  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Name the part of speech of the underlined word in the following sentence:

    Suddenly, one of the wheels came off.
    Solution
    An adverb is a word that adds meaning to a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
    Preposition off  is used to say that something has been removed or become separated: like here, wheel are separated.
    The adverb 'off' also adding meaning to the verb 'came'.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose which of the four options (A), (B), (C) or (D), fits best into the sentence: 

    The music from the loudspeakers was _________ deafening.
    Solution
    The adverb 'literally' is used for 'emphasis while not being literally true'.
    In the given question, it emphasizes the high volume of music as being deafening, without causing any actual deafness, and hence option B is the correct answer.
    The music from the loudspeakers was not 'intended to cause deafness', and therefore option A, which means 'in such a manner so as to get a desired result' is incorrect.
    The adverb relatively is used to indicate 'comparison'. Since in the above question, the volume of the music is not being compared to any other sound, option C is incorrect.
    Practically refers to realistic/pragmatic/matter of fact situations. In the question above, there is no reference to someone actually turning deaf. Hence, option D is also incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:
    The decoration is _________ finished and we should have everything ready soon.
    Solution
    The adverb 'practically' here means almost complete. In the above sentence everything will be ready once the decoration is finished. Hence, option D is correct as it implies that the decoration is almost finished but not completed yet.
    Effectively which is option A is the incorrect answer as its use in this sentence will imply that the decoration is actually finished whereas that is not the case.
    The above sentence is expressing the fact that once the decoration is finished, everything will be ready soon.Option B, 'literally' would mean that we are emphasizing that the decoration is finished without it being literally true.Hence, it is incorrect.
    The adverb 'relatively', option C, is used for comparisons. In the above sentence since no comparisons of any nature are being made, its use here would be incorrect.  
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Name the part of speech of the underlined word in the following sentence:

    It weighs about a pound.
    Solution
    The word 'about' in the above sentence tells us approximately how much 'it' weighs. Weighs is a verb and since 'about' tells us about the verb in the sentence, it will be an adverb. Therefore option A is the correct answer.
    An adjective qualifies the noun or the pronoun in a sentence. 'About' is not an adjective as it does not qualify the pronoun 'it'. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    'About' is not used instead of a noun in the above sentence. Since pronouns are the words which are used instead of a noun, 'about' is not a pronoun.
    It is also not a preposition as prepositions in sentence relate a noun or a pronoun with the other words.
    'About' does not relate either the pronoun 'it' or the noun 'pound' with the other words in the sentence. Hence, options C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Name the part of speech of the underlined word in the following sentence:

    Let us move on.
    Solution
    An adverb is a word that adds meaning to a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. The adverb 'on' adds meaning to the verb 'move'. 
    Move on is a phrasal verb means 'leave'.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Name the part of speech of the underlined word in the following sentence:
    He still lives in that house.
    Solution
    In the above sentence, the word 'still' adds to the meaning of the word 'lives'. It tells us 'He' is presently living in that house. Since 'lives' is a verb so the word qualifying it or adding to its meaning will be an adverb. Therefore option A is the correct answer.
    An adjective is used to add meaning to a noun or a pronoun. In the above sentence, 'still' does not add any meaning to the noun in the sentence which is 'house' or the pronoun 'he'. Hence, option B is incorrect.
    Conjunction is a word used to join words or sentences. 'Still' in the above sentence does neither therefore option C is incorrect.
    Option D is also incorrect as 'still' is not the name of a person, place or thing as nouns are.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the correct option:
    These flowers smell ______.
    Solution
    The given sentence is the example of adverb of manner. Adverbs that express the manner of the action in the sentence are called adverbs of manner. They answer the question 'How is the action performed ?'. Option A is the correct answer as it describes the smell of flowers and not what flower does. 
    Thus, option A is the correct answer.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank from the given alternatives.

    Nationalism can be ________ close to racism.
    Solution
    Danger is a noun which means the possibility of suffering harm or injury. Since it does not match with the following noun 'close', it can't be used in the given sentence. It's not the correct option for this statement. 'Dangerous' is an adjective which means someone or something that causes harm or injury, whereas 'dangerously' is an adverb which means the manner in which someone or something is dangerous. Nationalism can be dangerous per se, but it can only be dangerously close to something like racism. Hence the latter option is correct and the former isn't. 'Collection' over here has no relation to the sentence and its meaning, hence it's incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

    They were seated _____ the house when it began to rain outside.
    Solution
    The given sentence is the example of adverb of place. Inside is used as an adverb of place. Before is used as an adverb of time. Without is used to show not having something. 'Beneath is used to show when something is covered by another thing. 
    Thus, option A is the correct option. The sentence would become - They were seated inside the house when it began to rain outside.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

    The little boy played ______ in the sand at the beach on a bright summer's day.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    In the given sentence we have to choose the correct form of adverb that describes the manner in which the little boy played in the sand.
    Option A- 'Quickly' is an adjective of manner but not a suitable answer because 'playing quickly' does not sound practically correct and possible.
    Option C- 'Ready' is an adjective. Readily is an adverb, therefore it does not describe the action of playing and hence is the incorrect answer.
    Option D- 'Excited' is also an adjective- the adverb form is'excitedly'.
    Ruling out these 3 options we are now left with option B.
    'Happily' is an adverb of manner and correctly describes the action of playing.
    Hence Option B is the correct answer.
