Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Point out the nouns in the following sentence, and say whether they are Common, Proper, Collective or Abstract: 
    I often think of the happy days of childhood.
    Solution
    The name given to a quality, action or state considered apart from the object to which it belongs, is an abstract noun. A common noun is a general name for something.
    Days is a common name and hence it is a common noun. Childhood is an abstract noun as it describes the state of an individual.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Select the word that can be joined with the given noun to form a compound noun:
    College
    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. 
    From the options given, the word that is best described by 'college' is 
    Option A) Library as college library is a specific place in a college and when the words are compounded they are descriptive of each other. 
    Option B) vacation is incorrect because normally nobody refers to a vacation as a 'college' or a 'school vacation'. Vacation is mentioned as it is.
    Option C) Recess is incorrect because similar to vacation, recess is never mentioned with another noun like school or college. 
    Option D) artist is incorrect as it is not a noun used as a compound noun with college.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Say whether the underlined nouns are Common, Proper, Collective or Abstract:
    What is your verdict, gentlemen of the jury?
    Solution
    Abstract nouns are defined as a type of noun that you can't see, touch or otherwise directly experience by any of the human senses for example feelings and qualities. The name given to every person or thing of the same class or kind is a common noun. The name given to a collection of persons or things taken together and spoken of as one whole is a collective noun.

    Verdict is a decision or judgement, which is not tangible. Hence, it is an abstract noun. Gentlemen is a common name hence it is a common noun, and jury refers to a group of judges and hence is a collective noun.


  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Select the word that can be joined with the given noun to form a compound noun:
    Master
    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. 
    Example: Newspaper
    In the question, the noun given is 'master' which, from the given options, is almost always used with Option A) key. The master key is commonly used and describes a specific object which is the purpose of compound nouns and therefore Option A) is the correct answer.
    Option B) lock is incorrect as 'master lock' is never used. Option C) and D) are also incorrect as these two words are normally not compounded with the word 'master'.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable collective noun, choosing from the alternatives given below:
    You can put a ___________ of tools in that box.
    Solution
    In English grammar, collective nouns are words that are used to describe a group of people, animals or things. 

    The given sentence requires the word that describes a collection of tools. From the options given, 'box' is incorrect as the word is already mentioned in the sentence and it is not a collective noun; 'group' is used to indicate a collection of people similar to a crowd; 'number' is a singular collective noun and hence cannot be used with tools. Tools or instruments are collectively called as a 'set' and so the correct answer is option B).
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with a suitable collective noun, choosing from the alternatives given below:
    She brought a ________ of flowers on my birthday.
    Solution
    In English grammar, collective nouns are words that are used to describe a group of people, animals or things. 

    From the given options:
    A collection of flowers is called a bouquet. A collection of people is called a crowd. A collection of clothes is called a bundle. A collection of letters or cigarettes is called a packet. 
    The sentence given refers to a collection of flowers and therefore the correct option is A) bouquet.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct noun from the alternatives given below:
    You can show a driving licence to prove your _________.
    Solution
    The words given as options are: 
    Identify which means recognising someone or associating someone or something.
    Identifiable is an adjective that means recognisable or noticeable.
    Identified is a verb that means identifying or noticing something or someone.
    Identity is an abstract noun which means the fact or reality of being someone.
    The sentence talks about the driving license that is generally used to prove one's identity. Therefore, the correct answer is option D).
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct noun from the alternatives given below:
    We need a ____________ to help us understand this letter. It is written in Spanish.
    Solution
    The sentence talks about help needed to understand a letter that is written in Spanish. A person who helps translate i.e convert or help understand a language is called a translator. Therefore, the correct answer is option D).
    Option A) 'translate' is a verb, option B) 'translating' is the present continuous tense of the verb 'translate' and option C) 'translated' is the past tense of the verb 'translate.' Therefore, all these are incorrect answers.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank using the most appropriate option to form a compound noun:
    The __________ chimneys are the major source of air pollution.
    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. 

    From the given options, company is a term used for any organised commercial business; mill is used to describe a building that is equipped to make or produce something; shop is a building that is used to sell some product. A factory is a building that is used to manufacture or assemble something. To form a compound noun with chimneys, the most commonly used word is 'factory'. We never see a shop or a company have 'chimneys'. A mill may or may not be used with the word chimneys. Therefore, the most apt word that forms a compound noun with 'chimneys' is option A) factory.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct noun from the alternatives given below:
    Your passport shows your ______________.
    Solution
    In English grammar, an abstract noun describes something you cannot see, hear, touch, taste or smell. Examples of abstract nouns are feelings or emotions, states or attributes, concepts or events. Example: hatred, beauty, brilliance, culture, knowledge, leisure, hospitality etc.

    From the given words, native means someone who belongs to a place or is associated with a place due to his birth; national means belonging to a nation or something that is common to the whole nation; nationality means the status of belonging to a nation; nationalist is a person who believes in the independence of his country.
    The sentence given mentions a passport which is a proof of someone belonging to a particular nation. Therefore, the most apt word to fill in the blanks is nationality and so the correct option is option C).
