Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the feminine form of the given masculine noun.

    Henry
    Solution
    Henrietta is a name for females. It is derived from the male name Henry. Thus option A is the correct answer.
    Option B,C and D are incorrect words. Hence these options can be eliminated as incorrect answers.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Select the correct sound corresponding to the given noun:
    The ___________ of coins.
    Solution

    ‘Clink’ is a sharp ringing sound that is produced when two metals strike against one another. In the given context, coins are made of metal; therefore the sound produced when they strike against one another is termed ‘clinking’. Hence option D is correct. On the other hand, ‘chime’ cannot be used here because ‘chime’ is a series of melodious ringing sounds, generally produced when a bell or metal bar is tuned. When the coins come into contact with one another the sound produced is not melodious, also it is a single sharp ringing sound and not a series of sounds. Thus option A is incorrect. ‘Chatter’ is a series of short, quick high-pitched sounds. This is usually associated with birds or monkeys. Since the noun in the given sentence is ‘coins’, ‘chatter’ cannot be used. Thus option B is incorrect. Similarly, ‘creak’ is a squeaking sound that is produced when pressure is applied while walking or moving along a surface. Coins don’t produce a squeaky sound, hence option C is incorrect. 

  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Select the correct sound corresponding to the given noun:
    The ________ of crockery.
    Solution

    ‘Rattle’ is a series of continuous short, sharp sounds which is produced when metal or porcelain clink with one another. In the given context, the noun is ‘crockery’ therefore ‘rattle’ is the apt answer. Hence option A is correct. On the other hand, ‘rumble’ is a continuous deep, resonant sound that can be compared to a distant thunder. This cannot be used to speak about the clattering sound produced by the ‘crockery’. Thus option B is incorrect. Similarly ‘rustle’ and ‘crackle’ cannot be used in the sentence. ‘Rustle’ is a soft muffled crackling sound caused by the movement of dry paper or leaves. It is a soft sound that is caused by the movement of frail things, like the leaves. Whereas ‘crackle’ is a rapid succession of short sharp noises, like “the crackle of the fire”. ‘Crockery’ doesn’t produce a rustling or crackling sound. Hence options C and D are incorrect. 

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Select the correct sound corresponding to the given noun:
    The __________ of shoes.
    Solution
    ‘Creak’ is a squeaking sound that is produced when pressure is applied while walking or moving along a surface. Since the shoes apply pressure to the surface while walking the squeaky sound produced is called a ‘creak’. Thus option B is correct. On the other hand, ‘chattering’ is to make a series of short, quick high-pitched sounds. This is usually associated with birds or monkeys. Therefore option A is incorrect. Similarly, ‘babbling’ cannot be used in the given context because ‘babbling’ is a series of continuous murmuring sounds which is generally linked to water flowing over rocks. Since the noun in the sentence is ‘shoes,’ option C is incorrect. ‘Crinkle’ is a soft muffled crackling sound caused by slight movements. It is similar to rustle and is used to speak about minute movements. Thus option D is incorrect. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Replace the following underlined phrase with appropriate collective noun: 
    The people in general are fickle.
    Solution
    The word, 'public' refers to ordinary people in general. Hence, option A can replace the underlined phrase and is the correct answer. 
    An 'individual' is a single human being as distinct from a group. The word, 'individuals' is the plural of this noun. 
    The word, 'human' refers to a person. 'Humans' is the plural form of this noun.
    The word, 'mortal' refers to a human being subject to death, as opposed to a divine being. 'Mortals' is the plural form of this noun.
    As the words in options B, C and D do not mean the same as  'people in general'. Hence, these options are incorrect.  

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the feminine form of the noun: comedian
    Solution
    Correct answer is option A. The feminine form of comedian is comedienne; 
    Options B, C and D are incorrect as there is no word such as comedianna or comedianess or comediatrix in the English language.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Replace the following underlined phrases with appropriate collective nouns: 
    The people who work in this company are all trained people.
    Solution
    The word, 'staff' is a collective noun used to refer to all the people employed by a particular company. This is the most appropriate collective noun which can be used to replace the underlined phrase. Hence, option A is correct. 
    The word, 'team' is a collective noun usually used to refer to a group of players forming one side of a game/sport. It can also refer to a group of people working on a particular task/assignment in the workplace. However, it cannot refer to all the people who work in a company. Within a company, there can be multiple teams. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    The word, 'organisation' means 'A social unit of people that is structured and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals'. A company is also sometimes referred to as organisation. Hence, this word cannot replace the underlined phrase and option C is incorrect. 
    The word, 'crew' means 'a group of people who work on and operate a ship, aircraft, etc'. Hence the phrase, 'the crew' given in option D cannot substitute the underlined phrase. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Identify the concrete noun(s) in the following sentence:
    Silence is golden.
    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 "Silence" is an abstract noun. Silence cannot be seen/ smelt/ heard/ touched/ tasted. It is a feeling. Hence, this is not the correct answer. 
    Option B:  The word "is" is a verb and not a noun. Hence, this is not the correct answer. 
    Option C: The word "golden" is an adjective which qualifies the word " Silence". Hence, this is not the correct answer. 
    Option D: None of the above words are concrete noun.s Hence, this is the correct option. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the uncountable noun in the below sentence:
    Please buy one packet of milk, two chocolates and some cakes on your way back.
    Solution
    Countable nouns are those nouns which can be counted. Uncountable nouns are usually abstract ideas/ qualities/ physical objects which are not countable due to their form. 
    Option A: The word "one" is an adjective, not a noun.
    Option B: The word "milk" is a concrete noun. However, due to its physical properties, it is an uncountable noun.  
    Options C and D i.e "chocolates" and "cakes' are both concrete nouns, which are countable. 
    Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Replace the following underlined phrase with appropriate collective noun: 
    The plane crashed because the people who flew the plane did not know each other's language and lacked co-ordination.
    Solution
    The word, 'crew' means 'a group of people who work on and operate a ship, aircraft, etc'. Hence the phrase, 'the crew' given in option B is the correct collective noun which can substitute the underlined phrase. 
    The word, 'gang' is a collective noun which refers to a group of slaves, labourers and thieves. The word, 'squad' is a collective noun which refers to a group of soldiers, players and aeroplanes. The word, 'corps' is a collective noun which refers to a group of soldiers in the army, working under a common direction. It also refers to a group of giraffes. 
    Given the above meanings, the words in options A, C and D cannot replace the underlined phrase. Hence, these options are incorrect.
