Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Form a noun from the given verb:
    Decide
    Solution
    The noun form of any verb is formed by suffixing either -ance or -ence to the verb. The noun form of the verb accept is: acceptance. Correct answer is option A.
    From the options, 'decision' is an abstract noun, formed from the given verb. For example, 'It is your decision to make.'. Hence option A is correct.
    'Decidedly' is an adverb (it doesn't mean the same as the given verb) and isn't a noun. Hence option B is incorrect.
    'Decideness' and 'decideful' aren't words, they don't exist; hence options C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Form a noun from the given verb:
    Angry
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answer, because 'anger' is an abstract noun form of the verb 'angry'. For example, 'His anger knew no bounds.'
    Option A is incorrect because the word 'angriness' does not exist.
    Option D: Similarly, 'angerful' isn't a word, hence option D is incorrect.
    Option B: 'Angrily' is an adverb that is formed from the given word, it isn't a noun, hence B is also incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Select the abstract noun from the options given.
    Solution
    Nouns are naming words. Abstract nouns are the nouns that can't be seen and touched. For example: anger, truth, danger etc.
    Option B - 'Cathedral' is a building for Christian worship. A building can be seen and touched. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Island' is a land surrounded by water, it can be seen and touched. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Continent' is a continuous expansion of land, which can be seen and touched. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'Length' is a measurement of something from top to bottom/end to end and it can not be seen and touched. Hence, we can say that 'length' is an abstract noun. Thus option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Select the abstract noun from the options given.
    Solution
    Nouns are naming words. Abstract nouns are the nouns that can't be seen and touched. For example: anger, truth, danger etc.
    Option B - 'Packet' is a container made of a paper or cardboard to store and keep things. A packet can be seen and touched. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Garden' is a piece of land used to grow flowers and vegetables, it can be seen and touched. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Angel' is a virtuous person who is very good to us. We can see and touch an angel (person). Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'Prosperity' is a state of being prosperous (wealthy) which can be experienced and not be seen and touched. Hence, we can say that 'prosperity' is an abstract noun. Thus option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate noun of the type specified in bracket.
    I expressed my deep __________ at his mother's death. (Abstract Noun)
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with an abstract noun, let's understand what an abstract noun is. A noun that can't be seen and touched is called an abstract noun. For example: I am so happy today. Here, 'happy' is an abstract noun as we can't see and touch 'happy'.
    Option A - 'Anger' is an emotion which can't be seen and touched. Though it is an abstract noun, we can't use it here. Since the sentence says 'mother's death', a person can't be angry. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Mercy' is a quality of kindness that makes you forgive someone. It is an emotion and can't be seen and touched, hence it is an abstract noun. We can't use 'mercy' here, as the sentence is about death and not pity/forgiveness. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Leniency' is an abstract noun which means to not be severe and not given strong punishments and judgement. As the sentence is about expressing something, we can't use 'leniency'. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Sorrow' is an expression and an emotion, which means to express grief. It is an abstract noun and can be used here to express grief on the occasion of death. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
    'I expressed my deep sorrow at his mother's death.' 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Replace the underlined phrase with a collective noun:
    Many policemen are looking into the matter.
    Solution
    The collective noun to describe a group of policemen is 'posse' or 'squad'. Hence, option B is the correct answer. 
    'Team' is a collective noun used to describe a group of people who work together. It also represents a group of athletes or players. 'Gang' is a collective noun used to describe a group of labourers or thieves. 'Pack' is a collective noun used to describe a number of rats, wolves or thieves. Options A, C and D are incorrect as the word, 'team', 'gang' and 'pack' do not describe 'many policemen. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Replace the following underlined phrase with appropriate collective noun: 
    The people who acted in the film were all members of a single family.
    Solution
    The people who act in a film or play are referred to as 'actors'. Hence, the phrase given in option C is the correct answer. 
    The word, 'character' refers to a person who is represented in a film or play. However, it does not refer to a person who acts in the film or play. Hence, option A is incorrect. 
    The phrase 'guys of the film' and 'fellows of the film' do not convey any meaning. Hence, options B and D are incorrect.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Change the verb given in the bracket to a suitable noun :
    You need a lot of _________ (concentrate) when you are studying. 
    Solution
    The verb, 'concentrate' means 'to focus all one's attention on a particular object or activity'. Its noun form is 'concentration'. Hence, option A is correct. 
    'Concentrating' is the present continuous tense form of the verb. 'Concentrate' is the simple present tense form of the verb. Hence, options B and C are incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect as option A is correct.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate noun of the type specified in bracket.
    I saw a little ____________ shivering in the rain. (Common noun)
    Solution
    In order to fill in the given blank with a common noun, let's understand what a common noun is. A common noun is a noun which denotes the class of objects, concepts, places or people. For example: I am a girl. Here, 'girl' is a common noun as 'girl' represents not one but a group (females).
    Option B - 'Rahul' is the name of a person and hence it is a proper noun. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Neha' is the name of a person and hence it is a proper noun. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Army' is a collective noun as it represents a group of soldiers. Hence, option D is incorrect.
    Option A - 'Boy' is a common noun as it represents the male gender and not a specific/ proper noun. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
    'I saw a little boy shivering in the rain.'
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate noun of the type specified in bracket.
    ________ was a great king who will always be remembered by the people of our country. (Proper Noun)
    Solution
    In order to fill in the blank with a proper noun, let's understand what a proper noun is. Specific names of people, places or things are called proper nouns. For example, Raj loves chocolates. Here, 'Raj' is the name of a specific man and hence 'Raj' is a proper noun.
    Option A - 'Sita' is the name of a female. Though it is a proper noun, we can't use 'Sita' here, as the sentence is about a king and not a queen. Hence, option A is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Rajputas' is a collective noun, as it represents a sub-caste. Hence, option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Soldier' is a common noun. Here, the name of a specific soldier is not given, hence it is not a proper noun. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Akbar' is the name of a person and he was a great king as well. 'Akbar' is a proper noun. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
    'Akbar was a great king who will always be remembered by the people of our country.'
