  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

    The country lies _____ those mountains that you can see from here.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    We are to choose the adverb which describes the location of the country.
    Option B and D -'Below' and 'Beneath' mean underneath something. The country cannot be under the mountains. Hence both the options are incorrect.
    'Anew' means 'afresh and start from beginning'. Therefore Option C is the incorrect option.
    Option B- 'Beyond' means 'farther away or at a distance'. This word aptly describes the location of the country. The country is at a distance or farther away from the mountains.
    Hence Option B is the correct option.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
    There is always mischief _______ when the children's parents are away.
    Solution
    The given options are compound adverbs which are contracted to a word with 'a' added to it, for example 'on foot' is contracted to 'afoot'. The speaker says that when parents are away, there's always mischief, and an adverb is required to modify "mischief". From the options, 'afoot' is most suitable, it means 'in progress', like the mischief when the children's parents are away. Hence option D is correct. 'Asleep' is 'a state of sleeping', and mischief can't be asleep, even metaphorically, the sentence is about mischief that takes place, it isn't dormant, or 'asleep'. Hence option A is incorrect. 'Ahead' is 'to advance' or 'in front of', and isn't relevant to the statement. 'Ahead' is a direction and does not modify 'mischief'. Hence option B is incorrect. 'Away' means 'to be gone', and 'mischief' doesn't go, but it's in progress in the sentence, hence option C is also incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

    The family are _____ the ship that sailed away yesterday.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option C.
    Option A- 'Afoot' means 'on foot'. The family is in the ship, thus this is not the correct option.
    Option B- 'Abed' means 'in bed'
    and 
    Option D - 'Ahead' means 'leading someone'. Both these options have no connection with a ship, hence these options are incorrect.
    Option C -'Aboard' means 'on or into a ship'. The family is in the ship that sailed away the previous day.
    Hence Option C is the correct option.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

    She sighed _____ when she heard the news.
    Solution
    The adverb 'heavily' is used to express  'how' or 'in what manner'. In the given sentence she sighed when she heard the news which indicates that the news wasn't good. Thus, the adverb 'heavily' is used to express the sad manner in which she sighed.
    She sighed when she heard the news. Option A i.e. happy cannot be used here as it is an adjective and we would have to convert it into its adverb 'happily'. It is still incorrect as one does not sigh when one is happy.
    When an adjective ending in 'y' is changed into an adverb, the 'y' changes into 'i' and 'ly' is added. Hence, option C is incorrect as the spelling should be 'heavily'.
    Option D is also incorrect as a sigh is a long drawn breath and not a quick one also, quick is an adjective which cannot modify the verb sighed.
    Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

    She interrupted me _____ through my speech.
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answer because 'midway' means in the middle of something and it sounds grammatically and logically correct to use in the sentence.
    'Meanwhile' means for the moment or on the other hand, 'sometimes' means occasionally and 'otherwise' usually means or else. Options A, B and D are incorrect because the meanings of these words do not fit into this sentence.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

    Marie went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. In the _____, her husband looked after the child.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    There are two actions happening in these two sentences.
    The first action is that Marie went to prepare dinner and the second action is the husband looking after the child. Both the actions are paralleled and taking place at the same time. So we are to choose the adverb of time that expresses this parallel activity.
    Option A - 'sometimes' is an adverb of frequency and is used when an action does not take place always.
    Option C- 'Yesterday' is a particular day in the past. Here we have two actions taking place at the same time. So it is not the suitable answer.
    Option D-'Midway' is used when one action takes place in the midst of another action and here in this sentence we have two actions taking place at the same time.
    Therefore Option B - 'Meantime' is the correct answer. It aptly describes that at the time when Maire went into the kitchen, her husband took care of the child at the same time. 

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
    She ________ told her children that they should not play in the garden after nightfall.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the subject "She" performs an action, (the verb) "told" toward the object "her children". The space between 'she' and 'told' is to be filled by a word that modifies the verb. Adverbs are words that modify adjectives, verbs and other adverbs. They state the manner of a verb, or refer to a place, or degree of something. From the given options, 'promptly' is an adverb, it refers to the manner in which she told her children, it means 'immediately', hence option B is correct. 'Clever' and 'wise' are adjectives that both refer to the intelligence of a person. They modify nouns by describing them, and don't modify verbs, hence options A and C are incorrect. 'Kinder' is a comparative form of the adjective 'kind', it modifies a noun as in 'kind mother', and does not modify the verb 'told', hence option D is also incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
    When her mother called her, Lisa went _____ with her to the car.
    Solution
    The sentence is made of two clauses "When her mother called her" and "Lisa went with her to the car". Each clause has a subject (a noun that performs an action) and a verb (the action the subject performs). In the second clause, "Lisa" is the subject, who performs an action (verb) "went". A word that modifies the action is required. Usually a word modifies an action in terms of manner and the word is an adverb. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. From the given options, 'readily' is an adverb that refers to the manner of the action "went". Hence option C is correct. 'Ready' is an adjective that means 'prepared for an action or situation, in a suitable state'. An adjective modifies a noun by describing it, it does not modify a verb. Hence option A is incorrect. Similarly, 'quick' is also an adjective, it means 'fast' or 'prompt' and modifies a noun, adjectives don't modify verbs, hence option D is incorrect. 'Readier' is the comparative form of the adjective 'ready' used to compare the degree of being ready between two individuals. The sentence is not a comparison, hence option B is incorrect.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:

    I could not find the house nowhere.
    Solution
    Indefinite pronouns do not refer to a specific person, place, or thing. In English, indefinite pronouns are formed using quantifiers like any, some, no and every. Since the given statement is declarative and the speaker doesn't state a specific place, we cannot use 'where' and should instead use an indefinite pronoun. Therefore option B is incorrect. The indefinite pronoun 'somewhere' is used in affirmative sentences. 'Nowhere' is used in affirmative sentences with a negative meaning signifying absence, but they are not negative sentences since they lack the word 'not'. Since the given statement is a negative sentence, option A and D are incorrect. On the other hand, the indefinite pronoun that is used in negative sentences is 'anywhere', thus option C is correct.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the sentence at the underlined point:

    He is so strong.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    'So' is used to express degree. Here in the given sentence we are to identify the option that aptly expresses the degree of strength.
    'Almost' and 'some' are used in the meaning of 'not completely' and 'unspecified' amount respectively. 
    In the given sentence the adverb of degree 'so; is used. This means that 'he' is strong to a level of completeness. Therefore Option A and C are not the suitable options.
    Option D- 'No change' is not the correct answer because the sentence is incomplete. The adverb 'so' is always followed by 'that'; for e.g. 'he is so strong that...'
    'Very' correctly denotes the meaning of complete strength. Hence it is the correct option.
