Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Identify the option which makes correct use of the adverb. 
    Solution
    'Enough' is an adverb of degree which is here followed by 'to' + infinitive. 'Pass the exam' is an infinitive. Thus, option C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct adverb from the options given below:
    We are standing ________ his house waiting for him.
    Solution
    An adverb is a word or set of words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They answer questions such as how, when, where, why, how often,  how much etc.
    In the sentence given, it says 'we are standing ___ his house waiting for him'.
    The question we need to ask is 'Where are they standing?'
    The correct word from the options given to answer this question is option A) outside which means situated beyond the boundaries of someplace.
    Option B) down is both a preposition (when it follows a noun) and an adverb (when it doesn't follow a noun). In the given sentence, 'down his house' is incorrect grammatically and so option B) is incorrect.
    Option C) about is used as an adverb to indicate movement in an area and does not answer 'where they are standing' and so is incorrect.
    Option D) Away is used to indicate a distant location from a particular place or person. Generally, it is followed by 'from'. In the given sentence, 'away' is incorrect as the sentence will be incomplete without 'from' following 'away'.
    Therefore, the correct answer is option A) outside.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct adverb from the options given below:
    I ____ play badminton with my sister.
    Solution
    An adverb is a word or set of words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They answer questions such as how, when, where, why, how often,  how much etc.
    In the given sentence, the question that needs to be asked is "when does he/she play badminton with his/her sister?"

    Today, soon and Now are incorrect words to fill in the blank. 
    'Today' is an adverb as it answers the question when but in the given sentence it is incorrect because it always talks about a specific day and is not used to denote a general day. 
    'Soon' is an adverb used to indicate something that happens in or after a short time.
    'Now' is an adverb that is used to denote something that is happening in the present and cannot be used in the sentence as it is not talking about the present.
    Therefore, options A, B and C are incorrect.
    The correct answer is option C) often which indicates the frequent occurrence of an event.


  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
    The essay is _______ good.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option B.
    In the given sentence we are to choose the word that correctly describes how 'good' the essay is. 
    Option A -MORE is used when a comparison between two things is made.
    Option C-MOST is used when a comparison between more than two things is made. 
    In the given sentence there is no such comparison being made. The sentence is about a single essay. Hence these two options are incorrect.
    Option D-MUCH means a large amount and is usually used with 'better' in the comparative degree. There is no meaning of large amount or meaning of comparison in the given sentence. Hence this too is not the correct answer.
    Option B-VERY is used for emphasis. This word correctly describes 'how good the essay is'. Hence Option B is the correct answer.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Select a suitable adverb from the options given below for blank $$[4]$$.
    Solution
    The paragraph is talking about the importance of doing work in life. 'Definitely' is an adverb of manner which is the correct answer. The sentence explains that whoever does not work ruins themselves. Thus, option C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the option which makes correct use of the adverb. 
    Solution
    Both the options A and B are wrong. If we need a word to describe noun or pronoun we use 'good'. If we need to use a word to describe a verb we use 'well'. In the given sentence, 'good' should be used to define the taste of ice cream which is a noun. Thus, option D is the correct answer. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that makes correct use of the adverb:
    Solution
    'Sweet' is an adverb of manner. Here we mean the smell of the flower and not what the flower does. Thus, option A is the correct answer. 
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
    Are you feeling _____ better today?
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option C.
    We are to complete the sentence with the correct adverb.
    Option A -VERY is used to indicate emphasis. 
    Option B-TOO is used indicate excessiveness and addition.
    Option D-MORE is used to indicate meaning of greater amount.
    In the given sentence, the speaker wishes to ask whether there is even a slight improvement in the listener's health. None of the options given above bring out this meaning and hence they are incorrect.
    Option C-ANY means slight and is used to refer to one or some of a thing.
    Hence this complies with the meaning of the sentence and is the correct answer.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
    It took us ______ five hours to reach the airport.
    Solution
    The given sentence has to be filled with the most suitable adverb. Reading the sentence, it is understood that it requires the adverb that means - almost five hours.
    Hence, option C is correct. 'It took us nearly five hours to reach the airport', 'nearly' shows the degree of adverb here.
    Option A is incorrect, as 'always' means every time. Here, the sentence is about an event that happened once and not every time, hence 'always' is the wrong option.
    Option B is incorrect, as 'enough' means adequate or sufficient. 'Sufficient five hours is grammatically incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect, as option C is the correct answer.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most suitable adverb:
    He had _______ reached the metro station when the metro started.
    Solution
    The correct answer is Option D.
    We are to choose the correct adverb which describes the manner in which he had reached the metro station when the metro started.
    Option A-NEAR denotes place.
    Option B- FAIRLY is an adverb of manner but it does not describe the appropriate manner in which he reached the station.
    Option C-STILL means up to the mentioned time. The metro had not started before i.e. until the time mentioned in the sentence, it started when he had barely reached the station.
    Hence Options A, B, and C are not the correct options.
    Option D-HARDLY means barely. As explained above this word aptly describes the manner in which he reached the station when the metro started.
    Hence Option D is the correct answer.
