Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:
Krish was absent from the office; ________, he was dismissed.

A
since

B
for

C
however

D
therefore

Solution

In the sentence, one clause or idea, "he was dismissed" is the consequence of another "Krish was absent from the office".
Option D: 'Therefore' is a conjunction used in inference-based sentences, or to indicate the consequence of an action. The word itself means 'for that reason, consequently'. Hence this is the most suitable option.
Option A: 'Since' refers to reason or cause. It does not refer to the consequence, but to the reason behind doing something. The meaning isn't relevant here.
Option B: 'For' is also used in inference-based sentences, but its meaning is different from 'therefore'.
'For' means 'reason': There must be someone outside for I heard a knock on the door. This word does not relate here as the latter clause is not a reason, but a result.
Option C: 'However' means 'in spite of the fact that' or 'even though'. This word does not relate here. ('However' means that 'regardless of what happened, something else will happen'.)
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 2
1 / -0

We must leave right away. Oh, don't be in__________.

A
so hurry

B
such hurry

C
a such hurry

D
such a hurry

Solution

'Such' is a determiner. It describes 'very' or 'to this degree'. In the given sentence, the degree of being in a hurry is talked about. Thus, option D is correct according to grammar rules.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:
The culprit was _________ fined and punished.

A
also

B
and

C
but

D
both

Solution

Conjunctions are the words used to link other words, phrases or clauses. 'But' is used to contrast things. 'And' is used to link equal parts of the sentence. 'Also' is defined as in addition. 'Both' is defined as each of two parts or persons. It is also used to link two equal parts of the sentence.
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the suitable conjunction from the options given.
The house __________ we've just bought overlooks the beach.

A
That

B
What

C
Then

D
Where

Solution

The conjunction 'that' is used to identify a specific person or thing observed or heard by the speaker. In this sentence, the speaker is using this particular conjunction to specify the house which overlooks the sea. Hence option A is the correct answer.
Option B is incorrect because 'what' is used to ask for information specifying something or to ask about the reason for something. So, this conjunction cannot be used to frame a complete meaningful sentence in the given context.
'Then' is used to indicate what happens or happened next, or what should be done next. It is also used to mean ‘at that time’, referring either to the past or the future, 'next' or 'in addition'. As none of these usages of 'then' can make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful, option C is incorrect as well.
We use 'where' as a conjunction to mean in the place that or in situations that. Since this usage too is not grammatically correct if used in the sentence, option D is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:
Do you know _________ the magician performed the trick?

A
how

B
however

C
whenever

D
then

Solution

Conjunctions are used to link two words, phrases or clauses together.
'However' here is used to for describing that it makes no difference how good, bad, difficult etc something is or how much there is of something. 'Whenever' is used to say 'every time that' or 'any time that'. It is used with present simple in most of the cases. 'Then' is used to denote time. 'How' is used to make questions. Here, the question is made about the magician.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:
The baby is crying _____ it is hungry.

A
because

B
yet

C
though

D
or

Solution

Conjunctions are used to link two words, phrases or clauses together. 'Because' is used to provide a reason for something. In the given sentence, the reason why the baby is crying is explained. 'Or' is used with either to provide choices in the sentence. 'Yet' is used to mean nevertheless or however. It carries a sense of negation. 'Though' is used to contrast ideas.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
We live in a flat on the top floor, __________ we don't have a garden.

A
So

B
But

C
Because

D
And

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
SO is used when a reason is expressed first.
The reason they live on the top floor is that they do not have a garden.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
BECAUSE is used as a conjunction when we express a reason.
AND is used in meaning of IN ADDITION TO.
BUT is used to express contrast.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I like New York, ____________ it's very exciting.

A
Because

B
But

C
And

D
So

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
BECAUSE is used as a conjunction when we express a reason. The reason the speaker likes New York is the city being exciting.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
SO is used when a reason is expressed first - for e.g. This place is near the shops SO I like living here.
AND is used in meaning of IN ADDITION TO.
BUT is used to express contrast.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Our flat is small, __________ it's comfortable.

A
But

B
So

C
Because

D
And

Solution

The correct answer is Option B.
BUT is used to show contrast in meaning. Inspite of the fact that the flat is small, it is comfortable- this is the contrast. Hence BUT is used as conjunction.
OPTION B is thus the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
AND is used in meaning of 'in addition to'.
BECAUSE and SO are used when we are expressing a reason for something.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I like my job ____________ it's interesting.

A
Because

B
And

C
So

D
But

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
BECAUSE is used as a conjunction when we express a reason. The reason the speaker likes his job is the fact that it is interesting.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
SO is used when a reason is expressed first - for e.g. This place is near the shops SO I like living here.
AND is used in meaning of IN ADDITION TO.
BUT is used to express contrast.
