Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable adjective:
The child artist drew _______ attention to the problem of child labour.

A
particular

B
special

C
crucial

D
important

Solution

The context of the given sentence is that extra attention was drawn by the child artist. Option B - 'Special' means 'noteworthy or remarkable' which perfectly suits the noun 'attention'.
On the other hand, Option A - 'Particular' means 'specific', Option C - 'Crucial' means 'critical or serious', Option D - 'Important' means 'dominant or supreme'. None of these adjectives are suitable to describe the noun 'attention'.
Therefore, the suitable adjective is Option B - 'Special'.
The completed sentence, thus, becomes: The child artist drew special attention to the problem of child labour.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
A living room is usually __________ than the kitchen.

A
bigger

B
the bigger

C
biggest

D
very big

Solution

The word 'than' is used in sentences of the comparative degree, where one thing or group is compared to another. The correct option should also be of the comparative degree.
Option A: 'Bigger' is a comparative adjective. It means that the living room is larger in size (bigger) compared to the kitchen. Hence option A is correct.
Option B: 'The bigger' should be followed by a noun or pronoun, because 'the' and 'bigger' both modify the noun that follows. 'The bigger room', or 'the bigger one of the two'. In this sentence, the adjective comes after the noun "living room". Hence this option isn't right.
Option C: 'Biggest' is an adjective of the superlative degree. It is used when the quality described is of the highest degree (more than two individuals/groups). It isn't relevant here, since the quality 'big' is compared between two things. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Big' is of the positive degree. It does not indicate any comparison, and simply describes the quality of one thing 'living room' (without expressing that quality in relation to another 'kitchen'). Hence option C is incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
I felt ill on Saturday, but I felt ________ on Sunday.

A
worse

B
badly

C
worst

D
None of the above

Solution

The given sentence expresses a comparison between how the person 'I' felt on Saturday and Sunday. The word 'ill' is an adjective whose comparative form is 'worse'.
Option A: 'Worse' is a comparative adjective form of 'ill' and completes the sentence. Hence A is correct.
Option B: 'Badly' is an adverb and does not describe the state of being 'felt'. Also, it isn't the comparative form of 'ill'. Hence B is incorrect.
Option C: 'Worst' is a superlative adjective which would be used if there were more than two things to compare.
(For e.g. I felt ill on Friday, worse on Saturday and worst on Sunday.')
Hence option C is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Trains in London are more crowded _____ in Paris.

A
that

B
as

C
than

D
like

Solution

Option C 'than' is the correct option to complete the sentence. 'Than' is used when a comparison is being made between two things, persons or places. Here, a comparison is being made between trains in London and Paris. The sentence shows that London has more crowded trains while Paris has lesser crowded trains. Options A) B) and D) cannot be selected as they do not make such a comparison.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
The whale is ___________ of all living mammals.

A
the largest

B
largest

C
the largest which is

D
larger than

Solution

Option A: 'The largest' indicates the superlative degree of the sentence.
The given sentence is in superlative degree, because the whale is compared (in terms of size) with all other mammals.
('Of' in this sentence means 'out of', the whale is a part of the group 'living mammals', where the whale has the largest size.)
Hence option A is correct.
Option B: 'Largest' is an adjective of the superlative degree. Adjectives of this degree are mostly preceded by 'the'. Since the word is missing here, option B is incorrect.
Option C: 'The largest which is' is grammatically incorrect, because 'which' generally introduces a clause/phrase. But here, the words that follow 'of all living mammals' do not form a coherent phrase.
Option D: 'Larger than' is of the comparative degree. It compares two things, like 'the whale is larger than the shark'. But here, the comparison is between one thing 'whale' among a group 'of all living mammals'.
Hence, this option isn't correct.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable expression:
A dozen is ________ twenty.

A
almost the same as

B
half as much as

C
much more than

D
less than

Solution

Option A: This option means that a dozen (twelve) is the same as twenty, which is mathematically incorrect.
Option B: 'Half as much as' means the half of twenty, which is ten. It does not form a logical statement here.
Option C: 'Much more than' means that twelve is more than twenty, which is wrong.
These options do not state facts, hence A, B and C are incorrect.
Option D: 'Less than' is vague, compared to the other options, but it states the truth, the truth being that a dozen is less than twenty. Hence option D is correct.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word:
Are you as tall ________ your brother?

A
like

B
as

C
than

D
more

Solution

We use as + adjective/adverb + as to make comparisons when the things we are comparing are equal in some way. Similarly in this case two things are compared in such a way, to check they are in same level or not. The rule itself says we are supposed to use 'as' after the adjective or adverb. The adjective over here is "tall". Thus, the answer would be option B.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
__________ people came than I expected.

A
Other

B
Fewer

C
Another

D
Few

Solution

The given sentence expresses a comparison between the number of people that came and the number of people that were expected. Hence, the adjective that is to be used must be in the comparative degree.
Option B: 'Fewer' is an adjective in the comparative degree and agrees to the sentence in meaning. Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Other' is not a comparative adjective. Moreover, the word does not complete the sentence in meaning. Hence this isn't the correct option.
Option C: 'Another' modifies a singular noun, or a collective noun (another person, another group). It does not modify plural nouns like 'people'. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Few' is an adjective in the positive degree. It does not express the required comparison. Hence D is incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Jessica's as tall _____ her mother.

A
than

B
like

C
more

D
as

Solution

A positive degree of adjectives is the base form of the adjective or adverb. It does not show comparison. In this sentence, no comparison is being done or the blank needs a positive degree of the adjective which would not show any comparison. In this sentence, there is a blank with a phrase before "as tall". This indicates looking at the same level in the adjective (tall).
Option A: "than" is used as a conjunction or preposition
Option B: "like" is also used a conjunction or preposition which is not needed over here
Option C: "more" is used in case of the comparative degree of adjectives
Option D: Is the correct answer. This adjective shows no such more or less comparison between the two individuals.
Option D is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Rome was hotter ________ I expected.

A
than

B
that

C
nothing

D
as

Solution

In the above sentence, 'than' is the most appropriate word to fill the blank and complete the sentence. In the above sentence, 'than' is used to make a comparison between two types of climate- what was actually present in Rome and what was expected by the subject. Option B- that and option C- nothing cannot do this comparison while Option D- as does not highlight two different types of climate. Hence they are incorrect.
