Weekly Quiz Competition

Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
She came ___________ because her car had broken down.

A
to walk

B
walk

C
by foot

D
on foot

Solution

Option A: The phrase 'to walk' expresses a purpose. The given sentence does not require a purpose. The phrase does not complete the sentence in meaning. Hence option A is incorrect.
Option B: The verb 'walk' does not express any action in the given sentence. It needs to be conjugated in relation to the subject 'She'. Hence B is incorrect.
Options C and D: We use the preposition 'by' (by foot) when referring to a mode of travel 'by plane', 'by car', etc.
But we talk about going somewhere walking, we use the expression 'on foot' and not 'by foot'. It's a set phrase and is used most commonly. 'by foot' sounds odd when used.
Hence option C is incorrect and D is the correct option.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
A: What are you boiling that water for?
B: ____________________________.

A
To make tea

B
For make tea

C
Making tea

D
Because of making tea

Solution

The sentence indicates that the subject is boiling water for the purpose of making tea. Thus, the answer must indicate this purpose. The preposition in the answer must thus, indicate a purpose and the verb must agree with that preposition.
Option A is correct. Here, 'to' indicates purpose. 'Make' agrees with 'to'. The phrase 'to make tea' as a whole correctly answers the question asked by 'A'. Thus, it is correct.
Option B is incorrect. 'For' indicates purpose but, the verb 'make' does not agree with it. 'For' is used along with verbs in their continuous form(For making tea). Thus, for make tea is grammatically flawed.
Option C is incorrect. 'Making tea' does not have a preposition to indicate purpose. It is simply a statement and does not appropriately answer the question.
Option D is incorrect. Here, 'because' indicates reason and not 'purpose'. Thus, it does not convey the correct meaning and is incorrect.
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
Henry remembered Mary's birthday and _______.

A
her a gift sent

B
a gift to her sent

C
to her a gift sent

D
sent her a gift

Solution

In the given sentence, the second clause is missing and we have to insert a grammatically correct clause in the blank.
Option A is incorrect. In the given option, the verb 'sent' is placed after the object 'gift'. A verb must always come before the object and thus, the option is grammatically incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. In the given option, the verb 'sent' is placed after the object 'gift'. A verb must always come before the object and thus, the option is grammatically incorrect.
Option C is incorrect. Although the verb here is placed after the object, this phrase is grammatically correct in the poetic sense. But it cannot be used in normal sentences as it is correct only for poems. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option D is correct. Here, the verb is placed correctly and the phrase is grammatically correct. It indicates that Henry sent a gift to the subject on her birthday. Thus, it is correct.
Question 4
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:
I don't know where ______________.

A
is the post-office

B
has the post-office

C
the post-office

D
the post-office is

Solution

The given sentence is made up of two clauses, "I don't know" and the second of which we have to fill in.
'Where' is a relative adverb that introduces a clause.
Option D: This option contains a clause, where 'the post-office' is the subject and 'is' is the verb. It completes the sentence in meaning and structure, hence D is correct.
Option A: 'Is the post-office' is in interrogative form. But the word 'where' is not a question word, but a relative adverb here. Hence A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Has the post-office' forms an incomplete sentence, because here 'has' functions as a helping verb. There is no main verb in the clause. Hence B is incorrect.
Option C: This option does not contain a clause. The sentence hence formed is incomplete. So option C is incorrect.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
He has been very lonely since ___________.

A
many years

B
long time

C
his dead wife

D
his wife died

Solution

In the given sentence, 'since' indicates a point in the past from which 'He' has been lonely till now. Thus, we can conclude that something happened at a point in the past which made him lonely. Thus, the answer must contain a verb to indicate some thing happened and it mus be in the past tense to indicate that it happened in the past.
Option A is incorrect. 'many years' does not have a verb or a particular tense. Also, it does not indicate that something happened and that event made him lonely. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option B is incorrect. 'long time' indicates a time period and does not indicate a point in time in the past. Also, it does not indicate that something happened and that event made the subject lonely. Thus, it is incorrect
Option C is incorrect. 'his dead wife' does not have a verb to indicate something happened. Thus, It does not justify why the subject is lonely and is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect. 'his wife died' indicates that the subject's wife died at a time in the past and from that point he has been lonely. Thus, it indicates that something happened and because of that the subject became lonely. Thus, it is correct.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
A: What is your new partner like?
B: She ____________________.

A
likes football

B
is like any other partner

C
likes almost nothing

D
is tall and slender

Solution

Person A asks person B about the traits or qualities of the other person (girl). 'Like' refers to the characteristics.
Option D: The adjectives 'tall' and 'slender' describe the girl's traits. This option completes the answer by person B most suitably. Hence option D is correct.
Option A: 'Likes football' answers a very specific question, like 'What does she like?'.
Option B: This answer is rather ambiguous. It does not form a complete meaning. The question asks to describe the person, and this option does not give an answer to that.
Option C: This option too, does not answer what 'the new partner' is like'. Rather, it answers what 'the new partner likes' (here, doesn't like).
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
A: Mary's very late. I hope nothing has happened to her.
B: __________________.

A
I don't either

B
Neither do I

C
So do I

D
I hope to

Solution

Here, the subject in 'A' is saying something and the subject in 'B' is responding. In the response, the subject in 'B' can either agree with the subject in 'A' or disagree.
Option A is incorrect. In 'I don't either', 'either' indicates that the subject in 'B' is agreeing with the subject in 'A' but, 'I don't' indicates disagreement. Thus, the sentence is agreeing and disagreeing at the same time which does not make sense.
Option B is incorrect. 'Neither do I' is an agreement response for a negative sentence. Since, the sentence in 'A' is positive, 'Neither do I' cannot be its response. It will indicate that the subject in 'A' did not hope for Mary's well being in the first place. Thus, it is incorrect.
Option C is correct. 'So do I' is an agreement statement used in response to positive sentences. It indicates that the subject in 'B' also hopes that nothing has happened to Mary, thus, agreeing with the subject in 'A'.
Option D is incorrect. 'I hope to' is not a agree/disagree type of response. It cannot be used to agree or disagree with a statement but is generally used to respond to questions. Thus, it is incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
A: We visited the Hitit Museum.
B: Where else _______?

A
have you visited

B
did you visit

C
do you visit

D
you visited

Solution

The past tense of the verb in the first part of the question indicates the action already being done. The auxiliary verb in option B also in the past tense indicating the completion of said activity. The auxiliary verbs in options A and C are not in the past tense, lacking the indication of the idea of the work being already done. Option D lacks the auxiliary verb and thus is unclear about the work done. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
A: Are my shoes in the box?
B: No, there ________________ in the box.

A
isn't anything

B
isn't nothing

C
aren't things

D
isn't any

Solution

Option B: 'Isn't nothing' is wrong, 'nothing' is already a negative word and it doesn't form a complete meaning with 'isn't' ('is not'). Also, there's another negation already present 'no'. Hence option B is incorrect.
Option C: 'Aren't things' sounds a bit strange. There is no need for a plural form since the answer is in the negative. Hence option C is incorrect.
Option D: 'Isn't any' sounds incomplete, because 'any' here refers to a number of things. There is only one pair of shoes in question "my shoes". Hence option D is incorrect.
Option A: 'Isn't anything' is the most suitable phrase. 'Anything' is generally used in negative statements, and it answers the question here. Hence option A is correct.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.
Helen ____________________.

A
gave Tom the pen

B
gave the pen Tom

C
gave to Tom the pen

D
gave to the pen Tom

Solution

Let’s examine the sentence: “Helen ____________________.” The sentence stars with a name, Helen, which is a noun. So the next thing this sentence should state is the work done by the noun, i.e. an action verb. If we see the options, all of them have the verb, ‘gave.’ So, this would come after ‘Helen.’ ‘Gave’ being a transitive verb requires an object. This object can be provided by one of the two nouns given in all the options, ‘Tom’ and ‘pen.’ But ‘pen’ is an inanimate object that can be given to a living person, ‘Tom.’ Hence, ‘Tom’ would come after ‘gave’ as its object and ‘pen’ would come after ‘Tom.’ So, Option A is the correct answer. All the other options would make the sentence meaningless.
