Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Choose the correct option for:
Someone who kills or shoots animals on private land without permission.

A
Trespasser

B
Outlaw

C
Poacher

D
Burglar

Solution

Option A - 'Trespasser' is a person who goes onto land or enters a building without the owner's permission. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'Outlaw' is a person who has broken the law and who lives separately from the other parts of society because they want to escape legal punishment. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'Burglar' is a person who illegally enters buildings and steals things. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option C - 'Poacher' is a person who kills or shoots animals on private land without permission (illegally). Thus option C is the correct answer.
'Someone who kills or shoots animals on private land without permission is called a Poacher.'
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the word closest in meaning to the underlined word/phrase.
Her haughty behaviour.

A
frantic

B
animated

C
arrogant

D
soothing

Solution

'Haughty' means unfriendly and seeming to consider yourself better than other people. E.g. She has a rather haughty manner. 'Frantic' means anxious and worried. 'Animated' means full of interest and energy. 'Arrogant' means unpleasantly proud and behaving as if you are more important than other people. 'Soothing' means making you feel calm.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Question 3
1 / -0

Choose the correct word/phrase to complete the sentence.
It's so late in the night and I'm trying to sleep. You have to ______ the radio a little.

A
turn up

B
turn down

C
turn over

D
turn off

Solution

The phrasal verb, 'turn down' when used along with the words, 'radio' or 'television' or 'heater' means 'reduce the amount of sound or heat being produced, by adjusting the control'. The phrasal verb, 'turn up', means the opposite of the word, 'turn down' when used along with the word, 'radio'.
When we read the second sentence along with the first sentence, we understand that it is late in the night and the speaker is trying to sleep. However, the sound arising from the radio is disturbing him. Hence, the appropriate phrase to be used is 'turn down' i.e reduce the volume of the radio. The phrase 'turn up' is not appropriate because increasing the volume of the radio would disturb the speaker further. Hence, option B is correct and option A is incorrect.
The phrasal verb 'turn over' means 'hand something to someone'. Eg: The witness turned over the physical evidence of the theft to the police'. Given this meaning, option C is incorrect.
The phrasal verb 'turn off' means 'switch off'. While switching off the radio would give relief to the speaker and allow him to sleep, this is not appropriate in the given sentence. This is because, the phrase, 'a little' has been used. A radio can either be 'switched off' or 'switched on'. It is not possible to switch off a radio 'a little'. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the word which is closest to the opposite in meaning of the following underlined word.
Hydra is biologically believed to be immortal.

A
Undying

B
Perishable

C
Ancient

D
Eternal

Solution

The underlined word 'immortal' means 'living forever, never dying or decaying'.
Option B: 'Perishable' means 'likely to decay or go bad quickly'. It means the opposite of 'immortal'. Hence option B is correct.
Options A and D: Undying and eternal both mean the same as the underlined word. They both mean 'lasting or existing forever'. Hence A and D are incorrect.
Option C: 'Ancient' refers to something that existed a long time ago. It isn't related to the underlined word. Hence C is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Select the word closest in meaning to the given word:
Obligatory

A
Required

B
Stubborn

C
Agreeable

D
Useful

Solution

'Obligatory' means something necessary to do. E.g. The medical examination before you start work is obligatory. 'Required' means necessary according to the rules. 'Stubborn' means someone who is determined to do what he or she wants and refuses to do anything else. 'Agreeable' means pleasant or pleasing. 'Useful' means effective; helping you to do or achieve something.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Select the word closest in meaning to the given word:
Dodge

A
Avoid

B
Break up

C
Drag

D
Push forward

Solution

'Dodge' means to avoid being hit by something by moving quickly to one side. E.g. He dodged to avoid the hurtling bicycle. 'Avoid' means to stay away from something. 'Break up' means a gradual division into smaller pieces. 'Drag' means to move something by pulling it along a surface. 'Push forward' means to continue doing something or making progress in something.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Select the word closest in meaning to the given word:
Charter

A
Announcement

B
Article

C
Declaration

D
Document

Solution

'Charter' means a official paper. E.g. Education is one of the basic human rights written into the United Nations Charter. 'Announcement' means the act of announcing something. 'Article' means a piece of writing on a particular subject in a newspaper or magazine, or on the internet. 'Declaration' means an announcement, often one that is written and official. 'Document' means a paper with printed or written information.
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank using a meaningful phrase:
Usha walked so fast that I could hardly ____ her.

A
catch on

B
catch out

C
catch up with

D
catch up

Solution

The phrase, 'catch up with someone' means 'to go faster so that you reach the person in front of you'. As this phrase conveys a clear meaning when used in the given sentence, option C is correct. Option D is incorrect as the preposition 'with' is missing.

The phrase, 'catch out someone' means 'to show that someone has made a mistake or is not telling the truth, especially by asking them questions'. Eg: I kept questioning him to see if I could catch him out on his lies.
The phrase, 'catch on something' means 'understand something or realize that something is happening'. Eg: Ravi is very intelligent. After hearing the robbers' conversation for a minute, he caught on to their plan.
Given the meanings as above, the phrases given in options A and B cannot be used in the blank to form a meaningful sentence. Hence, these options are incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Choose the best answer :
Don't let your seniors bully you.

A
You should stand yourself up

B
You should rather stand up for yourself

C
You should rather stand for yourself

D
You should rather stand yourself

Solution

Phrasal verbs are verbs that combine with other elements to form a different meaning than the original one.
Option B: This sentence contains a phrasal verb, 'stand up', which means 'to defend or support someone/something'. It relates to the given sentence, which involves bullying. Hence B is the correct option.
In options A, C and D, the meaning isn't made clear: 'stand yourself up', 'stand for yourself', 'stand yourself'. This is because without the preposition 'up', the required meaning 'defend yourself' isn't put through.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Select the word closest in meaning to the given word:
Coy

A
Beautiful

B
Sweet

C
Talented

D
Shy

Solution

'Coy' means being shy or like a child. E.g. She gave me a coy look from under her schoolgirl's fringe. 'Beautiful' means pretty. 'Sweet' means something or someone pleasant. 'Talented' means with talent; able or skillful. 'Shy' means someone uncomfortable with other people.
Thus, option D is the correct answer.
