verb in the passive voice is in the form of "finite form of the verb 'to be' in the same tense + past participle of the main verb".
    Option A is correct. 'is cooked' is in the form of "finite form of the verb 'to be' in the same tense + past participle of the main verb". Thus, it is correct answer.
    Option B is incorrect. In 'is cooking', although a finite form of the verb 'to be' is present, 'cooking' is the present participle form and not the past participle form of 'cook'. Thus, it is grammatically incorrect.
    Option C is incorrect. 'has cooked' is in the present perfect tense, and the present perfect tense is not used in the passive voices of sentences unless the auxiliary has is followed by 'been'. Thus, it is grammatically incorrect
     Option A is incorrect. In 'can cook', neither 'can' nor 'cook' is grammatically correct. This is because, 'can' is not a finite form of the verb 'to be' and 'cook' is also not the past participle form of the verb cook. Thus, it is incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    _________ is the price of this blouse?
    Solution
    Options A and D: When the question requires a choice between a number of items, 'which' is more formal, compared to 'what'.
    The given question does not require a choice. It simply asks for the price of something 'blouse'.
    Hence option A is correct and D is incorrect.
    Option B: 'Who' refers to a person and does not address a thing 'price'.
    Option C: 'How' refers to the manner or value of something. If 'how' were to be used in this sentence, it would be followed by a quantifier 'much'. Otherwise, this word isn't suitable here.
    Hence options B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    __________ is heavier, a kilo of gold or a kilo of feather? 
    Solution
    Options A and B: When the question requires a choice between a number of items, 'which' is more formal, compared to 'what'.
    The given question requires a choice between the weight of one kilo of 'gold' and 'feather' each. Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
    Option C: 'How much' asks about the quantity or value of something. It does not address the choice, which is the question here.
    Option D: 'Who' refers to a person. It does not address things (like gold and feathers).
    Hence options C and D are incorrect.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    _________ lives in that old house? 
    Solution
    Option B: 'Who' refers to a person, and is relevant here. The given question also asks about a person who "lives in that old house". Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'What' asks about some thing, rather than some person.
    Option C: 'Which' is used when a choice is presented between two things. In the given question, there isn't any choice.
    Option D: 'How' asks about the manner or way something is done. This word is hence not relevant here.
    So, options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    "Where do you live?" my boss asked.
    My boss wanted to know where _______.
    Solution

    The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported speech).In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are repeated. In indirect/reported speech, the exact meaning is expressed but not necessarily using the original speaker's exact words. Pronouns and possessive adjectives usually change from first or second person to the third person except when the speaker is reporting his own words. Sometimes a noun can be inserted to avoid doubt.

    When we turn direct questions and exclamations into indirect speech, they are converted to affirmative statement . ( ? and ! is not used).

    Option E is correct as when we convert the given direct question to indirect speech, the question word is repeated, the simple present tense is changed to simple past, and you to I.

     The other options are wrong as do, did, live, and had can't be used.

    The correct answer is E)I lived

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    "Whose birthday is it?" said Jane.
    Jane asked whose birthday _____.
    Solution
    Since the sentence is in the simple present tense, it is important to change it into the simple past tense while converting it to reported speech. Hence option C is the correct answer. 
    Options A, B, D and E are incorrect because they are not in the simple past tense. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
    "I spoke to Jane last week," she said.
    She said _____________________
    Solution

    The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported speech).In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are repeated. In indirect/reported speech, the exact meaning is expressed but not necessarily using the original speaker's exact words. Pronouns and possessive adjectives usually change from first or second person to the third person except when the speaker is reporting his own words. Sometimes a noun can be inserted to avoid doubt.

    When we turn direct questions and exclamations into indirect speech, they are converted to an affirmative statement . ( ? and ! is not used).

    Option C is correct as when we convert the given direct sentence to indirect speech, the simple past tense is changed to past perfect tense, last week to a week before, and I to she.

     The other options are wrong as spoke,last week,I, and she spoke can't be used.

    The correct answer is C)she had spoken to Jane a week before.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    How much money _______ in the bank? [Intermediate]
    Solution
    The given sentence is interrogative. In interrogative sentences, the verb comes before the subject. (Unlike in assertive sentences, where the subject comes first, and then the verb.)
    Option B: 'Has he got' is of the form: auxiliary verb (has) + subject (he) + main verb (got).
    When the verb has two parts, the auxiliary and the main verb, then the auxiliary comes before the subject, which is then followed by the main verb.
    This form is accurate for the given sentence, hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'He has got' is of the assertive form (subject + verb) and is not suitable for an interrogative.
    Options C and D: Similarly, these forms 'he had' and 'he did' are used in assertive sentences. They don't apply here.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    _________ shall I give you, tea or lemonade? 
    Solution
    Option A: 'Where' asks about place or location. The given sentence asks for an option between two things. Hence this question word isn't suitable here.
    Option B: 'How' asks about the way or manner. The given sentence does not focus on manner, hence B is incorrect.
    Option D: 'Why' asks for a reason. This word isn't relevant here. Hence D is also incorrect.
    Option C: 'What' asks for information specifying something. It relates to the given sentence. Hence option C is correct.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
    _________ is the highest mountain in the world?
    Solution
    Options A and B: When the question requires a choice from a list of items, 'which' is more formal, compared to 'what'.
    The given question asks about the highest mountain in the world, which is one mountain from a choice of mountains. Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
    Option C: 'Who' addresses a person, and not a thing (mountain).
    Option D: 'How' addresses the manner in which something is done, or the state of something. It does not indicate a choice or degree.
    Hence options C and D are incorrect.
