Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Select the correct sound corresponding to the given noun:
The ________ of an explosion.

A
Twang

B
Whir

C
Burst

D
Blast

Solution

‘Blast’ is a single loud explosive sound. Since an explosion is an outburst that causes a loud impact ‘blast’ would be the apt answer. Hence option D is correct. Whereas ‘burst,’ though used to denote a sudden explosive sound, is a short and less forceful sound when compared to ‘blast’, like in the case of a bursting balloon. As the noun in the sentence is ‘an explosion’, ‘burst’ cannot be used to encapsulate the magnitude of the noise created. Thus option C is incorrect. On the other hand, ‘twang’ is a strong ringing sound that is usually created while pulling the strings of a musical instrument or bow. Hence option A is incorrect. ‘Whir’ cannot be used to denote for an explosion because ‘whir’ is a low continuous sound which is not similar to the loud noise produced by an explosion. Therefore option B is incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the correct noun / noun phrase from the alternatives given below:
Mr. Sehgal, ___________, is moving out next week.

A
One neighbour

B
Neighbour

C
One of our neighbours

D
The neighbours

Solution

The sentence talks about one person, Mr. Sehgal, who is moving out next week. From the options given, options B) and D) are grammatically incorrect as we need to use a word or words that are specific and singular collective and so are not the right options.
Between A) and C), option C) is more grammatically correct because saying 'one of our neighbours' is more appropriate than saying 'one neighbour'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) one of our neighbours.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with appropriate option.
My hens lay _________ eggs everyday.

A
A large amount of

B
Several

C
Little

D
A little

Solution

The sentence mentions the hen laying 'eggs' everyday.
Eggs are plural countable nouns. We use little in case of singular uncountable nouns and so option C and D are incorrect. Option A) a large amount of is also used in case of uncountable nouns and so it is also incorrect.
Therefore, the most apt answer is option B) several.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the countable / uncountable noun from the alternatives given below:
There are _________ fish in the pond.

A
Plenty of

B
A large amount of

C
A little

D
Any

Solution

We use 'little' with singular uncountable nouns and 'few' with plural countable nouns. 'Plenty' is used as a quantifier in cases of singular countable and uncountable nouns whereas 'large amount' is used in plural nouns.

The sentence given requires the use of the correct form of a countable noun as fish can be counted. Since the sentence mentions 'fish' and not 'fishes', the correct quantifier to use is 'plenty' which is used in singular cases and not 'large amount' which is used in plural cases. Therefore, option B) is incorrect. option C) a little is also not used in cases where the objects can be counted. Option D) is not specific and so is also incorrect The correct answer is option A) plenty of.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fiancé

A
Wife

B
Fiancite

C
Fiancess

D

Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'Wife' is the feminine form of the noun 'husband'.
Options B and C: The words 'fiancite' and 'fiancess' do not exist in standard English language.
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.

A

B

A

B

C
Produced

D
Produceable

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: 'Producing' is a present participle that expresses the action 'to produce' in a continuous tense. It's not a noun.
Option C: 'Produced' is a past participle or an adjective, but it's not a noun.
Option D: 'Produceable' is an adjective that describes the ability of something to produce. It's not a noun.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.

B
Disappointment

C
Disappointing

D
Disappointer

Solution

We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and vocabulary.
Options A and C are verb forms of the given verb. Hence, these two options can be eliminated as incorrect answer.
Option D is a misspelt word. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option B is abstract noun of the given verb. Thus it is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Identify the concrete noun in the following sentence:
I have a lot of respect for my teachers.

A
I

B
respect

C
my

D
teachers

Solution

Concrete nouns are nouns which can be experienced through one/more of our five senses viz. sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste.
Option A: The word "I" is a pronoun and not a noun. Hence this is not the correct answer.
Option B: The option "respect" is an abstract noun. We cannot see/ smell/ hear/ touch/ taste respect. It is a feeling. Hence, it is not a concrete noun.
Option C: The word "my" is a possessive adjective. Hence this is not the correct answer.
Option D : The word " teachers" refers to a more than one persons who teach. We can see our teachers. Hence this is a concrete noun.
Tip: The word "teachers" is a common noun. All common nouns are concrete nouns. This is another way to find the answer.
