  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Identify the subject in the given sentence:

    The boy from the next block was the only one present today at the meeting.
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer. The boy is the one being talked about in the given sentence. Option B speaks about the location the boy is from, which is still about the boy. Option C is an adverb of time and, thus, cannot be a subject. Option D is the object to the preposition at. Therefore, the boy is indeed the subject of the given sentence.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the object of the verb in the sentence:

    Boarding a ship requires both dexterity and bravery.
    Solution
    The object is the word or phrase which is the recipient of the action of the transitive verb. It does not take the action. It usually answers the questions what? and who?.
    Option A is correct. The words "dexterity" and "bravery" answers the question Boarding a ship requires what? Thus option A is the object of the verb "requires".
    Option B is incorrect. "Boarding a shop" is the subject and not the object of the verb. It is the subject which requires or takes the action. 
    Option C is incorrect as "requires" is the action or verb in the sentence.
    Option D is incorrect as the correct option is A.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Identify the subject in the given sentence:

    The paper carried the news of the missing girl in the front page.
    Solution
    Option C is the correct answer. The sentence speaks about the paper, further established by the presence of the following verb carried, indicating that the former does the work in the sentence. The rest of the sentence contains of what is being said about the subject, i.e., it is the predicate. The words presented in options A,B and D are all parts of the predicate and, thus, cannot be the subject. Hence, Options A,B and D are all incorrect. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Identify the object of the verb in the sentence:

    Selina hates biting her fingernails.
    Solution
    The object of the verb is a word or phrase that does not take the action, but is the recipient of it. The object usually answers the question what? or who?.
    Option C is correct as "biting her fingernails" is the object of the verb "hates" and answers the question Selina hates what?
    Option A is incorrect as "Selina" is the subject of the sentence.
    Option B is incorrect as "hates" is the verb or predicate in the sentence.
    Option D is incorrect since the answer is option C

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Identify the subject in the given sentence:

    The moon is looking beautiful tonight.
    Solution
    The moon is being talked about in the sentence. By the placement of the verb is, we can understand that the moon is doing the work in the sentence and, hence, is the subject. Option A is an adjective used to describe the subject, the moon. Option B is an adverb of time modifying the timing of the events taking place in the sentence. Option D is the main verb of the sentence indicating the action of the moon. Thus, Option C is the correct answer.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Identify the object of the verb in the predicate:

    The crowd laughed at the officers.
    Solution
    Option C is correct. The object is the thing being acted upon. Option C answers the question: The crowd laughed at whom?. Thus, C is the right answer.
    Option A is incorrect as "The crowd" is the subject that performs the action.
    Option B is incorrect since "laughed" is the verb.
    Option D is incorrect since the answer is option C.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the word/phrase that is the adverbial qualification/extension in the predicate:
    She did her work poorly.
    Solution
    The part of a sentence excluding the subject is the predicate. The verb in the predicate is often modified by an adverb or its equivalent, known as the adverbial qualification in that predicate. In the given sentence, the verb "did" is modified by the adverb of manner "poorly", hence it is the adverbial qualification to the verb in this sentence and option D is correct. "She" is the subject of the verb "did" and "her work" is the object of the verb. None of them modify the verb, hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Pick out the noun phrase from the given sentence:
    I saw the little boy crying.
    Solution

    A phrase is a group of words which makes a clause without using a subject and a verb. Option C)the little boy is correct as boy is a noun here which has an adjective (little) as a pre modifier with the determiner the. The other options are wrong as I, I saw, and crying is a subject, subject + verb, and a gerund respectively which doesn't make a noun phrase. The correct answer is C)the little boy.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Identify the object of the verb in the sentence:

    The deer is busy eating the leaves.
    Solution
    The object is the thing or noun or phrase being acted upon.
    Option A is correct since "the leaves" is the recipient of the action. It is the direct object.
    Option B is incorrect since "eating" is the verb and not the object.
    Option C is incorrect. "The deer" is the subject that performs the action.
    Option D is incorrect as "busy" is an adjective and not the object.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Pick out the direct object of the verb in the given sentence:
    You promised me a candy.
    Solution
    Some verbs take two objects, a direct object and an indirect object. For example, in the sentence 'Shaima gave a pen', there is only one object 'pen'. In the sentence 'Shaima gave me a pen', (or 'Shaima gave a pen to me) there are two objects, 'me' and 'pen', where 'pen' is the direct and 'me' is the indirect object.
    In the given sentence, "a candy" is the direct object of the verb "promised", hence option D is correct. "You" is the subject of the verb "promised" and "me" is the indirect object. Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
    Note: The direct object answers the question 'what?' and the indirect object answers the question 'to who/whom?'
