Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    If the underlined word isn't the direct object, then choose the object.
    We have sent some money to him.
    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  object and 'me' is the indirect object.
    In the given sentence, "some money" is the direct recipient of the verb "sent",  and option A is correct. "We" is the subject, "have sent" is the verb and "to him" is the indirect object. Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
    Note: The direct object answers the question 'what?' and the indirect object answers the question 'to who/whom?'
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the object of the verb in the given sentence:
    You need to call the manager.
    Solution
    The object is the person or thing that receives the action in a sentence. In the given sentence, "the manager" is the recipient of the action "call", hence it is the object and option D is correct. "You" is the subject, "need to" is the semi-modal verb, "call" is the main verb. Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best describes the formation of a sentence:
    Solution
    A sentence is made up of a subject and a verb, these are crucial to a sentence. Without these, the group of words cannot be called a sentence. For example, 'The moon rises', where the subject is the moon and rises is the verb. From the options, B describes the sentence, hence it's correct. Option A describes a dependent clause which is not a sentence and option C describes a phrase. Hence options A and C are incorrect. Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in B.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Identify the type of sentence given below:
    I have booked tickets for tomorrow's show.
    Solution
    Sentences are mainly divided into four types: declarative, imperative, interrogative and exclamatory. Declarative sentences merely declare or state something, imperative sentences express a command, an order or a request, interrogative sentences intend to ask a question and exclamatory sentences display extreme or sudden emotion. The given sentence states an action, that the speaker has booked tickets. This is characteristic of a declarative sentence, hence option B is correct. The sentence does not express a command or request; it does not even ask something or display any emotions. Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Pick out the object of the verb in the given sentence:
    The children built a castle with sand.
    Solution
    The object is the person or thing that receives the action in a sentence. In the given sentence, "castle" is the recipient of the action "built", hence it is the object and option C is correct. "The children" is the subject and "built" is the verb, hence options A and B are incorrect. "With sand" is a prepositional phrase, it is not the recipient of the action "built", hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Pick out the object of the verb in the given sentence:
    Mother ate breakfast in silence.
    Solution
    The object is the person or thing that receives the action in a sentence. In the given sentence, "breakfast" is the recipient of the action "ate", hence it is the object and option C is correct. "Mother" is the subject and "ate" is the verb, hence options A and B are incorrect. "In silence" is a prepositional phrase, it is not the recipient of the action "ate", hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Complete the given sentence with the option/s given below:
    A Declarative/Assertive Sentence                     .
    Solution
    Sentences are mainly divided into four types: declarative, imperative, interrogative and exclamatory. Declarative sentences merely declare or state something, imperative sentences express a command, an order or a request, interrogative sentences intend to ask a question and exclamatory sentences display extreme or sudden emotion. Usually, declarative sentences end with a full stop, hence option A is correct. In most cases, interrogative sentences end with a question mark and exclamatory sentences end with an exclamation mark, hence options B and C are incorrect. No type of sentence can end with a comma, because a comma expresses a pause between a sentence, it does not end a sentence, hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the option which is NOT the object of the verb in the given sentence:
    We ate steak, mashed potatoes and mushroom mousse for lunch.
    Solution
    The object is the person or thing that receives the action in a sentence. In the given sentence, the steak, the mashed potatoes and mushroom mousse are all recipients of the verb "ate", hence options B, C and D are incorrect. We need to choose the option that does not contain the object, "ate" is a verb hence the correct option is A.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Replace the adverb with an adverb phrase of the same meaning:
    You must temper the chocolate carefully. [Intermediate]
    Solution
    An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb. Here, the adverb is "carefully".
    Option C is correct. The adverb has been replaced can be replaced by the adverb phrase "with care". It retains the meaning of the original sentence and is therefore correct.
    Option A is incorrect. There is not adverb phrase in the sentence. Instead, the adverb "carefully" has been changed into an adjective "careful" that modifies the noun "you".
    Option B is incorrect. While the adverb has been replaced by an adverb phrase, "with great caution", the meaning of the sentence has been changed. The word "caution" is no the same as "carefully".
    Option D is incorrect for the same reason as B. The adverb has been replaced by an adverb phrase of a meaning different from the original adverb. "Great efficiency" does not mean the same as "carefully". 
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose which of these is true:
    Solution
    A sentence is made up of a subject and a verb, these are crucial to a sentence. Without these, the group of words cannot be called a sentence. For example, 'The moon rises', where the subject is the moon and rises is the verb. Hence, a sentence expresses a complete thought and option B is correct.
    Option A describes a dependent clauses, that requires a main clause for its complete meaning, it isn't a sentence so A is incorrect.
    Option C describes a simple sentence, which contains one subject, but a sentence in general can also refer to the compound or complex sentences which contain two or more subjects. Hence option C is incorrect.
    Option D is incorrect because a sentence can be complete without the object, when the verb present is not a linking verb. Generally speaking, a sentence can be complete without the object, hence D is also incorrect.
