Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Television _________ by millions of people every day.

A
watches

B
watched

C
is watched

D
are watched

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.

The correct answer is C)is watched as 'every day' indicates present tense.
Options A, B, and D are not correct as the sentence is not in the active voice, 'is' is not used and 'television' represents a singular noun respectively.

Television is watched by millions of people every day.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A patient _________ by a doctor.

A
examined

B
is examining

C
will examine

D
is examined

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.

The correct answer is D) is examined as 'by' indicate that the given sentence is in the passive voice.
Options A, B, and C are not correct as the sentence is in the passive voice and 'examined', 'is examining', 'will examine' can only be used in the active voice depending upon the tense of the sentence given in the active voice.
A patient is examined by a doctor.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
_________ is the climate like in your country?

A
What

B
Which

C
Where

D
How

Solution

Options A and B: 'What' is a question word that asks for information by specifying something. The question here asks for information regarding a particular climate.
'Which' refers to a choice between two things. The given sentence does not indicate any choice.
Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect.
Option C: 'Where' indicates location or place. The given sentence does not indicate location. Hence C is incorrect.
Option D: 'How' asks about the manner or value of something. It is irrelevant to the given sentence. Hence option D is incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
What ______________ on Sundays?

A
all usually do

B
do all usually do

C
do all usually

D
usually does all do

Solution

When we form a question with 'what', we usually invert the word order of a positive sentence, where the form is 'what + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb'
Option B: 'Do all usually do' follows the form given above: do (auxiliary verb) + all (subject) (+ usually is an adverb) + do (main verb).
Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'All usually do' is missing the auxiliary verb 'do'. Hence this phrase is incomplete and A is wrong.
Option C: Similarly, 'do all usually' is missing the main verb, hence C is incorrect.
Option D: In 'usually does all do', 'does' is a singular verb and does not agree with the subject 'all'. When the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural. Hence option D is incorrect.
('Do' can function as an auxiliary verb as well as a main verb.)
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
Someone has opened this letter. This letter ________.

A
have been opened

B
has been opened

C
was opened

D
has opened

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.
The correct answer is B)has been opened
The option B is correct as the given sentence is in active voice and to transform it into passive voice the subject of the given sentence
(someone) comes in the place of the object(this letter- somebody is ignored here) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the present perfect tense, 'been' is added after the helping verb 'has' and before the past participle form of the main verb (open).
Options A, C, and D are wrong as have, was, and has cannot be used respectively.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
"How have you been, Mona?", asked Fred.
Fred asked Mona how ______________. [Intermediate]

A
she was

B
she had been

C
was she

D
had she been

Solution

While changing the speech from direct to reported speech, the tense changes one tense back. For example, if the direct speech is in present tense (and the reporting verb is in the past tense) then the indirect/reported speech will be in past tense.
Also, when the speech is indirect, the point of narrative also changes (from I to she/he and from my to his/her).
Option B: The given sentence is in the present perfect tense "have you been". Hence the reported speech will be in the past perfect tense 'had been'.
Also, the question form changes to statement form while reporting the speech: from 'have you been' to 'she had been'.
So, option B is correct.
Option A: 'She was' is in the simple past tense, whereas the direct speech is in present perfect. So, it should be in past perfect tense.
Option C: Similarly, 'was she' is also in simple past tense. The only difference is that it's in interrogative form ('she was' is in statement form).
Option D: 'Had she been' is in the interrogative form whereas the reported speech is a declarative statement.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Jack: "I have spoken to Tom."
Jack __________________ to Tom. [Intermediate]

A
says that he had spoken

B
said that he had spoken

C
say that he speaks

D
had spoken that he will say

Solution

While changing the speech from direct to reported speech, the tense changes one tense back. For example, if the direct speech is in present tense (and the reporting verb is in the past tense) then the indirect/reported speech will be in past tense. Also, generally the reporting verb is in the past tense, as the speech is reporting a past event.
Option B: The given sentence is in the present perfect tense 'have spoken'. Hence the reported speech will be in the past perfect tense 'had spoken'. Also, the reporting verb 'said' is in the past tense.
So, option B is correct.
Option A: The reporting verb 'says' is in the present tense, whereas the reported speech must be in the past.
Option C: Similarly, 'say' is in the present tense.
Option D: 'Had spoken that he will say' is complicated in meaning and does not contain the reporting verb 'said'. The reporting verb is required to introduce the indirect speech.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
"Are you leaving, Sam?", asked Mabel.
Mabel asked Sam if he _________________. [Intermediate]

A
is leaving

B
leaves

C
was leaving

D
would leave

Solution

While changing the speech from direct to reported speech, the tense changes one tense back. For example, if the direct speech is in present tense (and the reporting verb is in the past tense) then the indirect/reported speech will be in past tense.
Option C: The given sentence is in the present continuous tense: 'Are you leaving?' Hence the reported speech will be in the past continuous tense 'was leaving'.
So, option C is correct.
Option A: 'Is leaving' is in the present continuous tense, whereas the reported speech must be in the past.
Option B: 'Leaves' is in the simple present tense and expresses a daily action, as opposed to the past action ('asked Sam') here.
Option D: 'Would leave' indicates a hypothetical action (an action that is assumed and hasn't taken place) whereas the direct speech expresses a definite action 'Are you leaving?'
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
_________ of these students studies hard?

A
What

B
How

C
Which

D
Who

Solution

Options A and C: 'What' is a question word that asks about a specific thing.
'Which' indicates a choice between things or people.
The given sentence asks for a choice between students. Hence 'which' is preferred over 'what', and option C is correct; A is incorrect.
Option B: 'How' refers to the manner in which something is done. It doesn't apply here, hence B is incorrect.
Option D: 'Who' refers to person; but it does not refer to choice. Hence this option is incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
The letter _________ by the secretary now.

A
is being typed

B
typing

C
typed

D
types

Solution

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.
The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.

The correct answer is A) is being typed as 'now' indicates the present continuous tense.
Options B, C, and D are not correct as the sentence is in the passive voice,'being' is not used and 'types' cannot be used respectively.
The letter is being typed by the secretary now.
