Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Identify the noun:
    People are strange.
    Solution
    Nouns are words that name people, things, places, animals, etc.
    Nouns function as the subject, object and so on in a sentence. As a subject it performs an action.
    Option A: The word 'people' names human beings in general. It functions as the subject of the given sentence.
    Hence option A is correct.
    Option B: ''Strange' is an adjective that modifies the noun 'people'. Hence B is wrong.
    Option C is wrong because B: 'strange' is not a noun.
    Option D is wrong because the answer lies in A.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the noun in the given sentence from the options given below:
    All you need is love.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    In the given sentence LOVE is the abstract noun as it describes a feeling.
    The remaining options are incorrect because:
    ALL is an adverb and a predeterminer.
    NEED is a verb.
    Hence Option B is the correct answer.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify the noun:
    They hate us for our freedom.
    Solution
    Nouns are words that name people, things, places, animals, etc.
    Option B: The word 'freedom' refers to the power or right to speak, act, etc. It's a noun since it names this power. Hence option B is correct.
    Option A: 'Hate' is a verb that expresses an action. It's not a noun and hence A is wrong.
    Option C is wrong because A: 'hate' is not a noun.
    Option D is wrong because the answer lies in B.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using the most appropriate option to form a compound noun:
    I find the _________ bank an ideal location for harbouring imaginative ideas.
    Solution

    Compound nouns are a combination of two nouns in which the first noun is what kind of a person or object it is or what the purpose of the noun is whereas the second noun identifies the first noun. 

    The sentence mentions 'bank' as an ideal location for harbouring imaginative ideas. From the given options, option D) river forms a compound noun with bank to form 'river bank' which is the correct answer. We never use 'water', 'stream' or 'brook' along with 'bank' to form a compound noun and therefore they are incorrect answers.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Select the word that can be joined with the given noun to form a compound noun:
    Passenger
    Solution

    Compound nouns are a combination of two nouns in which the first noun is what kind of a person or object it is or what the purpose of the noun is whereas the second noun identifies the first noun. 

    They are used commonly in daily life. The given word 'passenger' is commonly used in relation to 'trains'. Therefore, the correct answer is option B) Train.
    Option A) 'Cart' is incorrect because the compounded noun 'passenger cart' is not a specific thing or mode of transport. 
    The same goes with Option C) 'Cycle' as there cannot be a passenger cycle since it is not a mass transporting vehicle. 
    Option D) coach is close to a train but when we refer to passenger, we normally speak about the entire train rather than a single coach in it. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Select the correct noun form of the given verb:
    (propose) Their _________ came as a big surprise.
    Solution
    Nouns are words that name people, things, places, animals, etc.
    'Propose' expresses the action of making an offer to someone for marriage.
    Option D: 'Proposal' is the noun form of the verb 'propose'. It names 'an offer of marriage'. Hence option D is correct.

    Option A: 'Propose' is a verb and not a noun.
    Option B: 'Proposed' is a past tense verb.
    Option C: 'Proposing' is a present participle that expresses the action 'to propose' in a continuous tense. It's not a noun.
    Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Select the word that can be joined with the given noun to form a compound noun:
    Tennis
    Solution
    Compound nouns are a combination of two nouns in which the first noun is what kind of a person or object it is or what the purpose of the noun is whereas the second noun identifies the first noun. 
    In the game of tennis, there are a few compounded nouns that are used specifically in the game. From the options given, the word that 'tennis' best describes is Option A) Court. The other options given are used in different sports or other areas for e.g Option B) ground- playground; Option C) field- football or rugby field; Option D) pitch- cricket pitch. 
    Therefore options B), C) and D) are incorrect answers.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Select the correct noun form of the given verb:
    (produce) Oil ___________ takes place in this factory.
    Solution
    Nouns are words that name people, things, places, animals, etc.
    Option B: 'Production' is the noun form of the verb 'produce'. It names 'the action of making or manufacturing products'.
    Hence option B is correct.

    Option A: 'Produced' is a past participle or an adjective, but it's not a noun.
    Option C: 'Produce' as a noun refers to agricultural products collectively, whereas the sentence speaks about oil production. Hence this option is incorrect.
    Option D: 'Producing' is a present participle that expresses the action 'to produce' in a continuous tense. It's not a noun.
    Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using the most appropriate option to form a compound noun:
    Press the _________ alarm. I see some sparks in the circuit.
    Solution
    Compound nouns are a combination of two nouns in which the first noun is what kind of a person or object it is or what the purpose of the noun is whereas the second noun identifies the first noun. 
    In the given sentence, the second part indicates 'some sparks' which point towards a possibility of fire. From the given options, the noun that best describes the alarm is option C) 'fire' to form 'fire alarm'. Options A) , B) and D) do not correctly describe the alarm in context of the sentence and therefore are incorrect answers.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Select the correct noun form of the given verb:
    (disappoint) Book early to avoid __________.
    Solution
    Nouns are words that name people, things, places, animals, etc.
    Option A: 'Disappointment' is the noun form of the verb 'disappoint'. It names 'the sadness caused by not fulfilling an expectation'.
    Hence option A is correct.

    Option B: 'Disappointing' can be a present participle (that expresses the action 'to disappoint' in a continuous tense) as well as an adjective (that describes a noun as being disappointing). It's not a noun.
    Option C: 'Disappointed' is also a past participle or an adjective, but it's not a noun.
    Option D: 'Disappoint' is a verb and not a noun.
    Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
