Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable adjective from the options given below:
    My house is _______ as yours.
    Solution
    The given sentence needs to be filled with the most suitable adjective. Looking at 'as yours' we can understand that the sentence is about a comparison between the size of houses and is in the positive degree. 'As' states equality here, which means both the houses are of the same size. Hence we can say 'as big as'. Thus the correct option is B - 'My house is as big as yours.' Option A is incorrect as we need 'as big as' to show the comparison. Option C is incorrect, as 'bigger' is the comparative adjective, whereas 'as big as' is used here to show the comparison. 'Bigger' can be used if someone's house was bigger than others. Option D is incorrect, as 'biggest' is the superlative adjective. Also, 'biggest as' doesn't make sense.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Select the correct degree of comparison in the following sentence:
    Raghu is taller than Robert but Rupinder is still ________.
    Solution
    Option A - 'Tall' is the positive degree of the adjective. We only use the positive degree when there is no comparison in the sentence, but as the sentence explains that Rupinder's height is more than anyone else's, we can't use 'tall' here. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Taller' is the comparative degree of the adjective. As the sentence explains that no one is as tall is Rupinder, we need the superlative degree of the adjective and not the comparative degree. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option C - 'More taller' is grammatically wrong. As 'taller' is already the comparative degree of the adjective, we can't use 'more' which is again used for comparisons. Thus option C is incorrect.
    Option D - 'The tallest' is the superlative degree of the adjective. We can use the superlative degree of the adjective here as the sentence explains the comparison of height between three people, but no one is as tall as Rupinder. Thus option D is the correct answer.
    'Raghu is taller than Robert but Rupinder is still the tallest.' 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Select the correct adjective from the given options.
    Everybody loves you because you are so ___________ all the time.
    Solution
    The context of the given sentence is to convey a particular quality of the listener 'you' that makes everybody love him/her.
    Option B - 'Cheerful' means 'joyful, happy or light-hearted' which is a quality everybody likes. Therefore, this adjective is suitable to complete the given sentence.
    On the other hand, Option A - 'Lugubrious' means 'gloomy, sad or depressed', Option C - 'Pensive' means 'thoughtful, dreamy or serious', Option D - 'Sad' means 'dull, unhappy or sorrowful'. None of these qualities are liked by everybody.
    Therefore, the appropriate adjective to complete the given sentence is Option B - Cheerful.
    The completed sentence, thus, becomes: Everybody loves you because you are so cheerful all the time.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    On the other hand, Option B - 'Exclusive' means 'dedicated or unshared', Option C - 'Fundamental' means 'basic or elementary', Option D - 'Interim' means 'provisional or temporary'. None of these adjectives describe an examination or its results.

    On the other hand, Option A - 'Meagre' means 'insufficient or inadequate', Option B - 'Inconsequential' means 'insignificant or unimportant', Option D - 'Insignificant' means 'unimportant'. These adjectives are not suitable to describe the given noun because the contribution cannot be small or unimportant if Mr. Kaushikreceived honours for it.
