Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Which of these is NOT the function of a sentence?

A
To join two sentences.

B
To ask a question.

C
To express extreme emotion.

D
To declare something.

Solution

We have to choose the option that does not describe the function of a sentence.
Interrogative sentences ask a question, 'What are you doing right now?'
Exclamatory sentences exclaim or express sudden emotions like "Hurrah! We won.
Declarative or Assertive sentences declare or state something, 'I received a job today.'
Hence these are the functions of a sentence, and B, C and D are incorrect.
We choose option A because this is not the function of a sentence. Conjunctions join two or more sentences, a sentence itself cannot do that.
Question 2
1 / -0

Identify and replace the Adverb Phrase with an Adverb of the same meaning:

They arrived at that moment. [Intermediate]

A
They arrived now.

B
They arrived there.

C
They arrived late.

D
They arrived then.

Solution

An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb. Thus, the adverb phrase can be rewritten with an adverb.
Option D is correct. The adverb phrase "at that moment" has been replaced by an adverb "then" that not only modifies the verb "arrived", but also retains the meaning of the original sentence. "At that moment" can be rewritten as "then".
Option A is incorrect. While "now" is an adverb that replaces the adverb phrase. it does not mean the same as "at that moment". "Now" is a replacement of the adverb phrase "at this moment".
Option B is incorrect for the same reason as A. The adverb "there" does not mean the same thing as "at that moment". The former refers to place while the latter refers to the time of the action.
Option C is incorrect for the same reason as A. While "late" is an adverb, it does not mean the same as "at that moment". The phrase refers to a specific point in time while "late" does not.
Question 3
1 / -0

Identify the sentence(s) containing an adverb phrase: [Intermediate]

A
Standing about in a cold wet wind did me no good.

B
Zaine shouted at the top of his voice.

C
Lakesha hopes to win the approval of her mother by switching her major from arts to economics.

D
The sweet potatoes in the garbage bin are green with mold.

Solution

An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb.
Option B is correct. The phrase "at the top of his voice" tells us the degree to Zaine shouted. In other words, it modifies the verb "shouted" and thus, is an adverb phrase.
Option A is incorrect. There is no phrase that modifies the verb. Instead, the sentence contains a noun phrase that acts as the object: Standing about in a cold wet wind. It answers the question "did what"?
Option C is incorrect. It does not contain any phrase that modifies the verb "hope". Instead, the sentence contains an infinitive phrase "to win the approval of her mother" which acts as a noun as it is the direct object of the verb "hopes".
Option D is incorrect. The sentence does not contain an adverb phrase, but a prepositional phrase, "in the vegetable bin" which tells us which sweet potatoes are green with mold.
Question 4
1 / -0

Identify and replace the Adverb Phrase with an Adverb of the same meaning:

The victim was murdered in a brutal manner. [Intermediate]

A
The victim was brutally murdered.

B
The victim was violently murdered.

C
They victim was quietly murdered.

D
The victim was murdered cruelly.

Solution

An adverb phrase is a group of words that does the work of an adverb, that is, modify the verb. Thus, the adverb phrase can be rewritten with an adverb. Here the adverb phrase is "in a brutal manner".
Option A is correct. Not only is the adverb phrase replaced by the adverb "brutally", it also retains the meaning of the original sentence.
Option B, C and D are incorrect. While the adverb phrase has been replaced by adverbs, the meaning of the adverbs - "violently", "quietly", "cruelly" - are not the same as the original phrase "brutal manner".

Correct option for blank (2)

A
gift

B
present

C
prize

D
treasure

Solution

Option C: The noun 'prize' refers to 'a thing given as a reward to the winner of a competition'; the line "Diamond Membership to the British Council Library for 12 months" refers to a prize, which would be won by the winner (I have won the... competition). Hence C is the most suitable option.
Options A and B: 'gift' and 'present' are both synonyms. They refer to 'a thing given to someone willingly, without any payment'. A gift or a present is something that you receive for your birthday, or any special occasion. It is not what you receive in a competition. Hence options A and B are incorrect.
Option D: 'treasure' refers to 'a quantity of gems or valuable metals like gold', it does not refer to 'a thing that is won in a competition'. Hence D is incorrect.
